In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • High guest ratings across the board — Rooms and service both score 9.2, with value at 9.0 and an overall rating of 8.9 from more than 6,200 reviews.
  • Staff consistently praised — Multiple reviews call out the team's friendliness and helpfulness, from wake-up calls to going above and beyond.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Facilities score is the weakest point — While rooms and service shine, the facilities category sits at 7.8, the lowest of all rated aspects.
  • Air conditioning can be unreliable — One guest reported the AC shutting off after 30 minutes, leaving the room too warm. It's worth checking with reception if you're sensitive to heat.
  • No on-site parking mentioned — The hotel doesn't list parking, so if you're driving, you'll need to plan ahead for public car parks or street parking in central Manchester.
  • Pets are not allowed — If you're travelling with a dog or cat, this property won't work – the policy is no pets on site.
