Richard 9.0

Staff are so helpful and a credit to the hotel. Breakfast and food in general is excellent. Gym and pool are a great facility. Close to tram and the nearby Didsbury village. Recommend.

George 8.0

The room is furnished with solid wood pieces that look capable of surviving a small siege. Simple, sturdy and reassuring. Comfort was good and nothing wobbled, collapsed or complained. The staff were genuinely lovely, helpful and engaged, which is rare enough to merit a small ceremony. Having recently stayed in places staffed entirely by the chronically irritated, this was deeply appreciated. Breakfast is expensive and the ingredients are not especially distinguished. This appears to be an economic choice rather than a moral failing. This reflects in no way on the staff, who remained excellent throughout. One bedside lamp required a new bulb, and the overall lighting suggested a late-night football match rather than rest and reflection. Managing all these details must be challenging, but for many guests atmosphere matters, and lighting, heating and food are the difference between a room and an experience.

Nicholas 9.0

The spa and pool and hydrotherapy suite are worthy of 5star
