Excellent
Loved, loved, loved the location! Right next door to old bars, new bars and printworks and department stores, cathedral Loved the grandness of the old building, but new and clean inside. The staff were great too. It's extremely quiet and can't wait to return.
Nothing really, we have stayed in countless hotels in manchester, and it's been one of our faves ❤️

There was no hot water, the staff said they’d pay for a taxi to another hotel but we hadn’t that much time

Beautiful building in a perfect location.
Property was absolutely beautiful, in perfect location. Close to bars, restaurant and shopping ! Also a perfect walk for the ao arena.
The main thing for me was the loud noises of worker pressure washing / cleaning the tram lines outside ! It had me awake for hours. I understood the tram noise and general city noise but workers at 2 am washing wasn’t nice. I also thought the hotel could offer a small breakfast hamper for your room such as croissants/ fruit / cereals / fresh orange etc.

Really great for a short stay
Excellent location for the AO arena and the city in general. Super friendly staff and efficient service. Nice and clean with very comfy beds
There is little soundproofing between the rooms and the corridors so you hear everyone going past at all hours of the night

Highly enjoyable and an excellent central base to discover Manchester
The location is close to the tram and train station, restaurants, shops and the heart of activity in Manchester. The room was opposite Manchester Cathedral and well insulated from any noise from restaurants below. The room was well laid out and spacious, with plenty of natural light. Access to other parts of Manchester is easily within walking distance.
The bed was slightly uncomfortable but improved with an extra doona from the staff. The heating control at night didn't seem to change the temperature despite altering the gauge. Neither a major issue.

Comfortable apartment in the heart of city
Very comfortable bed and good shower. great location very near from bars/músic events We really enjoyed the city. Very nice historic building. Good foodcourt inside same building. Helpful kitchen with washdisher, even if you are not going to cook so much during a city break, you feel like home.
Bit hot room during night. Coffee is not the best, but nice croissants.

Good stay for a city break
Spacious, clean and comfortable. Lovely building
The double bed is pressed against the wall, so whoever sleeps at that side, has to climb over the other person to get out

My stay at Roomzz Manchester Victoria was enjoyable, featuring a great location and comfort.
I loved my stay at Roomzz Manchester Victoria for its prime location, surrounded by a variety of bars and amazing restaurants that made exploring the city a breeze. The friendly staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive, enhancing my overall experience. The room was fabulous—spacious, modern, and very comfortable, providing a perfect retreat after a day out. I enjoyed my time so much that I chose to extend my stay by an extra night!
One aspect I didn't like was that my room was located at the back, and while I thought a room at the front might have provided a nicer view, I can't say it was a significant drawback to my overall experience.

Will definitely book again for stays in Manchester.
The location was perfect; the room/mini apartment was beautiful and even had a lovely view. Very quiet, despite being in the city.

Really nice apartments, right in the centre of Northern Quarter, at a great price.
Very friendly check in, even at 1am, the rooms were a nice size, very quiet (I was on an internal room, facing the inside), good facilities and comfy bed. Free croissant and cuppa in the morning
Wasn't anything I didn't like

Great location, great rooms just a few things to be improved
Location is amazing, rooms are very nice with work space, dining area, nice kitchen and nice bathroom. Nice extras like coffee and croissants available and staff are very friendly.
I was there 3 nights, not once did someone come to clean the room, or. change towels or toilet paper of which we ran out. Pillows are completely flat and very uncomfortable.

Excellent location, we would go back.
Excellent location next to Arndale shopping centre and the Exchange Square tram stop. Very helpful staff, collected packages delivered before our arrival and stored luggage for us on the last night. The room was spacious with several chairs and plenty of sockets. Thick blackout curtains on both windows and excellent soundproofing - even though we were on the first floor overlooking Exchange Square and several restaurants below our window.
The bathroom could have been cleaner and the shower and sink were both clogged. The room is only made up once during your stay for stays 3-7 nights and we were provided with only one new set of towels even though there were two people staying in the room.

An absolute cosy room with everything you need … close to the shops and the food courtyard
Location was key…. But well and truly pleased by the whole ambiance of the hotelzzz … underfloor heating in the bathroom was a real treat … the kitchenette was well equipped … the bed was really comfortable

Overall an amazing place. the interior is really special and would certainly recommend.
Location is really central in Manchester. The room I had had a separate kitchen/lounge and bedroom which was great. Bed really comfy. Kitchen had everything you need. Really really clean everywhere.
The heating was far too warm and unable to control to reduce temperature. Staff not particularly helpful in addressing this but it was 3am when it was raised so probably little they could do at that time.

Absolutely fabulous
This place is fantastic. By far the best I’ve found in Manchester. Gorgeous rooms in a beautiful building. I was so impressed. A little bit more expensive than others, but by far the best. I’ve stayed in 4 other hotels each month and this is my favourite. I won’t be going anywhere else. Prime location
Nothing, it was fab

Very central with friendly staff and kitchen facilities in the studios plus a free breakfast from the lobby - the coffee is not great though
Asked for a specific room, which they were unable to do. However, the room I had was the furthest possible from the lift with some additional steep steps, which I didn't appreciate as I had a heavy case.

A super convenient and comfortable stay with everything we needed in a great location!
We had a fantastic stay at Roomzzz Manchester Victoria. The location is perfect – really central and within easy walking distance to lots of great places to eat, as well as super close to the AO Arena, which was ideal for our concert night. Even though all the restaurants were closed by the time we got back, it was great that we could still grab some snacks from reception – really handy! The room itself was really well-appointed and had everything we needed – from an ironing board to a microwave, plates, bowls, and more. The shower was excellent and the room was incredibly quiet, which made for a great night’s sleep. Would definitely stay again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Manchester!

Fabulous Hotel :)
The room was fabulous! So spacious and had everything you could need. We were impressed by the size of the fridge and thought it was cool that it had a freezer compartment too! We liked how many utensils were available to use like glasses etc. Plenty of mirrors for us to do our makeup etc in (there was 3 of us). The location is fantastic if you're seeing a show at AO Arena as its a short walk away. The staff at reception were also lovely when checking us in and out. Would definitely stay again and very affordable :)
Only thing I could suggest is having a comfier sofa bed, the metal frame was quite sharp and visible, also the mattress was a bit lumpy. Still slept okay though!

Beware parking officers looking to issue violations. Otherwise, the hotel was in a great location.
The location was fantastic. The hotel was clean and safe.
I was issued a parking violation while checking into the hotel (gone from car for 5 minutes). Afterward, it was apparent that a parking officer was staking out this specific zone, in order to issue violations. VERY DISAPPOINTING.
