The service was great, people were clear, kind and welcoming. The location is close to everything in the city centre, the rooms were perfect and its a great place to stay if you are touring the city.

From start to finish, our stay was fabulous! We visited for my husbands birthday and the staff really made us feel special! The concierge were great and looked after my car and luggage for us and offered us water bottles for the way home. Reception brought us cocktails on arrival which was a lovely touch! When we first arrived to our room, there was a very nice treat plate saying ‘happy birthday!’ which was a lovely gesture. The room was clean and the bed was very comfy and spacious. Breakfast was absolutely delightful and the thought that has gone into the theme of the hotel is amazing! Even my toast (which was freshly baked bread!) came in a little ‘money bag’. I think my only ‘issue’.. and I use that term extremely loosely!!.. was the price tags on ornaments and dressing gowns etc… it felt a little gauche for a 5* hotel. Although I completely understand their reasoning behind it because they are fantastic ornaments.. it did make us panic a little and check everything was in the room before we could relax because we didn’t want to be charged for things! The price list in the ‘Gotham bugle’ was probably enough. It also confused us a little as to what was complimentary because the only thing stated as complimentary was water. Overall, we will definitely stay there again! Thank you for an amazing experience.

We loved this hotel. I stayed with my daughter while visiting the university. It’s beautifully done, from the reception, bars and rooms. The staff were great too. A lovely welcome at reception, super waiting staff and especially the valet parking guys who were efficient and really charming. We will definitely stay again and I’m also looking forward to visiting some of their other establishments.

Stayed at the stock exchange for 1 night over the weekend, and had an absolutely fantastic stay! The hotel itself is beautiful, with the history of the hotel maintained in the restoration. The quality of the rooms, and general furnishing throughout the hotel are all very tasteful and of night quality. All of the staff we interacted with were also fantastic and couldn’t help enough We dined at the bull and bear for dinner and breakfast and enjoyed drinks at sterling which were both excellent, and highly recommended. The area where this hotel really excels are the little touches. These little elements such as Champagne and cake on arrival, check in conducted in the comfortable lounge, water provided on departure, umbrellas and shoe horns in the room are some great touches that really set this hotel above others in Manchester. The only element that I was surprised the hotel did not provide was a turn down service. Highly recommend a stay at this hotel.

Amazing long weekend location. Wife and I stayed in a suite, older teen kids in a twin on the same floor. Extra room in suite was perfect for us all to meet and discuss plans, while the Nespresso machine, bathrobes and king size bed were a nice bit of luxury we really needed. Soaps and lotions were top quality, towel heating rack was a nice touch. We added breakfast as an option so we could eat and head out to start the day. Food was excellent, portions generous. A bit too much coconut yogurt but staff held it back as requested. The hotel location is great for exploring Manchester. Vibe in the Piccadilly area was very Chelsea New York - hustle and bustle, lots of college-age kids, all kinds of history, shopping, food, cool bars and transit within a ten minute walk (really liked the Northern Quarter, and the canals around Deansgate) . Most folks were locals, tourists like us in the minority. Dogs welcomed pretty much everywhere and prices were generally very fair. Enjoyed meals at the Waldorf pub, Evuna NQ (tapas), Tarriff and Dale (pizza/burger/cocktails), and Ducie Street Warehouse (Sunday roast), along with afternoon tea and snacks at the Wharf amidst the old canals. Etihad Stadium was a ten minute cab ride and 15 minute tram back after the game; Old Trafford about a 15 minute cab for a midday tour. Most important: the staff was excellent. Front desk staff was helpful with room and requests, Brasserie staff made breakfast pleasant and relaxing (and late-night barkeep helped with buckets of ice and glasses), housekeeping staff respected our do-not-disturb when needed and provided extra coffee, cups, and towels with a smile. Full disclosure - we struggled with a cold room initially (thought we were just tired from flight then realized there was no heat in room); would recommend hotel indicates that if heat is necessary guests can turn up the rad(s) to heat room, easy enough to do with a little sheet of paper. Would love to return to Manchester and if we do the Abode will be where we stay. Maximized our time and money while proving to be a great launching point for everything we wanted to do in the city.

The room was large and clean. It took ten minutes to walk from Old Trafford. It was very convenient.

Brilliant hotel stay at Brewdog. Lovely funky room with everything you needed. Spotless and comfortable. Loved the record player (although ours was broken)and shower bar. All good fun with very attentive, friendly staff. Would stay again 100%.
