Location very central, and room was quirky and cool. Staff attentive. I'd say a bit pricey for a lack of amenities but that seemed to be the going rate for most hotels across those days

The Velvet is pure class top to bottom. Rooms are immaculate and it situated in the gay village and super close to Manchester Piccadilly. The staff are so helpful and caring. They really looked after me. I love the Velvet hotel, I'm going to stay there again next year.

In the heart of the gay village, this was the perfect location for my visit. A safe and walkable to so many areas of the city. A vibrant nightlife just outside the door, yet my room was so quiet you wouldn't know it.

Amazing location and very welcoming staff. No issues with noise on the back side of the hotel and I loved the gorgeous large room with a glass canopy (complete with very functional shades). Only drawbacks were 1) the WiFi was rather weak and 2) the room could have used a bit more of a gay touch to the bathroom amenities (wink)

The room was clean and bed was comfy . Well stocked bar fridge . Very quiet except if you stay Saturday night as it’s on a street with night life but didn’t make sleeping difficult. We enjoyed our stay . It’s close to lots of great restaurants in walking distance and also 10 minute walk from train and tram station

Our room was wonderful, big, plenty of room for everybody. The staff were wonderful, very happy to give us directions and a print out of the restaurants near us. Very easy to walk to shopping and China town. I have just one complaint… Saturday night the music was so loud it was hard to sleep. We did talk to the check in desk about the music. He did tell us it was not the hotel but the next bar to us. We do understand the Velvet hotel has no control over the music. However Sunday it was very good.
