Stop over for a concert, staff were really friendly and very helpful. Well located in Manchester City centre so easy access to the city and public transport. Breakfasts - a bit plain but ok otherwise. Recommend over many other budget accommodation, beds comfy and rooms are a nice size.

Can’t fault it, especially for the price - conveniently located, room was more than ample. Had to use key card 3 times on way to room so felt quite safe. Surprisingly quiet although it was a Thursday - Would use again

Stayed here for one night, all the staff were very friendly and we were always welcomed with a hello and a smile. The gent behind the bar was also very friendly and helpful. The only issue we had was the awful drain smell in the bathroom, was so bad it almost made me vomit during the night.

Everything was clean and well maintained. There are two buildings and we were placed in the other building—the one without a reception. The staff were quite helpful and let us leave our luggage before checking in and after checking out.

Quiet, well equips rooms. Comfy beds. No tea or coffee and looks like there used to be a bar in building 2 but it’s all shut up and closed unfortunately. Have a great stay. Convenient for Oxford Road, Piccadilly and gay village. Staff were great.

The location is excellent, very close to everything, and the place is very clean. The only downside was the experience with the guests upstairs constantly walking heavily around their room for long periods, which was extremely noisy and unpleasant.

4/10 Fair

Fine for the price but very basic. Lots of dust in the room, strange smell, tv didnt work, no kettle and no sign of wifi or contacting reception from room. Also the lift felt quite unsafe Very long queues in the morning at check out, I had a question but eventually just left. Check in staff were super friendly though so thats good and the bed was very comfy, fine for a one night stay :)
