• Lee (6/5): -
• Ruben (6/5): - Good location next to the bus stop, 10 minute bus ride to the centre Small room and bathroom, does what is needs to do. Unfortunately a self check in place so no contact with staff whatsoever.
• Lee (5/5): -
• mwacharo (1/5): -
• Peter (7/5): The twin room worked very well for us . We arrived back late and left early the next day. - Good value for what we paid. The room was clean and appropriate for our 1 night stay. You can hear other people come and go from their rooms which can wake you early
• Gheorghe (5/5): -
• deborah (9/5): -
• SHELLEY (2/5): - Extremely expensive for what we got. The whole place needed updating and cleaning.
• SAMB KEINDE (1/5): - Toilet dirty smell bad

• Longinus (1/5): I regretted booking the accommodation my family felt disappointed - Accessible and close to the city centre and close to the bus stop. Wall and floor of toilet is nice. Digital access to the facility is impressive. Rug is smelling. Bathroom bathtub is old and has much old stain.
• Frankie (2/5): Wouldn’t ever stay again - Mould everywhere smelled of damp and looked like it is rarely cleaned
• Aisha (1/5): Worst experience ever - The mattresses were very old . The bedsheet was dirty. The quilts were very dirty. No proper cleaning. The condition was so poor than i never imagined. I was unable to sleep on the dirty mattress and dirty worn quilt. Never choose thus guest house otherwise you gonna waste your money and comfort. It is completely opposite from pictures. Worst experience ever. Thay turned off heating at 11 pm and when i contacted the property, they told me that they automatically turn off the heating 11pm at night and then turn it on at 6am in the morning . What is this? How they can turn off the heating un the night in winter? What are we paying for? When i gave them a call, then they turn on the heating again but it was a worst experience ever. I wanna report this guest house as it is not worth living for anybody. The dirty mattresses, The quilts, the bed , used towels, everything old and used

I booked for 4 nights and I managed to stay only one night the money is unrefundable I had to let go and get to pay for a better hotel to stay .
• carly (1/5): Run down area and very poor rooms - Nothing, it cost £175 for 2 rooms, and it was very poor Everyrhing, beds were metal and very creaky, scuffs allover wall , table was chipboard with areas where parts had broken off, chairs with bent legs booking com booked this for me as my booking in a entire property was cancelled last minute, area was very run down, I wasn't happy to stay here, couldn't wait to leave in morning

