This is a simple and basic accommodation that is good for a short weekend trip. The staff are efficient and there is a good bar and dining area. The staff in the bar are very friendly and helpful, proving ice and water for you to take back to your room. However, there were a few stains on the carpet and a few hairs left in the shower. This is a good place for sleeping, it is not loud and you can reach main city areas easily. Best if you are planning to be out for most of your visit.

The room itself was very clean and had everything we needed for our overnight stay. The breakfast was mostly great with lots of choice (though it could have used some cut fruit and done away with the salad items) The only downside were the staff - in particular the female receptionist we initially encountered who clearly was not happy to be customer facing and who had no patience for the fact that her speech was very difficult to understand due to a strong accent. A shame because otherwise our stay was great, but she really made checking in a needlessly stressful experience.

It's an odd place, an odd set up. Check-in is a bit farcical as they insist on your qr code link and registering whilst they stand there waiting. Then that registration needs N official ID, passport or driving licence etc, then you realise you can enter 12345678 a d that is ok. Rooms are decent a d decent sized, no kettle, and cleen shower pod. The blocks housing LL the rooms are odd, hostel feel. Saying all that, they are good value. So there you go

Slow and clunky check in. Didn’t know I needed ID for this either - luckily I had my licence on me. Also issues with card machines not working.

Directions to the room were poor. I was left with a couple who were equally confused. Finally found our part of the hotel. Mental it is so close to the first building but poor directions and signage made it seem more difficult than it should have been.

The room itself was good. Decent size comfy bed. Shame no kettle but there was a smart tv and hair dryer. Shower was pretty powerful too which I liked.

Hotel location is great and I would stay again - now I know where all the hotel is!

To start I was treated so bad when I didn't have any ID to check in the lady at check out was rude and advised me nothing she could do and to move away for others to check in I eventually got a photo that was excepted but as a UK citizen that doesn't drive I don't see why I needed to have id to check in I then had to give a fair amount of details which again I've booked online you have my details why do I need to provide more including nationality? When in the room air con didn't work and it was boiling no kettle for tea or coffee no tea and coffee either lol bed had a massive stain on sheets and was gross the place was also housing migrants that was smoking weed outside the entrance and nearly every time I passed them had to explain that I did not want to buy anything from them was a joke I didn't think this place was anywhere as good as a travel lodge and that's saying something might just be my experience but was great being in china town

My own personal frustration was with the fact that the room had no tea/coffee making facilities.
This seems to be going from a lot of hotels. That is a pity, it makes the room more homely and comforting to me. Apart from that, I had a very enjoyable overnight stay. Thank you.

Despite quiet, reasonably clean rooms, I would never go back to the a&o Manchester for 2 reasons. First, the hotel is clearly trying to offload onto guests work that receptionists should be doing. At check in, I was told to scan a QR code and fill out an online form on my phone before the receptionist would even interact with me. It was annoying and, for those of us whose fingers don't fly over phone keyboards (I was 47 when the first smartphone came out), both slow and painful. They are clearly minimizing staff, and it shows in other places, like trash left outside rooms not getting picked up. Second, the room toilet is in a cubicle with a door, separate from the sink. that forces people who have just defecated to handle a doorknob before they can wash their hands. It's unsanitary, unacceptable, and a great way to spread disease. Don't stay at this hotel.

We got in and the staff couldn’t find the second room on our reservation so we were stuck in the lobby for a whim which delayed our dinner plans.

Additionally, there was no access to facilities like an iron which really wasn’t useful. The staff referred to the place as a hostel which was a cause of panic and confusion as we’d definitely not booked a hostel.

All in all I didn’t think the entire experience was great for the money we’d paid.

The only reason this didn’t get 1 star is because of the location. It’s great.

That’s where it ends. The room was filthy. Hairs and grime all in the bathroom and in the shower. Not to mention it was like Bambi on ice when stepping into the shower because there’s no grip, it’s a claim waiting to happen when someone slips.

The air conditioning might as well have been none existent. It’s not typically something you need in the uk but when you do it’s needed and all this did was blow slightly less than warm air and make the entire room smell damp as hell.

When arriving the staff at the desk were actually super rude, I was so shocked it literally left me speechless.

It’s a shame as I’d stayed at this properly last year when it was under a different company and it was fantastic, super friendly staff, a bar on site and truthfully I could overlook the lack of coolness to the air conditioning when the rest of the room was actually suitable.

Since a&o took over it seems to have gone completely downhill, house 2 as they call it, is literally like a building site when first entering, front desk in house one and bar blocked off by literal metal outdoor fences and from the outside the windows are also the same so you can’t even see in and I actually did think it was a building site from the street.

