Fodor's "Opposite the Manchester Art Gallery, the centrally located Arora Hotel occupies one of the city's grand Victorian buildings; its interior design, however, is minimalist modern."
Lonely Planet "Set in a converted 19th-century wool mill, the Arora joins Manchester's growing list of trendy hotels, except this one's got cheaper rates and pop star backing." Full review
Rough Guide "Four-star with more than 100 neat, modern rooms – five of them with themes relating to part-owner Cliff Richard – in a listed building opposite the Manchester Art Gallery."
Time Out "Cliff Richard isn't a name you'd normally associate with cutting-edge design. Yet the holy rock 'n' roller is part-owner of one of the hippest hotels in the city." Full review

"Although impressive from the outside, the Arora Hotel doesn't quite deliver with its interiors, which are smart and modern, but largely lacking in character." Full review
The Guardian "A huge, upper-ground floor space houses the bar, restaurant and lobby...rooms have bare plaster walls, exposed ducting and angular lighting and furniture, with seriously comfortable beds."

Time Out "Describing itself as a 'new generation Novotel', this hotel does have more to offer than similarly branded accommodation in the city." Full review
The Telegraph7.0
"Popular with corporate guests, but don’t let this put you off as it offers good-value rates, and...central location." Full review
Independent "There’s a decent gym, a steam room, sauna and relaxation area...the central location means Manchester Art Gallery and Chinatown are just around the corner."
Independent "The Novotel Manchester Centre’s location is among the best in the city, perfectly located for exploring almost every area of the city. It’s also close to Piccadilly station."
