Christmas shopping trip
This is a very basic hotel. The hotel room was clean but the stairs leading up to it could have done with a good hoover.

Lovely visit to Manchester but wouldn't stay here
Rooms are newly refurbished were clean and comfortable. Heating appeared to be on a timer therefore until the radiators came on due to the weather room was cold. Nobody replenished the room after first night stay had to ask for items by the bar and at first was advised I would not be served as I was standing in the wrong place. When I then explained I was staying upstairs I was served with items required once pub guest completed their order. Breakfast was very poor, only the choice of a full English, a breakfast muffin or pancakes from the hot food. There were basic cereals available. In relation to the full English all items were overcooked, bacon was hard, mushrooms were annihilated not sure what had happened to the hash brown and it was all either cold or lukewarm. Pancakes were just 3 small pancakes with a scattering of blue berries and a strawberry cut up with a small sauce size dish of yoghurt. Considering the second night cost almost 3 times the cost of the first night this was very disappointing, so much so that we went out for breakfast on Saturday morning. The pub plays music until very late gone midnight considering the rooms are above there is no way of getting away from the noise of the music or pub guests congregating outside the front doors.

Must have been cool at one time, now just old and tired looking. Filthy stairwell, tiny room, light and fan in bathroom wouldn’t turn off, shower temperature set to parboil. Just a bit rubbish, all in all.

Really good stay. Super comfy bed. Very good shower, just a little criticism, the towels were not very big and were not soft and fluffy. Handy spot for the train station and the AO Arena

2/10 Poor

A deathly smell in the bathroom that we complained about and then after looking on the reviews it appears that someone else complained about this as well. Clearly they do not care about that issue because they pretended to not know about it and sent up maintenance that just recommended keeping the bathroom door closed. Horrible horrible experience. Don't recommend

Lovely room. Nice bar. Unfortunately though at breakfast the chef was screaming and swearing very loudly for all diners to hear. Apart from that the staff were very nice and accommodating throughout our stay. Breakfast was lovely despite the kitchen drama. Very handy location for the arena/ different bars/restaurants and shopping.

6/10 Good

The rooms are tiny, and ours had dust coating everything. There was a nasty smell coming out of the bathroom, we had to keep the fan running the entire time we were in the room. One of the staff was very friendly at breakfast, but blasted the volume of the morning TV shows. Everyone else could barely be bothered to help us. It was annoying to have to go down and up 2 flights of steep stairs to get a hair dryer, there should be one in every room. All the communications (signs and instructions) to guests were very unwelcoming - mostly about extra charges (of which there were many possibilities) rather than amenities (which were few). To be charged a 3 GBP deposit for a second key card on a double occupancy room is really stingy. The doors are heavy and tightly sprung, so guests coming in late at night can't help but announce their arrival with banging that can be heard throughout the floor. The included breakfast was ok. but again all about the extra charges and rules.

Loved our stay
From start to finish we thoroughly enjoyed our 2 night stay. All the staff were very friendly and professional, breakfast was very nice. Had a meal in the evening which was also very good. We will definitely be returning as it was a home from home.
