YOTEL Manchester Deansgate
Well situated hotel in the city centre. The bar downstairs was buzzing and had a great atmosphere. Self service check in so minimal interaction with staff. Compact, modern and clean room with the most comfortable bed ever! A shame no disco lift like they have in Glasgow but would definitely stay ...
