Very Good
The room was super clean and comfortable, the location was very walkable from the city center. I absolutely enjoyed my 2 nights stay there. The breakfast was also very very yummy, I always looked forward to it every morning. The highlight for me was when the staff helped me keep my bags in the hotel after checkout because my flight was later in the day. That was such a great gesture for me, help me save money and time for using a baggage storage. I highly recommend them.
Nothing. Everything was good

Great location for city centre. Went to the Etihad via tram. Returned on shuttle bus after concert then 10 min walk back to hotel. Clean & comfy room. Lovely bathroom with good shower. Breakfast was nice too.
No space around bottom of bed so had to climb over. No worries for us but some may prefer a little more room. Woke up early by very loud banging above us. No idea what it was though! Breakfast seemed confusing. Had to find our own cutlery and cups/glasses & ask for menus as it was unclear what we were supposed to do. Table was sticky but staff came to clean it immediately when asked. Maybe hand the breakfast menu to hotel guests as soon as they come down and direct them where to find cutlery, cups etc? Everyone was polite & helpful though!

Clearly been recently refurbished. Rooms were very well presented, the bed was comfortable, and a great shower. The staff were very polite and helpful. We needed to leave early and asked if it was possible to have breakfast half an hour before the official start time. The team sorted us out with cereal, tea, juice, and toast
Nothing really

It is central to the Armadale shopping centre and to the tram lines which is an excellent transport system around manchester city.

Secluded from the downstairs bar. Decent shot deals.
Dirty throw pillows (suspicious white crust). Need to use your room key to have access to electricity in the room. Blood on the bathroom wall. Shower was nice. Hair soap and conditioner is not made for all types of hair. My bath towel immediately rip when I dried my hair and body. Just shredded like Cinderella’s dress. You can hear music from the downstairs bar until 1 am.
