Excellent location, staff were friendly, room was clean, bed was comfortable. I didn’t check the communal kitchen area out at all because I didn’t need it, but I expect it was probably very clean. Take your own padlock. There are cages to put your belongings in, but they don't come with locks. Front desk seems to be manned 24 hours a day.

Room was in below average condition - the radiator was leaking and the floor was very dusty. The window didn't keep out much external street noise. However, the staff were very friendly, helpful and welcoming.

The room I was allocated with my 10 year old son was right above a bar/nightclub with music blaring out until 3.00am. I asked to be moved but there were no other rooms available. If you want to pay for sleep deprivation and noise torture stay at the Malacuna. It was horrific and the worst stay I have ever had in a hotel.

I stayed at Manchester's 'non hostel' for two nights. Before I arrived, I was intrigued by it's quirky nature. The receptionist at check in was lovely. Once presented with my key, I went in search of my room. Where were the door numbers? On the ceiling above the door, of course! I was cold in bed the first night (there was no seperate heating control in my room) and when the warm air heating kicked in in the morning, the room became unbearably hot. Another (lovely) receptionist said she would turn the heating down - it then became too cold. This process repeated itself. Obviously, the heating control (which covers the whole floor apparently) is far too sensitive. (Odd that the corridors and other communal areas were heated perfectly). I had similar issues with the shower, which, despite considering myself an intelligent man, I could not fathom. The shower ran hot or cold, with seemingly no options in-between. (One of the shower panels also detached itself whilst I was struggling with the controls).The room was basic, but fine - a quirky neon light behind the headboard added a certain je ne sais pas - though any hotel room lacking a TV is, I think, something of an oversight. The (well equipped) comunal kitchen was a very welcome bonus. I really, really wanted to enjoy my stay at this great place in a great location. I think I did; perhaps there were just too many 'teething' problems
