Great building - great location . Hotel restaurant told me to come back later (this was at 550pm) as it was full with theatre crowd- they suggested I walk a few blocks to find food. Fine for a small hotel but not for a hotel this size.

The tall ceilings and generously sized rooms have us quite a bit more space than we were expecting. The staff were eager to attend to every need we had within 5-minutes asking. Overall and incredible experience for our first trip to Manchester.

Nice hotel with Paper-thin walls
Beautiful hotel but paper-thin walls. The room was spacious and well laid out, but unfortunately we were positioned by the lift. As it was a Saturday night the constant sound of the lift opening, along with the sound of the room next door meant that we didn't sleep well at all. It was a shame as this is a hotel that we were really looking forward to staying in. At 4am we had to knock on the room next door to explain that even though they weren't shouting, we cold hear everything through the walls. Earlier in the evening when we checked in it was evident that noise travels easily. We asked for another room, but due to it being a Saturday night there wasn't anything spare.

The building, both inside and out, is stunning. The lobby area is absolutely gorgeous. The attached restaurant and pub, The Refuge, was top class and a lot of fun. Our room was very spacious and comfortable. I did get a very creepy feeling later that evening from our room and the hallway. I asked the receptionist if the place was haunted. She said, "oh yeah, but mostly in the second floor". We were on the third, so no worries. I love quirky places anyhow. It was overall an amazing stay. Glad I booked

Unfortunately I only had one night at this lovely hotel but my stay was great. I did leave some items in the fridge and after a quick call was able to go and retrieve them later that day. The staff were all extremely welcoming and could not do enough to ensure I had a great stay, thank you.
