Rooms dated and tired looking. Mattress very small for 2 people and pillows not very good. Not enough plug sockets by bed, only one available. Hot breakfast offering very poor, only egg choice is scrambled which was bland and tasteless, bacon and sausage were so overcooked you couldn't cut them with a knife.

Breakfast was great, maybe more options or switching it on a daily basis would make it amazing. I noticed the cups weren't always cleaning properly. The room was great some more amenities like a mini fridge or microwave would make it way better. The sound proof room i felt was not great i can hear everyone in the hallway and the people in the room across from me.

Great hotel, located in the city center, which has excellent room, friendly staff and even free breakfast. I stayed here with my daughter, and it was really the perfect location. The front desk staff and housekeeping staff were excellent. The breakfast wasn't just muffins and biscuits and fruit, it was a full hot English breakfast with eggs, bacon, sausage, beans, tomatoes, hash browns, breads and jams, plus cereals and hot coffee and tea. Highly recommended in downtown Manchester!
