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

Excellent hotel
Super clean and well presented hotel. Felt a little bit all over the place as the spa was next door and the pool in the main hotel.
Not being able to order lunch in the main restaurant in our spa robes.

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.

Ideal city stay getaway!
We arrived before check in and the reception staff happily took our luggage so we could go for food without the suitcases. When we came to the room later on, our luggage had been delivered to our room which was a lovely touch. The staff were incredibly helpful, welcoming and professional. The room was beautiful and exceeded expectations…super comfy beds, lovely furniture and decoration, gowns, slippers, well stocked mini bar, coffee maker etc. The bathroom was stocked with beautiful Espa products, had a freestanding bath and rainfall shower…heaven! The steam room and the heated rooftop pool over looking Manchester were the highlight! The hotel is extremely accessible with a lift to all floors and wide hallways. Despite being in the city centre it was really quiet. The location is brilliant, you can easily access the main areas of the city centre within a few minutes walk and Ubers to and from were surprisingly well priced! I can’t wait for my next stay!
Nothing could have been better!

Great room, great stay, maybe some further attention needed in areas
Great hotel for the price. Comfy bed and room, nice quiet part of town so no road noise. Good water pressure, fantastic shower and bathroom facilities.
Room service very expensive. Sub par Caesar salad which was just shredded lettuce and dressing was £12, added chicken for £5 and I wouldn't say there was even 30g worth. We unfortunately had to get up at 6am to go to the local tesco to get some water. Only 1 small bottle of water in the fridge which was £2.50, which we had, but the water which came out the tap was too hot to drink. Sky Tv didn't work very well.

Brilliant, relaxing stay over, staff were exceptional especially for breakfast the following morning
The spa area, the bathroom was beautiful, the bed was very comfy. Overall very happy, had a lovely relaxing stay over. To top it off my partner proposed to me on the evening so we will never forget our stay here.
Despite us having an amazing time we were overall happy, the rooms were slightly dusty and dirty in the bathroom.

Fabulous
The rooms were fantastic. Very clean. Lovely additional extras such as bath robes and slippers to Nescafé coffee machine. Room had a wonderful view.
If you don’t have your bank card with you, you are charged double the amount to pay on arrival. £200 upfront. This isn’t stated in the terms and conditions.

Still a beautiful stay just abit more attention to detail on them things
I love staying at the kingstreet always a nice treat
I didn’t like th le face the tv just didn’t work in room 41 And there was no big towels for out the shower which was a shame

Very good
Room, staff, location
Stayed in Covid when you had to book the rooftop pool. Such a better experience. Couldn’t even use the facilities as it was busy or people were in the pool with bottles of champagne. This isn’t the best when you do pay that bit extra for the hotel stay to use those facilities.
22 December 2024
Will certainly be returning to use the facilities next time
Great room and en suite - shower incredible!
Nothing - the only issue I encountered was my room key card didn’t work initially so I had to head back to check in desk. Otherwise a perfect stay

i usually expect to check out by noon however, after breakfast about 10.50 we were called by reception to tell us check out was 11am & if were any longer the hotel has the right to charge us more, we were disgusted by this attitude & left before 11.30am
