"Everything very nice, absolutely no complaints, delightful friendly staff. The breakfast however, not worth complaining about, was the biggest disappointment, therefore minus one star. Lack lustre, Luke warm, floppy barely cooked bacon, dried out scrambled eggs, (had better in Premier Inns.) and cutlery that needed at least one more flush through the dishwasher. Thankfully as someone who doesn’t ever eat breakfast and sampled it, as it was included in the price and I had missed dinner the previous evening, it didn’t really matter. Therefore left a full plate of food. But if breakfast was my ‘Meal of the day’ , I would have left absolutely underwhelmed."

10/10 Excellent
"We loved the Edwardian! The staff were amazing and couldn't have been more helpful. Everyone is so happy and pleasant. Breakfast was great and the coffees are lovely. The hotel is in a great location for nights out, bars, restaurants etc. The rooms are brilliant and have an iron and ironing board, Nespresso machine, fridge etc. which some don't have. The spa is great, the pool, gym, sauna and steam room are excellent and was a wonderful place to celebrate our anniversary. The restaurant and bars look amazing although we didn't eat there. There's a lovely champagne bar too. The changing rooms at the spa were lovely and there are large beds to relax near the pool I saw a couple of small areas in the pool area that need plastering to retain the high class finish that is so obvious everywhere else throughout the hotel (I noticed this near to the water/drinks because I'm a tradey and no one else might've and it's small! I'd have done it if I'd have had my trowel ;) We will 100% be going again. This is now our favourite place in Manchester and worth every penny."
