Great value exceptional hotel in good location for seeing Manchester
Pros:

The staff were very helpful and accomodating. Nothing was too much trouble. They even brought up tea to the room early in the morning two minutes after ordering! Breakfast was served to the room on time and was very tasty. Complimentary drinks (including a glass of prosecco) all made it a very pleasant experience.

Cons:

It took us a while to find the hotel - a bigger sign outside would have helped. Apart from that, there was nothing we didn't like

A stay I never wanted to end
Pros:

The property is stunning. The decor is beautiful, everything is so clean. The room was huge, had everything and more that you needed, having hair straighteners, curling iron and hairdryer all available in your room is top tier. The staff could not be better, always happy to help, super smiley and couldn’t do more for you. cCheck in and out was very easy, was actually quite sad to leave. Will definitely be back.

Great place
Pros:

Great location, an array of complimentaries including prosecco, breakfast and milk/cookies before bed. Very comfy, clean warm room, and beautifully presented building, staff were absolutely great.
Will definitely be staying again!

Cons:

Not really negatives compared to the positives, but no window to open or extractor fan meaning the room would steam up after showering, but this may be due to it being a listed building. Also worth mentioning there’s a holding charge which can take a while to be cleared from your back

Absolutely amazing - will be returning in future!
Pros:

Stunning hotel!

Stayed in room 16 and it was the perfect size whilst still being cosy. The style was fabulous and the room was well equipped. The pictures absolutely don’t do the hotel justice!

We had a phone for room service, two hairdryers and a pair of straighteners, ear plugs, water (still and sparkling) and a little pack of sweets on arrival.
The room also has a Bluetooth speaker and a TV with Netflix.
There was also access to an iron/ironing board and complementary tea/coffee for the entire stay.

We got complementary Prosecco/nibbles, milk/cookies and breakfast in bed!

It was very quiet and we weren’t disturbed by anybody at all.

Staff were all incredibly polite and went above and beyond to make sure we were happy.

Location was also great!

Cons:

There is an overhead rainfall shower and also a smaller shower head, but the bracket had come off for the small one so only the overhead option was usable, unless you held the small one the entire time - not too helpful when you don’t want to get your hair wet, but very minor!

Said slippers were included and there weren’t any in our room but this is another very minor thing - we were there early so they were probably just trying to get everything done for us, and if we asked for them I am 110% sure they would’ve been more than happy to provide! We just weren’t overly bothered.
