Very pleased with my stay!


“Very pleased with my stay” - is what Lucy C from Sheffield wrote following her stay with us at our city centre hotel in Manchester....


Reviewed 29 January 2012

I booked the Liberty Suite for myself and my husband over a weekend in manchester. The room was large and had a great street view of Chinatown (nice big windows so didn't feel hemmed in). Good attention to detail and all the facilities you need for self catering. The shower room was also a good size with a nice big rain shower. There was a massive TV at the end of our bed so we could be ultra lazy!! I chose the Liberty room because of the dining table which made a difference if you want to dine in.
 
The Mac computer was a really good extra.
 
The location was great, very close to the city centre - about 10min walk from Picadilly station. The grab and go breakfast is at reception and you can grab & take it back to your room!
 
I forgot to take my earplugs with me but actually there wasn't much noise at all!

The only slight gripes I had was the room took a while to heat up and being january I did feel a bit cold when I first arrived - it took a good 2 hours before it felt warm. It would have been nice to have a heated towel rail in the bathroom, & lighting suitable for applying make up (!!). But really these are minor gripes and didn't affect my stay.

Overall I would say if you want luxury accommodation in manchester and you like the freedom of self catering this is a good value option. I would stay here again.
 
Room Tip: room 207 is a corner street view room with lots of windows so good view.

The only one of its kind, Yorkshire Sculpture Park is an international centre for modern and contemporary art, experienced and enjoyed by thousands of visitors every year.

Explore open-air displays by some of the world’s finest artists, enjoy fascinating exhibitions throughout four stunning galleries, be inspired by the natural beauty of an historic estate, and get involved in a dynamic line up of events and activities.

Yorkshire Sculpture Park is a pioneering place that aims to challenge, inspire, inform and delight, welcoming over 300,000 visitors, including 40,000 learning visits each year.

"Probably the finest exhibition site for sculpture in the world." Bill Packer, Financial Times

"In my experience, you get things from visiting these 500 acres of rolling rural north that are rarely available at other art locations." Waldemar Januszczak, The Sunday Times

"A great way to combine culture, exercise and fresh air for all the family." The People 

So why not join our Treasure Hunt? You could win the prize of a night in our Leeds City Centre hotel and whilst you spend your evening in the lap of luxury with us - you could fill your day with an inspiring trip to Yorkshire Sculpture Park!

Want a free night in Leeds? See what our guests say...

 
 
We're running our Treasure Hunt again this week and the prize is a night on us in Roomzzz Leeds City... Why is this a good prize? Sunsetcat had this to say about a recent trip to our Leeds city centre hotel:-
 
“Excellent accommodation near the train station and city centre.”
5 of 5 starsReviewed 17 December 2011

The hotel is very conveniently located just a short walk away from the train station. Staff were friendly and helpful. For instance, I requested extra pillows for the room, and these were brought up before bedtime. I phoned reception to ask about rebooting the Mac in the room, and was given good advice on how to do that. The room itself comes with good facilities. Free wifi is always great. And my boyfriend and I were particularly taken by the lovely underfloor heating in the bathroom! The little kitchen was handy, as we got some ready meals from Marks & Spenser's at the station - again, only a few minutes walk away - and heated up those for dinner when we didn't feel like eating out. There are also plenty of nearby restaurants to eat at, if you don't want to prepare food for yourself.

There was enough closet space for an overnight stay, and also a little in-room safe. The room faced to the rear of the building, and was very quiet with little noise, despite over stay being on the weekend. The bed was very comfortable. If there was one thing I wasn't so keen on, the air conditioning didn't warm the room up as well as I'd have liked. But that aside, we had a very pleasant stay. I would certainly be happy to return, and would also recommend the hotel to friends. 

We think that says it all... keep reading our blog this week for more clues to the treasure!
