Clean and welcoming Hotel with...

Liked: Staff were very friendly and welcoming. Room was clean and tidy. Air conditioning was great given the humidity the weekend we stayed. Free Minibar (5 drinks in total & milk sachets) was a nice touch! Hotel itself was very modern and aesthetic. Great location with easy access to Deansgate Tram.
Disliked: Mattress was very hard and uncomfortable. I unfortunately did not get a good sleep the 2 nights we stayed. The TV in the room was very slow and small which was quite disappointing given the rest of the room. The open bathroom concept did not appeal to me but we understand this is part of the hotel’s design and as such is not a fault really, just personal preference. We also thought the breakfast was quite expensive.

Superb

Disliked: Checked in online but still had a long queue at reception to collect key.

Superb

Liked: Really enjoyed the facilities on site, the free mini bar in there room and AC and of course the staff were excellent, friendly and knowledgeable. We made use of the fun photo booth, the umbrella hire. There was an art exhibition on the first floor, comfy lounge type seating on the terrace outside. Overall impressive. Oh and the hotel accommodated us with early check in and free bag storage on departureRooms were quiet, well equipped and clean. Lots of variety for breakfast.
Disliked: We would have liked the option of additional pillows in the room. And the beds felt a little hard though that is a personal preference for most. More gluten free options could be available at breakfast time. Minor things compared to the overall experience. We loved it.
