Palace Hotel Manchester

Extremely friendly and helpful staff on reception and at bar. Residents bar was also a public bar but didn't seem to stay open very late. Breakfast was lovely but as usually happens when tea, cofee and toast is not self service but waiter service this part of it was pretty disorganized. You just had to hope you caught a waiters attention to be served rather than being served by order of being seated. We were asked if we wanted white or brown toast, we said brown but were brought white. The room we stayed in was lovely, very spacious, very old fashioned but that is part of the character of the hotel. The architecture of the hotel is magnificent and it is a pleasure to stay in such a lovely building. Quick and easy checking out. Couldn't be nearer to Oxford road train station and within easy walking distance to restaurants, bars and the Academy, if you're staying for a gig.

We stayed here a couple of weeks ago and we werent happy with the hotel. It looked lovely in the foyer and the bar/restaurant but when we got out of the lift to go to our room it felt like we were going into a pyschiatric hospital!!! It was old and a bit run down. The room wasnt great either, its a listed building so we understood a lot of the features coudlnt be changed but there was chunks missing from the ceramic tiles and it looked dirty. When my partner moved a chair to make room for his bag there were two condoms on the floor!!!!! We told the receptionist who moved us to the "refurbished" part of the hotel but we didnt get much more of an apology for this. The new room was modern but it was an inter connecting room, the door on our side wasnt locked and was paper thin we could hear everything that was being said by the guests in the other room and it wasnt very pleasant to say the least!!!! Overall on first appearances it seems to be a lovely hotel but I would not recommend this to anyone

Love everything about this hotel!

This historic building is in an excellent location to enjoy Manchester, Best staff I have encountered in a hotel for sometime, pleasent helpful effiecent are a few of the attributes on display. Top class breakfast served in a spotless environment.
