Guest Reviews
- RRp774 (8/5): Ok - Signora all'accoglienza molto disponibile, posizione. Non c'è una vera reception, mancanza adattatori prese elettriche.
- Jagielska (10/5): -
- Judy (9/5): Great location, great hospitality. - It was iconic British to us Americans, and the location was perfect since we were traveling by train. The only tiny thing was it a bit noisy in the morning but we were in a busy intersection.
- Daniel (8/5): - Convenient, close to Station. Friendly staff. Nothing.
- R. Alun (6/5): -
- Jeffrey (9/5): - Good location and clean. Great value! I do wish the bathroom door locked
- Hans (5/5): Max en natts vistelse, - Läget samt bra möbler och skön säng. Kunde ej använda duschen, blandaren trasig.
Glödlampa till sänglampa trasig.
Många trappor, tungt bära resväskor.
- massimo (8/5): -
- Ping (9/5): -
- Ann (10/5): - Härlig känsla o atmosfär . Uppfyllde alla förutfattade idéer om typiskt engelskt
- Göran (7/5): Bra läge. Sköna sängar. - Läget. Sköna sängar. Tysta rum (4 och 5). Enkel frukost. Duschen var ostädad på väggarna, svarta prickarl. Många trappor.
- Stephen (8/5): Enjoyable stay. - Everything. Good clean room. Nice Breakfast & good value for money .Also near the train station & metro stop.. Nothing to speak of .
- Alessia (8/5): Super consigliato per un weekend - Posizione ottimale a pochissimi passi dal centro, fronte stazione. Nonostante il pub sottostante e l’affaccio su strada la camera era molto silenziosa.
Camera ristrutturata e ben tenuta Unica pecca non c’è una ventola o finestra in bagno
- Jonathan Lamont Parker (8/5): Affordable, comfortable and cozy rooms in a great location over a nice pub. What more do you need? - Very reasonable price. Excellent location, 2 minutes from train station and free bus stops. Cozy. Accommodations were modest (but price even more modest), it had a great retro vibe above a really nice pub. Simple breakfast, but it was included. I like everything but again it's modest. Don't expect modern sophistication or large rooms. (or large price)
- Daniela (10/5): - Perfect location friendly stuff
- Ruud (2/5): dramatisch. - De bar was goed, leuke collectie bieren en andere drankjes. Prima. Was ook redelijk bezet met gasten van buiten. Hotelgasten niet gezien. Een 4 sterren hotel met 5 kamers: dat is 0.8 ster per kamer... en dat is erg hoog gewaardeerd...
Enkele beglazing, tochtig en slechte geluidsisolatie. Geen airo. Toiletspoeling blijft hangen, dus leeg reservoir. Je moet dus zelf de boel uit elkaar halen en fixen.
Een bedroom-ensuite is een leuke benaming voor een badkamer van 1.5 m2 en een slaapkamer van 6 m2. Bed is OK.
Schandalige prijs (120 GBP) voor iets dat zo wordt omschreven. Lijkt erop dat de omschrijving en waardering door "vrienden en bekenden" is gemaakt, want dit slaat nergens op.
Ontbijt... 4 soorten ontbijtgranen, geen yoghurt, of melk te bekennen. Daar kan je dus niets mee beginnen. Een voorverpakt rozijnenbroodje en een koffiemachine. Wel een paar bananen en mandarijnen. Geen ontbijtruimte, want dit alles is op de overloop geplaatst bij de trap naar beneden.
Dit is niet een hotel te noemen. Eens maar nooit weer. Maak me zorgen over de betrouwbaarheid van de waarderingen bij Booking.com.
- Deanne (8/5): Would stay again - Location Closed on Sunday
- Darren (10/5): perfect - all perfect
- Neotecnia (10/5): -
- Glenn (10/5): Good value, clean and quiet - what’s not too like - Location, right next to the station - very comfortable bed and very quiet considering next to station and main road Nothing to dislike
- Alice (8/5): - Convenient location as the hotel is next to Manchester Piccadilly train station and a short walk from the O2 Apollo, the room was clean and the facilities worked very well. Would recommend the hotel as somewhere to stay and breakfast is included as well.
