Took my mum for a treat and for her to reminisce.
wow!! We were not disappointed, it was a fantastic stay.
The Building and architecture is stunning, huge tall ceilings and windows. Beautiful tiles everywhere, elegant dining and meeting rooms.
Our room was fab, two double beds, lovely free snack box, posh teas and coffees.
We loved the 5pm social hour, a chance to mingle with the other guests and an hour of free drinks and snacks.
Breakfast was also great, it was extremely busy as the hotel was fully booked the night before so I did feel the staff were overstretched and there was a wait for fresh eggs and tea / coffee… but hey we were in no rush.
Just beautiful… can’t wait to go again.

Gorgeous rooms with beautiful original features. The social hour offering us a free glass of wine, beer or soft in the bar was a lovely surprise.

The hotel vibe was great. The rooms were a bit basic, but i was mainly there to sleep after my meetings anyways. The bar and restaurant was great too.

Perfect location just outside the Oxford train station. Nice architecture. Clean and well decorated room with amenities with good design.

We love this hotel’s style and design, very beautiful. It’s close to the train station and is in city centre. The room is a bit small than expected, so its a bit overpriced. Just book the normal/ standard room is fine next time i guess.

Wow! This is truly the best hotel in Manchester! Every room is unique. The rooms on the first floor have high ceilings which gives it a grandeur feel. The staff are excellent and really pull the stops out to make your stay here extra special. The complimentary drink to meet other hotel patrons between 5-6pm is a welcomed touch. The food in the Refuge restaurant is of a high standard and I can honestly say that their Sunday Roasts are one of the best I have ever had. Breakfast was also of excellent quality. Sunday evening live jazz in the bar creates a great vibe. What I truly like about this 5* hotel is the atmosphere. Unlike most hotels, this hotel does not have that lifeless clinical feel that the majority of hotels who are catering to business clients. There restaurant and bars are of a quality where you would want to go even if you are not lucky enough to stay in the hotel. I would definitely recommend a stay here.
