Fabulous
Our stay at The Velvet Hotel was lovely from the moment we arrived to the time we left. Check in was really quick and efficient and being given a glass of Rosé Prosecco to drink while we were checking in was a really nice touch. Our room was lovely. Spotlessly clean, well equipped and really comfortable. My only observation would be that because we were on a low floor the noise from Canal Street below was quite noticeable when we got back to our room after being out for the night. This wasn’t an issue for us, but light sleepers may want to ask for a higher floor or bring ear plugs with them.

Generally ok stay with some gripes
Nice stay overall but let down by a couple of things. We ate in the brasserie on Thursday night but the service was very poor. Slow, didn’t take drink order until the food order and didn’t offer us a dessert or the bill. We had to chase this. We were in room 26 and it was a bit tired. Loose tiles on the floor in the bathroom, A lot of scuffs and marks on the furniture and the carpet could do with being replaced as it was worn. The TV also didn’t work properly. Freeview channels were constantly glitching. The bed was very comfortable and the rooms were quiet. The area was nice and central but we wouldn’t stay at this hotel again.

Let down
We stay here regularly and unfortunately this time was a big let down. The bathroom lights decided to stop working, they are run on touch buttons and so are liable to stop working. We were offered another barhroom to use on another floor which isn't good, we payed 500 pounds for a boutique room not a hostel. The room was in general disrepair and the coffee machine didn't work.....standard in most hotels. We have stayed here regularly and have seen a slowl decline in the standard. The staff are excellent, but maybe a little training on how to reset lights in the rooms would help, it's just a reset of the plc.

Your best place to stay in Manchester
Are you stayed at this hotel during Manchester pride, that was my reason for going. The hotel is right in the middle of the festivities. Literally, you have to be part of the festival in order to stay there during that time. The hotel is amazing. I chose the Loft which was incredible lots of space and lots of amenities. The staff was very accommodating and they welcomed me with a glass of champagne. As well as a pile of champagne in my room.

The hotel is beautiful and my room was gorgeous. The staff were lovely and attentive. I worried about noise from outside, given the location, but there was none. It is clearly very well insulated from noise.
