Alston Vacations from $967

Very unique. Feels a bit like a converted prison inside, but the rooms are lovely.

Lovely clean hotel. Staff on reception were brilliant. Breakfast was really good. Bed was comfy!!! Would definitely stay again.

The check-in process was slow. The room had one dining chair missing from the table and the soundproofing was not effective. I could hear the lift and also streetnoise as the window did not tightly close. The space was great and the breakfast was good.

The service from the minute I arrived was most welcoming and to a high standard. I was a solo guest and the brilliant reception staff provided me with all the key information I needed to make my stay comfortable and enjoyable and this really put my mind at rest. Cameron at Barney’s really looked after me and enabled me to order food and take it back to my room so not have to endure dining on my own. Indi and Jack also looked after me and gave me excellent service and went above and beyond to help me when I was informed at short notice on the day that Barney’s was closed for a private function. I genuinely had the best stay and would recommend to everyone. Thank you for giving me the best break.

The facilities in rooms are excellent, a fully equipped kitchen area, great bathroom, dining table and chairs, you could live their permanently as it has everything you would need. Situated two minutes from Selfridges, the Arndale Centre and bars and restaurants it is very convenient. Be aware there is a £100 deposit preauthorisation required until you have checked out and the room has been inspected. My only criticism is the bed is very hard, the option of a mattress topper would be good.
