This was an adequate hotel, very small room, fine for one person as I was, terrible if you're a couple. No real place for luggage because I wasn't lifting it over the bed to get to the unit, so it sat tucked in between the bed and the wall. Rooms really need updated but were clean and fine for a place near the station and O2 Apollo stadium to lay your head. Would I stay again? Probably not. Breakfast was good. Despite advertising late night pizza, that was not a thing when I asked about food late in the evening. They do have a mini snack station to get crisps and sweets, so my dinner was a packet of crisps! Oh well. For what it was it was fine, but I would opt for the ibis round the corner given the choice. This hotel could be a wee gem but the small rooms, poor maintenance and dated decor let's it down. Staff were nice to their credit. There are no shops nearby that I saw on my walk to the stadium unless you head back up to the train station (5-10 minutes walk) but as I only stayed one night there may have been one I just had not discovered yet. Overall, average but did the job.

The room was clean, rest of hotel was not up to standard, corridors and front area unkempt and untidy. The area felt unlit and unsafe outside.

A disappointing experience overall. I had attended the hotel for a couple of days conferences previously which were good and so I thought I'd stay overnight to see what it was like. Positives - Food was average or ok, comfortable bed and generally clean housekeeping. Pendulum centrepiece is interesting from a historical perspective. Negatives - poor value for money, disorganisation of hotel, some of the staff were rude / unprofessional / inappropriate, flimsy shower rail in the bathroom, decor needs some care and attention. Room manager was helpful however and compensated me with a free lunch for issues with the check in and poor customer service while I was there. Unfortunately let down by the rest of the team. There are plenty of other much better hotels in Manchester and I will be avoiding this one in future.

Lovely hotel to stay in. Reasonably priced & great offers (free drink & discount for next stay). Lovely design, clean room, nice breakfast & friendly helpful staff. Close to city centre and bus & tram centre to any other part of town. Train station to airport only 10 mins away. Would definitely stay there again.

We paid £160 for a night in a room that we would normally expect to pay around £80 for. The room was small, the bed very small, the decor tired with a view over a derelict car park and really noisy, we could clearly hear the guy in the next room cleaning his throat and then spitting, not really what you want to be woken to at 7am. The selection of tea and coffee was poor, again for this price we would expect more choice. On the plus side, the shower was nice and powerful with plenty of hot water but we were given only one set of towels between the 2 of us (they were nice thick towels)

Tired dated room, extremely small. Double bed was broken which prompted us to look at the mattress which was stained and filthy. The noise from other guests ( doors slamming ) was horrendous. We stayed for 2 hours and promptly booked somewhere else

This promises so much & delivers so little. Reception staff were pleasant. The pendulum was interesting. The food was mainly fried & not in a good way. Mattresses were soft but towels were clean and the room did have tea & coffee making facilities. Will not be staying again but you want basic no frills, this is the place. Be wary of the black table cloths at breakfast.

It was a last minute booking and for 5he location and price I was looking for it ticked all the boxes - between station and The Apollo. So much so I've booked for my next trip to Mancester visiting The Academy 2. Breakfast was great too. Hot or cold lots to choose from. Just two things - the whole building looked a little bit dated but was clean from what I could see with all the necessary facilities. Also, I struggled to enter the room with the key card but that may just have been me!

Room was basic, but nice enough, The mattress was very thin though, so much so that you could feel the bed frame below when sitting or lying on it. Location was good, only a short walk from Oxford road station.
