    We couldn’t find the earplugs or slippers but that didn’t bother us. Just letting you know though

    The bed was very comfortable. We enjoyed our breakfast delivered to our room. We were pleasantly surprised with our freebies proseccos and milk and cookies.

    The shower was bad, going from cold to boiling hot without touching anything. The breakfast was small and the 'freshly squeezed orange juice' wasn't fresh but concentrate.

    The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful

    Everything, the attention to details from check in to check out and everything else in between was impeccable. Great service, the staff cannot do enough for you and all with smiles on their faces. Has that cosy feeling, like you're a well cared for guest in someone's house.

    It was a little cramped manovering in the bathroom with the doors.

    It was cosy and comfy. We had the banana and chocolate sauce waffle for breakfast which was absolutely fantastic. Really enjoyed our stay.

    The hotel is super quiet. We didn't hear any other guests or staff, even when our room was on the ground floor next to the lobby. It was very peaceful... until the morning.. We were woken up by the bin lorries and street cleaners very early in the morning, I suppose this can be expected when staying in the city centre and it is of course out of the hotels control.. but it may be something to consider if an undisturbed sleep is one of your priorities! Nevertheless we still had a lovely morning in bed until check out at 11am. It was also very hot in our room, but to be fair, we didn't ask reception for a fan, and I'm sure the staff who were very attentive, would of sorted one for us if we did ask.

    Stayed one night, We loved how close the hotel was to everything,, there is plenty of bars, restaurants and the Arndale Center within a short walking distance..Parking available across the road, Check in was very smooth, we dropped out bags off early and returned after 3pm when our room was ready. Our bags were already in our room waiting for us. The hotel was extremely clean, everything looked new and was beautifully furnished. The hotel offers some very nice touches that were included in the booking... such as prosecco on arrival, cookies and hot chocolate in the evening, and Breakfast.. We had our breakfast delivered to our room in the morning which was very nice! I had a small cheese omelette, a coffee and banana. There is a few choices to have. A nice touch. Our room on the whole was lovely! although the room itself was rather small, it had a spacious bathroom with a nice walk-in shower. All the fittings, lights, and furnishings do make it feel very high end. Everything was extremely clean. The room has everything you need, Bluetooth speaker, hairdryer, television, bottled water.. It was all on point! 9.5/10

    Room and bathroom were on the small side. No wardrobe and nowhere really to eat breakfast comfortably. Presented to your room on a tray but no where to eat it just on the bed.

    Location was ideal for our needs for a family wedding. The staff made the stay so enjoyable. Very helpful and accommodating. The room was very stylish and exceptionally clean. Close to the station, shops and the wedding venue. Breakfast was presented well and very tasty.

    Room was in basement and there was some noise overhead from people walking around - we were possibly under the hotel bar. Would request an upper room next time if possible. Room was very cosy but still beautiful.

    Beautiful hotel and very attentive staff. Breakfast brought to our room which was lovely. Small lounge area on our floor if we didn't want to stay in your room with hot drinks available. Very good location and easy walk to Co-op live.

    Our bedroom was slightly smaller than expected, but that wasn’t an issue.

    The decor is absolutely stunning! Every aspect of the hotel has clearly been thought out, from the hair styling tools, to the complementary breakfast in bed delivered at your time of choice. My friend and I (both young women) felt so comfortable and pleased to have stayed. It is environmentally conscious, stylish, and welcoming. Also, they have a coffee machine downstairs with various types of tea and hot chocolate too!

    The room looked beautiful however it was not the most functional due to the size. Unfortunately because of the small bathroom and the design of the doors, they couldn’t stay closed, lock or open properly (blocked by the toilet) - overall a bit awkward for non couples.

    Excellent location and a beautiful rustic vibe, fitting for the Northern Quarter of Manchester. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful throughout our stay. A bit on the pricier side compared to other hotels within the city, however there’s plenty of complementary items that come with the stay such as prosecco, hot drinks, breakfast etc Free WiFi and Netflix on the TV were a nice bonus. Overall a nice hotel for a special occasion and would personally stay again

    Outside noise but cant be helped, and hotel provided ear plugs which worked a treat.

    Everything! The staff were so welcoming and made us feel at home, Orson was so relaxed and had a good chat with us, accommodated us as best as he could! The design of the hotel was stunning, ao much thought had gone into each detail.
