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."

"With three successful hotels already in the city, the Eclectic Hotels group knows what it’s doing." Full review
Mr & Mrs Smith "Indoors, genteel mod-British interiors, his and hers afternoon teas and a chandelier-lit tavern create a restful stay for those who want to chase pâtisserie and pastel-hued rooms." Full review
Independent "With an infinity spa pool on its seventh floor overlooking Town Hall’s clock tower, this 40-room hotel is a special retreat in Manchester city centre"
Independent "This comfortable cocoon of style in Manchester’s city centre is the place to stay if you need to unwind"
Independent "A glam 40-room boutique base with a steaming, open-facing rooftop pool...a steam room and relaxation area on the top floor and private movie nights in a mini cinema complete the picture."

Independent "With an infinity spa pool on its seventh floor, overlooking Town Hall’s clock tower, this 40-room hotel is a special retreat in Manchester’s city centre"
Independent "The interior décor in public areas is a delight, with locally sourced artwork, statement lighting and parquet flooring, while the bedrooms share a calming colour scheme – but each is unique."
Independent "Make like the North’s models and influencers and hole up at King Street Townhouse, a glam 40-room boutique base with a steaming, open-facing rooftop pool facing the spires of Manchester Town Hall (sadly under scaffolding until 2024)"
