Sarah 8.0

Great location to Trafford centre nice room and nice staff

Clark 8.0

Breakfast was reasonable - cereal, fruit juice and warm food. All were plentiful.

Dominik 9.0

The hotel has a very convenient location, close to a shopping centre and a tram stop, and only about 15 minutes by taxi from the airport. The beds in the room were very comfortable and we slept really well. We had a small issue with the bathroom lighting, but it was fixed quickly after we reported it. The lady at the reception was very helpful and even gave us a phone charger, as we did not have an adapter for the UK plug standard

Bertypants 8.0

Great communication with staff via booking.com messaging. We were running late and they kept in touch to reassure me I could check in at any time. Beds comfy, very clean.

The staff were extremely helpful , the hotel was clean and the room had everything we needed. The location was fantastic for the Trafford centre and city centre with metro outside to access the city. We stayed for my hubby birthday and the receptionist gave him a free drinks voucher which was a lovely touch.
