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."

"Richly steeped in history and elegant finery, this grand old dame stands clearly as one of the most impressive of Manchester's hotels." Full review
The Telegraph8.0
"First opened in 1903, the historic Midland’s claims to fame include being where Rolls met Royce and where Becks wooed Posh." Full review
Independent "The grand building packs a punch, with an elaborate red-brick facade; enormous, pillared reception area...the 312 rooms have a regal colour scheme and some look out over Central Library."
Lonely Planet "Its 312 rooms are used by business-folk and tourists looking for comfort and a little pizzazz." Full review
Michelin Guide "Behind its spectacular red-brick exterior you’ll find a hotel that’s as dignified as they come...public spaces are imposing, while the 312 rooms and suites are softer, though no less finely wrought" Full review
