Location, friendly & welcoming staff and really well kept rooms. Bathroom and bedroom were exceptionally clean and well maintained.
Nothing major, perhaps a bottle of water in the room would be nice and the room had an overpowering floral smell, we opened a window so no real issue. The huge diffuser in the bathroom is maybe too big for those spaces!

It was very clean and the staff was very nice
The only thing is because it is at a big cross road, it is pretty loud in the room. I wasn’t too bothered as I wear earplugs but my partner didn’t sleep too well. Aside from that everything was great

Fantastic location, value for money , clean , warm and modern rooms, friendly staff .
Noisy , but this is out of the hotels control. Only coffee that I seen available was instant , not great at this day and age . Rooms would benefit from a bottle of water or two beside the kettle . None of these issues /points ruined my stay though

Location of the hotel was perfect not far from Salford Station and Manchester City centre was with walking distance. The room was really clean and lovely decorated. There was no noise from outside but sadly in the morning there were a few noisy guests leaving but not the property's fault. Breakfast choices were amazing I had the eggs benidict which was delicious.
Not a dislike but it would have been lovely to have a bottle of water in room.

Location was good, and the breakfast was ok. Hair drier
Didn't like the hard floors in bedroom- really clinical. The toilet seat wasn't attached properly, so it was very difficult sitting , as the seat slid about. Wasn't keen on handing back card over as I arrived, when I'd already paid prior. Not keen on blinds on window, prefer curtains

Absolutely worth staying here! The room was excellent, with modern décor, spotless cleanliness and all the facilities we needed for a comfortable stay. There is a great pub downstairs serving an excellent breakfast, and the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. The location is fantastic — right in the city centre, making it easy to explore Manchester on foot. Public transport is also easily accessible if needed.
We honestly have nothing negative to say about our stay. Everything was great, and we would definitely stay here again. Highly recommended!
