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.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. However, they are not flexible with early check-in and charge extra for it, but they do allow you to leave your luggage. The room was very clean and spacious. We were very satisfied.

Response from Property: Değerli Misafirimiz,Son konaklamanızla ilgili düşüncelerinizi paylaşmak için zaman ayırdığınız için çok teşekkür ederiz.Ekibimizin güler yüzlü ve yardımsever, tesislerimizin temiz ve geniş olduğunu belirterek, genel deneyiminizden memnun kaldığınızı öğrenmekten çok mutluyuz.Erken giriş talebinizle ilgili hayal kırıklığınızı not aldık. Ne yazık ki, bu her zaman müsaitliğe bağlıdır ve küçük bir ek ücrete tabidir. Ancak, belirttiğiniz gibi, misafirler bagajlarını bizde bırakabilir ve standart giriş saati olan 15:00'ten sonra geri dönebilirler.Tüm değerli yorumlarınız için tekrar teşekkür ederiz ve gelecekte sizi daha da keyifli bir ziyaret için tekrar ağırlama fırsatımız olmasını ve bize mükemmel bir puan kazandırmayı umuyoruz.Saygılarımızla,Frederic DumontGeneral Manager

The facilities, hygiene, environment, and transportation are all good. The male staff at the front desk was also very nice. However, the female cleaning staff had a terrible attitude.

A cozy place in the metropolitan and universities surrounding area, close to Manchester Oxford Street and small shops around there too.
Easy assess to go into the city center by train and buses. Reasonable prices for travelers and budget savings as well.

Nice clean room, big bed and comfortable. Lovely hot shower. The thing i didn't like is the tax you have to pay at the hotel. It seems its Manchester wide. It should be added to the total and not extra. Its not much money but I only bought cash and they only take card. Paid in cash but it would be easier all round added. Where the cash went i dont know as its a card only hotel... however I'd stay again .
Response from Property: Dear Guest,Thank you very much for taking the time to review your latest stay with mostly positive comments.Your Perfect score surely proves that you enjoyed your time with us as you found our facilities clean, our beds comfortable, our shower hot.We have noted your disappointment with the City Visitor Tax charged on arrival and your annoyance with the hotel cashless policy. Both measures have been in place for more than 2 years and we apologise for the inconvenience it caused.Despite those, we are please to know that you'd happily return and we look forward to having you back soon as one of our guests.Regards,Frederic DumontGeneral Manager

The hotel located in a strategic locations, near to Chinatown and not far away from the tram station and Piccadilly train station. Friendly staff, easy check-in and check-out procedure, basic hotel room. The only negative point was my sleep was a bit distracted by the noisy and shouting sound from the roadside during the night but overall I have a descent stayed in the hotel and it's value for money,
Response from Property: Dear JW80,Thank you very much for writing some comments following your recent stay.We are happy to know that your overall visit felt good value for money as you found our strategic central location convenient to explore Manchester, our Team friendly, our facilities up to your needs.We are sorry to hear about the sleep disturbance you experienced, caused by the outside noise. All our rooms are fitted with double glazed windows and complimentary ear plugs are also available at Reception. Sadly, those weren't sufficient to you on this occasion.Note that some of our accommodations are facing the back of our hotel and tend to be quieter but, as their availability is limited, we would suggest guests to ask for them prior to arrival so they can be pre-allocated in advance.We hope that we'll have the chance to welcoming you back in the future for a more peaceful time as we'll do everything we can to earn us your Perfect score.Regards,Frederic DumontGeneral Manager
