Hotel met our expectations. he room we stayed was plenty large and we really liked the interior decoration in the room. The bathroom was very clean. I would probably choose the same hotel again in the future

Positives: The room was great.

Negatives: Night shift receptionist was a little weird and was not too much welcoming. He was kind of scolding

Great top quality hotel. Comfortable rooms, friendly staff. Within walking distance to all of Manchester City Centre. Though on the extreme edge so can be a 15-20 minute walk wherever you are going. However, the hotel is also right on the free Metro Shuttle to get you to public transport anywhere in the city/region. Definitely would consider this hotel again for a future trip!

Positives: Clean, comfortable and quiet.

Negatives: The location was on the extreme edge of the city centre.

Very nice hotel. Combines an older building with an updated look. Rooms are small, but you're in Europe and that's the way it is everywhere. At least it was a queen sized bed.

Positives: Comfortable Beds.

Negatives: Room a little crampted.

The hotel was good and clean, but the weird thing was that I put the sign of dont disturb and the house keeping entered and clean the room! It wasnt a big problem but weird! The location was fine we walked for all places we want to go to.

Positives: Not excellent location, but good.

Negatives: Weve put the sign dont disturb and they entered to clean the room!

The location Is Ideal -- a short walk to the commercial centre but In a quiet and green area. The conversion of the building makes for Interesting rooms. The staff was friendly and competent. Broadband Internet access Is a big plus but the price Is robbery for a hotel of this quality and a Marriott.

Positives: Spacious clean comfortable rooms and Internet access.

Negatives: Internet was outrageously expensive.

The V&A in Manchester was superbly located for me as I was visiting the Science museum and the Granada studios-for those wanting the city centre a walk of 10 minutes takes you there so it's ideal if you want to be close but not right in the heart of this magnificent city. This hotel is a converted mill and has wooden beams and character a plenty. The staff are charming and discreet, there was an international celebrity staying at the hotel and not a word was mentioned-a contrast to other hotels I've stayed in and to be applauded. Breakfast-was excellent although service was a little slow and sometimes it was hard to attract the attention of the serving staff. The hot water system failed at 7am and was out for about an hour one morning, Hopefully a one off occurrence. Overall an excellent stay.

Positives: Comfortable & friendly.

Negatives: No hot water one morning.

My boyfriend and I stayed at this hotel for one night. I was most impressed with the quality and experience of the staff. The hotel had a quiet, serene atmosphere. The rooms were one of the most spacious that Ive ever stayed in including America.

Positives: Extremely helpful and pleasant staff, classy hotel with original atmosphere, very quiet.

Negatives: The location was a bit far from Piccadilly train station but Manchester is already small, compact city.

I would and already have recommended this hotel to friends. It was converted from an old warehouse. The outer walls have beautiful brick and the ceilings have large timber beams running through the rooms and halls.

Positives: The most comfortable bed I have ever slept in. I think they were feather.

Negatives: The breakfast was too expensive.

A lovely hotel which retains some character and history of the building in which it is housed with its exposed brick and large oak beams. The room interior is well designed and the bed very comfortable. The room air conditioning was very welcome during our summer stay and the staff very hospitable and friendly. There was a good selection of food at breakfast and the room had a well stocked hospitality tray/kettle etc. There are irons/ironing boards in the rooms but we found them not very useful (board sloped and iron not very hot when on full). The location was ok for most city center attractions which were within walking distance as Manchester seems a very compact city. Overall a very enjoyable stay at this clean and friendly hotel. We most definitely would stay again.

Positives: The overall look and design of the hotel with friendly and helpful staff.

Negatives: Useless iron and ironing board in room.

The staff are very professional and courteous. The rooms are very clean and the air conditioning system is good. Its a little far from the train station, but then, most places are still within walking distance.

Positives: Although the hotel looks like a dumpster outside, it's incredibly nice inside.

Negatives: NA

Positives: Room was modern and elegant and efficiently outfitted.

Negatives: Nothing.

Nice , charming, if you get a large room. need taxi from station. Need Free Internet, Internet is too expensive! it should always Free! It cost you nothing for the customer you'd get!

Positives: Old world style hotel charm.

Negatives: No free Internet! I had to go into city center for reasonable Internet! I am used to free Internet in rooms! for what we pay that should be a courtesy.
