Being very picky - the shower was like a locker room shower, in that, you had to press the button every ten seconds to keep the water going. Not a huge issue, I just have long hair so it took a while to wash it!

Very central location, lovely helpful staff and was able to check-in very late. Room was lovely and clean and the bed was comfortable. The room was a little outdated with a few cracks and bumps but this was just due to the building being so old (200+ years). All in all, for the price, I would recommend staying here if you're looking for a one or two night stop over in MCR.

A little worried about the crooked, sloping and bumpy floors. There should be something lto let guests know the reason for this and a guarantee that it is safe.

Hotel staff were pleasant and helpful. Location was excellent. Relatively clean. Lots of character to the building. Close to Manchester Victoria train station. Beds were fine. Located in the old part of Manchester, which has a lot of history.

A lot of stairs to the hotel. Had to ask pub staff how to enter the hotel and we had to traipse through the pub to the hotel.

Included breakfast was amazing. Beds were comfortable. Shared bathroom was very clean.

My room was overlooking a small square with cafes/ bars so it was quite noisy even with the windows closed. The room was dirty in that it had a layer of dust on the paneling and old trash behind the bed. The carpet everywhere looked very dirty, and I didn’t go anywhere without my shoes on - not even from the bed to the bedroom. The room only had two electrical outlets and they were located by the floor between a window and a radiator - so I spent most of my time sitting on the floor on a plaid when trying to charge my phone at night, while simultaneously using it.

Right next to Manchester Cathedral, AO Arena and Arndale shopping center. My room had two windows that could open a bit, and a nice big bathtub.

Stairs and banisters were a bit sticky🙁

Excellent breakfast, especially when the staff didn’t blink when I asked for the “large”.

Very nice and friendly staff.

The sink would clog !!! and the shower was a bit rusty.

PERFECT location. Victoria Station is nearby. You have lots of cafés and grocery places nearby as well. In the heart of the city centre.

The shower head needed holding throughout the shower as it just kept falling down! Few stray hairs dotted around the bathroom.

Great location!! Staff are really friendly throughout, and the bedroom is brilliant, great size and nicely decorated. Nice to have a fan! We would return without a doubt.

Breakfast service was quite slow , waited over an hour for breakfast.

Great central location and good pub which met our needs well.

Nothing to dislike really.

Cheap, cheerful and clean and excellent location next to the cathedral. Not too noisy either.

The hotel is also a pub and it's close to another pub so the area is very noisy all the time. The building is beautiful but very old: quite impossible open a window, the room wad very very small, and more I didn't understand the problem with the toilet because it makes weird noise when you use it, even whashing the hands cause a terrible noise coming from nowhere.

The position is exceptional if you book a room facing the cathedral and it's also 5 minutes walk from Victoria station. All around there are pubs and restaurants. I appreciate the english breakfast that you have to pay separately anyway it's not expensive.

Some things are a little tired

Ideal location. Very quirky rooms as the building is so old. Great value for money for a family of four. It is the center of the bar district so expect some noise. Nothing unreasonable for where it is.

The place floorboard was uneven. it's old and ground floor is a pub and smell of alcohol.

Location and staff we nice

Excellent location, clean rooms, friendly staff, lovely view over the cathedral.

Narrow stairs. No lift. The building is about 200 of year old. The windows are not double glazed therefore, noises from the outside can be heard.

The location and affordability. It is located at the city centre itself. Cleanliness.

Stayed in August 2025

Bathroom was not clean. There razor caps and hairs which were probably leftovers of the previous guest. 😏

Location was helpful to access city center and my place of work

Stayed in August 2025

The windows were difficult to open, and the fan was a little less than adequate for cooling the room.

I loved the location and being within walking distance of the train station. The bed was great too! Cleaning service was great!

Everything was as described

Location. Above a nice pub, with good breakfast, which was included in the price, for guests in the morning. Friendly staff.

The family room was not at all like advertised. The photos of the family room advertised show a separate bedroom with a double bed. However, we got a small room with a double & 2 singles. We asked to change rooms, but the room which does have a separate bedroom was already taken. We had to move the beds around to suit. We found old ear plugs, chocolate wrappers and an unused (thankfully) sanitary towel under one of the beds.

Amazing location. Staff were all great!

The doors are heavy and tend to slam if you're not careful. There was a support beam for the roof that was quite low and was a bit of a hazard for my tall partner. The room unfortunately smelled of wet dog so an air freshener would've been a nice addition to the room.

I liked the architecture of the building. The toilet and shower was clean even with it being shared.
