Love the breakfast and the ability to use the dining area as a second place to open laptop. Amit and Peter were Front professional and friendly and really were really kind with a complimentary breakfast for a slight mishap
May need to work on housekeeping .. came into room and felt like not cleaned properly with a floor towel on floor as wiping down of surface areas. Could be better at what’s around them .. like brunch places and pubs or bars to visit in signage .. perhaps a mini partnership
Todo, ubicación , comodidad habitación, y la cama
hotel was nice staff were friendly and accommodating
mattress was a bit uncomfortable very hard..
Le confort du lit
The location and the cleanliness
The AC was not working and the bed definitely needs replacing
Tutto, molto pulita e curata
Il prezzo forse un po’ alto, vero anche che c’era un concerto all’Arena quindi probabilmente la ragione del prezzo alto era quella.
Very comfortable and smartly finished and spacious
Wash hand basin doesn’t drain
Modern Hotel, clean
Not very much information given on check in. Just straight to taking preauthorisation of card £40. Wardrobe doors get stuck.
Nice architecture and layout
Probably the location
Close to venue we were attending, plenty of other bars and restaraunts near by.
No outside seating, for smokers etc
Location is great, the hotel is really modern and clean and our room was a good size.
Very uncomfortable flimsy bed, the mattress was thin and hard so didn’t sleep well. Also the TV was broken.
완전 번화가랑 가까운 위치 플릭스 버스 바로 앞에 있어요

Excellent breakfast, friendly staff, clean and comfy and modern
Great location, modern and clean
Struttura moderna, pulita, ottimi servizi. Posizione strategica per il centro
Camere piccole e colazione eccessivamente costosa
الموقع
عدم تنظيف الغرفة بشكل جيد وعند التنظيف لا يتم ترتيب السرير ولا غسل الأكواب المستخدمة يتركونها كما هي ليقوم النزيل بغسل الأكواب
The room was big, location was great to get anywhere and breakfast was super
The shower wasn't great, it for so slippery and I nearly lost my footing. So all the water would come out of shower so I had to put extra towels on the floor
Whole experience was great.
Nothing
They have basic basic accessories like toothbrush, paste, cream and all that, just incase you forget yours. It really helped me cos I couldn't find mine the day I checked in until I traveled to Liverpool, and I saw it down my Box. Trumps Up for that!!!

Great location, always greeted with a smile in the lobby. Staff couldn’t be more helpful
The location was perfect, staff were polite and the food was delicious
It was great the bar and restaurant area staff were friendly and very clean everywhere
No where to hang towels to try only one hook in the bathroom . Hung mine over chair in room . Had wash bag that hangs had no where to put it . Lighting poor and no dressing table to be able to dry hair or make up .It is a business man’s hotel in the bedrooms as none of the above for women . The car park full for 2 days out of 3 had to park a distance away
availqbility of dual room n sofa bed
no lock in toilet
Perfect
Nothing it was great
اتعس فندق مر علي من جميع النواحي لايوجد احد يحمل الحقائب عند الوصول فقط يعطونك الترولي وانت تخدم نفسك واذا طلبت من خدمة الغرف اي شي انت تنزل الرسبشن وتاخذه بنفسك والازعاج الي بالغرف بسبب عدم وجود عوازل كأنهم قاعدين معاك بنفس الغرفة واطلالة الغرفة كانت على مكان تجميع حاويات الزبالة وكل يوم الفجر صوت سيارات الزبالة تحمل الاغراض ومانقدر ننام من ازعاجهم وجرس الانذار مدة 3 ايام يشتغل الساعة 8 الصبح ويصيحون بالمكرفون يجب مغادرة الغرفة وبعدها يقولون لا خلاص ما فيه شي

Lovely Location, Rooms were perfect

It looked exactly like the pictures and the staff were friendly and very accommodating when it came to the issues we had with no wifi connection in my room and gave us a free upgrade and switched our rooms.
The room we were originally put in didn’t have any signal and the hotel wifi didn’t work in the room as well.
Great access to city centre. Helpful staff. Lovely breakfast and facilities very good.

This was my second time staying here, and it lived up to my expectations once again. The hotel is well-located, clean, and has friendly staff. It's everything you need for a quick overnight stay
All good
Clean, good staff
The TV was outdated. Wasn’t able to play YouTube or Netflix. Also, for what you get, the pricing is a bit steep.
Clean.
Lots of marks and scuffs all over the room, chair damaged.

Clean, staff friendly, great location
I reported that the TV was not working within an hour of checking in, as it was a Sunday we were advised no maintenance team was available, however l was not offered a resolution - i.e no alternative room? Reduction on the cost of the stay due to all room facilities not available? - at least have the discussion with me. l can only mark the stay as average as customer service was lacking.
The hotel was close to everything you would want or need in Manchester. Literally on the doorstep of the city centre.
The only negatives I have is the food was a little below standard. Unfortunately I found a hair in my meal when I ordered room service and I noticed a hair in the potatoes in the breakfast buffet. As you can imagine this was instantly off putting.
Stayed over the bank holidays weekend for leisure. Hotel was clean, comfortable and in a convenient location. Staff were friendly and the check-in and checkout process was painless. Would definitely stay again.
amazing staff, bar, room and facilities

Close to City Centre. Quiet Clean
Great location in the Northern Quarter. Spacious room and modern decor.
Very noisy hotel. We could hear people in other rooms and we were in the room opposite the lift and directly above main doors so disturbed a lot during our two night stay. Shower was badly marked- it had been covered by the bath mat.

