Insight Guides "Occupying an old warehouse, this boutique hotel is decidedly luxurious."
Fodor's "The striking contemporary design of this trendy hotel, behind an Edwardian facade, includes good-size, individually designed rooms."
DK Eyewitness "Stylish hotel housed in a converted, 19th-century building, located in the centre of town. Close to the Piccadilly train station, several shops and other downtown attractions."
Time Out "A favourite with visiting bands and celebs, the Mal is a first choice for those who like to think of themselves as possessors of style." Full review
Michelin Guide "Old cotton warehouse and dolls hospital joined by a striking granite extension. Stylish bedrooms: some in dark, masculine shades; others in more subtle pastel hues."
The Telegraph7.0
"Almost immediately upon stepping off the train at Manchester Piccadilly station one comes to face to face with Malmaison, housed in a suitably gothic-looking 19th-century warehouse." Full review
Lonely Planet "Malmaison Manchester follows the chain's quirky design style and passion for cool, although rarely at the expense of comfort: the rooms are terrific." Full review
Independent "There are cheeky quotes on everything from light-boxes to toiletries, and its buzzy bar and restaurant are popular with locals as well as guests...rooms have more character, due to their quirky shapes"
Michelin Guide "This is easily the city's most stylish lodging, with handsome modern rooms in black, white and crimson. Bathrooms are high-tech, as are the bedrooms with enormous plush beds and all manner of gadgetry" Full review

Avoid rooms directly facing the side of the building as privacy can be reduced.
The Telegraph8.0
"Hotels don’t come any more central than this bright and breezy budget option with its witty décor based on Manchester’s famously rainy climate, appealing mainly to younger tourists but also suited to business travellers and families." Full review
Time Out "This three-star Thistle hotel is right opposite Piccadilly Gardens, so not far at all from both the Northern Quarter and the Arndale Centre. It's housed within a grand old Victorian building" Full review
Independent "Rooms are decorated in a windy, summery or rainy theme, complete with cloud-shaped tables, umbrellas as table legs and deliberately wonky mirrors."
