Everything about this hotel is perfect. Every staff i chatted to was friendly and fun to interact with. Rooms are out of this world, modern aesthetics. Views from the windows are on point. Would definitely book again to go there!!!

Really nice hotel and great value. People were lovely. Room had everything you could need with a comfy bed. The gym was well equipped for a full body work out and the breakfast café was brilliant with lots of different things to try and vegan options. Loved it.

Best stay of Manchester, don’t even look for a different option. The stay kept getting better and better. First, the room is perfection. The bed is the comfiest bed and somehow always has that “cold side of the pillow” feeling. Also a working kitchen comfy sofa, even managed to record a podcast in my room. Second, coworking spot downstairs is gorgeous worked there every morning just to be in that beautiful environment. Third, and also the reason I will be forever staying here whenever I visit manchester, super friendly staff specifically the young lady Ekaterini in the brunch area (also really nice coffee and breakfast!) She really made us feel so welcome that just locked in that home feeling and made this whole stay an all-rounded stay. If you’re still reading, this is the best option just book the stay honestly ps theres also a gym

Stayed here for one night as was going to see a band at co-op live. This is not close by so recommend to stay closer if this is where you are going. The hotel has a nice entrance with a bar and other facilities. Check-in was a simple process. Staff were pleasant on check-in. We were informed that this was a 24hr bar and that we could get served at anytime as the front is always manned by staff. However at our return the evening after the concert. I was desperate for a drink of water or pop, and was informed by the person at the counter that he wasn't serving and that I had to go to the 24/7 Spar that was next door (Its a 5 minute walk and it was passed 11pm at this point.) I had unfortunately forgotten my room number which I am aware was my fault. However when I asked for help I had to spell my name three times out and I still couldn't be found in the system. Bit odd as they had took my details on arrival. The room was large, it was more like an apartment. If your like me and prefer a firm bed, the mattresses here are very soft. There was a few rowdy customers in the rooms near us coming in at the early hours of the morning which I know isn't the hotels fault but does disrupt a nights sleep. Overall this is was just about ideal for a one night stay and where your not at the room or hotel for most of the day.
