Great location right in center of gay village and blocks from downtown Manchester (Piccadilly ) where the transit hub for bus & trams are. Rooms are great and the hotel does many fantastic small things that differentiate it from all other hotels! Would highly recommend it.

We're here 2 nights, great boutique hotel with a fab restaurant. A little noisy at night esp on weekend, but upper level room and earplugs helps. Very trendy, nicely decorated rooms, very attentive staff that went out of their way for us. We got in late and were starving; the man at the front desk made it his personal mission... More

Stayed a few times now and We always love the rooms. Very well designed with great quality furniture and a real treat if your looking for something different. Perfect for romantic get away to the city. Lively place with bars all around and I would recommend this hotel to anyone.

I returned to Velvet this week and was reminded just what a fantastic hotel it is, from the movement sensing low-lights for those late night trips to the bathroom that save mid-night light blindness (!) to good quality biscuits and tea. Not only does Velvet get all the big things, like beds, baths (great big, easily enough for two ones)... More

What a fantastic hotel! We stayed here for a night in April and adored it. Completely unique and highly luxurious, large room.

Can't recommend Velvet enough, and will definitely use on our next... More

Stayed there for 1 night and having read various reviews we were not disappointed. The decor was unique with a fabulous carved bed and a huge bath . We very much look forward to staying there again. .

We are regular visitors to Manchester to see family and friends and know the city well. We stumbled on Velvet when looking for a last minute deal and I can say we were not disappointed. We were looking for a room close to the station (as we had an early train) and it was less then 5 minutes to Picadilly.... More

We stayed for 2 nights last weekend to celebrate a special birthday. We were very comfortable and relieved that we had 2 peaceful nights as we were warned it could get quite noisy. We appreciated a room positioned where noise was limited. The bed was particulary comfortable. Whilst I enjoyed the air conditioning to keep a pleasant temperature through the... More

We stayed in Velvet on business. not the perfect business hotel, but we knew that when we booked and we wanted a place with a personality. We found everything really good - the staff are exceptional and very friendly, the culture is warm and welcoming, rooms very comfortable, clean and quirky - with great bathrooms. Nce small touches like fresh... More
