Such an interesting building - impressive reception area and so many original features. Fabulous spacious bar with plenty of space for lounging with a coffee or drinks. Really good atmosphere in the evenings. Great breakfast and dinner menus. Good location just a ten minute walk from Manchester Piccadilly Station and with easy access to places of interest. All the staff were cheerful and helpful. Will definitely return.
