The location for exploring central manchester is perfect. The pub is a locals pub with live music, very nice on the Friday night.
We stayed in the twin room, which was quite dark and not as comfortable or clean as a similarly priced city centre budget hotel would have been. Its good if all you need to do is sleep in central manchester for a night. We were hoping for something a bit nicer to relax/get ready in for 2 nights.
Can't fault it for anything else, cheers Noel.
