I arrived late at night and was pleasantly surprised to find the front desk still open with friendly staff welcoming me warmly. The room was impressively spacious for the price—complete with a desk, sofa, and a comfortable large bed. The pillows were soft and perfect for a restful sleep, which I really needed after a long journey. What stood out most was the quality of the toiletries; they used well-known brands for hand wash, body wash, and shampoo—gentle on skin and hair, unlike the cheap, harsh products often found in budget hotels. Breakfast was decent but limited for my dietary preferences as a Muslim. However, when I asked if they could accommodate a vegan option, the catering team kindly prepared a plant-based sausage—something I truly appreciated and made my stay feel more personal. The hotel is about a 15-minute walk from Manchester Piccadilly Station. While it felt longer dragging my luggage at night, walking there in the morning was a refreshing, pleasant stroll through the city streets. Overall, it’s a great value choice with excellent service and thoughtful touches that make a real difference.
Staying at Charles Hope Manchester Centre was a great experience. Located just about a kilometer from the city center, it's super convenient—easy to reach via bus or even on foot.

The room was spotless, exactly as shown in the photos, with brand-new kitchenware and thoughtful touches throughout. While check-in during weekends is self-service—which can be a bit tricky if not prepared—I’d recommend confirming your arrival details ahead of time with the platform. Overall, the cleanliness, location, and value make this a standout choice. I’d definitely stay here again when visiting Manchester.
The location is excellent—super convenient for getting around Manchester, with easy access to public transit and plenty of dining options nearby.

The elevator was out of order during our stay, which was definitely frustrating when hauling luggage up and down the third floor.

His friendly attitude really turned a negative into a positive. We’d definitely consider staying here again on our next trip to Manchester.
