Well positioned. Clean, smart modern room. Friendly staff delivering an excellent service.
You find out only after booking that breakfast starts at 8am. The hotel ignored my email asking if there was an alternative for commuters. You have to wait at a bar until everyone is served to check in (drink people were barging past me). The room was nice but the unclear info on their advert and lack of communication undermines this.

Staff were lovely, really attentive from check in to check out. Bed was really comfortable and had plenty amenities.
Stayed the night before we flew for our holiday, great service when for a drink In the evening friendly bar staff and enjoyable atmosphere, had the breakfast in the morning which was lovely and arrived quickly, we will definitely be returning!
Lovely hidden gem, really central location, good size, modern rooms with very comfy beds. The free breakfast is amazing, so many options freshly made with juices, hot drinks and cereals also available. Would highly recommend to anyone staying in Manchester
Great having a decent boozer just downstairs. Staff attentive and good banter. Very walkable to all the good food and drink on offer in Manchester. Would use again.

Lovely bar / hotel that we have stayed in before however the room let the stay down completely. Definitely not a 'deluxe' room, very basic and awful generator noise from 8am - 10pm
Bed very uncomfortable and lumpy
I stayed here with my daughter as we were going to see Billie Eilish. Although the hotel is a little way out from the coop live arena, public transport links are good.
On arrival we had a lovely warm greating, our room was spacious and clean with a lovely modern ensuite.
Breakfast had a good selection of hot food or cereals. We did have lunch at the bar of 3 small plates between us which was quick to arrive, piping hot and delicious.
I would happily stay again.
Good property. Had everything except a hairdryer in the room. Two bottles of water, coffee machine, kettle and iron provided.
Shower was lovely. Room got hot but there was a fan in the room. No lift but that was no issue for us. Our room was two flights of stairs up.
Breckfast was nice except the bacon that was cooked in a well used pan so looked a bit off putting. Drink prices are good in the pub and no noise heard from the pub itself. Very good position for shops and town.
Charged 15 quid for late checkout despite email saying £10 and leaflet in the room saying £10 but still a good price. Would stay here again.
