Manchester hotels in Gay Village

Pros: coffee/fizz brought to our room on arrival

Cons: parking was a good 5 minute walk away, no lighting at the dressing table or in the shower cubicle

Pros: Good location and nice hotel. Would stay again.

Pros: Great food in the restaurant. Close to the city centre. Very nice and comfortable rooms.

Cons: Not necessarily a bad thing, but it has to be mentioned that the hotel is located in what is called "Gay Village" by locals. The street is packed with gay bars and the hotel itself seemed to be very gay-friendly as well.

Pros: The central location is great for shopping and going out at night and a great, friendly bar forms part of the hotel; we were pleasantly surprised to get our first drink free (a nice welcoming touch). The design, cleanliness and comfort in the rooms is exceptional. The attention to detail in the room is also very good; there is everything you want on hand and if it isn't, you are made to feel as though you could ask, as the majority of the hotel staff are friendly, professional and welcoming. Also like the fact that there is a restaurant on site if you don't wish to go out into the city; however, we did not use the restaurant for reasons relayed to the hotel in a feedback letter.

Cons: Although there was an extensive and varied breakfast menu, the service on the first morning was much to be desired and the staff serving need some customer service training quickly as this let it down - not that anyone was rude, just untrained and unaware - breakfast was good. A different person was serving the second morning and the service was better, however, the food was very undercooked and staff failed to notice anything was wrong, therefore I went hungry. What a shame, as this is the only thing that let it down.

Pros: I stayed at this hotel with a work collegue for a conference which was held at the GMEX. The location was great for the conference, train station, shops and bars. The rooms were amazing. The hotel was clean, breakfast was great and the staff were really friendly and helpful.

Pros: The comfort of the rooms and the warm lovely welcome from all staff who could not do enough to help you!

Cons: Everything was faultless.

Pros: The management made an effort to work the hotel weel.

Cons: Lights in bathroom were not all working and even if they were its not bright enough. Lift too slow.

Pros: Fantastic location on the end of Canal Street with a close walk to most everything. Very lush and romantic accomodation, nice room service breakfast, lovely toiletries provided (Burt's Bees brand)in the room.

Cons: Somewhat loud at night, due to being between several pubs/nightclubs...not really a problem but might be if you are a light sleeper

Pros: Fantastic Hotel in a Fantastic Location.

Pros: The rooms were fantastic, I loved the little added touches that made the whole stay even better. The staff were brilliant, even extending breakfast time just for us. Would go back in a shot. Didn't want to leave in the morning.

Cons: We could hear the tv in the next room early next morning, and also the noise from the back of the bar/hotel where glass bottles were being emptied into the recycling.

Pros: Staff were very friendly and helpful. Room clean and comfortable. Very reasonably priced.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Nothing

Cons: This hotel should not be advertised on Booking.com.There is a pub/nightclub downstairs which was blasting out music until past 3am and we had practically no sleep at all. Appalling.

Pros: The location was ideal.

Cons: The room was poor in lighting, apart from that it was ideal.

Pros: really only thing I thought was good, clean room

Cons: not very friendly, waited a while to be seen to, think the welcome to the hotel should improve.

Pros: The staff were very helpful,Strategic location and Nice room.What more can a traveller ask for?

Cons: None

Pros: Arriving late just before 10pm, I found the staff very friendly and welcoming. Room was clean and of a good size and check in was fast. A special mention for the guy who checked me out in the morning - fantastic smile. Just what is required to get you motivated for the day!

Cons: One suggestion I would make is about internet access. Due to arriving late, when I tried to access the internet, I was asked to input network key. As no one was around to ask, I would recommend some kind of information is made available.

Pros: Cleanliness and quiet

Cons: Charging for room wifi when other hotels include as standard Radiator valve broken meaning room was cold al night

Pros: Excellent location. Breakfast ok.

Cons: Cold, smelly room. Noisy. On the ground floor.

Pros: Nothing

Cons: Poor customer service

Pros: I really didn't like any aspect of this hotel or my stay there.

