It’s a real shame as visually the hotel is very nice and effort has been put in.
However I was in one of the basement rooms and was immediately greeted with a musty damp smell.
There is no AC or extractor in the bathroom so the room is constantly damp. The hotel would really benefit from AC to clear the damp air.
I did appreciate the morning breakfast delivered to the bedroom, was a nice touch.
Lovely hotel and really nice decor. There was complementary Prosecco, milk and cookies for supper and breakfast brought to the room, they really go the extra mile for guests. I don’t usually leave reviews but I couldn’t not leave a review.

Great base for going out to socialise. The rooms on the lower ground were subject to a lot of external noise, particularly with it being the weekend.
Water in the shower was cold on arrival. In fairness the staff responded promptly and resolved it but the following the same happened again.
We requested 1 gluten free breakfast due to my wifes gluten allergy but what was provided was not what we ordered.
Fantastic hotel, great location, unbelievable price for the quality of service and room.
Infact it wasnt just a hotel, it was an experience in how hotels should be.

The look of the hotel was great, lots of nice touches, great decor and style, cookies at night and prosecco in the evening, lovely bathroom, breakfast in bed was a nice touch but the room was small so there was nowhere to even put the tray for breakfast and as we were in the basement the room was uncomfortably damp so you woke up feeling cold and clammy as the sheets felt damp to the touch. Staff were apologetic and understanding but could do nothing to solve the problem.
Lovely restored building, very quirky. Lacks storage space but if you’re only there for 1 or 2 nights this is unlikely to be an issue. Extremely comfortable beds. We experienced some outside noise very early in the morning (shouting & smashing bottles) but this wouldn’t deter me from booking again, we really enjoyed our stay.
Bar was above our room and for some reason was leaking water on the floor. The water went down streight to our very small room and our luggage and clothing got all wet.
Lovely little hotel, nestled in the heart of Manchester. Staff could not do enough to help, nothing was too much. It was a really pleasant stay, me and the wife will certainly stop here again next time we're in Manchester.
A great stay in a fab hotel. Room and service excellent and a great location - not too far from the station. Will definitely be our go to place place to stay in Manchester and we will recommend to others too.
Fabulous hotel with super friendly and thoughtful staff. Fantastic value for money especially given it's location in the heart of the Northern quarter. It was the little touches that made this hotel stand out - a complimentary glass of prosecco between 5&7 pm at the bar in reception. Which whilst compact and bijou was a beautiful place to sit. Coffee machines and fresh fruit were also available in the communal areas as complimentary. Ear plugs, slippers and complimentary breakfast were all available in the beautifully decorated room (albeit the room was quite compact - worth selecting one of the bigger rooms if staying for more than one night). Would highly recommend and will definitely be staying again!
Staff were super friendly and the hotel was close to everything. Got a complimentary glass of prosecco and nibbles which was a lovely gesture.
Room was in the basement and was nice and quiet so had a good sleep. Linen and pillows good quality and toiletries smelt gorgeous.
Boutique and lovely with lots of little touches. Friendly staff and great location.
Note : WiFi none existent, limited room for any baggage and room was in basement
We had a wonderful stay! The room was very reasonably priced and we got upgraded for free! There’s loads of extra freebies and perks, the staff are super friendly and helpful, and the room was really comfy and modern and the location was ideal. Will definitely be staying here again!
