Manchester hotels near Manchester Cathedral

Pros: The staff were exceptional and the décor was inspired

Cons: Disappointed that I was there for only 1 night!

Pros: Hotel Gotham has by far been the most grand hotel I have stayed at. As an individual who’s life revolves around history and creative aesthetic the hotel has embodied the 20s art deco movement with exiting detail. The staff were all more than helpful with wonderful and enthusiastic service, not to mention all those suits. The room was spacious and cozy reflecting the elegance and decadence of the 20s with design details that set it apart from most other hotels such as the presentation of the minibar in the wardrobe, the hotel information presented in newspaper form, and my favourite the swag bags. Looking out of the exceptionally tall windows at night felt just like being in a film noir moment. Usually I would mention the price of a one night stay being quite expensive though for the amount paid we also received dinner and breakfast both of which were fabulous. I will find it hard to have a better smoked salmon and scrambled egg breakfast again. I also love how the hotel has made the stay into almost an immersive experience and I would defiantly recommend for special events, celebrations and even just a lavish overnight stay which is what myself and my partner did. A big thank you to the staff who made our stay so memorable we hope to see you again soon.

Cons: The only down side to the hotel, and this in itself did not devalue my stay in any way, It would have been interesting to have had leisure facilities such as Turkish baths or similar facilities though this is coming from someone who enjoys pools at hotels.

Pros: Stayed in the club room which is the smallest, and was still a massive room with large bathroom, comfy bed and amazing shower.

Cons: The room didn't have a bath but the shower made up for it.

Pros: Classy decor, clean throughout. Location is great in central manchester. Rooms are well equipped, we had cheapest room but it still had a bathroom bigger than most hotel rooms in manchester! Coffee maker, bug tv, comfy bed. Hotel gas a rooftop bar with table service which was excellent. Staff are bang in form!

Cons: Oh hotel gotham... those drinks prices! Its expensive! Two cocktails and a bowl of crisps came to over thirty pounds! They were lovely, but you would expect them to be for that price!!

Pros: One of the best hotels I've had the pleasure of staying in. And I've stayed in a LOT of hotels.

Pros: recommended stay

Pros: The location was perfect and the staff were very helpful when it came to luggage and our late check in. We went for the executive double room and the bathroom facility was amazing, the shower was great and the bed was so comfy.

Cons: The bathroom wasn’t as clean as expected, the toilet was not as clean as it is should be and the bin hadn’t been emptied from the previous people who had been in. The small hand towels had some stains on them too but apart from that everything was fine.

Cons: Everything will definitely be back

Pros: The reception staff are just incredible so friendly and helpful and it's just the loveliest place to walk into and be greeted by people who actually care

Cons: Staff in the restaurant. We went to the theatre last Sunday evening and I thought the restaurant was open till late as that what it said on website and in book in room we arrived at about 9:30 and got told food stops been served at 9pm nowhere could I find where it said this and also the restaurant staff completly ignored me waiting there by the desk waiting to be attended to I had to go in and ask. At breakfast we were seated given coffee we were told we would be given a few minutes to decide what we wanted which was great but that turned into 25-30 minutes before our order was taken. Breakfast was cold but we ate it because we were so hungry. Also prefer the buffet breakfast back next time. There was enough people eating breakfast that it would of been viable to do (I'm a chef so understand these things..... It may of also been hotter in the serving dishes) and also the young Asian girl who has no idea about table numbers wouldn't have to struggle with every single dish she brings out

Pros: Room lovely and spacious. Nice products. Friendly, helpful staff. Beautiful building. Delicious breakfast.

Pros: The staff were friendly and my room was fab, location was perfect and I really enjoyed the bars atmosphere.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Absolutely fell in love with this hotel from the moment we stepped through the doors. We were given a lovely quiet room where we barely heard anything from outside.

Pros: The room had so much character and maintained many of the original features

Cons: Very minor point but water leaked from the shower on to the bathroom floor

Pros: The whole experience was amazing from the beautiful room, fabulous breakfast to all the staff we encountered who went out of their way to deliver first class customer service. We will definitely be returning.

Cons: Absolutely nothing at all our stay was perfect.

