Great location but overrated.
Pros:

Spent one night here. Immediate problems checking in caused a large queue. Eventually sorted by the reception staff. Room carpet was dirty in places and the shower wasn’t great. The worst aspect was the AC blowing out warm air all night resulting in 2 cool showers at 3 and 5am. Didn’t sleep at all. The much lauded breakfast was average at best, bacon terrible but the worst aspect was how rude one member of staff was. Only plus was the location for the city centre. Overpriced for the experience.

No chance to tell staff about experience on check out as all were busy.

Wonderful people & hotel
Pros:

I recently stayed two nights at the Clayton in Manchester city centre and cannot speak highly enough of the team here. From the moment something wasn't quite right with my room, the staff went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable — seamlessly arranging a room change while I was out, having everything perfectly set up on my arrival back, key card ready and all. It felt genuinely effortless on my end, which only happens when a team really cares.

A special mention to Karen and Emmanuel, who both checked in personally to make sure my stay was going well. Karen was meticulous in making sure every detail was sorted before I even walked through the door, and Emmanuel's warmth and attentiveness throughout the evening made me feel like a valued guest. Aya on the front desk was also very helpful. That level of genuine care is rare and it made all the difference.

The hotel itself is lovely, but it's the people that make it exceptional. I'll absolutely be back.

My experience
Pros:

I had an amazing stay at Clayton hotel, friendly staff, beautiful room and nice ambience. I was just disappointed that there was no refrigerator in my room, I came in June, very hot but I couldn't have cold drinks in my room. However, Omoye made my breakfast time relaxing, she was very kind and polite

Excellent stay topped off with an excellent breakfast.
Pros:

Hotel in great location. Lovely clean Modern room. Gluten free breakfast available and my daughter even had GF pancakes. Bilal on the breakfast was extremely helpful and lovely advising us what we could have and ensuring we had a lovely breakfast. Excellent service- we will be sure to stay again. Travel walking with allergies can be a nightmare but not here. 5* Bilal!

Pros:

It was nice and clean with modern facilities in a good location in the city.

Cons:

As you can check in online or using the screens in reception, you don’t get told things from the staff. We booked a reservation at the restaurant but ended up eating at the bar without realising until afterwards, as the staff didn’t have the opportunity to explain things such as the restaurant wasn’t on the ground floor.

Clean and comfortable but aircon centrally controlled
Pros:

The beds were very comfortable and bathroom very clean

Cons:

The air conditioning was centrally controlled. This would have been acceptable during normal temperatures but we were staying during an intense heatwave
