Situated in the Northern Quarter in direct neighbourhood to pubs and restaurants of all kinds. Futhermore it is not far to puplic transport and Victoria Station. Althouth we did not like the blue light in the dining area we would fully recommend this hotel for a trip to Manchester.

Basic amenities, good cleanliness and overall good stay. Only thing worth noting, during breakfast don’t leave your table unattended to get food, as you’ll come back to your drinks being thrown away and someone else at your table!
