Great staff, great location

Staff great, great location. Sadly the mattress had no support and edges were soft, heating control not working and had error. Room fan not effective. Miserable hot night on poor mattress. Otherwise rest of hotel was fab. Reported problems next day and hopefully will be resolved.

Nearly good for the price, but not quite

So on google maps the postcode takes you to Blackfriars St (Treehouse Hotel) so not a great start when walking from the station. Hotel simple, nice, good value, breakfast (limited but decent) included. Room fine, although large amount of mold down one walll, I asume due a leak above from the roof- we were on the top floor

Pleasant stay

A pleasant one night stay for me and my friend. Room was comfortable enough for two, we were impressed by the size of the shower and both slept well in our beds. We couldn't figure out the AC system so unfortunately had to keep it on the entire time, a little manual may have been helpful. Breakfast was standard, it was a Saturday morning so quite busy and a few things had run out. Overall, a good stay in a perfect location. If in Manchester again, I'd definitely consider this hotel.

Great Breakfast

Check in was relatively quick with a short queue. Staff explained all that was required.Stayed on 5th floor and when exiting lift was hit with a damp smell which continued along to the room.Hallway carpet was badly stained .Room had all that was required. Walls were patched up and required fresh painting. Good shower.Great breakfast included in price.
