    Such a such great stay on Monday night. We are happy to say that liked staff and rooms. And it's 15 km from Manchester airport. It has a nice bar and pleasant and efficient staff.

    Disappointing area.

    The staff are amazing! They are incredibly helpful and super friendly. I loved the bathroom products, smelled wonderful.

    No where to plug in the kettle. Only suitable socket was on the floor near the bathroom. Maybe a little shelf where the suitcase stands are as there are 2 sockets there. A bathrobe would have nice. Could only access bath wash for shower not bath.

    The double rooms are perfect for someone looking for a classy hotel in the city centre. I had expected it to be noisy, but it was exactly the opposite. All in all, I had a good experience at this hotel.

    Some of the staff, seemed standoff'ish at times

    The hotel was very very good. Service excellent and we can really recommend people to stay at this hotel. If we will go back to Manchester (which we hope) we will absolutely stay at this hotel again!

    Great location, friendly and helpful staff, good coffee ! Bathroom was a good size.

    Bar was not particulary comfortable - seats etc. Would not encourage visitors to stay too long.

    I wasn't really impressed with this hotel. The heat in our room didn't work so we were provided with a small heater but there was a really bad draught coming through the windows!! The description out lived the reality of the hotel thought it was more on level with IBIS or Premier Inn and should be priced in line with these hotels.
