I treated my husband and myself to a stay at the Renaissance for his Birthday in May and a meal in Manchester. The hotel is lovely, the ladies on reception were very nice, friendly and helpful. From the outside I think it looks a bit drab, but really very nice when you walk in. We stayed on the 8th floor,... More

All the staff here are helpful and will do anything for you. The room I had was a little tired and in need of some tlc - as was I after spending a night in a room next to the lift shaft! I believe this hotel is due for renovation or rebuilding as the current lease ends at the end... More

Location is excellent, especially if you love to shop. Walking distance to nearly everything in manchester and cooler districts too.

I stayed here for a weekend (business) in April. It's OK. Manchester is not over-blessed with great hotels and this isn't one, but it serves its purpose.

The double glazing had... More
