Location was brilliant, area around the canal was very good and vibrant in the evening, places to eat and drink within walking distance.Room itself was very tired, with damaged mirror tables taped over, shower room floor tiles cracked, radiator caps missing, down light hanging down, blinds broken, feel this room was well over priced .

Fantastic location, friendly and polite staff. Noise levels let the accommodation down. However this is due to surrounding bars and clubs until early hours and the following morning waste disposal services. Windows let far too much noise in. Great place for a night out but not so much for a romantic night away.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
My room didn't look anything like the photos advertised on Expedia. Staff wasn't very knowledgable - seemed like the person checking us in had never done it before. A/C in the room didn't go under 19C, on a hot humid day it was very uncomfortable. Staff didn't know how to open my windows when I called down - they were hooked up to some electric switch that also didn't work. "Minibar" was a basket on the floor. Dirty water left in the iron. No fan in the bathroom. Maybe there are renovated rooms and we just got unlucky with an outdated room. The only good thing about the hotel is the area. Amazing Canal St. Walkable to everything you need.

The bar below this hotel plays loud dance music until 4 am. If you don’t mind being kept awake all night then this may be for you. The room is dark with no lighting so who actually knows just how dirty it actually is but definitely early the settee should have a do not sit sign. The S and M mural on the wall was not mentioned in any of Expedia’s descriptions . Let’s just say I felt I was in the wrong Place at the wrong time for an expensive price! Leaves me wondering if I will ever book a hotel through Expedia ever again

The main benefit is the location, which is fantastic. The hotel bar is quite nice. The staff overall are lovely and helpful. The facilities are not as nice in person as the appear in the pictures and the room quality is inconsistent (but never poor). I was expecting a bit better but was satisfied overall.

A really unique property. The rooms were quite spacious and really interesting. The bar and restaurant downstairs were excellent with fantastic service. The reception staff weren’t the friendliest, but they answered my questions. The only downside of the hotel is that you can hear everything. I could hear everything going on outside, as well as the entire conversations of the room next door when they raised their voices the slightest volume. The bed was quite comfy, but it was hard to rest listening to the couple next door talk all night.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Velvet Hotel. It was a great location- convenient to Piccadilly train station, lots of easy public parking around, and tons of fun bars right downstairs! Even though it is on a very lively street, we never heard any noise from it at night. Also very walkable to other great restaurants and nightlife in the North Quarter. Highly recommend for a stay in Manchester. Recommendations for restaurants and bars: Federal Cafe Bar, Mackie Mayor, Blockbusters NQ, Soho, The Millstone, Another Heart to Feed, Night Cap, Rudy's Pizza, Oscar's, O'Shea's, Pollen Bakery, The Brewers, and The Lost Dene. Also definitely check out The John Rylands Library, it was incredible!

A quaint little hotel within 5 minutes walking to Piccadilly station. Easy walk to coffee, food, and the trams. Clean rooms with comfortable king bed and big bathrooms. The only issue is I was unable to charge my laptop with adaptor, had to go buy a UK charger.

Disappointing
It was okay, the room is beautiful and the bed very comfy but it’s not very clean, next to the bath was old rose petals, the bath robes were stained and one had a large clump of hair in it. The service wasn’t great, the room service menu had no prices and we found out at check out it was £17 for a very average fish and chips. We tried to order some drinks for room service but calls and messages were ignored and we never got them. The mini bar wasn’t stocked and there was a USB from a previous guest left in the tv. Overall not the standard of cleanliness or service you expect at this price point
