The hotel is great. That said, the location is a double edged sword. It is in the heart of the gay district, which is amazing as it’s alive and buzzing with people. With that comes late night clubbing and the music coming through the building is incredibly disruptive. We didn’t get to sleep until 4 AM due to the noise from the nearby nightclubs.Book with caution!

Hotel was lovely with many quirky features in public areas and the room. Loved the air conditioning. Friendly staff who very helpful. Understood hotel is reasonably old so wheelchair access was to the rear of the building but exterior was in a graffiti street which felt a bit unsafe. Front of hotel was bright and lively.

Fantastic location. Very close to Manchester Piccadilly train station. Gay Village area of Manchester. Professional reception staff. Helpful with directions. Beautiful accommodation. Very clean room and bathroom. Toiletries provided. We had an early start in the morning and they provided breakfast in a bag delivered to our room as requested to take on the train. Great variety of items too. Will definitely be returning.

Damp & dated.

Its really really dated and the condition is sub par. The edges of the room look like they need a good hoover. Everywhere needs a lick of paint and a good spruce. Room smelt damp too. No amount of a shiny reception and cheap glass of prosecco is going to help. Make the rooms the same standard as the reception area. Disappointing!
