"Rooms were stylish and trying to keep in with Manchester heritage. However, the look made it seem unfinished, with plastered walls and broken tiles trying to create that working/factory/industrial look. The bathroom door needed planing that’s for sure as it wouldn’t shut easy. Walk in wet floor showers are nice, though the glass wall is short so water can leak out onto the wood floor if not careful. Good location though, not right in the night time heart but a short walk away. City centre also a short walk away."

"Absolutely amazing hotel to stay in from the location to the amenities to the decor all were outstanding. Only 1 thing let this hotel down during our stay and that was breakfast! Only thing I can describe it as was an absolute disaster… people queued for tables and made to wait 25 minutes to be seated… and then when you did finally get a table the “breakfast buffet” wasn’t stocked up at all leaving everyone standing around with half empty plates waiting for staff to fill things up… no plates/bowls etc… really bad. People were even seated at coffee tables leaving them eating breakfast off their knees which I have never seen in a hotel especially one like this of such high standards on everything else. That said I would definitely stay there again but would hope a bit more effort went into breakfast service given how much we spend to stay in such lovely surroundings"
