Breakfast was nice, the bed was comfortable. The shower was a good size great temperature and pressure and the shower gel smelt lovely. I really like the addition of a fan in the room as this was needed to cool the temperature down. Location was also good.
There was a partially broken blind in my room that let the light in and the toilet flush was a little weak with a lose trigger.

Room was alright, breakfast was great hit and miss on some days.
Breakfast changed each day size of plates and glasses for juice and didn’t listen few times had to ask to be served to take order of breakfast. No lift stairs not steep to climb.

I liked it that the room (on the second floor) was quiet - even though it was above a busy bar on the night of England’s semi-final in the football World Cup. It was also nice to find there was a fan in the room to cool it down in this current heatwave. I also liked the Manchester murals on the landings of the stairway leading up to the rooms.
The set-up suited me very well for a one-night stay, but for a longer stay I would have opted to stay in a hotel rather than in a pub that let out rooms above it.

The central location was good and the bedrooms were modern. The bathroom was spacious and the shower was good. Being on the highest floor, it wasn't noisy.
The room itself was tight & pokey. It was difficult to get around the bed because it was so small. It also only had one tiny window which barely opened. Manchester was having a heatwave and so the fact that the room had no air conditioning made sleeping very challenging & difficult - and we are Australians living in the South of Spain so we're used to dealing with heat. It was well over 30 degrees in the room the whole time. There was a noisy stand-alone fan that obviously blew around the hot air, that was better than nothing but made sleeping barely possible. The outside temperature was actually ok but because of the lack of ventilation, the room stayed very hot all day & night.

Very good location either to the city centre and to Victoria train station. Comfort bed and shower, quite cooperative staff.
When you choose to stay in central places you might consider that place might be noisy in certain times.
