Great place in the city centre! Inexpensive but clean and modern. Check in could be a bit faster and easier but Staff all very nice and helpful. Would stay again!
Great budget option for the center of Manchester. Basic room but everything you really need. Bed was firm and comfortable. Staff were great and check-in was fast. I would recommend for an inexpensive place to crash and enjoy all that Manchester has to offer.
Can’t fault it, especially for the price - conveniently located, room was more than ample. Had to use key card 3 times on way to room so felt quite safe. Surprisingly quiet although it was a Thursday - Would use again
