The room was clean and neatly designed.
The food was lovely, and we were offered for food to made fresh when asking about allergies.
The service in the restaurant for breakfast was excellent.
One point to make, was that we were not open at 5 O’clock in the morning to the fire alarm going off.

Everything perfect
The hotel is a minute away from the Northern Quarter with all its bars and restaurants.
The hotel is very stylish and must be brand new.
The rooms are great too.
Lastly the reception staff were so helpful 10/10.
Will definitely stay here again.

Great Hotel in great location
Nice, spotlessly clean hotel with friendly staff. Great location in the Northern Quarter with plenty of bars and eateries. Hotel bar also nice.
Only marked down 1 star as bed was a bit hard.

Nice hotel, but be sure to find and pre-book parking nearby as the hotel doesn't have a car park. Parking in Manchesters is expensive and can easily run to close to the cost of one nights stay if you are staying for 2-3 nights! Hotel was nice, staff friendly, well located, quiet (for city centre) and was close to all the things we wanted to be near. Would stay here again.

Very clean
Very clean and modern hotel. The bed was huge! Breakfast was lovely, lots of choice. The road was very busy through the night so a bit noisy up until a point but that can't be helped. Great location, just a 10 min walk from the AO Arena.

Overall pretty good, would return
Nice hotel, well located with decent parking nearby.
Staff generally very friendly and service was good. Reception staff need to be more aware of customers waiting at the bar (look up not down when passing!) but otherwise they were very friendly and welcoming. Room comfortable, clean and well equipped.
One night stay for trip to the AO, would use again for a city break.
