You get what you pay for and nothing more. I knew I was paying less for a windowless room and what I got was not so much a room but a roomy closet, which was fair enough. Bed was clean and comfy with tea kettle and supplies. I slept fine which was all I wanted. Hotel is manged quite well and it is located right in the center of the city near the train station so I recommend it to budget-conscious travelers.

Desperately in need of an update.

A very dated hotel. It was a cold day and my room was freezing. A small freestanding electric heater was the only source of warmth, and it couldn’t compete with the draft coming in from the poorly insulated window. I attempted to run a hot bath to warm up, but the water wasn’t hot enough. Slept in my jumper, wearing ear plugs to cut out the noise from a nearby club (until at least 3 am). I didn’t stay around for breakfast, but from a brief look at the communal areas the rest of the hotel looked similarly outdated. It’s possible I was unlucky with my room, but I won’t be giving this place a second chance.

Convenient location to central Manchester attractions. Friendly, polite staff. Easy, swift booking process. However, pillow in room gave me pain in my neck and also my partner's neck. TV is also located not opposite the bed, making it difficult and inconvenient to watch. 3*/5

The hotel is horrible. The room had no windows and the walls were full of damp and mold. I stayed just one night, but id never stay again. The decor was incredibly poor and the staff were lacking in English. Everything, drinks etc had to be psid for by a credit card, and my partner doesnt have a card, so he couldnt pay for anything. Just a poor hotel.

We have just checked out of this hotel and I can say I will never ever return again. What an awful experience. I am currently 8 months pregnant so me and my partner booked this hotel for a nice relax before our child arrives and it has been anything but relaxing, we were put on the 5th floor and as soon as we entered the room we could hear upstairs very loudly but we didn’t mind as this was only 4pm however all throughout the night we have heard loud talking, heard them having sex and the floor boards, god it sounded like they were going to come through them!! And not to mention the window! When I booked the room I booked a no window for the simple fact we wanted to enjoy a peaceful night with no outside noise and bright light in the morning, we’ll all we have heard all night is a nightclub going on till the early hours, talking from the above guests and the curtains don’t even block the light out so we haven’t had hardly any sleep all night. The room is really dated, the pillows are like bricks and there is no phone in the room in order to ring reception to complain (this is the reason we didn’t speak with reception as we didn’t have a phone in the room and my phone had died with no charger). My partner couldn’t have a shower as there was only one towel and once he has realised he didn’t want to go down the hundreds of steps to ask for one (he doesn’t like lifts) so he has gone without a shower. Overall our experience at this hotel has been dreadful and we will not be return

Does the job for a basic room with en suite. However the beds could be comfier, very noisy building (slamming doors routinely wake you up as no soft close fittings attached to doors). Basic amenities with shower given rate £120 per night you’d expect breakfast or a fridge with bottles water etc. Fantastic period building but needs investment to bring it up to its full potential! Keep an eye out for the weekly sale on the Britannia Website to maximise your value.
