Didn’t expect to be walking through a restaurant or that I would need to call hotel to be let in. Staff struggled to tell if I had booked breakfast or not and I had to show email and then also call hotels.com to confirm. Otherwise service was good. Tv signal was not great so only had a couple of channels to choose from. Tv was also v small and far from the bed. Quality of room was ok. Hotel restaurant looked really good though closed on Mondays.

Noit as advertised
Arrived and the hotel looked like it was closed and I am not convinced it was really open for guests as advertised. When peering through the window I was greeted politely and then shown to a room. When asked about breakfast I was told there was no Breakfast as the restaurant was closed, despite me being charged for it. Room was clean but when making a cup of tea after a long drive i found that the milk provided in the tea facility was months past its date and when opened popped out as a solid lump. No bar/restaurant/breakfast/tea/coffee.... just a bed and bathroom. Not quite what I expected and certainly not what I had booked and paid for.

Customer service was good, it would have been 5 star if it weren't for the squeaky bed and broken electric shower. The shower kept changing hot to cold.

Horrible neighborhood...be careful!
Went to check in and the office was locked. Had to go to the bar next door which “checked” us in. Walked us up the stairs in the back of the bar to a room which was very old with a dirty bed. The neighborhood was terrible...run down/shuttered buildings...looked like some sort of ghetto. We checked out before even staying.

Lovely, restaurant, hotel and function room
I stayed here for a couple of nights. The staff were very helpful and welcoming. I had a meal at the restaurant, which was very good. The place is being refurbished and once finished will be an excellent venue. The bedrooms are in the process of being refurbished but the roo was comfortable. Very happy to recommend and will stay again.

great stay
I arrived to the hotel not knowing what type of hotel it was. Being a solo traveler i was wary about it. The staff were friendly and showed me to my room. I was upgraded to the biggest room. There was a function going on with loud music playing until 1am. Somehow i managed to drift asleep dispite the loud music. The room was very clean and tidy. Apart from the cupboard which was a mess but i didn't need anything from there. Free toiletries and towels provided was such a relief as i forgot my own. 24/7 check in and check out was a bonus. The only thing i didn't like was the fact despite locking the door from the inside , i pushed it open to see if it would open without turning and it did. That worried me. It was abit out the way from the places i needed. It cost me £8 to and from in a taxi to where i needed to be. It's close to a Mcdonalds so that's a plus.

Nice hotel
Generally all round nice stay at the hotel. The only thing i would say was the shower wasn't up to great standards. The pressure was pretty low which couldn't adjust and could have done with a mat on the floor.

Fantastic value and service
We stayed for one night and dined in the restaurant. The room was very large which was a bonus - great to spread out! The food in the restaurant was amazing and the service was excellent. We ordered our breakfast the night before so it was cooked to perfection. Would definitely recommend and hopefully we will stay again when visiting Salford Quays - why pay silly prices to stay at the Quays when 20 minutes up the road you can have the luxury of authentic Italian cuisine then walk upstairs to bed!

Do not bother booking this hotel
Booked last week for a night stay and would say do not bother booking this hotel. Internet seems to work only in the lobby. I was given password for two devices and both kept loosing connection in the room. In the lobby was fine but not in the room. I had to do some work so had to download stuff and than work in the room.

Comfortable budget hotel
For the price we paid, the hotel was absolutely fine. Nothing luxurious about the hotel but nothing to complain about either. Perfect for our short term stay.

Good hotel, but know what you're getting
Nice big room, brilliant service, friendliest people on earth. Would I stay there again? Certainly. There's a fantastic restaurant / bar downstairs and the meal was first class. Again, I cant stress enough how nice all the staff were. However, just to set expectation they really need to clean / renew that shower area! It looks awful, although I have no doubt that the rest of the room was perfectly clean. Also, they ask you to fill in a form to say what you want for breakfast and what time. I had assumed that meant if you put 9am it meant it would be ready for 9am, but it took a further 15-20 minutes. It's not the end of the world and the breakfast was superb, but meant I was rushing a little to get to my meeting at 10am. Finally, most rooms are on a busy road so if you are a light sleeper make sure you bring ear plugs. This is not a gripe; just useful for those that need to know. It's no different to most other hotels in this respect.

A good weekend escape.
A comfortable hotel with easy access to City Centre and Salford Quays areas. The restaurant on the ground floor provided us with excellent Italian options and the staff throughout were helpful and friendly.

Disappointing - I won't be staying again
On arrival at 9.50 everywhere was locked up. I had to bang on the window to gain entry. Check in meant a checklist of breakfast items. Shown to my room but not where toilet and bathroom were. Wifi not useable. Breakfast dismal despite asking for items they weren't available. No towels.