The parking was not as advertised and I had to pay in a downtown garage
Trevlig personal och promenadavstånd till centrala london
Störande trafik från gatan utanför och ingen AC på rummet gjorde att det var väldigt varmt och levde om på nätterna
Πολύ καλή τοποθεσία Άμεση πρόσβαση παντού Άνετα δωμάτια
All of it the customer service was amazing and the room exceeded my expectations and everything overall was wonderful even the location was very nice. The room is exactly as the pictures. Very spacious and I decorated it for a birthday. They accept Amazon parcels
Could include toothpaste
The bed was very comfortable and the facilities were all clean and high quality.
Its a short and walkable distance to the city centre which is good, but the entrance area seems a bit sketchy.

Excellent hotel which was very clean. Staff were very helpful throughout our stay.
The mattress was very firm which might be great for some people but wasn’t the best for me.
The location, staff, rooms are amazing. Very easy to get around. Sonali especially is very helpful. Highly recommend!
Everything.
The staff were great. The breakfast although a bit expensive was very good. Room very good
The noise from a nearby club which played loud music until the early hours. And we were on the top floor!!
I was skeptical at first when booking a one-night stay for a Friday eve. I didn’t know much about the hotel and had never really heard any marketing or buzz around it. But I was pleasantly surprised it was really nice and clean, with large rooms and a lovely reception area. I also didn’t know they had a fitness room, which, if I’d known beforehand, I most likely would have packed some activewear and got a workout in. But yes, I’d definitely recommend staying here. It’s near the Northern Quarter, which is a very quirky part of Manchester, I’d say it’s the Soho of Manchester, if that’s your thing. It’s also well connected to the rest of the city, and a lot of places are even walkable.
N/A succeeded expectations
The environment was fine and meet my expectation. The staff are good and the food was nice. I was treated well and I love the repeat my visit there again.
Nothing. I love the way I was treated. The kitchen (Lunch and Dinner) menu as a visitor did not meet my expectation
Comfy bed, great shower
Air conditioning was advertised but didn’t work, we were offered a fan instead.
Lovely staff very reasonably priced and very comfortable
Quieter location, room was beautifully presented and clean through out. Beds were comfortable. The atmosphere at breakfast and the breakfast itself was divine. Staff on site and available to support where needed. Thank you for a lovely stay
Very modern, clean and quiet
Area was a little run down, lots of people hanging around, and no parking on site
Everything
Nothing
Good location, excellent price.
Good location
The bed had a lumpy mattress topper and the pillows seems old and lumpy aswell. Biggest concern was the amount of undesirables that lingered with cans of alcohol outside the front of the hotel. Not great and the staff didn’t seem to move them on. This is quite dangerous for people staying alone and young women. Would not stop again, good location but down a side street so didn’t feel safe entering and leaving with a bunch of grown scruffy looking men drinking at the side of the entrance.
The beds, the bathroom,
Location was good
The off site parking at the print works cost £26 for over night parking. Also its happy hour between 3-7pm 20% off beers, cocktails etc and I asked the guy at 3.30pm for a cocktail menu and he said cocktails start at 4pm when the bartender shows up.. so no cocktail haha
Front of house staff were lovely
clean
Super clean, very friendly staff
Pillows
I liked that this hotel was right in the center . It was near variety of shops at a walkable distance. Beautiful hotel . Lovely beds and pillows comfortable. Love the coffee machine in my room . I was impressed when I saw toothbrush &shaving stick and toothpaste in the bathroom which could be handy if you forgot to pack. Nice soft towels aswell. Loved that the check out times are reasonable aswell. With where its at I think its a decent price .
Our rooms were a bit dusty . Mostly in the window area on the tables. I travelled with 2 of my friends, and their twin room had a broken latch on the connecting room door, and the door wouldn't lock . We informed the staff , and they rectified the situation by locking the door with a master key . There was no coffee machine in there . No toothbrush either, whereas mine had . At 8 am on a sunday morning, i woke up to the doors bangin .There was constant banging as if someone kept going in and out of a room . I couldn't hear the traffic from outside, but I could hear people talking in the hallway. The lighting also wasn't the best. There wasn't enough of it.
We had an amazing time staying at the AC HOTEL from the complimentary drinks in the fridge, to a good working shower can’t fault the place would deffo stay again.
Not worth the money.uncomfortable beds, no smart tv, only instant coffee and 1 tea bag. The only good thing is the location. And crap pillows. Very disappointing
This hotel is tired and cheap looking. Not worth nearly £100 a night. No smart tv? No coffee pods in room? Bed like a camp bed!! Cheap pillows!!
Hotel was very clean. Pleasant staff. Walking distance to city centre.
Couldn't see any vegetarian sausage for breakfast
Location Nice room
great
Very clean, the staff were lovely and got a free upgrade. Would definitely stay here again.

Location & vibe
We requested a side room but instead got a room with a broken tv and unlocked connecting door in the room - being told there were no side rooms available . Later to be moved to a side room that was much better overall ..
Very polite staff, clean rooms and very accessible to the city.
Nothing everything was amazing.
The hotel is so central and convenient. The staff were beyond helpful and couldn’t have been nicer. We were even allowed early check in and late check out, without any issues.
The location was superb and the environs excellent, Myself and my family had a wonderful experience at the hotel. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and professional, the room was clean and comfortable, and the overall service was excellent. I truly enjoyed my stay and would happily recommend the hotel to others.
I was disappointed that my security deposit was not returned promptly after checking out. I expected the deposit to be refunded once it was confirmed that there were no damages or outstanding charges. I would appreciate a clear explanation for the delay and the prompt return of my deposit.
