Decent stay. The cleanliness was solid—rooms and common areas were well-maintained. Amenities were standard, nothing extraordinary but functional. Service was good. Decent breakfast choices!

The hotel is in a great location for anyone visiting the AO arena, within easy walking distance of the arena, the Printworks, and the Arndale centre. Nice clean room and bathroom. Breakfast is good and included in the price, however, it gets very busy at peak times.
Overall experience was very good. Staying in this hotel several times since 2017 and this hotel is my first choice when I am in Manchester.

The hotel was nice and central. Breakfast was lovely and had many options, we enjoyed the coffee and tea varieties too.
One downside was the noise. It was a bit noisy when people walked by the room
