Extremely friendly staff, intuitive layout and in room amenities including cook top, dishwasher, cookware, a spacious bathroom, and easy operations on all appliances - Also an incredible view, this place is pretty to look at, even from the inside, from the greenhouse room bar at the entrance into the pretty little rooms - not to mention it's right in the heart of all the places you might want to be in Manchester, and there's literally a Tesco twenty paces from the front door. This is my first stay out of America and I'm beyond impressed, it reminds me of A Stay Pineapple but it has much more luxury to it, just as affordable too, the price is justiciable threefold. Also the informational guides available around the hotel help mitigate minor inconveniences, including giving little local cuisine and sightseeing tips. Tl;Dr, it's great, I will be staying again as many times as I can.

Could have been 5 stars but faults in the rooms let it down. The actual hotel staff were excellent and it’s a pretty cool hotel with lovely ambience and clever an unusual room design. The kitchenette was incredible. So why did it lose two stars? Well, we had to move rooms when we came in from a night out as it stank of drains. This was after midnight when all we wanted was to go to bed, so didn’t actually get to bed until an hour later. The design of the replacement room wasn’t as good either, you couldn’t watch tv in bed as it was in the kitchen area (you could in the first room), also the remote didn’t work so actually, we couldn’t watch it at all. The staff gave us a complimentary breakfast as an apology and it was outstanding, couldn’t fault it at all. If you stay there, you must have breakfast there, fresh ingredients, attentive service and very tasty …from someone who rarely eats breakfast! I would try again, but my husband isn’t so keen sadly & with so many hotels to choose from, it’s unlikely.

Attentive friendly staff (a very big plus point - particulatly Keiron), lovely building and a nice big room that was clean (not perfect but very much acceptable) and had excellent facilities. Overall a good value for money stay and we would stay again.