- Hall (6/5): - We was there 3days our bin wasn't emptied or towels taken away. We had to pile them up in corner could have a wash basket to put them in .Also we had to keep our clothes in our cases .could do with chest drawers, think could fit one in corner ware the table is . On one occasion we went to the bar to order a glass of wine we asked for small glass .the lady behind bar said she didn't do small glasses only large glasses which was more money .on the glass it did say different sizes.
- Simon (5/5): Comfortable but not mindblowing - The room is lovely and staff very friendly. Bed and shower great. Our bedroom door lock was broken. As this property is really a bar with rooms, the bar staff also looks after the hotel. With 1 person on a saturday afternoon with a packed bar i was told the person to fix the door was at home and would be back later. My party were heading out for the rest of the day so had to leave things in our room where anyone could walk into it. Thankfully got a message at 10pm to say the door was fixed.
- Francisca (8/5): -
- Evan (7/5): You get what you pay for - Location Dated furnishings and decor, no hangers or even hooks
- Sandra (10/5): Lovely room and a nice continental breakfast. Nice friendly staff - Close to the Piccadilly station
- laurencallaghan (9/5): Lovely place to stay - The room is very clean. The staff are very friendly and the hotel is very conveniently located, literally across the street from manchester picadilly train station. Nothing, I had zero issues with my stay.
- Joel (8/5): - Quiet, simple continental breakfast
- La_666 Demonia (7/5): - Det var sentralt og rent. Det var en bedrøvelig og minimal frokost. Te/kaffe frokostblanding og brød med lite tilbehør
- Severine (8/5): Parfait pour une nuit, tout proche de la gare - Un bon hôtel face à la gare, petit déjeuner compris
- Duffy (10/5): -
- Paul (10/5): - Nice room
Location
Free bottled water Pity about coffee machine couldnt get it to work
- Alex (8/5): Very comfy, quieter than expected, handy for trains/trams and easy late night access. - Lovely comfortable bed and very nice shower. Right opposite station and trams and easy after hours access so perfect for my trip to CoOp Live arena for the BRITs. Old building on busy street but secondary glazing was amazing. Once closed could barely hear a thing. Nice bread for toast with jam and marmalade and good choice of cereals and fruit. Only there one night so couldn't speak to the area or the pub but my stay was great. Quite a few stairs but I was expecting that anyway as it is above an old pub. Glad I had my eye mask for sleeping as the green emergency light is right above the bed.
- Anne (10/5): -
- Lindsey (10/5): Friendly staff. Good location. Enjoyed the continental breakfast - Close to train station . Perfect for over night stay Nothing to not like
- Glen (10/5): -
- Catalina (3/5): Poor - Not much - room small and dirty bathroom, the shower very small and dated, the walls full of stains and dirt
- Andrew (8/5): -
- Emre (6/5): - Staff was nice and the location is good but not very comfortable This isn’t an hotel, it’s located above a pub.
- William Aaron (8/5): Great location, Great Staff, Great Stay - Great location and a really nice place to stay. Welcoming staff, shown to room, room really clean, comfy and modern facilities with some nice little touches like orange juice, tea, coffee, toiletries etc. Unfortunately when we went to get the breakfast it had already gone.
- Jodie (10/5): - Perfect location for where we had an event. Very friendly lady that checked us in. A tiny bit noisy but okay for the 1 night.
- Wyn (7/5): -
- Paul (6/5): Friendly old fashioned pub, clean comfy no fuss excellent staff. - The staff were very friendly. The room was clean and cosy the bed was comfy. Breakfast was good as you could take it back to your room. Location perfect for the event we were attending a short walk to the shops museums and restaurants. The bathroom was clean the shower was good but the toilet although very clean wouldn’t flush at times.
- Michael (5/5): Good nights sleep pity about everything else - Comfortable bed and location Room and bathroom to small and no where to hang your clothes also no plug for the sink.
Continental breakfast very poor.
- Enrica (8/5): - La posizione e la struttura da pub. La colazione
- yvette (7/5): Okay for very short time - Convenient to city centre and train station Rooms small
Needs a little Tlc
- michael (10/5): Great hotel, great staff will use again -
- sam (10/5): -
- Recep (6/5): -
- Sally (9/5): Great Stay - The staff are lovely and the location is fantastic. The pub is great too. Literally opposite Piccadilly Station. The breakfast is a also a nice touch. It's just the bathroom that let's it down. Needs a really good clean and maybe an upgrade. Wouldn't stop me staying again, as we normally only stay one night.
