      Couldn't fault it”

      We spent the night at the Pendulum as we had a night out planned. Great location, car park just round the corner. We chose one of the compact rooms as it was just a place to rest our heads. Nonetheless it was warm, clean and comfortable. All staff were very friendly and accomodating. Will definitely book again when we are back in Manchester.

      Great staff, but needs some attention. ”

      First of all, location is very good, just a short walk from Picadillly. We walked to most places we needed to go to. We booked a twin, little did we know it was Gay Pride weekend. The reception area was decorated accordingly, and staff joined in with rainbow ties etc., seemed genuinely warm. Room was OK, beds on slightly small and soft side, but more than adequate. All in all, I enjoyed my stay, it was not without some grievence. Shampoo and conditioner are fixed to wall. Ok if the dispenser function works, but it didn’t. Unscrewed top and switched with conditioner. Left broken unit out thinking cleaning staff will replace with working unit, but they just screwed broken one back in (note to self, memtion it to reception staff next time!! My bad). The bar garden would be a nice place to relax and spend time IF someone emptied the full ashtrays. The three days we were there no one bothered. Kind of a pity. Not huge issues, but would have worth an extra star.

      Accommodations in Manchester are not cheap, so if you're looking for a reasonable-priced place that's clean, with friendly staff and a fantastic location, this might be the place! The facility is kind of worn out and really could use a complete makeover, but they seem to be caring for it the best that they can. Breakfast was very good.

      Convenient location as a central hotel. Parking at Charles street in multi-storey car park for £4.00 overnight during the weekend. Comfortable bed, heating was a but of a struggle as you can only set it up for 2 or 4 hrs, so by morning it is pretty cold. Bath is very narrow (i am one of those very skinny people) but every time I turned around, i banged my hips into the shower gel holder or got the shower curtain stuck on my back. Sunday early morning a very loud music was coming from the hotel lobby and woke us up (highest floor room). Did the job

      Ideal option for me as was attending conference in same building the day after. 5 min walk from train station, friendly efficient staff. Only niggle is the toilets don't flush great ! I fed this back and was told, it's a known thing !

      This hotel is actually a university conference centre. Initially, I thought this might not be a good hotel - actually it was fine, even if some of the woodwork in the rooms need a varnish. Good value breakfast. Would stay again

      A great little room!”

      Had the compact room but it still felt pretty big! Stayed for 2 nights to visit a nearby convention. Room was lovely and clean and would DEFINITELY stay again! Only downsides are the slamming of doors in the corridors but that really can't be helped. Solid 9/10 :)

      Good for solo”

      Really enjoyed staying here as a solo traveler. Was totally adequate for what I needed. Cozy little room. Was comfy and warm. I liked having a private little room without all the excess and expense of a full hotel. Walking distance to main train stations, food and drink.

      Nice modern room, although some of the fixtures a bit tired or need mending. Clean enough apart from the carpet. Comfy bed. Staff polite. I'd stay again for the right price.
