Great location and loved the decor and vibe. The fragrance in reception is divine. Room and bathroom were very well equipped. Bed was massive and comfortable except where the mattress topper didnt reach the edges. There was a bit of noise from canal street and noise from electric blinds closing in other rooms but not bad enough to mark it down.

It’s in a vibrant part of the city, so be prepared for the sound of folks enjoying themselves. If you want a quiet part of Manchester this isn’t it. The hotel was luxurious from start the finish - glass of Prosecco on arrival. Bathroom with a huge bath & shower - huge comfy super king sized bed - huge TV too. The staff were personable & couldn’t do enough for you; one of those rare places where they genuinely looked as though they were enjoying their job. There was a lovely coffee machine, a well stocked fridge & snacks. Honestly, can’t fault this place. Ah - maybe not enough hangers; but I could have easily asked!

The room was clean with modern decor and had a lovely view of the canal. The hotel is located a short walk from Piccadilly station, and within walking distance to many shops, bars and restaurants. We will definitely visit again in the future.

Absolutely loved our stay! Couple niggles… Mini bar over priced and the lighting in the room is too dull, had to use bathroom mirror, having fybromyagia could have done with sitting at desk. Staff are lovely and very helpful. Room was clean and tidy. Overall I would stay again.

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Wouldn’t recommend; stayed recently and was given a room that was already occupied by another customer. Moved to another room that was in such bad condition, window handle was broken and detached, window blinds which are mechanical didn’t work, kettle didn’t operate, breakfast didn’t arrive to the room as arranged (as assume because we was moved). Walls were chipped and marked. After speaking to the hotel directly and through hotels.com they accused me of fabricating the issues after I had left. Very dissapointed by this hotel, customer service with dealing with this issue has been horrendous from the hotel side - Hotels.com have been amazing though with the support. Wouldn’t recommend this hotel to anyone for the price you pay; you expect more and a better response to issues when they arise, to be accused of lying is disrespectful. Not inclusive at all for a hotel on the Canal Street.

Absolutely fantastic room and staff, a warm welcome and great location. Great that breakfast is delivered to your room as a standard, but not one to get excited about, it was a disappointing continental as far as continentals go and definitely not worth the money I'm afraid. Wouldn't stop me from staying again though, everything else was brilliant

Not worth the money

The room was not worth the £138 per night. Barely enough room to swing a cat and it did not include breakfast. Was woken at 04:00 and 04:30 by a bin lorry emptying the glass bin.
