I booked this hotel on the strength of both previous reviews and the hotel's location, just 10 minutes walk from the Palace theatre where we were to see Phantom of the Opera. I also thought the room rates were perfectly reasonable for the style of hotel. The room was very spacious and comfortable and had all the nice touches mentioned... More

We can across this hotel by chance and its the best boutique hotel we have ever stayed in. The attention to detail is second to none, from the minute you arrive you are made so welcome, nothing is too much trouble, sweeties on reception desk, the little yellow duckie (which we will take on our travels for the facebook piccies),...

Well, this weekend was booked for my other half's Birthday. The hotel is lovely, we spent two nights here. From the moment you arrive to the moment you leave nothing seems to be too much for the friendly staff! We parked in the NCP car park on Chorlton St, which is 2 streets away from Canal St. If you park... More

This hotel is an absolute gem! Reception staff were friendly and helpful and we were made to feel welcome from the moment we arrived, with coffee and cookies brought to the room. All the rooms are individually decorated and furnished and the one we had was beautiful and very gothic in style. Food in the restaurant was great and the... More

We stayed here for one night and it was well worth it. Lovely staff, beautiful room with fab decor, supremely comfortable bed... All the little things were catered for including nice organic toiletries in the bathroom, a great shower and fresh milk and biscuits delivered to our room for tea and coffee when we checked in. We didn't have breakfast... More

Fully agree with the majority of the reviews on TA - the service was exceptional, the room was stunning and the attention to detail made us feel truly special during our stay. We were a little aprehensive when booking as due to being a last minute decision the only room available was directly above the bar (room 14) and a... More

I picked this hotel on the strength of its Trip Advisor ranking. Clearly it had a lot to live up to and it delivered. This not the best hotel I have stayed in but it is pretty close. Everything worked, with lots of nice touches, like fresh fruit, milk and ice with the turn down service. Rooms are a good... More

I had read on TripAdvisor that the Velvet was rated #3 in Manchester and convinced my husband we should give it a go. We were both SO pleased with our choice. I had read that parking was easily accessible, and it was. I had also read that complimentary tea arrived within moments of arrival, and it did and what a... More
