A converted hotel, well priced for the area which is styled with exposed services, visible ducts etc and leans into this aesthetic. Really handy location.

Stylish hotel in central Manchester close to tram stop. Convenient for all central attractions but still quiet at night. Excellent breakfast options and tremendous value for money. There was a clerical error with the charge but this was easily corrected without quibbling. Highly recommended!

The hotel is walkable from Piccadilly station taking about 12 minutes. It is close to bars and eateries making it a good spot for a night out. I stayed with my granddaughter and had a room with two double beds, the room was huge. The bathroom had both bath and shower and the fridge, iron and ironing board were very helpful additions. The best part of the stay was the breakfast which was absolutely second to none. The choices were endless with options of full cooked buffet breakfast, continental, and also cooked to order special, absolutely brilliant.
