I found the hotel to be quite comfortable and welcoming, with friendly staff making the stay pleasant. However, the location was not as vibrant as I'd hoped and required transportation to central areas. The dining experience offered good value for money. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.

I had a nice night thank you in the dormitory. The rooms are not so big, but big enough and were better than expected at a hostel. The service provided was very friendly, caring, and helpful, making it feel like being at home. The location is good, staff friendly, and for the price, it was very reasonable. The dining experience was highly recommended with a really good spread. The facilities were also great with a welcoming drink.

The hotel offers clean and spacious rooms but with a really bad view of the trash outside. It was £39 cheaper than other options in Manchester over the Easter weekend and includes free parking. The service was mostly friendly and helpful, though marred by a rude incident. The location, while not central, is convenient and close to the center. Dining was satisfactory with good value for money. Additional aspects highlight a friendly staff and a good spread of food, but some lapses in service and a less than ideal room view.

The hostel is a good option for a short stay, offering clean and comfortable rooms, friendly and professional staff, and a location that is close to public transportation and city center attractions. The dining experience is reasonable but comes with additional charges for some items. Overall, I would recommend it for a brief visit.
