ABode Hotel, Manchester

Great first impressions with lovely greeting from lady on reception and and an upgrade to one of the huge top floor rooms. Fantastic location by Picadilly station and cooked to order breakfast a big plus!

Helpful friendly staff. Maintenance man helped straight away. Fantastic breakfast.

Air con wasn’t working during the heatwave but the staff sorted out a great Dyson fan for our room. Apart from that, a great stay.

It was peaceful and in a good location

Unfortunately with the weather being very hot there was no air conditioning working in the hotel

Location, size of room, value for money

Aircon was not working and mattress was too soft for us

Amazing design throughout the hotel and room. Comfy, spacious, with all details and amenities well thought out. Lots of wood (always preferred over carpet!) Wouldn't hesitate to stay again. :)

Confusing that the cheap bottle of water in the room had to be paid for (not in a minibar).

Excellent location, great friendly, welcoming staff. Beautiful building

Unfortunately the aircon didn't work in out room, a fan was already in the room to use but would have been better for the aircon to have worked. Minimal hanging space as there was no waredrobe

Exceptional character in lovely building, with furniture to suit. Good space in rooms.

Air con didn't work. "Unlimited" breakfast was in practice limited to one option served. Some confusion between the hotel's system and Booking.com's (sorted out fairly easily).

The building was beautiful. The rooms were big and there was a huge bed. The tram station was in walking distance, so perfect for our concert.

The mattress was too soft for my liking, and the air conditioning wasn't working on a hot weekend.

Great looking hotel with stunning period features if a little tired around the edges with lots of places needing a re-paint.

There was 1 staff member at breakfast who really shouldn't be in hospitality! To say she was cold and unhelpfully is an understatement.

The staff were great and the hotel really nice.

We had a slight issue with the bed in the middle of the night. The porter came up and fixed it, and then they gave us free breakfast which I thought was good. tks !

Welcoming staff, good location, breakfast, room size and bathroom and history of the building.

Room ventilation could be easier although it was a very warm week. There is a fancy Dyson air blade but the windows were difficult to open.

Location

Great location and lovely old building

Bed was quite soft.

Very clean and functional. Lovely staff.

Lovely old building with big rooms and amazingly comfortable huge bed. The staff were very helpful and attentive. Will definitely return.

The lift was a little scary for my daughter. We took the gorgeous wooden stairs. No air con but they supply and plus in cooler that was helpful

Great setting and location for our concert, the decor was fantastic very tasteful and the staff couldn’t have been more helpful and friendly

No a/c as it was broken so a warm night, the staff did however deliver a very helpful ice fan to try and Taj the edge off. There was also a Dyson fan in the room which we totally missed so our fault!

It’s in a great location (literally minutes from Piccadilly station), easy to find, good cheap parking, very comfortable bed, good shower/bathroom, spacious room.

Staff are very helpful but not very friendly, one receptionist barely looked up from the desk. The lift is slow, small and very rickety. Room is clean but rough around the edges, the curtain netting was dirty and so was the window. There’s an air con unit in the room but it didn’t work, so we were provided with a Dyson fan however doesn’t give off much power so it was quite hot. Water bottles provided but at £2.50 each! No fridge. Woken after midnight by slamming doors and the noise of hoovering.

Enjoyed the stay a lot, perfect location and close to the station, shopping and the Northern quarter. The place was clean, rooms were spacious and definitely worth the price. The staff were super helpful and kind too. One of the guys (not sure his name) was a top guy and made sure we had all the help to move our luggage to and from our room due to the lift being faulty.

Just the lifts were not working the two days we were there. Other than that, pretty much perfect

Loved the building and style... Marshall speakers and retro phones. Staff all friendly and amazing comfy bed. Good breakfast.

Great location, a couple of minutes from the station. Room very clean with everything you need in it, can't comment on the restaurant as we didn't eat there but it looked nice

Air con unit was broken which after looking at the reviews appears to be a reoccurring issue. One to note rather than a reason to put you off

everything good, friendly staff

The location was great and the service was even better. Omar went out of his way to help us be comfortable and provide is with fan.

The air con was not working.

