Last Saturday my fiancé decided she fancied a trip to Manchester as we'd never visited before, so we packed a bag, jumped on the train and just before lunchtime arrived at Manchester Picadilly with the first task of finding somewhere reasonable to stay. 2 minutes out of the station and I noticed the Place sign up the road and although...

Two nights at The Place for a conference in Manchester. Thought I'd try an apartment rather than conventional hotel for a chance, and was I glad I did! What a place. The fairly anonymous entrance is totally at odds with the interior, with its stunning atrium. Bar, restaurant, and gym are all accomplished, but the real surprise is the apartments... More

I have stayed at The Place Apartment Hotel 3 times and each time it has been a wonderful experience. I have stayed in different styles of apartment and each are huge with comfortable beds and spacious bathrooms. The original features of the hotel - the glorious atrium, exposed metal work, feature windows - bring great character. This is my first... More

Loved every thing about this hotel great staff great rooms More

We stayed in a 2 bedroom deluxe apartment which was very nice. Glad we did go for the "deluxe" option as the apartment was nice but would say some of the decor is tired and could do with a freshen up. We ordered breakfast to the room on the first morning, this was not the best...in fact even going down... More

Stayed here on a sat night with a few friends and we both got upgrades....ours to one of the penthouse appartments which totally made our weekend!! Rooms are spacious and clean and the kitchens well equipped (carton of fresh milk in fridge). Beds were comfy and nice toiletries in bathrooms. Rooms pretty warm but we just opened a few windows....

Our daughters wedding was held here in March and although the wedding coordinator was fantastic in every respect as was the actual designated area for the ceremony and reception. However, the accommodation is not that good...Apart from being very expensive, the Penthouse suites are tacky. Plug access to use electrical appliances near the dressing tables poorly designed, bathrooms need attention... More

As a celebration of Victorian architecture, hard graft and quality workmanship, The Place shows the way in combining preservation and functionality, weaving the past and the future together, blending the old and the new, in a respectful and forward-looking fashion. This impressive 9 storey high skeleton of massive cast iron columns, wrought iron box girders and curving brick arched ceilings... More

The Place is located 2 minutes from Manchester Piccadilly, making it very convenient for commuters. It is absolutely massive, with an atrium that looks like a designer prison complete with decaying palm trees. The smallish gym has cardio exercise equipment only (running machines, bikes, rowing etc), no weight-training equipment. However, for those who want more, there's a fully-equipped gym just... More
