“This adults-only spot blends boutique charm with a lively pub atmosphere, creating something unique. The location opposite Piccadilly Station makes it perfect for train travellers, but the rooms are quiet, and well-refurbished. I think the self-service breakfast bar is a great touch, offering flexibility for busy mornings.”

Diane offered really good service, even opening the hotel on a Sunday for us. The room was lovely, and I found the bed very comfortable. Breakfast included a nice selection that was ready in the morning. I appreciated the proximity to the train station (just across the road from the taxi entrance). The tram system made getting to the AO Arena quick and easy, only about 12 minutes.

perfect spot!

perfect locationfriendly staffgreat coffeedifficult parking

the location was perfect! the staff was friendly, and the breakfast, though continental, had a great selection of fruit and fresh bread.. i particularly loved the pastries, even though they disappeared quickly. the coffee machine was a great addition. bottled water and fresh milk in the fridges.

the parking situation was not ideal, it involved a ten-minute walk to carparks. these were full of potholes, i felt concerned about leaving my car there. i hoped for on-site parking in the future.
