If you booked…read morethrough the website, you can check yourself in; however, I had used a third party website and needed assistance. She informed me that the third party website fails to pay some tax so it was an additional £1.80. Not a big deal considering the amazing rate I found and I traveled from Wisconsin. She did tell me some people are really surprised and displeased by this extra charge. The room was very clean, decent size bathroom, and beds were comfortable. They do sell their own brand of mattress, which I would buy if I lived within the delivery area. Overall, very convenient and great service. I would stay here again if I find myself in the area.

We stayed from 27th-29th July (paid £114.40) and I have to make it clear that we had a very…read morefriendly welcome from Cordila and the other staff, I could not fault them. However, when my mother stripped the bed on day of checkout (to help house keeping) we discovered the duvet was covered in blood, urine and god knows what other bodily fluids, my mum felt ill thinking about the fact she had lying in that for 2 nights. We reported it to the staff immediately and they were horrified, apologetic and told us we should get a full refund. They gave us the customer service number to call... Cue "goodwill gesture" of a £35 refund verbally by telephone after being kept on the phone for an hour (total cost £114.40, so still a profit of £79.40 for the pleasure of sleeping in other people's bodily fluids), obviously requested a reference number/email/contact to take it further and was told I would get the same response. No information emailed so I completed a complaint form and the automated feedback email you get. Cue another "sorry you are disappointed email and goodwill gesture" email upgraded to £52 refund (which doesn't even cover the cost of one night's stay) and still Premier Inn making a profit of £62.40. The stay did not meet the basic standards of cleanliness or clearly the "good night's sleep" they harp on about, apparently these standards are acceptable and that because we didn't discover it until check out, that makes it okay. See pictures for yourself (I have videos too that I couldn't upload but tried to take screenshots of - honestly it doesn't fully show just how absolutely disgusting the duvet was - it should be binned or set on fire!).

Wow the rooms here are huge!! When you have a huge group of people it can be quite hard to find…read moreaccommodation to fit such a large number. Hotels you have to book separate rooms and there aren't many places of that size on Air BnB. Stayed here with a group of friends on a Saturday night in Manchester, in a 6-bed family apartment- costs £350 which works out at roughly £58 per person. There's a £100 security deposit which you get back at the end. It was absolutely massive: huge living and dining area, fully equipped kitchen, two huge bedrooms and two separate bathrooms. Everything with modern furnishings, and the building has plenty of character with exposed brick and concrete pillars. Location is super convenient for a night out-right round the corner from Piccadilly station with plenty of shops close by if you want to do grocery shopping. The apartment came with a free carton of milk- would be nice to have some oil for cooking as a bit annoying having to buy that stuff if you're only there the one night. Check-in and check-out were pretty quick. A few people on hen and stag dos in the lobby. Saw a girl vomiting on herself in the reception area which wasn't very nice, but her friends and staff were doing their best to clean her up and sort it out. There's a bar area downstairs where people were watching the football-I believe there's a gym too but I didn't have the chance to check it out. The apartment was big enough to hold waaaay more than 6 people. However, if you're thinking of trying to make it cheaper by splitting the cost between more people, this isn't that easy. They take down the names of all the people staying in the apartment, and when you come back in at 3am after a night on the tiles, they will do a head count and take your names. All in all a great place for large groups needing somewhere comfy and convenient to stay in town. Recommend.

There are two entrances, one directly on the street and one at the side. Our event was in the room directly as you go in the side entrance. It was a great sized room and from memory I think she said it can hold 100 people for a dinner. We had a tour of the apartments and it's a really great building with trees inside. A really good space. The apartments themselves are really spacious and would be ideal for a weekend away. I doubt I'll ever stay since I'm down the road but would recommend to others. The food was served Buffett style and was really good - an Xmas dinner and dessert. The turkey was as nice as Turkey is (I'm not a massive turkey fan but I do eat it at this time of year) and the trimmings were really great , especially the parsnips and stuffing. Dessert was mince pies and chocolate cake, both were delicious. I'd never thought of eating here before but I will definitely be back as if the food is that nice for a mass event then it must be great when going for a meal. Oh also nearly forgot to say. They also do weddings in case anyone is looking for a venue.

That said, that's just the way it goes when reviewing! The hotel, itself, is located in a great, convenient area. It's walkable to Piccadilly Gardens and various shopping like Boots and the ever loved by every American I ever knew, ( not me!), Primark. Great pubs and eateries abound and the arena isn't far, either. Upon arriving you will tote your own luggage up about 6 stairs, as there was no ramp or bell man. The lobby level is modern in a disco sort of way, as is the bar and restaurant below. Andre is great though and me and my colleagues loved him during a recent visit where he explained some of the 'futbol' rules to us during the Fifa World Cup England/Colombia game. Happy Hour is a good one. The gym is modern and nice. My room, hmm.. not so modern. I had a hard time finding plugs! I was unplugging appliances and plugging my two items in! I even moved the tea pot to heat water to the floor since it was there in the most random place and a UK plug. The shower took me forever to figure out how to turn on from running water ( no plug for bathing) to shower. One more note, my sink clogged from just washing my hands and it took forever to drain! No plugs in the bathroom and two small towels for bathing. I did like the staff but just wasn't that impressed with much of anything else. Maybe again, it's unfair because I miss the other hotel which catered to my company a little more. And now you know ! Cheerio!
