I visited this 4 star hotel with 2 work colleagues , we arrived early so were told we could leave our bags in what would be my room. Within 10 mins of arrival I found a hidden away cupboard in the wood panelling in it were haribos,an inch of dust, 2 old magazines and a porn covered DVD ...very funny... More

I stayed here for a work thing ( I was part of the cowboy party mentioned in an earlier review ) and the hotel was beautiful. I didn't pay for my room but if I had done I would be a bit disappointed that my bath had a hole in the bottom and the sink was cracked. The room was... More

We stayed at the Palace for 3 nights over the May Day bank holiday weekend. A friend invited us up north for an impromptu visit; I booked through lastminute.com and had to check the price several times as it was coming in at just over £59 a night which I couldn't quite believe for an unplanned stay on a bank...

It looks grand, but peer beneeth the surface and it shows signs of being tired - cracked flooring in reception, damaged paintwork etc...... After an initial problem booking in I was given a room - 116 (beware) - eventually I found it down a coridoor labled for recycling waste! It was a disgrace - shabby would be the best I... More

Such a shame to find this beautiful hotel not as good as it could so easily be. We asked to change rooms due to a faulty sink and phone, the reception staff were immediately apologetic and we got moved to another room. Unfortunately the room hadn't been cleaned properly, we found the previous occupiers toiletries in the bathroom, we suspect... More

I'm not really sure how to expand on the title to be honest. I've seen a few negative posts on here - perhaps all those things exist - but for me, I didn't see any of them at all. My room was huge and pristine. It had just about every amenity I could desire including (wait whilst I contain my... More

Fantastic building, had a real sense of occasion when you walk in the open entrance and large glass dome in the ceiling is amazing. The restaurant/bar is pricey but well worth n and breakfast was brilliant. The staff were polite and the room was large, the shower powerful and nice and warm. The decor in the rooms is "old fashioned"... More

I love this hotel. By far not the best hotel in Manchester in many ways, but there's just something about the place. The building is lovely and the rooms are very nice though a little dark. There is a particular ambience to the palace that lends a great charm to this hotel that makes it my favourite place to stay... More

I was booked into the Palace for one night at short notice for business. The building itself provides a grand victorian experience with old stone walls, high ceilings and stained glass. When I went up to my room (which due to the layout of the building can be quite challenging to find) it was large and spacious but cold. The... More
