Everything very good, location
Everything very good, location is directly at Chinatown. About 10-15 min walking distance to Picadilly Gardens. The only thing that i dont like is that they charge internet access extra, its 10 pounds for a 24 hour access. Internet access should be free of charge nowadays....

This is one of the best places
This is one of the best places I have ever stayed. It is in a really lovely part of Manchester, surrounded by beautiful historical looking buildings. They let me check in at 7am and upgraded my room at no extra cost (which I really appreciated after travelling for over 25 hours). The room is stylish and modern with everything you need. Room service is well priced. I wouldn't recommend staying anywhere else, especially if you can get one of their good internet special rates.

We had a lovely stay at this hotel.
We had a lovely stay at this hotel. We were amazed with how comfy the bed was!!!...friendly staff, lovely room, great location in the city of manchester where we were able to greet the nightlife in the evening, and then when back at the hotel, as it is located away from the noise, we were able to get a good nights sleep. Thank you for a great stay!!

This was a great location and
This was a great location and staff were friendly and welcoming. We did order breakfast room service though that failed to arrive on time . When this finally arrived the waitress admitted she had just forgotten the order. Yes a good honest reply but not very helpful when you're hungry and in a hurry! However we would stay here again but probably miss the room service out next time!

Service was very good with advice
Service was very good with advice on where to go out (bars) & for nice breakfasts. Staff provided bath robes free of charge even though the room did not come with it. I got an ice bucket & champagne flutes direct from the bar - this meant was not charged room service. Staff were v. willing to help & give advice. The room was generally well presented, if a little dark, but the bathroom was quite bright & spacious with a big bath. It was not a 'power' shower though. Cups were not cleaned after use & there was no iron in the cupboard as stated. The air conditioning was a bit random (so the room was very hot) & dont put your room no. in the t.v. front page as you will get charged for movies even if you dont watch any. Read instructions carefully. However, this was rectified (I hope) on checking out. The location was good (central) & there is free parking on a sunday directly outside the hotel (if you can get a space). It's quite complicated to find the NCP car park from the hotel.
