easy access from main train station Fairly nice decoration in rooms nice shower and bathroom very comfortable bed dressing gown and slippers Full length mirror

on arrival there was clear glass on the floor and on the bed which cut my husbands hand and he takes medication to thin his blood. Some of the decoration needs a touch up or clean as some walls were dirty. rug under the bed was frayed and very dirty so needs removing. Seating at the end of the bed was very dirty and stained. Floor throughout the rooms were dirty on arrival and more so under the fridge area. Quality of some of the produce used at breakfast, ie: sausages.

clean, comfortable, good food

the room had a slight smell of cigarette smoke, lights in the room tricky, shower curtain not properly attached

location is spot on, about a 5-10 min walk from Piccadilly Train Station and shops and restaurants literally on the doorstep. Piccadilly Gardens just across the road with a lovely little food market. Breakfast was nice, buffet style continental and cooked to order hot option. Staff were lovely. Room was adequate, a little dated but we were happy for what we paid. Great view of the main street. Rooms are not double glazed so you will hear some street noise, mainly emergency services sirens.

our room (404) had two windows but one had been blocked off for some reason. Curtains didn't close properly which is not a problem in the darker months but I would imagine would be annoyance in the lighter months

Location is great, staff were friendly, polite and helpful - leaving luggage securely when I arrived early morning until room ready was easy and felt safe. The room we had was at the back of the hotel and very quiet with two large windows that made it light. Had been concerned about some of the reviews and slightly low overall rating, but stay exceeded expectations and excellent value for money.

The furnishings were a little dated but really doesn't matter for a few days and having said that the bedroom had everything could have wanted - two desks/tables, a comfortable chair as well as desk chair, plenty of space and a good functional bathroom. Main issue for me was that the curtains were very thin and one didnt fit properly so the room was too light in the early hours of the morning.

We were eventually given a nice room, that was very spacious and had windows that you could open. Reception staff didn't discuss and were friendly and offered us this room very promptly (see cons of first room). Bedsheets and towels were clean. Location is great.

We were initially given a room on the first floor that had a strong smell of cigarettes especially in the bathroom. The floor boards along the corridors are very creaky and overall the hotel could do with a makeover. The carpet in the room was very worn out and not the cleanest.

The location of the hotel is great very central , great value , comfy bed and bath .would stay again.

You have to pay to store your luggage

So, the hotel itself doesn't really look like the photos, nowhere near as bright, and I almost missed the entrance as it's just one door...but, what a great stay. It was an inside room, so there were no windows, so there was a fan in the room. Lots of lights dotted around the room. The bed was comfy. I was chilling for a few hours before going out, the TV had lots of channels to choose from. Had a great sleep. The shower was a bit stiff to turn on, but it was really powerful and lovely and hot. I booked breakfast when I got to the hotel. The continental was buffet, plenty of choice, but my favourite thing is I could order the hot breakfast, so it came fresh to the table. I had veg full breakfast. The staff were nice and friendly. The hotel is perfectly placed in the city. Would definitely recommend.

It's not even a ' something I didn't like', it's got a cute 80's decor, with the wiring to match, so not many plug sockets.

Coming from someone who really appreciates great service i was over the moon. Loved the first class customer service from the staff, both day and night, all was good, in particular Annabelle, Monica from days and Ryan from nights (sorry to who i forgot eek). Being a stressful disbaled guest. I cant thank them enough. I wrongly judged this place long ago going by a review from a friend i thought they was a small back street independent hotel. Wel how wrong could they have been and am grateful to have found this gem and keen ti stay regular being an avid traveller. Me extending another night in their executive double surely will give gravitas to my amazement.

If i was being pedantic, no halal breakfast choice or hotel safe for my valuables but i mean given the price point especially for the central location and value its rally not expected

Stayed at The Gardens Hotel whilst visiting Manchester with my daughter for her birthday celebration. We arrived by train and only a had a very short walk from Manchester piccadilly train station to the hotel. The hotel is situated amongst lots of shops, bars and restaurants and is perfectly located for visiting all the local attractions. The hotel itself is clean and well presented and the staff were all super helpful. There are tea and coffee making facilities within the room and these were refilled daily. We had breakfast on both days of our stay and the food was cooked fresh to order and delicious. The price was very reasonable too. I would definitely recommend The Gardens Hotel.

There wasn't anything that I was dissatisfied with during my stay.

Hotel situation ideal.. The room was light and airy(424) Water pressure for the shower was wonderfully powerful..best shower ever Breakfast was wonderful... Perfect poached eggs!.(That's important) breakfast staff were lovely., as were all the staff I encountered.. I would stay again.

The room was lovely, light and airy, on first sight. Then noticed that there was just 2 sockets in this twin room, one for(free view) TV and one for kettle, none by the beds... We're in the technology age, more sockets, especially those with USB, are required. .. hairdryer needs replacing, the surface is sticky, tried cleaning it to no avail.
