The property was close to the venue that we were visiting
It was absolutely disgusting and riddled with bedbugs
4.0 / 10.0
The room itself was clean and well presented
Communication with the host was poor, very poor.
Front door was left unlocked by another guest, and was tough to lock/unlock
Bathroom was tough to unlock
Room was too hot and the radiator was very hard to adjust even slightly
Kitchen was filthy and splashes from bins up the wall, surfaces not cleaned
Neighbourhood was so suspect even our Uber made us walk part of the way

Good location to where we needed to get to for a gig at the students union.
On the whole, fairly speedy response when I contacted the number provided.
- The property did not feel very welcoming.
- No member of staff to greet us.
- Luckily I messaged about parking (which was advertised on Booking.com) but we had to get a permit via the contact number. I asked for confirmation of this, but only received it from a traffic warden (there were 2 in the vicinity the whole time which made me think the area is not overly safe).
- Parking was just on the street, and as it is a residential area it is first come first served - no designated parking.
- There was no toilet paper, but I managed to find some when I looked in the kitchen.
- The shared bathroom was not overly clean, with a lot of hairs.
- No extractor fan in bathroom which made it slightly damp.
- Had to lean on shared bathroom door to ensure it was locked.
- Had 2 towels of different sizes (there were 2 of us staying and would have been good to have extra).
- It stated there was a hairdryer but I found none in the room. I messaged to ask about this but received no reply.

Nice room with a private bathroom and tv. Helpful staff I spoke to on the phone. We made hot chocolate in the kitchen area which was definitely appreciated after coming back from a concert wet and freezing.
The venue is 5 minutes away from local shops and restaurants. Also handy for the event we went to at Co-op Live, only around 3 miles away.
Lack of towels. We had 2 small towels and would have preferred bigger ones. No toilet paper so we had to buy some. The handle on the bathroom door was broken.
Could not figure out how to turn on the radiator in the bedroom.
It was tricky to open the front door.
No parking in front of the venue, but we got parked close by within a fifteen min walk.

Good location for Manchester Academy.
Messaged 1 week before the stay to ask about parking. Awkward arrival as no hosts there, just a guy who has been living there for 6 months. Tried ringing the host from 2 different numbers to find out about parking. It took 9 calls to get an answer. The shared bathroom was not clean, and there were various hairs around it. The room looked tidy and clean, but the mattress was like sleeping on a concrete slab. Only 2 thin pillows, we ended up putting rolled up towels under the pillow. But we got no sleep as the bed was so uncomfortable & people up and down using the bathroom all night made too much noise. There was also banging at around 4am.

The location was great at the center of my activities and places I needed to be.
There were no toiletries (towel, toothpaste).

This is a scam!!!! Do not book. We had a confirmation from the ‘hotel’ and in our taxi there called ahead to check-in to be told we had no booking and that they had cancelled.. we never received this cancellation. They then ignored our calls, emails and texts, and have taken a payment for the room and have not refunded it

very clean and nice we enjoyed the stay
everything was spotless aside from the fridge it had old and mouldy food and shelving was mouldy it was all very disgusting and unusable and really smelly so we were unable to use the fridge unfortunately and there was only one pillow each, would have been nice to have the option of two :(

The room was clean and the location was good on the curry mile.
On arrival there were no staff present. We did not see a member of staff the entire time. We asked for an early check in which was promised but not delivered. The phone number we were going booking was not answered. They did not respond to my messages. The only reason we got in is another resident gave us the phone number of the owner who did call us back. The bed was far too firm and uncomfortable. The shared bathroom was in poor condition as was the whole property. Many things were broken and in a state of disrepair. I would never stay here again.

the inside is decent and clean and close to manchester academy.
the area is really bad, there’s literally security patrolling the street. i didn’t feel safe as a 20 year old girl that was staying alone i ended up leaving and staying with a friend. when i got there they gave me the wrong pin for the door and when i called they kept telling me all the information was on this but it didn’t tell me anything, called again to see which room they told me 2 on the phone and then called me telling me i was in the wrong one. was all just very confusing.

It was cheap and close to where I wanted to go (a concert at Manchester academy)
The bed was very stiff and there were some bits of rubbish on the floor I didn’t know what it was. The shared bathroom had no toilet paper and there were people talking around midnight when I was trying to sleep. I had to pay to park at a nearby car park as I didn’t realise you had to request parking before stay

The property offered good value for money and was well placed for Manchester Academy.
The host was especially poor. My understanding is that the host tried to evict me once I had checked into the property and force me to return the key after I had left the property for the evening. With little alternative due to the marathon, this would have left us stranded in Manchester without accommodation. Do not use this accommodation provider.

No members of staff present. Had to find my room key myself.
TV in the room was not connected or calibrated and so was unable to pick up a signal. Media buttons on the remote had zero reaction.
Room was not clean. Rubbish on the floor including a used earbud and a bus ticket stuck halfway under furniture.
Shared bathroom facility not clean or well stocked. Water pressure in shower was terrible. Lock also sticks unless you lean heavily on the door.
Bed was horribly uncomfortable. Only managed three hours sleep before waking up in pain.
Blinds did not keep out sunlight. Windows also did not provide adequate soundproofing to minimise street noise.
Messaged staff about issues with the room. No attempt made to address complaints besides excuses and an offer of another room, but as I had already used the facilities and unpacked my sleep machine I had no desire to do this. Also had no confidence the other room would be any better.
Even for a budget this is a place I would not recommend even to an enemy. I have decades of experience working in hospitality including hotels and this place is the worst I have seen. Spend the extra and stay anywhere else.
