10/10 Exceptional

Great location and loved the decor and vibe. The fragrance in reception is divine. Room and bathroom were very well equipped. Bed was massive and comfortable except where the mattress topper didnt reach the edges. There was a bit of noise from canal street and noise from electric blinds closing in other rooms but not bad enough to mark it down.

4/10 Fair

Damp & dated.

Its really really dated and the condition is sub par. The edges of the room look like they need a good hoover. Everywhere needs a lick of paint and a good spruce. Room smelt damp too. No amount of a shiny reception and cheap glass of prosecco is going to help. Make the rooms the same standard as the reception area. Disappointing!
1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It’s in a vibrant part of the city, so be prepared for the sound of folks enjoying themselves. If you want a quiet part of Manchester this isn’t it. The hotel was luxurious from start the finish - glass of Prosecco on arrival. Bathroom with a huge bath & shower - huge comfy super king sized bed - huge TV too. The staff were personable & couldn’t do enough for you; one of those rare places where they genuinely looked as though they were enjoying their job. There was a lovely coffee machine, a well stocked fridge & snacks. Honestly, can’t fault this place. Ah - maybe not enough hangers; but I could have easily asked!

GILLIAN, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great stay, such a comfortable bed.

My husband and I booked a 1 night stay as we were watching a comedian at O2 Apollo. It was a very direct, simple 20min walk to the venue. Being right on the canal was a beautiful setting. We stayed on a Thursday eve and it was busy, but the noise was not heard in our room, which was fab! Bed was so comfortable. A very compact room, but had everything we needed (we stayed in a cozy kingsize). The welcome drink of prosecco was a great touch too. Loved the minibar option too (we did not purchase, but appreciated the option nonetheless).
Samantha, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely hotel, absolutely brilliant location. We received a lovely welcome and told about the room. The room itself was fabulous, well decorated and a pleasant place to spend time. The TV was huge, and the bed was extremely comfortable. well stocked mini bar, an Illy Nespresso style machine and great views made the stay even better. We would definitely stay again and highly recommend Velvet to anyone looking for a great hotel within walking distance of the bets bits of the city.
