My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were nice enough and clean, and I particularly enjoyed the lovely evening meals, which were some of the best I've had in that price range. While the hotel reminded me of a Uni flat in some aspects, the staff kindly stored our bags for us.

The location worked well for us as it was where we wanted to stay. While it was a bit of a walk to the main shopping centers like Picadilly and the Arndale, Uber rides were affordable. The hotel is situated within the city center, making it a good base to explore Manchester.

The hotel rooms were really hot, which we enjoy, but a bit small for a long stay. Being next to a noisy sports hall meant loud music and ball games from early morning until evening. The staff weren't welcoming and the early check-in fee was dissatisfying, especially given the cleanliness issues in the bedding. On the bright side, the location was great for our needs, not too busy and close to everything. The dining experience had some ups and downs, with delicious buffet options but pricey bar drinks. Overall, the hotel provided good value for money, with hospitable service and secure parking facilities.

My stay at the hotel was comfortable and as expected. The breakfast was excellent, and the staff were friendly. However, the rooms, especially by the sports hall used for practice early in the morning, were quite run down and need updating, which made it very loud.

I had a fantastic stay at this hotel! The rooms were clean and spacious, offering everything I needed, including free Wi-Fi. The location was superb, just a 5-minute walk from Deansgate station and opposite the Science and Transport Museum. The friendly and helpful staff made my experience even better.

The hotel was a great find in a convenient and vibrant location near Deansgate and the tram station.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location was fantastic, right by the canal and with plenty of bars and restaurants within walking distance.

The hotel offers a pleasant place to rest your head, with rooms larger than other 'budget' hotels in the area. However, cleanliness issues like dirty carpets and windows, dust, and mold in the bathroom were present due to laundry problems. The service was exceptional, especially at check-in, despite being a 3-star establishment. The location is convenient, with easy access to transportation, but the noise levels can be disruptive at times. The dining experience had a good selection each morning but was a bit disorganized.
