Great location, lovely hotel.
The room was lovely and much bigger than I expected. The bar wasn't open when we arrived back after dinner, but looked nice.
One of the reception staff was a bit unhelpful but I think that might be lack of experience rather than deliberate

Comfortable room but pricey and other service didn’t match up!
Comfortable.
Bar service slow - 50 minutes for a cocktail, turns out the bar tender had to send a colleague to the downstairs bar for an ingredient to make a three ingredient cocktail. I wasn’t told until I inquired so was not able to opt for a different drink. The bar was not busy - I mean no one except a handful of people who had been served out on the terrace. No inside seating available, the bar was cleared out. Pricey.

A wonderful city break
Great city centre location. Gorgeous rooms. Fabulous breakfast. Friendly and helpful staff.
The air con system was pretty tricky to work, and our room was very naturally dark - not really anything they can do about that though!

Exceptional service. Fantastic facilities. Great location.
This boutique hotel was exceptional in service, style and location. The facilities in the room were great, particularly the bathroom and lighting. The steam room and infinity pool were beautiful. The attendants were super professional, polite and friendly. The welcome desk staff especially were well-attuned to our needs no matter what time we walked past or approached them. They even allowing us to leave bags when checking out so we could get some brunch.
Some aspects of the facilities could have been updated, or clarified. For instance the remote control was a bit temperamental, and when using the steam room area the water jug was not always full and it wasn’t easy to see where you could top up the jugs. Similarly the area with the loungers could have some minor signs to stop people claiming and not sharing. Though overall, these were minor points, and for a long weekend break didn’t affect too much as we were not always at the hotel.

Lovely rooms and staff
The hotel were able to check us in early which I really appreciated, the spa was quite and lovely for relaxing. Location was perfect and everything was very clean.

Lovely place a little hidden away, glad we found it
Great location, we upgraded the room so had bathrobes and slippers, which was great for using the hot tub. It was such a lovely way to end the day in the infinity pool

Good stay put has the potential to be better
I love this property for location and the rooms are really comfortable private and spacious. Really elegant
The roof top pool is in need of renovation- it’s such a feature as few hotels offer this feature in Manchester. But there is mold growing off ceiling, rust on walls, doors out of order and by 2 o’clock dirty no one has cleaned it. No were to leave belongings and really let’s the hotel down! Also reception staff not the most welcoming!

Lovely city centre hotel - would go back
The central location, the bathroom and decor and comfy mattress. The rooftop pool and lovely service of staff. The atmosphere of bar. The luxury smell of the ESPA products and Reed diffuser in room. The shower. The full sky TV.
No complimentary water (I've never stayed in a hotel of this level without complimentary water and was surprised. The hard bed frame - have many bruises now! The bathroom sink tap - very hot water and cold tap didnt work well. Needed extra pillows (but staff were very attentive in sending more). No view in room. The phone light bleeped all night

Flawless solo birthday stay
From the moment I arrived to check-in, I was impressed. Your sense are presented with a look, smell, and feel of luxury. Staff were warm yet professional. Efficient and knowledgable. My room was waaaaaaaay bigger than expected! Excellent facilities, comfortable bed, great coffee machine, and a birthday surprise greeted me. The hotel's spa facilities are small but perfectly formed. The infinity jacuzzi thingy is divine. Sheltered enough that I could safely enjoy it during a storm warning but outdoorsy enough, too. The ground floor bar has a great atmosphere, with dimmed lighting, comfy corners to nestle in, great service, and a G&T that hit the spot! I would go back any day of the week!
If they could've arranged for Chris Hemsworth to greet me in my room, I would have awarded them 11 out of 10! There's nothing to not like.
