We were attending the Pearl Jam gig at the Co-op Live and chose this hotel as it was close to the train and tram stations. This hotel is very small in the number of rooms available. Upon arrival we were upgraded to one of their Signature duplex penthouse suites suites and were amazed by the room. The room was large and spacious and was clean and very quiet. I can imagine as the hotel is on the edge of Canal Street that at the weekend this area is very active with many bars and eateries can be loud but we hardly heard anything even though the pub next door was very busy on a Tuesday night. We can visit Manchester at least once a year to see a band or catch up with family and I would stay here again if I could get in as it had a great vibe, the staff were exceptionally helpful and you are close to public transport and within a short 5 minute walk can be into the city centre.

Bed was incredibly comfortable - decor was intimidating (religious iconography on the walls). It felt a bit tired and in need of a refurb.

First post-refurb visit
My first time here since the refurb and while the rooms have lost some character they remain very comfortable and beautifully designed. The location is great, as is the service and I’d plan to return as my first choice whenever life brings me to Manchester.

Best intro to Manchester - Sublime!
What a stay! Easily one of our top stays in the UK and for many great reasons. Facilities and amenities were beautiful; fresh and new with impeccable style and the staff! The team were so sweet and lovely to meet. We had a small issue with hot water but the team were so quick to help get things fixed and it was as if nothing had happened. 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking for a great stay in the Gay Village.

Location was brilliant, area around the canal was very good and vibrant in the evening, places to eat and drink within walking distance.Room itself was very tired, with damaged mirror tables taped over, shower room floor tiles cracked, radiator caps missing, down light hanging down, blinds broken, feel this room was well over priced .

Fantastic location, friendly and polite staff. Noise levels let the accommodation down. However this is due to surrounding bars and clubs until early hours and the following morning waste disposal services. Windows let far too much noise in. Great place for a night out but not so much for a romantic night away.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
My room didn't look anything like the photos advertised on Expedia. Staff wasn't very knowledgable - seemed like the person checking us in had never done it before. A/C in the room didn't go under 19C, on a hot humid day it was very uncomfortable. Staff didn't know how to open my windows when I called down - they were hooked up to some electric switch that also didn't work. "Minibar" was a basket on the floor. Dirty water left in the iron. No fan in the bathroom. Maybe there are renovated rooms and we just got unlucky with an outdated room. The only good thing about the hotel is the area. Amazing Canal St. Walkable to everything you need.
