Gardens Hotel

Nice place!

Fantastic budget hotel in central Piccadilly only 7:8 min walk from the station would deffo stop there again 100%. Oh thanks to the staff at the hotel who made my stay even better they really look after you , so thanks again

As it is an old hotel and I was on the first floor you can hear every door banging late into the night, people talking, WCs flushing so I hardly slept with the noises most of the night

Staff, how clean the room was, comfy bed and the late checkout

So the Gardens is a great hotel, recently had some renovations and is generally moving in the right directions. The problem is the little things. The front door to the hotel seems secure but is never locked. The front desk seems so antiquated and old it doesn;t fill you with any confidence. It has a bar area that I have never seen anyone in! I was in an internal room - massively overlooked my neighbouring rooms. Hello to the chap who stood solidly staring at me for a minute!! The windows are filthy and the internal quadrant you look down on is just grim. It's not too hard to do some of that tidying up. However, this was one of the hottest days and the internal rooms were shielded from the heat so it was only a cool 30C. I felt sorry for those in the exec rooms that overlooked Piccadilly Gardens because if you leave your window open you get all the noise all night as well as the smell of weed. Lord knows how hot they were in there!!! It just needs some TLC. The shower in 204 was so difficult to turn. I'd stay again because little improvements are happening, the new carpet, they've fixed the stairs, but it is probably going to need some big investment soon. Now stayed in pretty much every room in 2 floors !!!

Stayed for two nights. Let’s start with the bits that were less than ideal:- • reception and bar area are a little run down and can see that some investment is needed. It’s clean just worn • we stayed with breakfast, but in hindsight wished we hadn’t. Choice wasn’t great, and some of quality wasn’t great. We had full English the first day and decided to go for just a bacon roll the next. But definitely would have been better getting breakfast elsewhere • room didn’t have air conditioning and we stayed on one of the hottest weekends of the year Good points:- • good location for central Manchester and trams • our room looked as though it had been refurbished so there is definitely a plan of improvements in place • fans were provided so they tried to keep the room cool • room was clean, bed was comfortable, staff were great

Clean and comfortable beds. Breakfast was fresh and served quick enough.

They are doing some work done in the hotel and I guess that should be informed.

Clean room even though because there wasn’t a window it did smell abit musky on arrival. However there was a fan in the room. Comfortable bed and clean linen and towels.

Good central location Breakfast was good Staff were friendly and helpful Stairwell was being decorated but not a major issue and there is another stairwell that can be used (and a lift!)

Great location Close to Manchester Piccadilly railway station

The seat in the toilet need to be replaced. Not comfortable

Spacious room, no sockets near the bed for phone, there was no air con but a fan was provided

Overall hotel is a bit dated but can’t fault the prices and service of the staff

Great Location

Really great location for shopping and trams to co-op live. Room itself was basic but had everything needed including a powerful fan which was well used! There is noise from the street which is to be expected but didn't really bother too much! The beds were so comfy (best ive stayed in for a long time) and in middle of our 2 night stay the housekeeping came in and folded our clothes that we had scattered which was a cute touch! Lift to all floors, door is secure on a bell system and staff were friendly esp housekeeping. There is the option to store up to 4 bags for £6 a room which we used so we could go round shops before our train. There is building work going on but this did not affect our stay, just visually aware of this. Cons: very creaky floor in bedroom and hallway, very thin loo roll, was not informed of any food options or drinks

I stayed for one night prior to a conference in central Manchester. The hotel was centrally located and very convenient. The room was quiet and spacious. Checking in and out was easy. The staff were friendly and polite. Even the cleaner who decided to let herself into my room when I had just showered was apropriately apologetic and polite. I would therefore advise anyone not wishing to be disturbed to hang the sign provided on the external door handle.

The hotel is basic and very jaded, but rooms are clean and comfortable. Windows on street facing room did not lock securely so there was some noise from weekend revellers audible. It was good value for money as there was a big match on that weekend.

Perfect location right on the edge of Piccadilly Gardens. Clean and tidy and very helpful staff.

Room was clean if a little dated. Staff always very helpful and friendly. Location was excellent for all amenities. We will stay here again 😊
