- Pets not allowed — Only service animals are permitted; you'll need to make other arrangements for your pet.
- Breakfast service can be understaffed — One guest noted that breakfast was adequate but that there weren't enough staff during service.
- Price and service rating lower — Guests rate the value-for-money and service slightly lower than other aspects, so expectations should be moderate.

8Verified guest“The hotel was easy to find and just a short walk from the train and bus stations. I loved how close it was to shops, cafes, and even the festive Christmas markets. Everything was spotlessly clean, and the staff were super friendly, especially Ash, the housekeeper, who was polite. The hotel also has a luxurious health club with a fantastic sauna!”
8Verified guest“The hotel was cheerful, the staff were absolutely lovely and fine. I was there for one night and ate at the attached restaurant, which offered a range of nice food. It was surprisingly big and included a heating system, coffee, and storage. The location was marvellous and unbeatable, in the centre of the Northern Quarter. Again, the property was near a public park.”
8Verified guest“Great hotel, it has charming staff at the reception desk. The location is marvellous for what I needed. And it's by River Medlock. The attached restaurant is a reasonably priced place to hang out for breakfast.”
8Verified guest“I appreciated having breakfast in the restaurant.”
8Verified guest“Bright and cheap room for a work trip as expected. Marvellous breakfasts with actual fresh food and porridge. Amazing building, marvellous and brilliant location not far from the city centre, walls, ceiling, and public transport.”
