Excellent for me.
Pros:

As I have recorded, everything went well.
I have given top marks so needn't add more I think.
I was pleased by my choice which was ideal for my visit to the John Rylands Library with the London Travellers Club and Lunch with the group at thre St Ja,es's Club in Manchester which is exactly opposite the hotel, and so ideal.
I was able to walk everywhere, alkthough I need a strick sometimes.

Cons:

I wouldn't sayt I didn't like the carpet in my room but I would say just one small note, please - I did fall over because I have poor eyesight and coming in to the room [110] I didn't notice with the rather "busy" carpet zigzag pattern that there was a drop of two steps as I moved towards the window end near the bed. It was unlikely a person with not so good sight, and perhaps without all the lights on, would notice the drop because the zig zag pattern distracts the eye into thinking the floor is flat all through to the bed.

Perhaps a Note to people if poor sighted ? Or maybe a slight adjustment to highlight where the steps are, without spoiling the aesthetics ?

Situation idéale, personnel très gentil mais je dirais qu'il s'agit plus d'un hôtel 4* que 5*.
Pros:

Personnel très attentif et bienveillant. Excellente atmosphère.
Hôtel Art Deco très bien situé, permettant d'avoir accès en 10-15 minutes aux principaux lieux d'intérêt de la ville.
Rooftop-bar

Cons:

Chambre mal insonorisée.
Tapis dans la chambre en mauvais état (pas très propre).
Petit déjeuner buffet très peu garni, peu de choix (pas digne d'un hôtel 5 étoiles), mais les plats cuisinés sont excellents

Defo not 5 star
Pros:

Location.

Cons:

Very odd reception, small and non welcoming.
5 star ? Dont think so.
No welcome drink, and you could spend all day waiting for the lift.
Room was cramped and cast iron radiator next to the bed that was great for walking into in the middle of the night
