The property manager was pretty unreasonable and unresponsive. I had to cancel my trip last minute due to a family emergency and they refused to answer me until two days later about a cancellation and then didn't even partially refund me, they charged me for the entirety of the stay, even though I never set foot in the hotel. I feel a hotel should accommodate in cases of emergencies, at least give partial refunds.

Unlike other hotels the Velvet lives up to expectations and delivers what it promises. We were met by a great host and given a glass of Prosecco on check in. One of our rooms wasn’t quite what we expected but we were quickly moved to another room which exceeded expectations and our stay was amazing. We would recommend and so would our friends who we booked the other room for. Great value for money and fabulous rooms!

Overcharges for mini bar

Took 1 item from the mini bar but got charged for 3x the amount. They decide what to charge after you’ve left.

Served a purpose as a place to stay while we were in Manchester. Funny smell in the room and some wear and tear issues. Toiletries provided were good quality. Bed was comfortable.

Wedding Anniversary!

Celebrating our wedding anniversary. Had a lovely welcome drink of Prosecco. Walked into a beautiful room, decorated with heart shaped balloons, little snacks and a hand written note. This made it so special and welcoming. Did not expect this at all. The bed was so comfortable and all areas including the bathroom were clean. The room was very spacious. The fridge was full of drinks and there was a snack basket in the corner. Tea & coffee facilities. Breakfast arrived on time. A standard continental breakfast with pastries. All staff were lovely and attentive.
