Good hotel, but absolutely not worth the price. I arrived here with my grandfather after a difficult and tiresome day (cancelled flight from Edinburgh in the morning, which led us to be rerouted via Manchester). When entering the hotel, we thought the modest timber table standing at reception symbolised a daring and modern hotel. But it was actually a sign of the frugality which awaited us in our room.
Throughout our stay, we faced an ugly and narrow courtyard, as no twin rooms have been built with a street view. The room was quite small, with just one pillow per person, and there were no hand towels in the bathroom. Not to mention the single cup put at our disposal (in a room meant for two people), which truly embodies the hotel's amateurism.
Nevertheless, a couple of positive aspects. First, the location is ideal, just 5 min away from Manchester Piccadilly rail station and right next to the bustling Piccadilly Gardens and their shopping and dining opportunities. Secondly, the extremely comfortable mattresses were to die for. Finally, although there were some cracks and stains on the wallpaper, cleanliness was impeccable. But once again, despite these, the price (nearly 185 € for 2) definitely did not reflect our global experience.

This was a nice hotel. It's relatively cheap and it isn't supposed to be high-end but it's got more facilities than really you would expect in such a cheap place. The rooms are lovely and clean. Air conditioned. Nice bathrooms. The shower is lovely. Very powerful but considering the price you pay, the hotel is of a very good spec

Recently visited here for the second time and it was another excellent stay.
It’s perfectly located at Piccadilly Gardens and there are plenty of bars, shops and restaurants in this area to visit.
The hotel itself is bright and modern with very comfortable rooms that are usually clean and tidy.
The rooms with stayed in have come with free tea and coffee making facilities, hairdryer, iron, ironing board and two large bathroom towels.
The beds are okay, a little too firm for my taste, but each person is different I suppose, but I still slept well each time I’ve visited.
Check in is super easy with truly helpful reception staff making it a simple process.
Standard card key entry to rooms are provided and all seven floors are accessed by two lifts located at the side of check in near the bar entrance.
The attached Jamboree bar and restaurant is also a great bonus. Good selection of drinks available here as well as a decent pool table if you fancy a game.
We also had inclusive breakfast with our stays and this is also served in the Jamboree bar.
It’s a standard travel lodge kind of breakfast serving with all types of different cereals on offer with the usual bacon, eggs, beans and bread for toasting also available.
All the staff here are also really, really nice. Always on hand to help with anything and are a credit to the hotel.
If you’re looking for a well priced, well located hotel in Manchester, I’d thoroughly recommend this place.

A nice basic place of good quality. The restaurant was nice with excellent cocktails, great customer service. If you plan on visiting Manchester and do not plan on staying within your hotel the whole time then this is perfect.

Excellent service from check-in staff. Very clean rooms and nice view of city centre. Very nice breakfast. Easy checkout. If you want to stay in Manchester city centre without breaking the bank and a nice hotel, this is the place.
