Payment was take before arrival which I’ve never had through hotels.com before so was a little annoyed as I wanted to use a different card. The woman at reception was rather rude and didn’t want to engage in conversation so we had little info about the hotel. We were give complimentary glasses of Kylie Prosecco which was a nice touch. Upon getting to the flor where our room was o was instantly met with stairs to the room which I had previously contact the property to request accessibility as I have a disability that isn’t obvious to most people. Once we did get into the room it was most definitely not a superior king room as I had booked and was a standard double bed. Very small and the shower still had a step into it. I called reception to explain the issues and again the woman didn’t want to engage with me but a lovely man was sent up to help us move to a more suitable room. The next room was more like what I had actually booked. It was a lovely room, clean and comfortable. A few light bulbs needed changing. Bed was very comfortable. After check out and on the train home I was charged more and also received two emails addressed to someone called Alex. Upon emailing the property they told me I had been charged incorrectly for the room and that was prob the name of an Expedia booking agent. I got no apology and asked them why nobody mentioned any of that to me upon checking out? I was met with I should’ve asked upon check out.., how could I do that afterwards?

Upon arrival from the airport I was permitted to check in early, which was delightful (until I got to the room). Overall, the condition of the room left much to be desired. For example, the room was dusty, particularly on the shelves. The contents of the mini-bar were less than optimally fresh, as well. Small towels and washcloths were absent from the bathroom and, indeed, absent from the hotel itself. But above all, the lift was broken throughout the duration of my stay. That was particularly inconvenient when, it turned out, my room was on the highest floor. The linens were pressed initially and the bed was relatively comfortable. The carpets need to be replaced. My initial request for a late checkout seems to have been misplaced which was rather inconvenient on the day I checked out. Requests for additional (bath) towels were not promptly acted upon and multiple followups were necessary on two specific occasions. Finally, the noise from the night club adjacent continued late into the evening at a volume that interfered with my sleep. I won't stay here again.

The good: Clean, suite layout unique and had good bathrooms, comfy bed. The bad: lifts/elevators did not work, going up and down 4 flights of stairs every day was a problematic inconvenience, coffee machine in room also did not work.

Worst hotel stay ever

Booked at short notice for a business trip, reviews were great, pictures looked nice, but this has to be the worst hotel stay I’ve experienced. I checked in late, 11pm, booked breakfast for 7.45. Female lone traveller. Went straight to my room, it was quirky but fine. It was on the 1st floor and overlooked the street. It was a little noisy at first but come midnight it became ridiculous. The music from the nearby club or bar became so loud and whatever bar or club kicked out, everyone was in street, shouting - I could hear every word. Phoned reception, no answer, didn’t want to go to reception that late on my own with loads of men partying and shouting outside. 3am it finally stopped. 7.45am arrived, no breakfast. 8am I phoned reception, restaurant and room service - no answer. 8.15am went down to check out, waited around for someone to appear. Eventually the receptionist appeared, I explained I had been kept awake until 3am and breakfast did not arrive. Whilst she apologised, she did not refund breakfast and told me they have a problem with the bar next door which is meant to shut at 11pm. They have complained to the council about it, but despite knowing they had an issue, they put me in the room directly above it, not at the back. So unless you are there to party, save your money and go to a hotel that cares about guests.

It's central in the Manchester's gay village which is great. Our room was very noisy - thin walls from next door (!) and loud party street outside. The shower was a bit mouldy at the edges but the bed was comfy and with earplugs we slept. Breakfast was only continental - a small bowl of yoghurt and muesli and pastries. No coffee apparently other than the pods in the room with long life milk. Not really the 'boutique' we were looking for - I was with my daughter on a uni visit and the room felt more like a gothic black den with a large 'suggestive' mural on one wall and a huge mirror on the other side. I didn't feel this 'vibe' was very clear from the website!

Close enough to be able to walk to where I wanted to go. Huge bath, lovely glass of bubbles on arrival, staff on check in were lovely, the man on the desk at 4am didn’t understand when I asked if he had lemonade I could buy. Lifts were out of order, one was sign posted the other we just found out it was out of order when myself and another traveller were stood waiting and no lift came down. Signs to my room needed to be more clear too.

The blonde woman checking people in in reception yesterday afternoon (Weds 24th) was unbelievably rude, unhelpful and after saying it was a £100 card pre-auth (despite your own website and T's and C's saying £50 pre-auth) told me if we didnt like it we could leave just handed us our key card. Didnt tell us which room we were in, didnt hand us a glass of prosecco (when we came back to reception after going the wrong way, we saw her giving them to another couple checking in). The room was clean, but there was a strong aroma of poo, i did have to open the windows to air out the room. Great location, but, i'm not sure i'd visit again.