• Simone (6/5): -
• Hashim (7/5): Good -
• Ajlal (10/5): Exceptional -
• Mohamed (1/5): Wouldn’t use again - I liked nothing Carpets and beds was worn and dirty.
• Lynden (1/5): Disgusting - Nothing Everything. It was a proper waste of money. Never stayed in it. We walked in and walked straight out. It was dirty.
• Kellie (10/5): Exceptional -
• Liam (7/5): Good -
• Ngabo (1/5): Bad - Bed Everything
• Mr (1/5): Traumatisingly horrific. Not fit for humans or animals! - Nothing! Bunk bed was shaky and a safety hazard. 1 pillow each which were so old and discoloured, they were yellow. Steepest stairs I’ve ever seen. No staff at all in property and I was worried about being left alone in my wheelchair when my partner and son went to find someone….anyone from the property who could help. We left after 5-10 minutes. We found a sign with a phone number to contact about problems. I called and it put me through to the Gorton Mount Hotel which we used in an emergency situation for 1 night last year. We didn’t stay long there. A man asked my partner to wire a TV if we wanted to use it. My family took 4 months to recover from being exposed to rodent faeces in the hour or so we stayed and we only used the communal toilet, took photos including semen on the unwashed bedding before we left and drove home. Anyway, the manager of Birchfield and Gorton House was extremely rude and said it was to be expected in a budget hotel. We spoke to Booking.com who contacted him and they phoned me back to return to the property for a full refund. I phoned ahead to make sure the manager was there and he said no, I’m on life support machine. I said we were told to pick up our full refund and he said not to bother because he wouldn’t refund and was currently on holiday in Croatia and was disgusting rude to me before he hung up on me! This is the not the end and I’m seeking legal advice. In our opinion, both hotels need a health & safety check and a deep clean, although we will never return!
• Geoff (5/5): 50/50 - Was clean and warm Squeaky bed when turned over, a beeping noise was going off all night
• Doreen (7/5): Peaceful, comfortable bed just needs to clean the bathtub it’s too stained. - Bed was comfortable quite after 21:00. Easy access to Manchester Royal hospital. Very peaceful place. No toilet paper, not all of us use watering cans, bathroom tub needs to be cleaned it’s so badly stained, beddings are too old look like they were not changed from a previous person.Children making noise playing by the landing close to the rooms till 21:00hrs.
• Kim (9/5): Clean, comfortable and budget friendly. - No breakfast option but tea/hot chocolate were free. Room was secure. Smokers were catered for. House rules were clear and easy to follow. The kettle in my room didn't work, so I used the kitchen one. That is literally the only negative.
• Njabulo (1/5): Bad - It was dirty. Hair on linen
• Miklos (9/5): Nice quiet stay - Very nice and safe neighbourhood, smooth check-in, quiet room, comfortable bed! Manchester centre is 30mins if you walk! It could just a slightly bit cleaner, especially the backyard. Also, for me it was not an issue as I was rather lucky but having only 1 bathroom for 5 or so separate rooms in the house could have been challenging. Even though my room was next to it I was not disturbed at all by any noise.
• Andrea (1/5): Bad - Shared house with residents who live there full time. They had a party/ friends round until 4am. Paper thin walls felt like we were all in the same room so no sleep at all. Building was insecure no lock on the backdoor and the window in the room was broken and couldn't be shut.
• Cillian (9/5): Superb -
• Weaterton (3/5): Poor -
• Arsalan (1/5): So bad host and with the high cost and no heating! - I liked nothing of it. There was no heater, and the price with the quality of guesthouse was not matching!
• Jonathan (10/5): Exceptional - Amazing
• Qureshi (5/5): Passable -
• Kimone (1/5): Bad -
• Helen (5/5): The place was difficult to locate and no signpost to show there is a guest house in that location - comfy bed separate bathroom from the room
• Sikander (6/5): Pleasant -
• Levi (3/5): Poor -
• Leigh (7/5): Good - Beds were very comfortable The leaving time was too early!
• Rosemary (6/5): Served it purpose - Was going to a gig and it was very close to the venue .So location was perfect. Didn’t really get much sleep due to another guest being inconsiderate most of the night,slamming his room door, walking up and down the landing with his phone on loud speaker.
• Fawad (5/5): Passable -
• Abdullah (8/5): Very good -
• Laura (10/5): Exceptional -
• Suad (6/5): Pleasant -
• Nick (1/5): Avoid at all costs - I mean nothing. This is a house converted into a rooms which are rented out. Room had graffiti on the walls and was dark and dingy inside. The check in process is they text you a code you use at the front door. During the day you could hear noises downstairs which sounded like a screaming baby. The place is in the middle of nowhere. 40 mins to town which is about 25 mins on public transport and then 15 walk.
• Umar (8/5): Very good - . .
• Hussain (1/5): Bad -
• Kabila (1/5): Bad -
• Steve (1/5): Bad - Nothing Whole place horrendous
• Beth (1/5): I’ve seen cleaner squats. - Leaving it. Got there too late to book anywhere else. It was disgustingly filthy. Sheets hadn’t been changed, whole place covered in mould, empty crisp packets under the bed, walls covered in scuff marks, handprints, bookmarks, light switch caked in dirt, no light shade. There was a back door in the room which had obviously been smashed and boarded over with plywood with gaps in it. Totally disgusting. I’d rather sleep in a bus shelter than here. It would be cleaner.they haven’t responded to complaint either. Obviously just happy they took my money and don’t care
• Paul (10/5): Excellent. Great Price and would recommend - Was exactly as advertised. Very comfortable and will be using again on my next trip. Great location also and very clean. N/A
• Fairley (10/5): Exceptional -
• Gunars (5/5): Passable - Nothing. No coment
• Mandeep (10/5): Quality standards are number 1 - Beautiful place to visit and enjoy your weekend with your family and your friends Nothing
• Jackie (1/5): Absolutely dreadful! I would not use this property ever again! - The room was relatively clean and warm and the mattress was comfortable! There was nothing else in the property which I liked. I did message the property on WhatsApp at 11.15pm and I did get a quick reply, which was reassuring. The machine what you put the code into, to get into the property, was not working well! Hence one other guest was knocking on the door at 11.15 pm on Friday night for several minutes! Early Sunday morning at 2am, I was woken with a loud noise which sounded like running water! There was already a damp patch on the ceiling and I thought someone upstairs may have left a bath overflowing and that the ceiling would cave in! The noise continued for about 15 mins ( I did record it) and then stopped but then re-started about 30 mins later for about 5 mins. This then happened 2 more times during the early hours! I did phone the emergency phone at 2.10 am because I did think the ceiling was coming down! They did answer the phone but because of the noise I could not hear them very well and they then put me on hold! There was no further call from them! The room was very dreary and needed repainting! The bed covers were clean but looked well used! The pillows were very hard and uncomfortable!
• Dudu (6/5): Amazing - Location. The colour for bedroom
• Amanda (10/5): Clean comfortable nice location - Great to feel at home Small room
• Zareen (1/5): Good location but awful accommodation. Will not be recommending - It was in a good location There was no hot water. No heating. Horrible smell throughout the whole house. No tissues in the toilets. Not enough sugar and tea for the stay period. Lamp not working in 1 room. Bed linen was not ironed and was not changed at all during the stay.
• Muntasir (4/5): - You get what you pay for. I won’t be staying here again
• Mrs (1/5): Pethatic - None Smelly bathrooms Dirty disgusting Microwave
• Kirsty (1/5): So bad, I left within 10 minutes. I couldn't stay there. Absolutely disgusting. - I didn't like anything at all. I didnt stay here. I entered the room and within 10 minutes, i left. It was inhabitable. It was absolutely filthy. The walls are absolutely filthy The carpet is full of stains The lamp was cracked and didn't even work The table was damaged There was cups but no kettle The advert stated private toilet, there was no private toilet. The cobwebs on the ceiling must have been there for months. The noise level was very high. The smell of marijuana made me feel sick. The stains on the bed frame put me off even attempting to get into the bed.
• Tracey (10/5): Great for the money - Only thing is missed a TV and kettle other than that perfect
• Tom (4/5): Disappointing for the money - Warm room, Clean bedding and towels. Wardrobe with no hangers. Grimy shared bathroom that needed a deep clean. Cheap carpet tiles in the room that didn't fit together and moved around. Table with holes gouged out of it like someone had attacked it. Bunk beds that creaked and squeaked every time you move. Cheap furniture. 3 tea bags to last two people two days. Overall feeling that we were being charged nearly £100/night for a cheap, worn out room.
