From check-in to check-out, every staff member I interacted with—front desk, housekeeping, even the concierge—was professional, warm, and genuinely attentive. They went the extra mile without being pushy, which made the whole experience feel personal and welcoming. It’s rare to find such consistent hospitality, especially in a city like Manchester. Whether you’re here for business or leisure, the attention to detail and friendly demeanor of the team really elevate the stay.

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.