Cons: No outlets by the bed - I have a CPAP machine and the staff was completely baffled as to how to solve my problem. My traveling companion insisted on an extension cord, which they were eventually able to provide, but this is the first hotel EVER in my experience where there were no outlets by the bed. The beds were sized for children, not adults, and were in dismal shape. The rooms were too small to allow for much movement, I had booked a single room with two beds, and the staff screwed up our reservation and put us in two separate rooms. I'm deaf and depended on my companion to assist me, so this left me in a bad place. Both of our rooms were directly above a nightclub - neither of us could get any sleep until the club closed at 2:30. And I didn't need to hear the music booming up from downstairs - the entire room vibrated. The entire place felt worn out, old, and used. The chairs in the lobby had cracked vinyl, and it felt like a dump. Our stay was ruined because of our lack of sleep, the management only offered a measly 10% discount (we're asking for a full refund from the owners), and we ended up returning to London early because we were both so tired and fed up. Stay away from this place - it markets itself on character and charm, but it's only surface veneer - it has neither.

Cons: Poor wifi availability, and poor connection even in the public areas. The toilet in my room didn't flush properly, I had to 'pump' it to get it to flush. Very dated overall. Breakfast was very average. Very over priced for the quality.

Pros: Closeness to team and stadium.

Pros: Room was very nice and spacious. Breakfast also very good

Pros: The hotel is well located and the exterior and central staircase are impressive. Staff were helpful though there was a long queue at check in. Room was functional, but clean and everything worked.

Cons: Wifi in room is limited to 20 minutes unless you pay for the premium wifi. Furniture and décor is a bit dated.

Pros: Was more of a B&B

Pros: The price, location for city centre and railway station

Cons: Room noisy due to occupant on floor above and thin and creaky bedroom ceiling. Asking for consideration didn't solve problem. Breakfast poor quallity - no muesli or devent fruit lots of fatty bacon, poor coffee - perhaps it just matched discounted room price bracket so dont pay for breakfast and go and eat somewhere else

Pros: The staff were good people trying to hold it together

Cons: It's just old and unkept. The owners need to reinvest in the property.

Pros: Room really smells of smoke very grubby . Asked to be moved because if the smell. Next room no better

Pros: It was close to the centre which made it easy to get to the shops etc

Pros: Being close to the centre of town and the men Arena, which was why I chose it.

Cons: There was a wedding party in the hotel that night so there was quite a lot of noise, and we could hear everything that was happening next door.

Pros: Convenience for locality to Bridgewater hall where I was performing in a concert that evening!

Cons: There was a wedding party on in the main function suite which was fine but which seemed to take over the whole hotel!

Pros: The magnificent central staircase and the general grand appearance of the interior.

Cons: Our first room was very small. The shower did not work. The radio via the TV did not work. There was a nasty stain on the carpet. Extra towels were hidden in the wardrobe. As this room was on the ground floor we kept awake by the nightclub.

Pros: Everything outside of my room

Cons: My room! tiny, wallpaper falling off, mold on ceiling, rust on bath. Rank!

Pros: Loverly hotel, made feel very welcome,

Cons: Heating in room too hot unable to turn down. Inform staff did give us a fan in mins but still mafting. We went into the jenny's about 6.00pm for a cavery. The food came out of the kitchen was cold,we informed staff.

Pros: The great staff.excellent breakfast,very central

Cons: what small faults in room were corrected very quickly,

Pros: The rooms and facilities has been redone and are very clean and pleasant although the hotel kept his charming XIX century style.

Cons: A bit crowded best value for money downtown

Pros: Ideal location, relaxing,convenient.Staff very effective at evicting drunken guests who were being abusive-most impressed

Cons: I wasnt that bothered ,as it turned out to be cheaper, but my room specification was changed and I was only informed at check in,which I guess might irritate some people

Cons: I was unable to get in to my room even after trying two differentkeys. The porter had to let me in every time. He told me this happens all the time and that some doors never work.
