Can’t fault it, especially for the price - conveniently located, room was more than ample. Had to use key card 3 times on way to room so felt quite safe. Surprisingly quiet although it was a Thursday - Would use again

Spacious clean room with shower room and separate wc. Comfortable beds and mini fridge provided but no kettle. Perfectly located for access to all of the city on foot. Overall pleasant stay and if ever in Manchester again, would not hesitate to stay here again.

Everything was clean and well maintained. There are two buildings and we were placed in the other building—the one without a reception. The staff were quite helpful and let us leave our luggage before checking in and after checking out.

Quiet, well equips rooms. Comfy beds. No tea or coffee and looks like there used to be a bar in building 2 but it’s all shut up and closed unfortunately. Have a great stay. Convenient for Oxford Road, Piccadilly and gay village. Staff were great.

8/10 Very good

The location is excellent, very close to everything, and the place is very clean. The only downside was the experience with the guests upstairs constantly walking heavily around their room for long periods, which was extremely noisy and unpleasant.

6/10 Good

The room was clean and had the basic things needed but for the price still felt expensive to not have things like a kettle in the room We also only had 1 thin pillow each making the bed feel quite uncomfortable to sleep on The ground floor of the part we stayed in was fenced off as well as being very dark and dingy which was strange
