The Alan Manchester

Absolutely gem of a find. The hotel is contemporary in designs which is nice and comforting. Very spacious hall entry with beautiful marbled flooring. The staff are a great credit to the hotel very pleasant and make you feel relaxed and welcoming. The service is spot on hassle free and always staff around to assist whenever needed. Kai is extremely professional and lovely he really does go out of his way to assit and make sure your happy. Top lad and a great asset to the hotel! Toilets are very clean and accessible. The also have a lift entry to the building to. Bar and food is amazing and you can watch the chefs cook which I find is really fun and intresting to watch. Extremely clean and the staff abide by food hygiene regulations which us good to see. The rooms are spacious and the beds are very comfy. Teas and coffee in the room where great to. Bathroom and room where extremely clean and bath towels of a good quality.

I had a fantastic experience at this hotel! From the moment I arrived, the staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive, making check-in smooth and hassle free. The room was spotless, beautifully furnished, and very comfortable exactly what I needed! The breakfast was delicious, with plenty of variety and fresh options. Overall, I highly recommend this hotel and look forward to returning. 😊

Total Catfish Hotel From the minute you walk in, this place looks stunning - the reception and restaurant are spotless and really modern. But as soon as we got up to our room on the fourth floor… wow. Totally different story. Brown carpet, green walls, cracks all over the bathroom, old wooden beds, ancient TV - it honestly felt like a completely different hotel. Don’t get me wrong, it was clean, but nothing like the photos online. Next morning we woke up to our bathroom completely flooded because of the cracks. Brown water all over the tiles. We told reception and they just moved us to another room with barely an apology. The new room was closer to what they show online, but still not great. The shower was freezing cold, water all over the bathroom floor again, and dirt in the sink. Just not what we thought we’d booked. We spoke to a few guests who were also staying on both the fourth, third and second floors who all said the same. Disappointing. Honestly, the place looks the part when you walk in, but once you’re in the rooms it’s a total letdown. Definitely won’t be staying here again.

Brilliant hotel, loved the decor in the lobby. The room was clean and cozy. Staff were so sweet and helpful and let us store our luggage after check out so we could do more sight seeing before heading out of the city. Thanks so much!

We stayed for 2 nights. The staff were amazing really helpful and friendly. The breakfast was freshly made and plenty of it. A relaxing atmosphere. The industrial finish to the rooms was fantastic. Couldn't praise it high enough would definitely stay again and recommend to people.

The hotel itself is brilliant. After being switched from a classic room (which I wouldn’t recommend), my room was amazing. Clean, simple and exactly what you need – really impressed. The downside were the staff. Noise complaints weren’t handled well. Fair enough it was a bank holiday weekend but there didn’t seem to be much consideration for guests trying to rest. Staff not good. Didn’t represent the hotel well when handling guest requests, breakfast or even baggage holding. Overall though, I’d still recommend it – great design, great rooms, just let down on service.

Jeff and Yasmine was so welcoming beyond expectations and this made our stay pleasant. The hotel has a industrial look, along with marble floors and part brick walls in a comfortable spacious bar and reception area and bedrooms. The breakfast was fantastic so much choice and of a high standard. All the staff need to be appraised as they were so helpful over are 2 days

We spent one night at The Alan Manchester. The atmosphere/vibe was upper class industrial. The bed was large and comfortable. The rooms were clean which, for me, is priority #1. They had room amenities which included tea, hot chocolate, shampoo/conditioner/body wash etc. There wasn’t a pool, laundry or gym that I saw but I didn’t look either. They had breakfast included with the room and it was delicious. The employees were polite and helpful. They also had a place to leave our bags after we checked out while we explored Manchester. Prices were good for the area. I’d definitely recommend this as a great option.

Pretty nice hotel with a 24 hour fitness center. Great location! Very close to tram, buses and local shopping like Primark, Chinatown etc. The lobby and bar are modern looking, but my room wasn't. However, my room was nice, clean and spacious. No free breakfast though, but the staff was superb!

The Princess St. Hotel has a lot of good and some I don't like, personally. Although I was here on 'business' and not in charge of booking this hotel and it's likely unfair to this hotel that I am comparing it to where my company once booked us. That said, that's just the way it goes when reviewing! The hotel, itself, is located in a great, convenient area. It's walkable to Piccadilly Gardens and various shopping like Boots and the ever loved by every American I ever knew, ( not me!), Primark. Great pubs and eateries abound and the arena isn't far, either. Upon arriving you will tote your own luggage up about 6 stairs, as there was no ramp or bell man. The lobby level is modern in a disco sort of way, as is the bar and restaurant below. Andre is great though and me and my colleagues loved him during a recent visit where he explained some of the 'futbol' rules to us during the Fifa World Cup England/Colombia game. Happy Hour is a good one. The gym is modern and nice. My room, hmm.. not so modern. I had a hard time finding plugs! I was unplugging appliances and plugging my two items in! I even moved the tea pot to heat water to the floor since it was there in the most random place and a UK plug. The shower took me forever to figure out how to turn on from running water ( no plug for bathing) to shower. One more note, my sink clogged from just washing my hands and it took forever to drain! No plugs in the bathroom and two small towels for bathing. I did like the staff but just wasn't that impressed with much of anything else. Maybe again, it's unfair because I miss the other hotel which catered to my company a little more. And now you know ! Cheerio!
