Highlights

History: One of Manchester's oldest hotels, operating since 1815

Views: Rooms overlooking Manchester Cathedral

Dining: 2-for-1 cocktails daily at The Mitre Bar & Grill

Location: 4-minute walk to Arndale Shopping Centre

Family: Large family rooms with multiple beds

“The location opposite the cathedral is a strong draw, especially combined with the retained period features in the rooms, like the sash windows. It strikes me as a good choice for those needing easy access to the AO Arena, and I like the idea of a nightcap downstairs after a long day. Overall, it seems a solid, centrally-located base.”

Acceptable Stay Near the Arndale

helpful staff convenient location comfortable bed small room cluttered space non-working tv
The location proved very convenient. It was a short walk to the AO arena. The reception staff accommodated us by changing our room. The replacement room suited my needs much better.
The room felt rather small. There was an ironing board and fan, though the space felt cluttered. The TV was not working upon arrival. No one advised us about this beforehand.
