Close to everything you need, but overall a loud area on the weekends if you are faced out towards Oxford St. but hotel staff was really friendly and the rooms were comfortable.

This is my idea of the perfect hotel. It was beautiful, had so much character and life. The bar and restaurant area seemed to always have something going on and was a fun place to hang out. The room areas were nice and quiet. We barely saw or heard another guest even though it was booked. Staff were always cleaning and everyone was so nice and helpful. Our trip to Manchester was fabulous and staying in this hotel was the best part of a wonderful vacation.

Amazing hotel - can highly recommend it for a special occasion or just a weekend get away. Stayed for 2 nights, and we were taken such good care of. Andrea in the reception gave us a warm welcome and staff in general was very accomodating. Great breakfast, good location and the interior of the hotel is worth a visit by itself. Will definitely come back when returning to Mamchester.
