    Beds were very soft for my liking, I prefer firmer. Not many amenities in the room, hardly any furniture. bit run down, could do with an overhaul and redecorate.

    Nice friendly typical city centre pub. Staff were lovely and accommodating. 25% off breakfast at the pub is a nice touch and can highly recommend, it was delicious!

    Noisy (but to be expected as you are over a working pub). We saw what seems to be a bedbug.

    Ease of access anytime. Friendly staff.. Good location.

    Nice pub in a great location, half the price of most other hotels in the same area.

    Food only served Thursday to Sunday. Such a lovely pub: we would have loved to have stayed and eaten at the pub on the days we were there.

    Could not have been more central! Fantastic! Comfortable bed. Great staff! We had a lovely 2 night stay.

    Extremely good value for money. Although the bathroom was shared it was spotless and I didn't see anyone else using it. The staff were super friendly and I stayed on a Thursday and didn't find the room noisy either from the street or the pub.

    1 of the rooms smelt fairly unpleasant the whole stay, even with the window being left open There was 2 tvs in the room but either worked

    Location. Price. The breakfast. The fan in the room.

    I think it would need some decent curtains to make it darker at bedtime.

    The bed was very comfortable and it was great that we only shared the bathroom with one other room.

    The bed was at a low level but comfortable. On departure I had to navigate past some building materials and what appeared to be tiles.

    I received a friendly welcome & was shown to my room promptly. He also explained clearly the facilities, after hours access, etc. The room, bedlinen and towels were clean. I also had a kettle and a small selection of coffee & tea. The TV was large with a range of channels.

    Me and my friend stayed here Thursday night, staff went above and beyond to help us and made sure we got in safely. They were absolutely brilliant. Location was fantastic. We have booked again for Manchester pride in August, it’s deffo value for money.

    The blinds barely block out the light, and they certainly don't help with the noise within or without - obviously I didn't expect it to be silent on a Friday night but by god was it loud.

    Good value for money, polite staff, clean

    No big deal, but it’s always nice to have a bathroom in the room, but it was fine & well kept.

    Sandra was superb. She was so helpful & kind. The whole staff were very pleasant & fun.
