Ideally located hotel for attending a concert at Coop Live Arena. Room was adequate for our needs. Comfortable single beds. Good shower. Breakfast ok but room not big enough for all guests. 2 items were taken from our room. James the duty Manager resolved the issue in a very satisfactory way.

Hotel does what it says on the tin - good option for a quick overnight if attending an event in the city. Generally basic facilities & breakfast. Rooms could do with an update (plastic tea tray & paint on wood etc) but we had everything we needed with a good-sized shower, toiletries, hairdryer and AC as well. Staff were all really friendly, professional, efficient & helpful. Easy walking distance to AO arena Enjoyed a nice dinner at the Glasshouse restaurant, Crowne Plaza where you get 10% off if you mention staying nextdoor

Situated in the Northern Quarter in direct neighbourhood to pubs and restaurants of all kinds. Futhermore it is not far to puplic transport and Victoria Station. Althouth we did not like the blue light in the dining area we would fully recommend this hotel for a trip to Manchester.
