Treehouse Hotel Manchester
Huge room (studio suite), amazing design and great location. Very clean, and great price. Only minor thing was the lights in living room half didn’t work when I reported it no one came to fix it. I would still definitely recommend and will be back.

Motel One Manchester Piccadilly
The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. It's great to be able to leave bags securely after check out, and I also like that there's an option to skip the daily room service. We were able to ask for items such as tea, coffee and toilet rolls when needed.
