    Windows were too high up so couldn’t see out of them, only one tiny bar of soap for the sink. It’s £7 PER DEVICE for wifi which I think is a bit expensive, it would be okay if it was for more than one decide - not great for work or business. The key card stopped working and we had to be let back into our rooms, although the card was restarted at reception. Quite old-fashioned inside.

    Location is excellent and right in the city centre, beds were comfy and hairdryer and kettle with milk and tea were provided.

    Staff were generic and rude, the hotel is very tired and dated. Very hard to locate my room. Had a fixed shower than an adjustable shower on its own hose, so was difficult to take a comfortable shower.

    Hotel is a beautiful building in a great location.

    Outdated room, needs redecoration. Room is quite expensive for what it was. Nice reception decor makes room feel even worse.

    Room was equipped as needed. Decor in reception is stunning. Staff are friendly.

    Intimidating security, you would think you were entering a bank, not a hotel. Only place I’ve stayed in Manchester that insists on photo ID so if u forget it, you might have issues. No window room was stuffy and hot, no natural light but can’t complain as I knew I had booked a no window room.

    It was cheap for the night I stayed but know this can be +£100 on certain nights. Bed fairly comfortable, room clean. Great location.

    You have to pay for wifi, ridiculous. I believe they had jammers in place so your phone internet doesn’t work good. Also the hotel have no microwave, like what????

    I lived in a single room. 108. Shower is a nightmare, you cannot properly take the shower as shower curtains constantly stick to your body, so it's disgusting feelings. No foot towel. Also marijuana smells in the corridor. Still two taps over the sink, not like on pictures. It's a very old fashioned hotel. No socket near the bed. Broken windows frame so it's very noisy from the street, windows very dirty . They informed me by message that without ID I could be refused, I was already on the train and thank God I got my kind of id with me, but normally I haven't. I just travel around the UK not from/to abroad. I'm 40+ years old not a teen long time ago.) Only huge thanks to the cleaners, no issues, freshly cleaned bedding and guard on the door - very helpful and friendly.

    The location is amazing. Incredibly beautiful huge chandeliers in the foyer and lobby. The grand staircases amaze with their grandeur. It's a shame that the hotel is falling into disrepair every year. But this building is already a national treasure of Britain!

    Grand hotel in perfect location for the city centre but the bathrooms need an update.

    The bathroom was dated and could do with an update. As a woman travelling alone, I would have preferred a room closer to the lift to avoid the long walk in an empty corridor. The bedside table was nice but too big to be practical. It took up most of the bedside table. The room was a little cold but I managed ok when I was under the duvet.

    Great, central location. Grand entrance to hotel lobby and stairs. Happy with the room although it was at the end of a long corridor.

    Wanted photo ID for all occupants that was causing problems for my wife and a number of others trying to check in. Should state that need this ID when you book. In the UK we are not required to carry this information on us all of the time.

    Good value for the money. Good location for the city. Room was clean.
