The hotel is a unique building so most rooms will be different shapes and sizes and it's a bit like a labyrinth trying to find your way around! Our room was spacious with a large bathroom. Location is great, very easy access to Manchester city centre and with parking on site. Great for a short stay. Breakfast was ok, the buffet was regularly refreshed but the hotel doesn't serve pork products and there aren't any a la carte options. We would definitely stay again if going to a concert or other event in the city centre.

Comfortable stay and great value. The bathroom stood out – modern and well-finished. The room itself felt a little bare; a few decorative touches, some extra furniture, and a larger TV would make a big difference.
