Lovely chic hotel
Fabulous location. Chic modern hotel. Great rooms, well appointed. Only downside is getting £100 taken out of my account on check-in. Then not getting it back for 5 - 7 working days...

Great location, clean and comfy room
Great location - clean room, fully stocked fridge and snacks, comfy bed, nice bathroom, clean and tidy. We didn't receive our welcome drink we were promised - they even gave it to the couple in front of us and then deadpan ignored us! cheeky.

Not what it used to be
The Velvet Hotel used to be my favourite place in Manchester to stay, having been a few times. I've always recommended it. But this time around definitely fell short. I paid over £400 for a night in one of the suites with a bath in the room. The best part was being able to check in early - that was appreciated and helpful although no welcome drink as I've been used to on arrival (the little things matter). The room was absolutely lovely and nicely presented (needed a good clean though as there was dust all over the walls and the waterfall shower didn't have all jets working as it was clogged up- I quickly scrubbed away the limescale and got it fully on (but again, the little things). The carpet needed a good clean as well. Slept soundly with no issues. In the morning I thought I'd make myself a coffee and a tea, but there was No mugs, no milk, no coffee and no tea in the room. I went down to reception and asked and was given a coffee pod, two teabags and two mugs. Still no milk and there was no offer to bring it up. (the lift was out of order as well so a lot more walking). The next thing was having a morning bath (I'd paid over £100 difference to get a room with a bath). It was our 7 years anniversary so I wanted to make sure it was nice. The plug didn't latch so you couldn't run a bath. On check out we told reception this and was given a very half hearted apology. I think I'm really disappointed by how it's gone downhill and the lack of effort to make it up.

Fabulous
Our stay at The Velvet Hotel was lovely from the moment we arrived to the time we left. Check in was really quick and efficient and being given a glass of Rosé Prosecco to drink while we were checking in was a really nice touch. Our room was lovely. Spotlessly clean, well equipped and really comfortable. My only observation would be that because we were on a low floor the noise from Canal Street below was quite noticeable when we got back to our room after being out for the night. This wasn’t an issue for us, but light sleepers may want to ask for a higher floor or bring ear plugs with them.

Generally ok stay with some gripes
Nice stay overall but let down by a couple of things. We ate in the brasserie on Thursday night but the service was very poor. Slow, didn’t take drink order until the food order and didn’t offer us a dessert or the bill. We had to chase this. We were in room 26 and it was a bit tired. Loose tiles on the floor in the bathroom, A lot of scuffs and marks on the furniture and the carpet could do with being replaced as it was worn. The TV also didn’t work properly. Freeview channels were constantly glitching. The bed was very comfortable and the rooms were quiet. The area was nice and central but we wouldn’t stay at this hotel again.

Let down
We stay here regularly and unfortunately this time was a big let down. The bathroom lights decided to stop working, they are run on touch buttons and so are liable to stop working. We were offered another barhroom to use on another floor which isn't good, we payed 500 pounds for a boutique room not a hostel. The room was in general disrepair and the coffee machine didn't work.....standard in most hotels. We have stayed here regularly and have seen a slowl decline in the standard. The staff are excellent, but maybe a little training on how to reset lights in the rooms would help, it's just a reset of the plc.

Your best place to stay in Manchester
Are you stayed at this hotel during Manchester pride, that was my reason for going. The hotel is right in the middle of the festivities. Literally, you have to be part of the festival in order to stay there during that time. The hotel is amazing. I chose the Loft which was incredible lots of space and lots of amenities. The staff was very accommodating and they welcomed me with a glass of champagne. As well as a pile of champagne in my room.

Are stay was pretty good but there were some things that could improve for example i had to go down twice to reception due to my key card not working but the issue was dealt with quickly and the staff apologised for the inconvenience. Also the room had some age related issues such as the main light housing in the room was peeling away and there were cracks in the tiles in the bathroom which made the tiles move a little when you stepped on them but, overall is was a good hotel and the staff were amazing.
