In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

3 reasons to book
  • Spacious, well-appointed rooms — Guests consistently praise the large, clean, and comfortable rooms, many with river views and modern amenities like coffee machines and air conditioning.
  • Exceptional staff service — The team is frequently highlighted for being friendly, helpful, and making guests feel special, including non-English speakers.
  • Prime location for exploring Manchester — The hotel is well placed for shops and bars, with easy access to Deansgate and within walking distance of Piccadilly station, and a short stroll from the river.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Riverside rooms may overlook a canal, not the river — One review notes that the 'river view' rooms actually face a canal, which was described as filthy, which may disappoint some guests.
  • Inconsistent dining experience — While some guests enjoy the breakfast variety, others found the restaurant food poor, with a vegetarian main course described as inadequate for a five-star hotel.
  • Some rooms lack tea/coffee facilities and extra pillows — A guest reported having to request these items, which was unexpected for a five-star property.
  • Mixed value for money — One detailed review felt the hotel was overpriced and basic, comparing it unfavorably to three-star hotels, despite the high overall rating.
