We absolutely loved staying here, we were here for Manchester marathon and the hotel was just what we needed and more for our stay. Great location, a short walk from Old Trafford where the race started, but also has a tram stop close by to get into the centre. The hotel was so clean and well kept, the staff were so lovely and helpful. Our room was really spacious, clean, great amenities. The breakfast was also probably the best hotel breakfast we’ve ever had, every hotel does similar things as you’d expect, but the food here was hot, perfectly cooked, full of choice and just very delicious. If you’re visiting Manchester I would recommend staying here 100%!!

Friendly staff at check in, spacious room with a perfect view of Manchester. We stayed in a standard room on floor 16. Would highly recommend and stay again!
Great hotel, lovely big clean rooms with comfortable beds, nice toiletries in bathroom, great choice for breakfast and staff were very helpful and friendly. Overall very impressed. Great location definitely would stay again
Yes, clean room with a fridge very comfortable bed & pillows very nice stay, staff in hotel very polite & nice not to much trouble for any of them, Micheal in the bar who served us was really nice, and served us some food
Yes very nice stay 👍
Only downside was the breakfast quality. Due to an incredibly quiet day with hardly any guests the cooked breakfast offerings were not really edible! Hard bacon, concrete fried eggs - basically all sat there for hours. The breakfast staff were lovely and lots of fresh fruit and yoghurt replaced but the cooked was not really an option.

Nice hotel and great location. Exactly what we wanted. Good standard room. Be prepared for a long wait with the lifts at peak times if you are on a higher floor.

Brilliant place to stay. We stayed here for something next door in Dock 10. Staff were lovely breakfast was great.
This is a great hotel for the price. The location is excellent, the staff is warm and friendly, and the breakfast is excellent. Will stay here again for sure!
THE ROOM WAS VERY CLEAN & GOOD FACILITIES.
BREAKFAST WAS VERY GOOD. QUALITY OF PRODUCE GOOD.
EVENING MEAL MENU WAS DISAPPOINTING WOULD HAVE LIKED MORE CHOICE.
OVERALL PLEASED WITH SERVICE & HOTEL.
Couldn’t fault anything about my room,the staff or the hotel in general.Position & surroundings also great,with easy access to the football stadium at Old Trafford.
Fairly standard buffet breakfast, coffee machine wasn’t working but staff member offered to get a drink from another part of the hotel for us. An example of service above and beyond.
