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.

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.
