It's central in the Manchester's gay village which is great. Our room was very noisy - thin walls from next door (!) and loud party street outside. The shower was a bit mouldy at the edges but the bed was comfy and with earplugs we slept. Breakfast was only continental - a small bowl of yoghurt and muesli and pastries. No coffee apparently other than the pods in the room with long life milk. Not really the 'boutique' we were looking for - I was with my daughter on a uni visit and the room felt more like a gothic black den with a large 'suggestive' mural on one wall and a huge mirror on the other side. I didn't feel this 'vibe' was very clear from the website!

Hotel was lovely with many quirky features in public areas and the room. Loved the air conditioning. Friendly staff who very helpful. Understood hotel is reasonably old so wheelchair access was to the rear of the building but exterior was in a graffiti street which felt a bit unsafe. Front of hotel was bright and lively.