Pros: Lovely breakfast and a comfortable bed

Pros: The double tree is a nice hotel at first glance. I found the staff at the front desk were not the most welcoming but that wasn't the biggest problem. The room was comfortable for the most part and me and my companion were looking foward to a nice stay.

Cons: The shower had two choices, freeze or burn. It was nearly impossible to get the shower at a normal temperature which was a huge issue. But we were only there for 2 nights so decided it would be better to give it another try than moving rooms. On our second night which was a Saturday we were awoken at 4 am by a group of drunk girls that were screaming down the hallway. I felt like I was transported to the worst spring break all inclusive. I called the reception 3 times and in all fairness they came up every time to get those stupid girls to shut up. Then their guy friends came from the party minutes later and started retaliating to help their skanky girlfriends. They were standing outside of our door yelling obscenities. I called again and eventually the noise stopped but at that point I had one more hour before having to get on a train to the airport so my entire night was ruined. While they were definitely responsive to the times I called they should have kicked these people out. What kind of reputation do you want to have? I know that on my next visit to Manchester staying at the double tree and staying at the hatters is pretty much the same. If you want to maintain an upscale reputation then be more selective about who you let stay in you hotel or at the very least have your front staff make the rules clear when these drunken idiots tumble in through the door of your hotel.

Pros: Only one towel for two people. The room was dirty, the staff were rude on checkout when I mentioned the one towel. Really disappointed

Pros: Very friendly staff, cleanliness, comfort

Pros: Due to illness my mother in law and sister came. They had a very good time. They said the staff were lovely and they had both breakfast and evening meal which they said was excellent. I'm jealous I was ill now

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Staff member Diego was lovely,so nice to be greeted with a lovely smile.Breakfast was fantastic too,so much choice.

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: Hotel and staff were amazing also a great choice of breakfast

Cons: When booking I informed the hotel I was staying over as it was my husband’s 50th and would you be able to put a little something in the room, wasn’t expecting it to be free of charge I was willing to pay, but unfortunately nothing was left so a little disappointed as was told it would be! But apart from that it was good.

Pros: Great service very clean Nice room with good location

Pros: Great location next to Piccadilly Station.

Cons: I was disappointed in the cleanliness of the rooms in the hotel. The lobby area has been renovated recently but the carpets and rooms seemed dirty and already dated. The bed was also uncomfortable.

Pros: Good sized beds and rooms. Ideally situated to visit restaurants in the NQ

Cons: The hair dryer cut off after 30 seconds, breakfast was very poor and the bathroom extractor didn’t work. Had we spent £5 more on a different hotel then we would have got a miles better experience

Pros: The staff were friendly

Cons: The room. The kettle that was in our room was disgustingly dirty. The room temperature was cold even for me who is from Iceland (the meter kept resetting itself regardless of manually changing it). Food. We bought dinner at the hotel restaurant on our first night at the hotel and the food was had mostly likely been prepared in the morning but was being served to us in the night, it was not possible to eat it. Between myself and my sister, dinner cost us over 40 pound and it was not possible to eat it because it was old and had a nasty taste to it. The breakfast as well was nothing to talk about, there was nothing hot except coffee and tea. The service. The food was brought to our room and we were told we could leave the dishes there for the cleaning team the next day, but we returned the next evening to a smelly room and dishes still in side the room although the cleaning team had cleared come to our room that morning to fix the beds. Location. About the location, there are two hotels on the same street with the same name, which cost us more because not even the taxi drivers realized this.

Pros: Brilliant location Clean Friendly staff

Cons: We could have had a room with a view but we will upgrade next time!

Pros: Location, great and efficient staff.

Cons: A little bit noisy - other guests knocking on the door and generally rowdy.

Pros: Good size room & comfy size bed, great location. Breakfast great.

Pros: The staff couldn't be more helpful or available. Breakfast was delicious and fresh. And the bedroom was huge with the most amazing bathroom

Pros: Large rooms with very comfortable bed,shower was fantastic.The staff were extremely friendly hand helpful.Breakfast was hearty and plenty of choices

Cons: The lobby had one working lift and looked more like a backstage area. Only one lift worked which took an age to arrive. Annoyingly I was on eighth floor. Air conditioning was also broken in my room. Hotel ignored feeeback email. Wouldn't recommend
