The price was great and the location was so central. Staff were very pleasant and helpful. But the mattress was very old and uncomfortable. The room was dusty and was very noisy - I could hear everything in the next room and outside. Especially from the next room - every word of arguments, every noise of sex and all.

The receptionist, an Indian man, wanted to give me a single bed despite my reservation being for a king-size bed, but thankfully I intervened. The room was small and not very clean. Also, the room is very stuffy and has no windows, it's like a prison cell. Like a prison room.

This hotel has a great location. The room, though a little dated, was clean and spacious. The staff were very helpful upon check in. The breakfast was plentiful though could have been a little better quality. I would stay here again.

Room was clean and bed was comfy, room was big. I arrived early in Manchester - they did not accommodate earlier check in. When I went back at 3pm to check-in, the staff is pretty slow and inefficient. There should be a line for already booked guests and a line for walk-in booking guests. Due to this bottle neck, it took 1 hour to check in until I am in my room. Hotel is centrally located close to food and shopping and Chinatown. It’s also close to bus station. I was able to leave luggage for storage until my trip on the evening. Overall, this was an average stay. There are plenty of better hotels and stays in my opinion where staff could be more accommodating and more efficient.
