Lovely bar / hotel that we have stayed in before however the room let the stay down completely. Definitely not a 'deluxe' room, very basic and awful generator noise from 8am - 10pm Bed very uncomfortable and lumpy

Well worth a stay

This is a pub/hotel just on the outskirts of the city centre, just a five minute walk to the Arndale Centre, I really do mean a 5 min walk as I have a false knee, breakfast is excellent and for £2 you can go large, there is a menu for evening which is very nice, and being a pub plenty to drink at proper prices, rooms are clean and well serviced and have all you need, I didn’t need to pack an iron, there is no air con but a big fan which was ample, shower and amenities excellent, I’d use this place again if it was just for the breakfast.

Good property. Had everything except a hairdryer in the room. Two bottles of water, coffee machine, kettle and iron provided. Shower was lovely. Room got hot but there was a fan in the room. No lift but that was no issue for us. Our room was two flights of stairs up. Breckfast was nice except the bacon that was cooked in a well used pan so looked a bit off putting. Drink prices are good in the pub and no noise heard from the pub itself. Very good position for shops and town. Charged 15 quid for late checkout despite email saying £10 and leaflet in the room saying £10 but still a good price. Would stay here again.

Nice staff and great location but room was extremely noisy as right next to a huge generator. Staff kindly moved me to another room which was much smaller but quieter. Quite a strong drain smell in bathroom but room was nice enough. I wouldn't stay again but for the price it was ok

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
A deathly smell in the bathroom that we complained about and then after looking on the reviews it appears that someone else complained about this as well. Clearly they do not care about that issue because they pretended to not know about it and sent up maintenance that just recommended keeping the bathroom door closed. Horrible horrible experience. Don't recommend

Tania

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The rooms are tiny, and ours had dust coating everything. There was a nasty smell coming out of the bathroom, we had to keep the fan running the entire time we were in the room. One of the staff was very friendly at breakfast, but blasted the volume of the morning TV shows. Everyone else could barely be bothered to help us. It was annoying to have to go down and up 2 flights of steep stairs to get a hair dryer, there should be one in every room. All the communications (signs and instructions) to guests were very unwelcoming - mostly about extra charges (of which there were many possibilities) rather than amenities (which were few). To be charged a 3 GBP deposit for a second key card on a double occupancy room is really stingy. The doors are heavy and tightly sprung, so guests coming in late at night can't help but announce their arrival with banging that can be heard throughout the floor. The included breakfast was ok. but again all about the extra charges and rules.

Perfect

I stayed here with my daughter as we were going to see Billie Eilish. Although the hotel is a little way out from the coop live arena, public transport links are good. On arrival we had a lovely warm greating, our room was spacious and clean with a lovely modern ensuite. Breakfast had a good selection of hot food or cereals. We did have lunch at the bar of 3 small plates between us which was quick to arrive, piping hot and delicious. I would happily stay again.
