Lovely bar / hotel that we have stayed in before however the room let the stay down completely. Definitely not a 'deluxe' room, very basic and awful generator noise from 8am - 10pm Bed very uncomfortable and lumpy

Perfect

I stayed here with my daughter as we were going to see Billie Eilish. Although the hotel is a little way out from the coop live arena, public transport links are good. On arrival we had a lovely warm greating, our room was spacious and clean with a lovely modern ensuite. Breakfast had a good selection of hot food or cereals. We did have lunch at the bar of 3 small plates between us which was quick to arrive, piping hot and delicious. I would happily stay again.

Good property. Had everything except a hairdryer in the room. Two bottles of water, coffee machine, kettle and iron provided. Shower was lovely. Room got hot but there was a fan in the room. No lift but that was no issue for us. Our room was two flights of stairs up. Breckfast was nice except the bacon that was cooked in a well used pan so looked a bit off putting. Drink prices are good in the pub and no noise heard from the pub itself. Very good position for shops and town. Charged 15 quid for late checkout despite email saying £10 and leaflet in the room saying £10 but still a good price. Would stay here again.

Well worth a stay

This is a pub/hotel just on the outskirts of the city centre, just a five minute walk to the Arndale Centre, I really do mean a 5 min walk as I have a false knee, breakfast is excellent and for £2 you can go large, there is a menu for evening which is very nice, and being a pub plenty to drink at proper prices, rooms are clean and well serviced and have all you need, I didn’t need to pack an iron, there is no air con but a big fan which was ample, shower and amenities excellent, I’d use this place again if it was just for the breakfast.