So I went to the hotel and tried to check in and yhe whole system was down and they couldn't check me in. This resulted in me having to try and find another hotel in the evening in Manchester whilst there was a big Housing event on. Really not ideal that there was no back up or contingency plan for check it

The hotel and room was ok, but the check in was quite officious. I wasn't made aware in advance that I would need to bring some form of formal ID - good job I had my driving licence with me. I dread to think what the consequences would have been had I not!

The room was OK, but no kettle or drinks making facilities - not even a cup (plastic or otherwise). If you can place a fridge in the room, then I'm sure it's not to much to have a kettle or a cup in it. The hotel markets itself as a cross between a hotel and a hostel, but it's essentially a hotel as you have a private room. At well over £100 per night (excl breakfast) it wasn't great value compare to a proper hostel.

The unique thing about this property was the location, location, location! You can literally walk anywhere. I suggest the bus because it’s cheaper or you can walk. The food and convenience is the best. The room is big but the bathroom is nice but it reminds me of cruise bathrooms but fancier. The Serta mattress top tier and I slept well. Make sure you have your key card to use for the elevator and turn the lights on in the room (which reminds me of a cruise). The light white switch by the outlets will allow you to use the power or your adapter.

Please inform people in advance to register for check-in. That last minute part when you’ve been waiting for some hours can be annoying. Other than that all was well!

Furniture in the room was tired, stained and needed replacing. No tea and coffee making facilities in the room, not even a glass was provided in the bathroom for drinking water! Breakfast was very average, buffet style with cooked breakfast which comprised of sausages, beans and hash browns , no bacon!! Would I stay here again?, no.

I was pleasantly surprised by the standard of the hotel. Basic facilities but clean and well organised. We were in house 2, which was round the corner from the main reception building. We found it quiet and clean in the rooms. There was no kettle/drinks facilities which was mildly frustrating after a long day and first thing in the morning as we had to wait to go back into the first building to get a drink with breakfast. Breakfast was a buffet, not quite as extensive as some hotels, but good and the staff were working hard to keep tables clean and everything restocked. As a budget option, this had everything we needed for a one night city centre stay.

Check in took ages but more because of timing of a bus load of people arriving at the same time.

Road was spacious and clean. The toilet being separated from shower wasn’t for me especially if no sink in the loo.

Don’t use the vending machine at the front desk. Was told I’d get the balance of a £15 deposit back but didn’t and had to complain after.

You get what you pay for though and it’s still got a budget feel at check in but the room was quiet and decent so was happy overall.

The queue for check-in was rather long and extended out of the door! They could have benefitted from having more staff on the desk.
The room was in the building across the passageway from the main building and that ground floor bar was closed for the entire length of our stay.
The bedroom was quiet even though it was facing busy Portland Street. There were no tea or coffee-making facilities in the room, so bring your own if you have to have your hot beverage fix!
The bathroom was clean and functional with a pleasant shower and qualities toiletries.
The location was ideal for the Manchester Half Marathon as the start was literally just around the corner.
The later check-out on a weekend allowed for a shower after the race before departing.
Overall, a clean pleasant room in a very cental location.

Stayed here for a night as I was attending a conference nearby. Check-in took a while, but I could have completed the form in advance and it probably wasn't as long as it felt after a long journey. Great location, small but tidy room, and fairly comfy bed. Not sure what more you want?!

Breakfast menu had good variety, would've liked bacon and eggs in the hot section (don't like messing around with peeling boiled eggs). Room was clean and adequate. Check in and out was easy - no faffing. Easy access to free buses and taxi pick up right outside. Bar open 24/7 for residents. All round good value.

The location is good and not too far from train stations and the central library and Piccadilly.

You have to scan a QR code to check in which I never had to do elsewhere, this took people ages and there was big queue at check in due to taking everyone so long. It does not save anyone else time and all the check in staff were just waiting around ready for people to complete the check in process on their phones.

The rooms are a good size and had 2 single type camp beds and a double bed, depends if someone would be ok on the camp beds for an extended period of time. No tea or coffee making facilities in the rooms which was a surprise, they said this was because they offer cheaper rates and that is why they do not have them. The rates here were no cheaper than other hotels in the area when I visited.

The breakfast which is £12 was not good quality in my opinion, they had no fresh fruit such as melon other fruit you usually get elsewhere, and only boiled eggs no other eggs. So it was a little lacking and you also had to scan a QR code to enter the breakfast room which did not work. I think if the price is cheaper here compared to other hotels/hostels then it might be worth it, but overall was not as good as it could be.
