Customer Reviews
My husband and I enjoyed a short break at this boutique hotel in central Manchester in June 2025. Ideally located - a quiet street with v little noise but only a 5 minute walk away from bustling bars, shops and restaurants. We enjoyed breakfast and room service within the hotel itself with a great choice offered for both. I visited their spa which is based in the adjoining building. I enjoyed a blissful massage and as a guest of the hotel was then able to stay and enjoy the other communal facilities of the spa on a complimentary basis. What probably sets this hotel apart from other boutique hotels in the area is their lovely rooftop infinity pool. With great views and open air (during the warm weather) it felt really special. Being a converted Georgian building there is only one lift (elevator) which is small. This is often in use by the hotel’s staff (housekeeping etc) so you may have to wait a little while. No parking on site but discounted parking a short walk away. The staff were really warm and friendly. Would definitely stay here again.
Cash flow alert!! Sadly, this lovely hotel does pre-authorisation on your bank card on check in - for the amount of the rooms plus £100 per person deposit. You pay on departure as normal. BUT they don't cancel the pre-authorisation! Of course this affects your available balance. We checked out on Tuesday morning, but pre-authorisation for nearly £800 wasn't removed until Friday, in spite of us contacting the hotel several times. So you need to budget for twice the cost of the hotel for 3 or 4 days. Sad, because the rooms are lovely, staff on reception and in the bar are friendly and the location is great - notably the wonderful 10 Tib Lane bar/restaurant round the corner. But this practice spoiled it for us and we'd never recommend it to friends for that reason.
A lovely night’s stay in a ‘comfy’ room. Really big bed,stylish decor, robes/slippers ,coffee machine,teas ,well stocked minibar. Spa was a relaxing way to spend the next morning after a delicious breakfast. Thoroughly enjoyable entertainment in the Tavern with a violinist playing. A special mention to the extremely friendly and helpful staff,nothing seemed too much trouble.A particular mention to the porter Tom for excellent service and to the lovely Lizzy on reception who ‘saved the day’ by helping me retrieve my concert tickets! Assets to the establishment.
