Came to Manchester for a concert and stayed here just for the night. Peter was such a great host. He’s really friendly, considerate and helpful. Obviously not much to do around the area but it’s a good stay for just one night. The rooms are clean but the toilet was just really cold

Me and my friend stayed here for the Comicon at BEC Arena. The hotel was 15 minutes away, which cost about £16 in an Uber. There was parking on the street, and we had no issues finding the address. The landlord is incredibly kind, and super helpful. The landlord truly helped make our stay enjoyable. As well as Adam, the front of house staff. Though me and my friend turned up dressed up as Chucky the Doll, the staff (and the locals) were incredibly friendly and helped us make memories which will last me and my friend a life time. For the pricing, we could not complain at all. Thank you so much for having us, hopefully we will see you again at the next comicon! :) :) :)
