The hotel reception looks fabulous, this is where the money is spent, the rooms are tired, need lots of tlc, i had a stained pillow, a damaged wall panel, damaged wall panels in bathroom, the cups I had need a dishwasher before use. The shower smelt mouldy, I have lost an item, I have emailed 3 times, no response— if it’s just one night and you need sleep, and a wash, it’s will do for a night. Please see photos of lack of cleanliness. I found set of stairs as I like stairs, they led to a locked door… this was not a pleasant stay. The breakfast. Tasteless. Coffee machine broke 3 times, needed cleaning/emptying and filling. I left my coffee in the end as it was not as it very nice. There was milk/ juice — I heard customer complaining about the toaster being slow and old. There was fresh fruit — this was a relief as the cooked stuff was not great. I would avoid this hotel in MCR

Facilities: Small but well-equipped. Cleanliness: The hotel seems to have been open for a while, and some areas like the carpets could use more thorough cleaning. Environment: Great location, about a 10-minute walk from two train stations and Chinatown. Service: The front desk staff was very welcoming and provided detailed information.

The hotel's location is excellent. There's a supermarket downstairs, and it's close to the University of Manchester, the city center, and the train station, which is very convenient. However, the air conditioning doesn't get cold enough, and the duvet isn't breathable, so I woke up hot every day. Also, the drainage in the bathroom was a bit clogged, and there was a bad smell coming from it.

Response from Property: Dear Guest,Many thanks for taking the time to write a review about your latest stay as well as adding some photos of your room that will definitely help future travellers.We are happy that your overall visit met your expectations as you particularly found our central location excellent to explore Manchester and convenient with easy access to its University and train stations.However, we are sorry if the room felt too warm to your liking. As it is clearly explained in our Welcome letter, all our accommodations are equipped with an Air Climate Control system (NOT Air Conditioning) which is centrally controlled and linked to the outside Temperature and will only blow warm or cool air accordingly. When the external Temperature dropped below 18°C, the system automatically switched from cooling to heating mode. We appreciate this may not suit all our guests which is why portable fans or heaters are available upon request.We would also like to apologise for the blocked sink which consequently resulted in an unpleasant smell in your bathroom. Be assured that our Maintenance Engineer has been made aware and has already carried out the necessary repairs but will continue monitoring the situation to prevent a recurrence.Thank you again for sharing both some positive words and your concerns which are invaluable in our on-going efforts to improve the quality of our facilities. We sincerely hope to have the chance to see you back as one of our guests in the future and experience a more enjoyable time with us.Regards,Frederic DumontGeneral Manager

The location is convenient, within walking distance to the city center and Manchester University. Although the room is small, it's fully equipped with a hairdryer and kettle, and there's complimentary coffee and tea. The hotel doesn't have a car park, but the staff were very friendly and explained that there's paid parking next to the hotel. You only need to pay until 8 PM, and then it's free until 8 AM the next morning. Thanks to the hotel staff for their help.

So no issues with the staff down at the reception area at all, doing a smashing job representing the hotel, telling us about the app too upon arrival... check in the hotel earlier with app very cool, very nice, also the reception area is where the big bosses of this hotel choose to spend most of their budget as when you get to the rooms it does show. Cleaning staff - now what are they doing? Because they certainly aren't cleaning the rooms, the room was the dirtiest room I've ever stayed in, windows, bed, bathroom, carpets, i know its a budget hotel but basic levels of hygiene and cleaniness should be a must in a hotel, ive stayed in cheaper hotels and they were cleaner! Needs a refurb in the rooms and big recruitment drive for cleaning staff. Me and my partner had to make the bed before sleeping because we couldn't stomach sleeping on it because of how it was. Area is very loud, traffic, horns beeping, people shouting. On a positive note I did like the shower in the bathroom, the water pressure was excellent and it is in a brilliant location attending gigs and festivals in the area.
Response from Property: Dear HayleyB13,Thank you for taking the time to post a review following your recent visit.While we are happy to hear that you found out Reception Team welcoming & helpful and our central location ideal for attending gigs at the many nearby venues, we are sorry to learn about your disappointment with your bedroom facilities and the shortfall in our cleanliness standards you experienced on this occasion.It is disappointing that your concerns weren't brought to our attention at the time as, had we been made aware, the Team on duty would have happily help and offer some solutions to make your overall stay more comfortable.Nevertheless, please be assured that your feedback and photos have been shared with our Head Housekeeper who will promptly address these issues with the maids in order to prevent re-occurrences.

This hotel is pretty average. The location isn't too far from Oxford Road Station, about a 10-minute walk. The main issue for me was that I was there to watch a football match and couldn't check in early; check-in was only after 3 PM. This really put it behind other hotels, where you can usually check in as soon as you arrive! The room environment was also just okay. There were no tissues provided and no towels either. I'm not sure if they forgot or just don't provide them, but I brought my own anyway, so it wasn't a huge deal.

Response from Property: Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time to share your recent stay. We are deeply sorry to learn that your stay was unsatisfactory. This is mainly because you were unable to use our early check-in service. Please note that early check-in is subject to availability, is not mandatory, and requires an additional £10. We regret that due to the football match you mentioned, the hotel occupancy rate was unusually high, and we were unable to fulfill your early check-in request. We sincerely apologize if you were not satisfied with our facilities. We were very surprised to learn that there were no towels in your bathroom. We sincerely apologize for the oversight of our housekeeping staff. If you had informed us, we would have provided towels promptly. We have also relayed your feedback to the Housekeeping Manager, who will work with the team to handle this matter properly to prevent a similar situation from recurring. Thank you again for your valuable feedback, which is crucial for us to continuously improve our products and services. We sincerely hope you will visit us again in the future and give us a more pleasant stay, thus earning your higher rating. Sincerely, Frederic Dumont General Manager

The hotel's location is excellent, close to two train stations and Manchester University, as well as nearby attractions like the Museum of Science and Industry, which you can reach by free bus. The room size was good, and it was very quiet, with a hairdryer provided. The hot water was great, and the self-service breakfast had plenty of options. They also have a water dispenser for guests to refill their own bottles, which is a nice touch. The front desk staff were very welcoming. Free luggage storage is available. Now for the downsides: Upon check-in, I found the bathroom cleanliness to be an issue. The sink, toilet, and toilet seat weren't clean and had noticeable marks. Everything else was fine. Just to confirm, there were no slippers or toothbrushes provided.

I was very satisfied with my stay, as it was close to the city center, included breakfast, and was very affordable. My flight was cancelled, so I had to book last minute, but the hotel was incredibly helpful. They let me store my luggage before check-in, I ordered room service for dinner, and they even accommodated my request to extend my stay.
