This a nice hotel, very clean and with decent rooms. My bed was just worn out, soft and spongy and uncomfortable. The breakfast was the usual HIE fare - acceptable is the best you can say rally. Staff were very pleasant and very helpful. Would go back but not to the room I was in so that I might get... More

What a great example of how cheap doesnt have to be cheap. The HI brand have really got their act together here. very friendly check in service was a great start and the room was superb. Great space, great shower and lots of desk space if you need it. Lots of restaurants and bars near by and walking distance from... More

Comfortable stay, relatively cheap, ideal location, easy access to public transportation, friendly, service-minded . However, only limited items for breakfast. Walking distance to the market and business centres and important museums: Manchester museum, Museum of Science and Industry and so on

Stayed here for 5 days in May. We got to our hotel at 9 and the rooms were not ready yet. They tagged our bags and held them for us while we went on an excursion. When we got back, all was ready and they even asked if we wanted any changes to our room, which we did and they... More

The hotel is well positioned for Oxford Road railway station which is an easy connection to Picadilly. A couple of minor niggles. Flashing LED on the in room smoke detector kept catching my... More

I spent one night here just before Christmas and the service was unquestionably excellent. I arrived at 11.45 and the room was available but I asked the receptionist if the room was at the rear as I wanted to be away from the main road. Shen told me the hotel was full but she would see if she could move... More

Booked a 1 night stay for a concert at The Ritz (which is just round the corner) and found the hotel to be very convenient - it can be seen from Oxford Road station - and comfortable. Bathroom was immaculate, nice large shower. The breakfast was better than expected, with a choice of coffees & teas, scrambled eggs, baked beans,... More

Just stopped for one night and chose based on proximity to the University Academy. Very pleasant, helpful staff and a choice of which floor we would like to stay on. Rooms are perfectly adequate although ours had a couple of small faults we fed back on before we left as it wasn't anything which ruined our stay. Security is good... More

Just returned after a 5 night stay in a group of 3 (2 adults and 1 child) For the price paid I can only rate this as excellent ! Location on door step to Oxford Road Station with direct connection to and from Manchester Airport and a 5 mins Walt to Piccadilly / Arndale Center.. Tram (nearest St. Peters Square)... More