- Liz (10/5): Great location and pub with accommodation - Really comfy bed, everything you needed, hair dryer, tea coffee, and lots of water in a fridge, great welcome and really close to the Apollo Nothing
- serafina valeria (5/5): Non come credevo.. le 4 stelle non ci sono - La posizione centralissima
Lo staff disponibile Avevo prenotato un 4 stelle attratta anche dalle buone recensioni invece: sono 5 stanza sopra un pub, la struttura ha l'indispensabile non hanno mai fatto le pulizie in 3 giorni e la colazione era molto povera
- Sally (8/5): -
- Raven (6/5): Pleasant for one night but not for multiple - Great location and lovely staff, our room the shower temp didn’t work, was stuck at one temp and was too hot for me, breakfast wasn’t what I expected was just cereal and pre packaged snacks, bed comfy. Breakfast wasn’t what i expected, and the shower didn’t work very well, we couldn’t find the wifi password anywhere in our room
- Sarah (10/5): Great stay heat location - Amazing location and staff great too Nothing fab all round
- Jordan (10/5): -
- David (9/5): -
- Sean (7/5): - Ideal location for what we wanted. A small room, especially considering the price.
- Camilla (7/5): Good for a quick stop over - Good location opposite station No food available, noisy at night as on a main road
- Schofield (7/5): -
- Karani (10/5): -
- Anthony (8/5): Was great as Everton won! - Location All good.
- Denise (5/5): - Great location. Clean comfy room. We paid for breakfast when booking. Didn't state it was only a cold breakfast and they did Not cater for people with allergies. A staff member stated " it wasn't worth them buying a gluten free loaf as most would be wasted. " The choice at breakfast was cereal or toast....neither gluten free. No alternative was offered.
- Giovanni (7/5): - La posizione dell’hotel è strategica, vicino alla stazione di’ Piccadilly dalla quale partono autobus, tram e treni. La camera era molto accogliente, calda e riservata La colazione era molto povera
- Graham (5/5): ok - All of it except that the room was cold and would advise if taking luggage no lifts a lot of stairs Nothing really was only an over night stay
- Peter (8/5): - Great location. Feels like a local pub in thr city centre Good value but slightly tired
- Jenny (8/5): Bra ställe att övernatta inför färd vidare från Manchester. - Nära till tågstationen. Enkel frukost ingick i priset. Bekväm sång.
- Natalie (9/5): -
- vicky (8/5): Friendly, local and it sumed up our stay in Manchester overall! - Very friendly welcome. Nice pub but regret not having tried the local ale!
Excellent location. Unfortunately flush didn’t work just before we left but it was ok as just checking out!
- Ravikumar (10/5): Great for Football travel - location - opposite the main station, accessibility
- Karey Anne (3/5): Stay away - Blackpool illuminations!!! - Surprisingly quiet despite the location, however unable to sleep a wink due to the strobe light of a fire/safety/blackpool illumination.
The most ridiculous light I have ever experienced at a hotel.
Would definitely not stay or recommend.
Picture taken at 2am with this light unable to be disconnected - fun night!
- Owen (10/5): -
- Bloor (10/5): Lovely gem - Fab location, really welcoming down to earth staff. Great comfortable room with lots of extra little touches and even the offer of a free continental style breakfast in the morning at no extra cost, would definitely stay again. N/a
- michal (7/5): Nice bar downstairs. Breakfast a joke -
- Janaina (9/5): Cozy place, right next to the train station - Nice room and toilet, kind and helpful staff, very close to the train station (which was very convenient). As much as the station was very very close, I didn't like that are very much...
- Andrew (10/5): - Really excellent finish to rooms, huge shower, red hot water, breakfast included, host Dianne is brilliant, super warm and professional. Will stay again.
- LORRAINE (8/5): Lovely staff, pub and hotel. Will use again x - Location good. Very clean The light in the room had a green light in the main light which was annoying when trying to sleep
- Liz (9/5): A pleasure to meet such lovely people - The very friendly staff
- Martin (10/5): -
- Nicholas (7/5): -
- Anthony (8/5): Good for a short visit - Location right next to Piccadilly station, plus taxis and trams. Very clean comfortable room. Not at all noisy in spite of location and being above a pub A few niggles, such as lack of hanging space, no shelf in the shower to put shampoo etc (and slippery floor), not made up each day. Breakfast uninspiring.
