9.6/10 Exceptional! (77 reviews)

We had a fantastic stay at The Treehouse Manchester. The location is great, right in the city centre with all stores and restaurants within working distance. The hotel is literally brand new, only open 3-months prior to our stay. Our twin queen room was nice and spacious with the comfy beds!
