Arrived at the hotel tired and ready for bed, only to find the world’s most bizarre room. You enter through the door into a tiny hallway, then climb a steep flight of stairs to reach an attic room where a giant skylight sits directly above the bed—with no working blind.

Rooms are very compact or cosy , they are lovely and clean. Beautiful Hotel, the staff are really nice. The bar tender on Saturday was so chatty. The lady on reception was amazing. The location it perfect, and we got a lovely upgrade. Thanks for the lovely room.

Having stayed in many hotels in Manchester, including the supposed “best” ones, I can confidently say my stay here was leagues above any of them.

I can’t wait to stay there again.

If your looking for the Harry Potter cupboard under the stairs experience look no further, tiny cramped room with AC controls that remain locked so the room was stifling with no way of opening a window. Sound petty but no biscuits to have with a morning brew, thi...
