The bar below this hotel plays loud dance music until 4 am. If you don’t mind being kept awake all night then this may be for you. The room is dark with no lighting so who actually knows just how dirty it actually is but definitely early the settee should have a do not sit sign. The S and M mural on the wall was not mentioned in any of Expedia’s descriptions . Let’s just say I felt I was in the wrong Place at the wrong time for an expensive price! Leaves me wondering if I will ever book a hotel through Expedia ever again

Liked: Staff & service
The main benefit is the location, which is fantastic. The hotel bar is quite nice. The staff overall are lovely and helpful. The facilities are not as nice in person as the appear in the pictures and the room quality is inconsistent (but never poor). I was expecting a bit better but was satisfied overall.

A really unique property. The rooms were quite spacious and really interesting. The bar and restaurant downstairs were excellent with fantastic service. The reception staff weren’t the friendliest, but they answered my questions. The only downside of the hotel is that you can hear everything. I could hear everything going on outside, as well as the entire conversations of the room next door when they raised their voices the slightest volume. The bed was quite comfy, but it was hard to rest listening to the couple next door talk all night.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Velvet Hotel. It was a great location- convenient to Piccadilly train station, lots of easy public parking around, and tons of fun bars right downstairs! Even though it is on a very lively street, we never heard any noise from it at night. Also very walkable to other great restaurants and nightlife in the North Quarter. Highly recommend for a stay in Manchester. Recommendations for restaurants and bars: Federal Cafe Bar, Mackie Mayor, Blockbusters NQ, Soho, The Millstone, Another Heart to Feed, Night Cap, Rudy's Pizza, Oscar's, O'Shea's, Pollen Bakery, The Brewers, and The Lost Dene. Also definitely check out The John Rylands Library, it was incredible!

A quaint little hotel within 5 minutes walking to Piccadilly station. Easy walk to coffee, food, and the trams. Clean rooms with comfortable king bed and big bathrooms. The only issue is I was unable to charge my laptop with adaptor, had to go buy a UK charger.
