Spent a single night at Leven, but I wish I'd stayed for longer. The hotel is lovely, not hanging chandelier and concierge lovely, but modern, fresh, friendly, clean lovely. The best kind of lovely. I was met by Thomas and Sarah at reception, who checked me in and swiftly explained the rules and so forth - very friendly and efficient.
The room itself was stunning, a really lovely base from which to explore Manchester. There was even a bath! Such luxury. Teas, coffee and water are available for free. Reasonable prices for snacks in the room.
I came back after work with a 22" pizza from a place over the road and Thomas whipped me up one of the best Old Fashioned's I've had in Manchester. Breakfast the following morning was a cereal, bagel and yoghurt affair - no hot food, but you're never more than a stone's throw from a Greggs in Manchester if you want hot breakfast food. Reception has a fancy-pants coffee machine, and they'll whip you up a great tasting latte (which is complimentary if you order the breakfast). Checkout was quick and easy.
Overall, even though I stayed for a mere one night, I was refreshed, enlivened, engaged, relaxed and reinvigorated. I will absolutely be booking the Leven again for my next trip to Manchester.
