Friendly, chic and great location
I have stayed in this hotel alone and with a friend. The rooms are well equipped with stylish furniture and great little touches like tea, coffee etc. It is 5 minutes walk from the station and right in the thick of all the main shops and the Arndale centre. It also has a Tesco next door so is ideal. The staff are all really friendly and helpful. They have helped me out with booking of taxis and even on where certain shops are. I will definitely stay here in the future.

Fantastic pad and great base in the city
This was a great place to stay in Manchester City Centre, couldn't be more convenient for shopping, bars and nightlife! We were upgraded to one of the penthouses on the 19th floor- the view was amazing and it also meant that city centre noise wasn't a problem. There were 3 double bedrooms, one with a fantastic en-suite, and the apartment had balconies outside all the rooms- these weren't big enough to sit on, but great for just standing out and looking at the view. Highly recommended!

The service we received from the
The service we received from the reception was excellent. The staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. Our apartment was fantastic with great views across the city and a spacious balcony to enjoy them from. Couldn't fault anything.... except our stay was too short!!! The location of the hotel was perfect too with easy access to the shops, MEN and everywhere else.

Excellent location for shopping
We enjoyed our stay in Manchester. We did lots of shopping & the hotel was ideal as it was so close that we were able to pop back to drop bags off & have a cuppa before heading back out! We were disappointed to find no restaurant or bar. Luckily it wasn't far to find restaurants etc. Tesco Express is next door, handy for self catering. Amazing view of the city from the apartment, looked out at it for ages.

overall good stay (large group
overall good stay (large group in 2 apartments) , one of our rooms was not ready upon check in at 3pm even though we were given the keys. However we were then given another room (albeit on a different floor) Any issues we had were resolved fairly quickly. Was not too impressed at 200pound security deposit debits (not pre authorised) - am hoping that goes back on with no issues. Very central location, staff on the whole are really good.

Not what I expected
When we arrived at the hotel we were unaware that we had to leave a £200 deposit until the manager inspected our rooms after check out, although when we did get to the room it was very nice, it was smaller than what we expected, upon checking out and waiting for the room to be inspected the girl on the check out desk could not get hold of the manager and we had to wait til she could get hold of him to have our room inspected before we could get our deposit back and leave, the girl on reception didn't see this as a problem and we were disappointed with our attitude towards us.
