We arrived to the desk representative with a terrible attitude. After that unpleasant interaction, she gave us a room on the 6th floor that required climbing two flights of stairs with all of our luggage. We asked for a room off the elevator, and were accommodated on the first floor. All the other staff were lovely.

Not so Executive Room.

The room on the surface looked amazing, room 202. It was an "Executive Room" and yet they still sent a message to get me to pay 20 quid for an upgrade, which you can't as it's the top room already. Then you pay on arrival the Manchester tax, oh and front forget your iD !! The more I looked at the room itself, the more faults I found. Lightbulb out Bedhead falling off Cracked windows The only opening window wouldn't shut Weed smokers outside the front of the hotel Lift smelt of weed to ...Really quite poor indeed.

This hotel is noisy! If it’s not guests slamming the doors, people having loud conversations in the corridor its the noise from the street below that the windows fail to keep out. I had a twin room to share and the space is tight. The temperature gauge in the bathroom allows you to freeze or scald yourself, the toilet screams when you flush, only one plug socket worked which meant no access to kettle as thats the plug socket that didn’t work. The beds are soggy and the carpets wasn’t cleaned between my check in and last guest leaving. Reception staff were efficient and helpful, they really were the only plus point of this dated hotel that had a stale smell. Access to Manchester Piccadilly station is great, its around 5-10 mins walk and fab location for going out in Central Manchester. Piccadilly Gardens isn’t for the feint hearted after dark, But no issues during the day

Would not stay here again

Well located on Picadilly, but the room was very dated and shabby and really needs refreshing. The whole place was not well maintained and felt unkempt. The carpet and sofa had stains all over see pics and kept my socks on. It was very hot with little air flow and no air con so didnt sleep well at all. There was a plug in oil heater so assume the radiator doesn't work. Filthy windows. Expensive for what it was. I would not choose to stay here again. Also could hear everything from the neighbouring room, including a man vomitting very loudly in the morning. Not a pleasant experience.

You get what you pay for, the hotel is not updated but it’s good central location near the bus and trains. The ally can be noisy and we had troubles with people yelling around 7am in the hall. Our door also didn’t shut on its own, it wasn’t latched when we got there which was a huge concern and something we constantly had to triple check.

Convenient location for my stay, near Piccadilly station, in need of a major refurbishment, rooms and corridors dated, advising anyone who wants to stay in summer NOT to choose a room with no windows (very hot, but fans are provided), lovely staff.