- Goldstraw (8/5): - Nice clean room but needs some hooks to hand up coats. staff helpful and friendly. location good .breakfast ok continental . Pub not serving food any more which was disappointing .
Had a great time.🙂
- Daniele (4/5): Mercatini deludenti - La posizione e la disponibilità della signora delle pulizie, unica disponibile per info e aiuto Antipatia dello staff al check in e poca disponibilità nella risoluzione di un problema con l'adattatore corrente.
WiFi mai funzionante e ovviamente non risolto dallo staff se non con un sorrisino di scuse.
Colazione a livelli distributore automatici, la chiamano continentale, vedi foto
Pulizia al limite, nonostante fossimo in UK.
Nessun armadio né appendini in bagno.
Riscaldamento in bagno a tempo x cui si spegneva quando serviva.
Qualità prezzo della struttura assurdo.
- James (4/5): Could be a nice place, but not maintained well enough - Clean room, comfy bed and nice bathroom with decent shower. No WiFi, TV was broken, wouldn't switch on. I complained about the Internet, and was fobbed off with a made up excuse about neighbouring building work. Funny how all the nearby buildings had zero problems with theres, as expected. Having no wifi is unacceptable, in this day and age.
- Georgie (8/5): Great location and nice and clean, the staff were really friendly and made sure everything was ok for us. - The location was prefect and the room was amazingly clean and tidy. The toilet was very temperamental and the breakfast could have been a little better but they were the only small negatives we found with the place
- Emma (10/5): - The location was fabulous, a couple of minutes walk from the train station. The room we had was lovely was spacious, had 2 very comfortable beds, plenty of tea and coffee making items, canny bathroom. View out of the window was lovely, especially early evening as the light was starting to fade.
- Kenny (10/5): Great location nice staff - Was nice and clean staff were friendly good value for money, great location All good
- Karen (8/5): -
- Viez (9/5): - Hôtel bien
- Matthias (7/5): -
- Michael (7/5): - Great location. Landlady was really friendly and helpful. Pub was closed for a refurb which i wish I'd been told beforehand.
- gary (7/5): - The location was excellent 👌. The receptionist who's name I didn't get was lovely and accommodating.
The bathroom had everything required and the shower was good and warm. The room.was relatively small but had everything required. Unfortunately the bar was closed for renovations. The continental breakfast was good but very basic and had to be brought back to the bedroom to be eaten, which isn't ideal but I did avail and what was available was very good.
The room access via the lane (side door) didn't fill me with safety especially during darkness as the street fob wasn't activated at the bottom of the stairwell.
- Judith (8/5): -
- David (9/5): - Friendly staff
Located perfectly near the train station
- Stephen (4/5): Dissatisfied - Good location Standard of room
- Rosemary (10/5): Great place to rest your head - Great location, literally across the road from Piccadilly Station. Not too far a walk to bars and restaurants plus, your own pub beneath you. Beds were comfortable, room was warm. Spotlessly clean, friendly landlady. Free Continental breakfast. Perfect. Everything was good for us though if staying longer a wardrobe would be handy but it was an overnight stop for us so we really didn't need one
- Jessica (10/5): -
- ANNA (9/5): Very enjoyable, we went to the co-op live to a concert and had a walk around the next day, no parking but parked in NCP - Very central and close to the city centre, trams, trains & bus stops very close across the road. Fab selection at breakfast and could take it back to our room. Free bottled water. On main road but very quiet. Host very friendly & accomodating. Nothing to not like, good value for what we paid.
- Ashleigh (9/5): - Lady who checked us in was lovely, gave us info re trams etc and had a drink poured for us coming back downstairs. Literally opposite train and tram lines. Clean and comfy and a great base for the night. A fridge with bottled water for guests is available which was appreciated. Breakfast isn't upto much but toast/cereal/fruit and a coffee machine.
- Clifford (3/5): Never again - Friendly receptionist Closeness to pedestrian crossing means beeping sound outside the window 24/7
TV in a position that means you have to get up and stand in front of it to use the remote !
Bathroom and bedroom window areas filthy
Poor quality breakfast items are served on the landing for you to take to your room, but there is nowhere to sit and eat it.
