The host Peter is lovely & very friendly I can’t rate the breakfast as I didn’t eat it in the end. I’m aware it’s budget so not expecting much but hygiene is an issue what needs addressing. No fresh towels as promised after initially being told to use the ones in the bathroom what had been used as they was thrown on the floor. The Wallpaper was hanging off the wall the blind was useless it’s all broken so the light just streams in, I get it’s an old building but there is a very strong smell in the room. The shared toilet carpet needs pulling up it strongly of urine and also wobbles to the side when sat on !! I don’t expect a mega amount for the price but the place needs a bit of tlc & a good clean if you are charging people to stay. I’ve ran a proper good old pub myself so I’m aware of what’s expected. My advice is take the review onboard to try and better potentially a great spot to stop in. Lovely host who seems lovely please have a look at a few things please

Absolutely fantastic stay. The breakfast alone deserves a mention. Usually you go to a place that has all inclusive breakfast, and it’s a loaf of bread, bit of milk , an apple and cornflakes…. Not here! The sheer amount of choice was incredible, catering for everyone from vegans and vegetarians to those who are gluten-free. There was even a mix of wholemeal , gluten free and white bread, fruits, all types of alternative milk, pastries , pancakes, yoghurts, cheese, 5 or 6 cereals(and gf!)and the option to cook yourself a full veggie/ vegan/ meat English exactly how you like it. The bed was really comfortable, the place spotless, and I felt completely secure throughout my stay. The people I shared with were lovely, and Peter, the owner, was the perfect host — couldn’t do enough to help. We chatted for hours, and he was a hive of local knowledge, full of great tips on places to visit, eat, and how to get around. This place is also dog friendly at NO additional charge. How many places can you say that for in Manchester?! I’ll definitely be going back and can’t wait for the next excuse to come to Manchester.

Peter was a lovely host and was incredibly friendly. It was tricky to get hold of him when I arrived but when he was made aware he came very quickly. The pub had live music until 12 and then had the smoking area just outside the room. This did lead to a lot of noise at night but once it died down I was able to get to sleep. The stay was a budget stay, so I did not have high expectations. It is a great option for a sleep stop. I found that the room was too claustrophobic with the amount of beds in there.

Peter was a very good host and is very helpful. He upgraded my room for one night because of a cancellation and I appreciate it. Although the cleanliness and hygiene was not up to my expectation. The plates and bowls at the breakfast were not clean and the bedding seemed to not have been changed in the dorm room for sometime. Overall for the price I paid it was a good stay.

We needed an overnight stay. The Oddfellows is in poor shape. Room was adequate and reflected what we paid. Bathrooms at either end of corridor, toilet roll taken by other guests as soon as replaced by owner. Bed was comfortable and overall our stay was good. We wish the owner luck with his future plans.

The accommodation was basic However the service provided by Peter was outstanding. and the breakfast was excellent. there was a huge choice including Oat milk and you could eat as much or as little as you liked. Peter was a perfect host and a mine of information. He was most helpful. I would definitely recomment the Oddfellows Arms and would stay there again.
