Liked: Staff & service
I booked for one night in order to attend the final home match of the football season at the Ethiad. The location is right on Piccadilly Gardens and close to the tram to the stadium. The staff team were pleasant and quick, and the reception and lounge have refurbished nicely. I paid £150 for one night (Springsteen and Kylie were also in town) so surge pricing came into play. But my twin bedded room was not great value. My room had no windows (as advertised) so that made it look dingy. But it was generally tired and in need of refurbishment. Only two power plugs one with a fan plugged in (no a/c) and one for the TV, the internet was sporadic and stopped working on my PC (but was fine on my iPad) carpets worn, only two lights in the room meant that everything felt average. If I compare it to a premier Inn as a benchmark this was far below that. If I had paid only £75 for this - it probably would have got an extra star for value- but this was distinctly just “ok”. If I was desperate I would consider staying again but it won’t be top of my list of choices.

Convenient for pretty much everything. Slap bang in the city centre, but also a short walk to Manchester Piccadilly station, ie a great base. Staff were excellent, price was good and a great breakfast, particularly the cooked English. The premises were clean though are a bit tired tbh. It could do with a bit of a renovation tbh. Other than that all good

Unpleasant

Probably one of the worst hotels I have ever stayed in. The entrance was run down and unwelcoming although better once at reception area. We were met by a miserable receptionist who clearly dislikes her job. The receptionist on check out was more cheerful and the cleaner was friendly when we left. The room was small, tired and dated. The wall paper was lifting from the wall. The carpets were dirty as were the windows. There was a pair of knickers left on the floor by the previous guest. I dreaded going back to the room after an evening out. I was worried the sheets would not be clean but they seemed clean and the bed was relatively comfortable although my husband thought it uncomfortable. We didn't bother with breakfast after reading other reviews. At least it was warm when coming in at night when it was cold outside. We will not return again.

Comfy but noisy

Booked the hotel for 2 nights for a great price and got great value for money. When the radiator was stuck in the on position on the first night, they lent me a fan and it was remedied the next morning. My only criticism was the noise from vehicles & deliveries throughout the early hours outside that was loud even through closed windows, but the hotel & staff really good
