Fast internet, friendly staff, nearby shops, a desk in the room, and free (but very slow) laundry facilities. The TVs unfortunately seem to have screen mirroring disabled. Overall, this was a great hotel and very convenient for my needs.

A lot of stains on the carpets and a weird fusty smell. The room was lovely, but definitely didn't match the pictures. Staff were very kind and helpful, also has a little shop in the lobby which was really useful! Not sure about the shops, but there are a lot of options on uber eats. Also a very short walk to aviva studios! Great for concert goers if you don't mind the weird smell.

I’ve stayed at The Ainscow a few times now and will be doing more so in the future. Staff are really helpful. Especially Ethan ( night manager) who goes out of his way to help every guest. Always cheerful. Good clean rooms and excellent for location. Very near to town centre and train/ bus stations. Would definitely recommend to anyone for a great stay .
