Frommer's "This is what the British call a "gastro-pub" with rooms, meaning it offers an excellent cuisine in its restaurant and a guest room above, should you tie on a bender -- or even if you don't." Full review
Fodor's "At the southern end of the city center opposite the Museum of Science and Industry, this friendly and relaxed gastro-pub comes with guestrooms that are simple, creamy cool and modern." Full review
Lonely Planet "Not quite your traditional B&B (breakfast is extra), but an excellent choice... it's the best deal in town for the location."
Time Out "It's well known locally that this award-winning gastropub (see Ox gastropub review) is the place for Coronation Street star-watching." Full review

Avoid rooms directly facing the side of the building as privacy can be reduced.

"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."
