Modern hotel in a great location

Beautiful, modern hotel with a very stylish bar and restaurant. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable of the area. The room was very well equipped and the bed was really comfortable. Location of the hotel was brilliant with a tesco over the road to grab snacks and lots of bars a restaurants in walking distance. Ncp carpark is just behind the hotel, and although it’s quite expensive to park there it’s worth it because it’s so convenient. We would definitely stay here again.

Stayed here for two nights with my partner at the end of August. Room was lovely, very clean. Wished there were more utensils in the kitchenette (knives, spoons etc.) as we both enjoy cooking. Location was good, and we had easy access to Manchester city centre. The bed was extremely comfortable.
