Modern hotel in a great location

Beautiful, modern hotel with a very stylish bar and restaurant. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable of the area. The room was very well equipped and the bed was really comfortable. Location of the hotel was brilliant with a tesco over the road to grab snacks and lots of bars a restaurants in walking distance. Ncp carpark is just behind the hotel, and although it’s quite expensive to park there it’s worth it because it’s so convenient. We would definitely stay here again.

Great property and location. Noise from nearby clubs stop at 11pm. Only mark down was that the way the shower is built it floods the entire bathroom floor which was a bit annoying. Staff were attentive and super helpful too.

Stayed here for two nights with my partner at the end of August. Room was lovely, very clean. Wished there were more utensils in the kitchenette (knives, spoons etc.) as we both enjoy cooking. Location was good, and we had easy access to Manchester city centre. The bed was extremely comfortable.

Stylish but hot

The studio looks great and is very well equipped but it got very hot in the loft and the windows barely open. There is a fan but it’s very noisy.

A very bare bones hotel with minimal amenities, no air conditioning, and very bad lighting, which was disappointing for the price. Area is super convenient, but also very loud overnight and in morning due to proximity to Gay Village (partying). Staff were really friendly though.

Great stay!

I stayed in a studio for 2 nights and had a great stay! The room and en-suite were clean and modern and had a lovely rainfall shower and great amenities. I would have loved if there was there was a microwave, but i survived without it! Was very handy being able to cook in the studio and there was a tesco express directly across the road. Staff were very friendly and helpful too! I will say it was an interesting choice to have cobblestones in the entry to the building and at reception, especially when most people would have rolling suitcases with them! I dont think this would be the most accessible place to stay if you have any mobility issues or if youre a wheelchair user. (There were stairs to get to the lift and the cobblestones in the entry of the building would definitely hinder you) Overall a great stay, and i'd definitely come again

Medieval lighting

The apartment was really nice and spacious, a bonus was the large electric fan in the lounge area. The major downfall of this apartment and the reason I would never stay here again is the lighting in the apartment, I have never stayed in a hotel with such dark and dingy lighting. was horrendous, any period of time spent in the room makes you feel like you are staying in a medieval castle. The hotel, room, staff, facilities are excellent but the poor lighting lets the hotel down.
