Room was basic, but nice enough, The mattress was very thin though, so much so that you could feel the bed frame below when sitting or lying on it. Location was good, only a short walk from Oxford road station.

OK but a bit mechanical
Just a little impersonal. Stark lighting in the room. Bed not very comfortable. Breakfast was nice but odd, sitting on long tables.

It was a last minute booking and for 5he location and price I was looking for it ticked all the boxes - between station and The Apollo. So much so I've booked for my next trip to Mancester visiting The Academy 2. Breakfast was great too. Hot or cold lots to choose from.
Just two things - the whole building looked a little bit dated but was clean from what I could see with all the necessary facilities. Also, I struggled to enter the room with the key card but that may just have been me!

Ihan ok
Standardihuoneen koko todella pieni, parivuode kapea 120cm). Huoneessa oli todella kuuma, ikkuna auki kokoajan mutta ilma ei vaihtunut koska huoneessa ei ole mitään ilmanvaihto aukkoa. Muuten rahallinen hotelli, alue myös rauhallinen.
