Some issues.

I really wanted to have breakfast in this hotel but when I booked it on line it said I had to do this at the hotel. The manager disagreed and said it could only be done at time of booking and no breakfast was available. I had a problem with the shower which I informed the hotel about. I also found the entrance to the rear parking extremely tight.

It was ok

I stayed one night on a business trip. Swift check in. Staying in a single room which was adequate but was kept awake by the guest upstairs walking around on creaking floorboards for about half an hour at 4am! Bed was ok but far from the most comfortable I've stayed in (28 nights away in the last 5 weeks so plenty of experience of properties at this price point!) The saving grace was the the property has free parking and is walking distance to a fabulous restaurant (Noir Steakhouse) which is definitely worth a visit. Didn't have breakfast so can't comment on that.

This was my third stay at the Ascott and I will keep coming back whenever I visit my family in Manchester. As an American I very much appreciate the things that make it different from the big hotel chains. It is quiet, it is personal, it is comfortable and to me “very British” which is a good thing. The rooms are all different in style and decor. They are comfortable tho and have all the features and amenities described. The overall feel of the hotel is that of a large comfortable home, not the cookie cutter institutional style of hotel chains. Breakfast is available and served in either a sunny breakfast nook or a larger sitting room. There are several menu choices but I always have the English Breakfast - which is tasty and a satisfying way to start the day. The inn keeper and his team are friendly and welcoming. A few things to keep in mind. Pay attention to the check in hours- it’s a small inn so make sure you check in during the hours noted. Once you have your keys you can come and go as you please. There is off street parking but don’t hog the space - be respectful of the guests who will need to squeeze in after you. If you do want breakfast, reserve it when you make your room reservation - they plan and purchase accordingly so have little flexibility for last minute changes. If you are planning to have a noisy gathering during your stay, you should look elsewhere - this is a place for a quiet rest to prepare for a busy day!

Would stay again

A very comfortable, clean and adequate single room. Only personal bugbear was the guest(s) in the room above mine keeping me awake with stomping around late in the night with the television blaring. (so inconsiderate of other guests).

Can't comment much as really only used it as a bed for the night. The check in is too late though at 4pm and check out very early at 10.30 even though it says 11.00 am on the booking. I think breakfast should be offered as standard, never been to this type of establishment before and no breakfast offered it is for all purposes a B&B, only offered at extra cost. Room was quite pricey anyway for what it was. Heating is centrally controlled and wasnt turned on until a while after I arrived. If you come in late at night room will be cold and turned off promptly in the morning, so make sure that you have had your shower. One night in the room I was in is enough, it did the job for what I required.

We had a lovely quiet room which was what we wanted. The bed was big and comfy and we both slept well although the room was very warm. Check in and out was easy. Parking was safe and easy. We didn't have breakfasts as we had an early hospital appointment so can't comment on the food. Hopefully we will have time for breakfast next time.

The room we stayed in would benefit from curtains that block out the street lights and I found the duvet in our room (22) smelt a tad musty. Otherwise the staff were very pleasant, the room was serviceable, a nice breakfast with good coffee and our experience positive.

Very welcoming hosts in a guest house that has a pleasant old charm to it. The room was adequate but getting slightly worn, a new mattress would certainly help. Breakfast was very nice.
