The hotel is situated in a prime location, convenient for exploring the city, but being above a local night club might affect the noise level. The rooms were clean and spacious, offering decent comfort. The staff was exceptionally friendly and accommodating, ensuring a warm welcome and helpful service throughout my stay. The dining options were good but could have had more variety. Despite some noise from the night club, the overall value for the price paid was satisfactory.

The hotel is in a really good location, just a 10-minute walk from Piccadilly train station and close to clubs and bars. The rooms were very hot, and the bed wasn't very comfortable, but the staff were really good and friendly. The service was wonderful, even when coming back in the early hours. The location, although convenient, may not be the most attractive. The dining experience was okay, but with limited options. The hotel facilities could use some updating.

Staying at the Ibis on Princess Street in Manchester was a mixed experience. The room was quite spacious, but the stench from the drains was truly off-putting, especially considering the noise from the nightclub despite the double glazing. The service was a bit hit or miss, with helpful and lovely staff but not very observant at times. The location was convenient for exploring central Manchester and enjoying the nearby restaurants and bars, but the nighttime noise made it hard to rest. The dining experience had its moments with a good English breakfast option delivered to the room, though limited for vegetarians. Overall, a stay with some ups and downs. I would think twice before booking again.

The hotel was supposed to be empty but was directly opposite a loud nightclub; however, it suited our needs for one night in the city. The staff were super friendly and the price was very reasonable, in an excellent location with absolutely fabulous staff. The location was ideal for our plans and excellent value for money, but there could have been more comfy seating options. The dining experience was mixed, with superb choices but also some poor quality items. Despite some drawbacks, the service, though great, was the highlight of our stay.

The hotel had a convenient location near Piccadilly station and close to the city center. However, the rooms were disappointing with old decor and a foul odor in the bathroom. The friendly staff and excellent service made up for some of the shortcomings. The dining experience was not impressive due to warm food and juices. Overall, it was decent for the price paid but lacking in certain areas.

The hotel is conveniently located on the edge of the city center, making it ideal for exploring central Manchester and attending events in the area. While the rooms feel a bit dated and could benefit from a makeover, they are kept nice and clean. The service was friendly, though a bit more warmth and extra amenities like blankets could enhance the experience. The location is excellent, within walking distance of shops, restaurants, and transportation hubs. The dining experience varied in quality but offers good value for the price. Overall, a decent option for a night in Manchester, especially with its proximity to key areas like Canal St and the AO Arena.

My stay at the hotel was quite mixed. The rooms were very spacious, but the carpet desperately needed an update to match the rest of the room's standard. Additionally, the noise from machinery above the bed made it hard to sleep, and the city view was limited to just one building and a car park. On the positive side, the service was a mix of helpful and defensive attitudes, but overall welcoming, offering valuable tips about Manchester. The location was convenient, though noise from cleaning staff was a downside. The dining experience was satisfying, especially the buffet options. However, the facilities could use some improvement to add more value to the stay.
