Cheap hotel in central manchester. Good price considering how close it is to the city centre. I was disappointed that you have no reception and that you have to check in at the bar. With everyone enjoying their drink you don't feel comfortable going in with all the luggage! Staff is really friendly. We ate both nights at the pub.... More

We ordered from the 2 corse for £10 EXCELLENT value and... More

Lovely pub! The 2 courses for £10 is an absolute bargin, sure its not the best food I've eaten in Manchester but its traditional, tasty and excellent value. The pub itself is traditional and cosy with a nice log fire makign it feel as if it is in a country village not the centre of Manchester. Have been four times... More

I was going to see cats at the Manchester opera house, so this hotel was ideal be five minute walk away. Easy check in, our room was adequate with en suite, tea and coffee making facilities, iron and ironing board, tv and a heater. The bathroom was clean with shower and soft towels. As the hotel is above a pub,... More

First the good points - very central location, basic but OK room, food very nice and good value at two courses for £10. Now the downside - we stayed in Room 3 which is directly above the pub. After going to bed at 10.30 all we could hear was the steady Thump Thump Thump of the bass line from the... More

I recently stayed at The Ox with my wife whilst in manchester visiting friends. The room was basic but clean with en suite facilities. We had a meal in the restaurant when we arrived and it was fanastic! A proper old fashioned pub right in the middle of the city, there was even a log fire. My wife went for... More

The Ox offers clean but basic and reasonably comfortable rooms above a pub a brief walk from Deansgate rail station and Deansgate/Castlefield tram stop. If that's what you're looking for, you will find a brief stay here just fine. I stayed in room 9 on the second floor and so did not experience noise from the pub below (an issue... More

Great little place located 2 minutes from Deansgate and pretty central for all your needs. The free bus stops over the road and takes you all round town !! Alex, the manager, is lovely and the bar/ restaurant is cosy and not overpriced. Rooms are clean, modern but basic, but for 50 quid it's spot on!!!

Well, you get what you pay for. Thought we'd save money and try The Ox instead of a hotel but it was a mistake. Dark, dingy and run down room, bed covers not the cleanest and sounded as if the whole pub was drinking in the room with you until about 1.00am. Next time I'm in Manchester I'm paying a... More

I only stayed one night with 2 friends of mine. The place is nice, the staff quite helpful, but there was no internet connection working, and it was quite a big issue for me (I needed to work with the wifi and the free wifi was one of the reasons we chose that place). When we mentioned this fact to... More
