I think this hotel is good value for money in the very centre of Manchester - within walking distance of the railway station & car parks.

It would be nice to have a shower room - even if shared - & more toilet paper

Overall: OK - pretty good for city centre & fairly quiet - but then I always take ear plugs.  (108368738)

1.0 / 5 1.0 / 5 Paul [London, GB] on 08/11/2009 (Solo business traveller)

There were none !! The Hotel was a discrace! I booked in for 3 nights which I had to pay for in advance and checked out after only one night. I am at the loss of the other two nights accommodation which I had paid for and would like to have this returned. There was nobody in authority on the morning I checked out to deal with over the matter and I left my phone number for the manager to call but have still heard nothing !!

Paint falling off the ceiling. Room untidy. Room noisy. Generally not very clean. Expensive based on poor standard. Bathroom shower not clean and water far too hot and not able to reduce temperature

1.4 / 5 1.4 / 5 Robert [Ramsgate, GB] on 14/10/2009 (Solo business traveller)

Rooms very very unclean, Bed Broken, Rat Poison in room. TV reception poor. No Curtains (apparently stolen) expected to put up with it. Wall paper ripped and splinters of wood exposed. what on earth were those stains in the carpet?

Overall: Staff polite but very unhelpful, maybe not their fault. Reporting faults were excepted so matter of fact as though they new nothing would be done. This was the worst experience I have ever had in a hotel. No excuses for the filth under the beds and along the pipework !!  (107953926)

4.0 / 5 4.0 / 5 Jemma [Southampton, GB] on 14/10/2009 (Same sex couple)

Great location, given key to outer door so no waiting around for a nightporter to open the door late at night, friendly polite receptionist.

Loud music from nearby bar, but you expect that in a city centre hotel, didn't stop me sleeping!

Overall: Good, like ronseal it did what it said on the tin.  (108674965)

Why do we publish ratings from Active Hotels?

Our rating system is designed to give you the confidence to find and book the hotel that best suits your needs. We've worked hard to create a fair and impartial process to collect our ratings so you can always be assured of a great hotel experience.

How do I add a rating?

Unlike other sites that offer ratings, our rating process is by invitation only. This ensures that 100% of the ratings you see on our site come from guests that have booked online with us and stayed at the hotel in question.

All our ratings are created by guests who have booked through Active Hotels (or its sister sites) and completed their stay over the last year. We don't edit, alter or adjust the ratings so you can be sure of unbiased opinions.

How do you manage to collect so many ratings?

48 hours after departure from your accommodation booked through Active Hotels or any of our sister sites, you may be invited to complete a guest review questionnaire. This means that, for most hotels, we're able to post more than 1 guest rating every single week. We currently display over 70,000 ratings and we add hundreds of scores from real guests every day.
