This promises so much & delivers so little. Reception staff were pleasant. The pendulum was interesting. The food was mainly fried & not in a good way. Mattresses were soft but towels were clean and the room did have tea & coffee making facilities. Will not be staying again but you want basic no frills, this is the place. Be wary of the black table cloths at breakfast.

It was a last minute booking and for 5he location and price I was looking for it ticked all the boxes - between station and The Apollo. So much so I've booked for my next trip to Mancester visiting The Academy 2. Breakfast was great too. Hot or cold lots to choose from. Just two things - the whole building looked a little bit dated but was clean from what I could see with all the necessary facilities. Also, I struggled to enter the room with the key card but that may just have been me!

Room was basic, but nice enough, The mattress was very thin though, so much so that you could feel the bed frame below when sitting or lying on it. Location was good, only a short walk from Oxford road station.

OK but a bit mechanical

Just a little impersonal. Stark lighting in the room. Bed not very comfortable. Breakfast was nice but odd, sitting on long tables.

Pleasant hotel, but uncomfortably hot

A clean and functional place to stay near the Gay Village for Pride. The room was small but not ridiculously so. The shower was wonderfully powerful. But I couldn't come back - the room got very warm indeed overnight (it was August), with no air conditioning or fan. It was an uncomfortable stay.

The staff were friendly, welcoming and helpful. The breakfasts were very nice- although I missed black pudding and there was no Worcestershire sauce available... The hotel is clean but really shabby and quite run down.

I stay regularly although the shower gel is such that it’s best to bring your own. It’s an odd smell often.
