This was my second time staying at the hotel, and it was special, thanks to Robert and Chloe at the restaurant. I had a wonderful dining experience! Robert provided exceptional service during dinner – he was attentive and made the evening special.

Great welcome at reception which set a lovely tone! Andrea was brilliant!! Sadly it went downhill from there with keys that didn't work, a bar that shut at 11pm (early for residents) and very dirty toilets. Check out was great so the team at the entrance get all the credit.

The location is very good as well, right on Piccadilly Gardens, so g...

The service was top notch though! Lewis in the restaurant/bar area was very helpful and gave a 5* service! All in all not a bad stay if you are only spending a day or two in Manchester. The location is also very good. A short distanc...
