The staff were absolutely wonderful. Everyone was incredibly friendly and welcoming, and I enjoyed having a little chat with them whenever I came in or went out.
The overall design of the hotel and rooms were beautiful. My room was very spacious and comfortable, with plenty of room for everything. The internet connection was excellent. Even though my room was on the ground floor towards the back, the Wi-Fi worked perfectly throughout my stay. The heating and ventilation also worked very well.
I had informed the hotel that I would be arriving late for check-in, and when I arrived, I received a very warm welcome. The check-in process was quick and hassle-free.
The room had everything I could need: an iron and ironing board, hairdryer, tea, coffee, and even hot chocolate. The complimentary cookies were also a lovely touch and delicious. :)
I didn't get to try the breakfast as it wasn't included in my package. However, from what I saw during my morning departures, it looked like a very extensive breakfast with plenty of options.
The location is another major advantage. Being right in the city centre makes it easy to get around. The tram is only a 1–2 minute walk away, and the main shopping street is around 5–10 minutes away. Manchester Art Gallery is also just across the road, and I would definitely recommend visiting.
Check-out was just as smooth. You can also leave your luggage at the hotel free of charge, which is very convenient if you have time to explore the city before your flight.
I would absolutely stay here again and would happily choose this hotel every time I visit Manchester. Thank you so much for everything! :)
Personally, I prefer firmer mattresses, so the bed was perhaps a little softer than I would normally choose. However, it was still very comfortable, and this is obviously a matter of personal preference.

Mention, I must, the kitchen staff, behind the scenes, unsung hero's of The ALAN. Spoke to a few of them, but not ALL of them, (Breakfast is really good....!)
Chefs, Alex, Arthur, kitchen staff Maxwell, Pascal, lovely chap from Nigeria. ALL The ALAN staff are SO kind, friendly, Beautiful Hotel, kindly & homely feel, to this Hotel, nothing is too much trouble for them.. Russ x x
Nothing....!

The convenience to everything and the car park. The staff was amazing and attentive to all our needs.
The windows do not have sheers, only curtains and the room faced an office building. Not very private unless the curtains were completely closed making the room dark and requiring many lights on in the room even during the day.

Location, lobby, food & staff
Room was awful - dirty shower curtain & no air con. My colleagues all got a refurbished room which was lovely so suggest asking for one of those.
