The hotel is very well located, in the city centre. We did not enjoy our rooms view, the window is very high and all we could see is a build construction. But it was a nice experience.

The room we stayed has no USB charging in room so recommended to bring your own socket. The flush in toilet needs more time than I expected to refill. Overall ok for a quick one night stay.

The location is perfectly situated between Piccadilly and Oxford Road and Deansgate. Free wine on arrival, staff were lovely and welcoming. The room decor was a little shoddy in places but I didn’t take away from it being a great price, lovely overall hotel and location!

Because I can’t use UnionPay cards and don’t accept cash, the front desk was very nice to help me 😊 apply for a signature guarantee.

Restaurant and food was really lovely, but the check in process and room itself was below average. The decoration is nice in the lobby but in the rooms is a bit tacky unfortunately. We didn’t arrive until about 9pm as we were told it was 24hr check in and there was no one at the front desk when we first arrived so we weren’t sure if we were in the right place. Then once we go checked in eventually we were placed in accessible room (not upon our testers) which meant we had a wet room instead of a bathroom, no bedside table or chairs at the desk in the room.
The bed was comfortable enough for a simple place to sleep and so did the purpose and the breakfast in the morning was so good it almost made up for the rest of the experience.

I’ve no idea how the Alan can claim to be a 4* hotel. I was in a rush to get to a gig when I arrived so ordinarily might have asked to change rooms but my feeling was that this place just isn’t being looked after and all rooms are probably a similar standard. The Alan markets itself to as a quirky hip city hotel but is unloved and really quite soulless.
Pros: Central location (but noisy at night), cool vibes in the lobby, large bedrooms, bathroom products smell amazing.
Cons: The room was grubby. Mildew and black mold in the shower is unforgivable. Large stain on the carpet (my guess is vomit) barely attempted at cleaning off. Walls marked and splashed. Rug placed at the weirdest angle. Only one tea cup (in a double room booked for 2). No biscuits. Old school analogue TV.
I’ve stayed in much better (not to mention cleaner) budget hotels.
Last time I visited Manchester I stayed at the Whitworth Locke which is in a similar price range and similar location but is significantly nicer. I regret trying somewhere new and won’t be back.
