9/10 Wonderful! (1,118 reviews)
In general the hotel is nice. Lifts are quick, if a little confusing, because of the need to validate each upward journey. Breakfast was good as was the view. The air-con was insufficient to maintain a nice temperature with a winter duvet so I slept on top of the duvet so as to not overheat. My main complaint is that I booked a twin and got a double handicapped suite! The suite was nice but having to sleep with my adult son did not make me or him happy. For that reason sleep was intermittent, however, the bed itself was comfortable. Other issue was that the recommended parking (Printworks) is about a block away and is not dead cheap. If it's raining then getting your luggage to and from your car will be a issue. We were lucky.

Beautiful and fun themed hotel with charming and whimsical decor that was delightful. So much thought went into "treehouse" decor of the room and hotel in general. Was very pleasantly surprised. Hotel staff very helpful and kind.

First time staying in Manchester and first time at the "The Alan" in both cases it will not be the last. Fantastic hotel with great rooms, friendly staff (Jeff) and really good breakfast. Quality bed, quality towels and simple layout to the room. Staff were amazing and very helpful and the location of the hotel could not be better for exploring Manchester.

Pike O' Stickle is the site of a Stone Age axe factory. Archaeologists have found discarded axe heads strewn on the scree which descends into the valley below. A kind of prehistoric rubbish dump for axe makers. Years ago people used the scree as a quick descent route to the valley floor. It's very much frowned upon nowadays and the scree is much depleted. I wonder how Stone Age man returned to the valley without walking boots to keep dry and safe.
