Hotel was lovely with many quirky features in public areas and the room. Loved the air conditioning. Friendly staff who very helpful. Understood hotel is reasonably old so wheelchair access was to the rear of the building but exterior was in a graffiti street which felt a bit unsafe. Front of hotel was bright and lively.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The hotel is great. That said, the location is a double edged sword. It is in the heart of the gay district, which is amazing as it’s alive and buzzing with people. With that comes late night clubbing and the music coming through the building is incredibly disruptive. We didn’t get to sleep until 4 AM due to the noise from the nearby nightclubs.Book with caution!

Fantastic location. Very close to Manchester Piccadilly train station. Gay Village area of Manchester. Professional reception staff. Helpful with directions. Beautiful accommodation. Very clean room and bathroom. Toiletries provided. We had an early start in the morning and they provided breakfast in a bag delivered to our room as requested to take on the train. Great variety of items too. Will definitely be returning.

Absolutely fantastic room and staff, a warm welcome and great location. Great that breakfast is delivered to your room as a standard, but not one to get excited about, it was a disappointing continental as far as continentals go and definitely not worth the money I'm afraid. Wouldn't stop me from staying again though, everything else was brilliant

Great stay, such a comfortable bed.

My husband and I booked a 1 night stay as we were watching a comedian at O2 Apollo. It was a very direct, simple 20min walk to the venue. Being right on the canal was a beautiful setting. We stayed on a Thursday eve and it was busy, but the noise was not heard in our room, which was fab! Bed was so comfortable. A very compact room, but had everything we needed (we stayed in a cozy kingsize). The welcome drink of prosecco was a great touch too. Loved the minibar option too (we did not purchase, but appreciated the option nonetheless).
