Architecture and interior design stunning. Staff lovely, beds comfortable. The bar is lively on a Saturday night but lots of drinks options and great atmosphere. Only slight disappointment is that we didn't see the famous ghosts, but perhaps that's a good thing.

This is my idea of the perfect hotel. It was beautiful, had so much character and life. The bar and restaurant area seemed to always have something going on and was a fun place to hang out. The room areas were nice and quiet. We barely saw or heard another guest even though it was booked. Staff were always cleaning and everyone was so nice and helpful. Our trip to Manchester was fabulous and staying in this hotel was the best part of a wonderful vacation.
