Guest Ratings & Reviews
Staying at this hotel was a real treat! The rooms were spacious, comfortable, and immaculate, filled with lovely amenities right next to reception in a private area. The service was incredibly welcoming, with super friendly staff, though it seemed a bit short-staffed at times. The location, despite being in the city center, was quiet and convenient, close to the Arndale Centre and accessible parking options. The dining experience was simply the best, delicious and filling, setting me up for a great day. Overall, a wonderful stay with some minor hiccups.
This hotel is right next to the kitchen, so there might be some noise late at night or early in the morning, but the rooms are very spacious and comfortable. The service was amazing, and the staff even provided treats for guests during a false alarm. The location is excellent, especially for exploring the Northern Quarter, but be cautious at night. The dining experience was fantastic, with a great value for money. Overall, a cozy and personal place to stay.
The hotel had a charming atmosphere and the separate living area in the room added to the character. A small fridge would have been a nice addition for the price paid, but overall a lovely stay above the bar.
My stay at the hotel was a pleasant one overall. The room was spacious and quirky, though it got a bit too warm since I couldn't open the window. The hotel had a cozy atmosphere, but there was a slight damp smell when entering initially. The service was helpful and polite; they provided correct air conditioning settings when we couldn't open the windows. Some pastries and fruits were missing, with the excuse of a shortage of supplies, which seemed unconvincing. The location was excellent for exploring the city, conveniently close to shopping, bars, and even the arena. However, the dining experience was a bit confusing with unavailable self-serve options and restrictions on quantity. Despite some shortcomings, I would consider staying here again.
My stay at the hotel was absolutely fantastic! The room was full of local tips and tastefully decorated with a fantastic shower and comfortable bed. The only downside was that it was really cold as the air conditioning wasn't on for heating. The service was incredibly helpful and accommodating, and they even gave us a belated anniversary treat. The location was perfect, near the bars and alternative shops in the Northern Quarter. The dining experience was outstanding and well worth the money when booking the room. Overall, a wonderful experience with a few minor issues to note.
The hotel offers a quiet stay in the heart of the Northern Quarter. The rooms, though slightly stuffy, are peaceful and recommendable. The service is personal and welcoming, lacking only some pastries and fruits. The location provides a good balance for a great stay, though a smart TV could enhance the experience. The dining experience offers a range of choices, with a highlight on brunch options. Overall, a modern take on a traditional pub worth the extra money.
