Lovely botanical Victorian theme

Absolutely gorgeous building! I am a plant lover and to see so many real plants everywhere and trees gave the hotel a really warm atmosphere. The cleaniliness of the building is 10/10. All staff look happy and are friendly. Only things we would say was not the best was the mattress and the double bed was very small. Food 8/10 we had room service for tea and breakfast in bed was absolutely lovely cant fault it. I visted the in house florist shop aswell, absolutely lovely lady who tends to all the plants with her team in the hotel. Great prices bought a lovely bunch. We had a little problem with our sink that was rectified within 10 minutes and the maitenance man was very pleasant. Bar area great, prices ok typical manchester prices. 15 minute walk to the opera house and if visiting the palace theatre 5 minute. Great restaurants fast food and shops. Parking in whitworth ncp really easy and 20 pound paid at the hotel for 24 hours.

My room was upgraded to a quieter room which was lovely but the room was accessible access and as an able bodied person i found it difficult to use. I asked to change rooms but was only offered my original noisy room. Had to have maintenance up for issues with but the hotel didnt seem to care. Disappointing for a hotel where we were sponsoring an event.

Beautiful Hotel - Highly Recommend

Very clean, beautiful hotel room. Very spacious, comfortable bed. Turn down service was unexpected but a nice touch. Nice extra touches - bath salts and snacks. Decor of the room and hotel was gorgeous throughout. Breakfast was well set out and delicious. We had a drink in the Refuge bar too, which is stunning and relaxing. All the staff we encountered were very friendly and polite especially Sharon at Reception- fantastic customer service. Can’t fault anything- absolutely fabulous hotel.
