The Telegraph7.0
"Set amidst the bars, clubs and restaurants of Manchester's Gay Village district, Velvet is ideal for party-goers looking to soak up the local colour." Full review
Time Out "This new boutique hotel offers 19 unique rooms, including a penthouse suite and three 'King Balcony Rooms', which overlook the throngs on Canal Street." 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."
