What a beautiful building, well maintained and preserved. Check in/out was simple, with staff who were warm, approachable and humorous. Our gent went to great lengths to let us know that we were staying in "The best hotel in the world". The food was amongst the best I have had during my 60 years of travel and the breakfast selection was vast. My only slight grumble was that there did not appear t be a welcome book in the room, so we had to fumble our way through the coffee machine and could not find a suitable plug socket for the kettle, without getting on hands and knees under a heavy table, to use the coffee machine one. I had to specifically request a shower cap too. (This was delivered to the room shortly after though). I will definitely be staying here again.

A great place to stay in Manchester.
From check in to check out we couldn’t fault the staff and my only reservation was the number of stairs that had to be climbed/descended to get to and from reception. On the positive side staff took care of heavy luggage and we really enjoyed the social free drinks every afternoon from 5pm. Breakfast was excellent and out room was very comfortable, but not sound proofed and our first night was interrupted by noises from the room next door.

This is a beautiful building and the staff, service and food match this. We only ate breakfast here but it was fantastic quality. Delicious cooked breakfast, well cooked with quality ingredients.
