Pillo Rooms Serviced Apartments - Manchester Arena

the inside of the place was nice. the bathroom was clean and the fridge was clean the bed was comfy the whole place looked so nice from the inside

The location outside because it looked like a very rough area. when I got there and I thought I got scammed when I didn't , the outside the inside looked way better but the outside just didn't look appealing

Great stay. Lovely apartment and well set up for a short break in Manchester. About a 20 minute walk outside of the centre right around the corner from Manchester Arena. As previous reviews have written, it is in a remote industrial area so I would recommend getting a cab back in the evening but my friend and I (two girls in our 20s) felt fine getting there and leaving during the day. Easy check in, no bad noise, apartment was clean, a little dated/some broken blinds but nothing major when we were out all day anyways. We had been worried after seeing lots of bad reviews online but it was a great stay. You do need to read the booking instructions and leave bank details for a deposit but again, this was not charged to my card and the hold was gone the day after we checked out. Don't be put off by the bad reviews, its a good budget option.

Location was remote and could certainly be a bit unsafe at night time. It felt safe once in the apartments however and there was cctv and a code to get into the building so randoms couldn't get in. Some damaged/tired furniture and broken blind cord but it wasn't an issue.

The apartments are well presented and clean. They are located in a slightly industrial area, but this does not detract from the comfort of the apartments and means that the location is quiet. Within easy walking distance of the city - about a 20 min walk in to the centre of town or a very quick Uber ride. Keypad operated outer door meant it felt safe once you were inside. Kitchen well laid out with all the crockery cutlery and utensils you need. Check-in was easy and the host was very approachable.

The room was spacious and bed was comfy

The walls are paper thin could hear other rooms talking, plugging in their chargers etc. Things were left in the bathroom by previous guests and missed by the cleaners.