The hotel is a fabulous old hotel, full of character and amazing tiles. The room we were allocated was extremely hot - the AC didn't work and the replacement mobile AC already in the room made no difference. The receptionist was very helpful and found us another room - which was an upgrade, much larger, robes and slippers, Nespresso machine, armchairs etc. The AC still didn't work but a Dyson was already provided and working so the room was a comfortable temperature for sleeping. Good also that checkout was 11 so we didn't need to rush.

We didn't have breakfast there due to the high cost and though the tea, coffee etc was provided, the cartons of water were £2.50. A small fridge would have been helpful.

We stayed here for one night as we were going to a gig at the Co op Arena . We would definitely recommend it . Very close to the train station and we could get a tram easily to the venue and walk back (30 mins ) . Room was comfortable and had been recently renovated. Some of the hotel does look a bit tired . Staff friendly and breakfast is good

The bed was a little too soft

Really nice large suite, with a great bath! Staff were friendly and attentive and a great breakfast.

The room could perhaps use a little bit of TLC, as some paint flaking off parts of the walls.

Great location, clean, silent.

Ac not working

Lovely hotel, great location. Massive bed.

Breakfast whilst nice was a tadge chaotic.

everything

nothing

Location was good for what we needed Receptionist on check in was fantastic and had a good sense of humour Very clean rooms

A little dated and worn No fridge in room In the bar area a couple of the seats were torn

I’ve stayed at the Abode several times now & I feel the location is great At very close to Piccadilly train station is an old building But has lovely rooms which are modern. The only thing I don’t like is the fact they don’t appear to have a small fridge. Love the staff very Acc in

No fridge in rooms.

Prime location

Great location. Nice hotel.

Terrible uncomfortable bed mattress.

Location is excellent, Staff were all very nice and helpful, very good value for money.

Room could have done with a deep clean.

The Staff were so helpful, the breakfast servers were really lovely.

The online pictures of the rooms are very different to what we actually got, Our room was quite dated

A stylish building in a perfect city centre location. The staff are friendly & efficient, rooms are large & well equipped and breakfast excellent.

The rooms aren’t sound proofed & there was some noise from outside, but perhaps that’s to be expected from a hotel in the city centre.

We have a great stay in the ABode Manchester Hotel, the building is beautiful and very well located close to the station . We had to change of room for the second night (due to minor plumbing issue but the staff sorted it out within minutes so all good), both rooms were big, nice, clean and very comfy! The breakfast at the hotel's restaurant is great, big portions and delicious. Our waiter was super lovely and very efficient! Wifi works very well. We will come back for sure!

Every staff member was superb and was really friendly, room was fantastic and the bed was the comfiest hotel bed i’ve ever stayed in

Having to pay for parking, can’t complain to much as you are in central manchester

Breakfast was great!

Hairdryer was a fire hazard

The location is very central and the breakfast was very good.

That there's no complimentary water bottles in the room

The location close to Piccadilly Station is good.

Although I was given an upgrade room the air conditioning was not working and we have had a spell of hot weather. Don't get a room at the front of the hotel because it is very noisy and it has the footfall to the railway station. I realise you are in a city and do expect noise. Ear plugs would be helpful.

Great location near the station Incredible Victorian features present in this Grade 2 listed building ! The bedroom was huge. Breakfast excellent

Nothing negative to say

The location was fabulous!

Fabulous hotel, great facilities in the room.

for me the bed was a little soft, but that's super picky

Check in good asked for information about road closure due to Manchester 10k by the time I returned to room it was there

Very comfortable room. Large shower unit with good products. Close to Piccadilly rail station, metro and city centre. Staff were very pleasant. Interesting design features. Considerably cheaper than a nearby chain hotel.

The decor is nice and the staff were polite and efficient.

The air con was broken in our room. When I asked at reception to change I was told it was not working anywhere in the hotel. Would not have stayed had I known in advance.

The location was brilliant , and the staff were very helpful The air con was not working, and they provided a fan for us. The bed was very comfortable and the room was clean.

I didn't like not having a window in the room, and I felt the room size was quite small. The lights had broken shades..

boutique nature. Nice to stay in such an historic building; lovely decor complementing its former industrial heritage.

access control a bit flaky on occasions from stairs to hotel corridor.

Good location

Air conditioning wasn’t working but staff were really helpful and supplied us with a fan.
