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.
I thought spa (gym) was included however we booked it through booking.com so unfortunately not. (It only cost £20 for spa access PP)

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.

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!
