This was a great place to locate for visiting Manchester. I just walked a couple of blocks to the theatre and the next day to the shops. The hotel staff couldn't do enough, the rooms are modern and very comfy and the breakfast is to die for!! Very much recommended

I read all the negative comments but still booked it for a night, thinking I needed to stay only a night for a meeting at Manchester University the next day. It is indeed a converted hall of residence but I could live with that.

The room was okay, a single bed against a wall; the bathroom was small-ish but functional. However, the sound insulation is totally atrocious. I could hear every door on the floor slam and every shuffle and whisper. Now I'm not a light sleeper by any means but I was woken up a number of times in the middle of the night. In the morning, from about 7:30 or 8:00 am onwards when the conference guests staying there started emerging from the rooms, it was completely impossible to snooze, even though I had planned to wake around 9:00am.

For the £70 advertised, it's totally not worth the price. I've stayed at a travelodge, and premier inn type hotels for less money, more comfortable beds, and quieter rooms. I might have paid about £30 for Days (incidentally they advertise themselves as "best value under the sun" - not so!), but for £70 go elsewhere. Whether a tourist or a business traveller, your sleep is important.

Hotel is a converted dorm. You are staying in a university dorm that has a hotel sign attached to the front door. Great location nearby school and train station BUT the room is ridiculously small. The shower was clogged & again very small. You had to tuck a curtain in the basin of this p.o.s. shower so you didn't flood out the room but the ankle deep water made it overflow anyway so I guess you shouldn't take heed to the warning sign about the dumb curtain. Maid service must not exist at this hotel since room service NEVER came by to maintain the room. You have to pay for an internet connection. The room had fleas (no joke!)- shower basin was full of them becasue I left bath light on at night and so I am under the assumption pets are allowed. I didn't spend much time at the hotel so I was ok but if I traveled with my spouce we would have checked out immediately due to the size of the room (we would have been [--] trying to get dressed in the AM) The place was barrren with any life. Bar & dinnning area was empty. Missed breakfast due to service starting at 7 AM so I can not comment on that. Front receiption was open very late and can get you a warm bottle of water if you desire since the room you are staying in is too small to accomodate even the smallest of fridges.

Stayed at the Days Hotel for one night. There are better budget hotels in Manchester. It was really noisy during the night I think the walls were a bit thin. The location was quite good but the Premier Travel inn and the Jury's are better value. At the Days they wanted £8.95 for breakfast per head expensive. The only bonus was that the parking was onlt £2.00 per day on Charles Street for Saturday and Sunday one to make note of if you are staying nearby you will not beat that for price.
