Guest Ratings & Reviews
The room at Cove was beautiful and contained everything one could wish for, providing a relaxing retreat after a full day's shopping. However, it was extremely hot inside and couldn't open the windows, leading to discomfort and difficulty with cooking.
The hotel is a gem located in the middle of the city center, offering spacious and comfortable rooms filled with thoughtful amenities. The service is top-notch, and the location is superb for exploring various attractions on foot. While the dining options are limited, the hotel makes up for it with excellent room provisions and a pleasant atmosphere.
For my 50th birthday trip with two couples, staying in two double rooms, this hotel exceeded our expectations with functional rooms. The service was nice and helpful overall, although reception was a bit abrupt when requesting photo ID on the morning. The location is excellent in the heart of Manchester, close to all you need, although it could be a bit noisy at night. The dining experience was delightful, especially with the surprise inclusion of breakfast. The facilities were well-managed and enhanced our stay.
Staying at the hotel was quite a mixed experience. The rooms, although equipped with quality facilities, were uncomfortably warm, even with fans and windows open. The location, being close to everything, was ideal, but the dining options were rather poor, leaving much to be desired.
