Maldron Hotel Manchester City Centre

10/10 Excellent
"Always have a good stay here. Decent location, comfortable room with modern decor (mirror in the bathroom is a little too high though). Breakfast is usually adequate, decent choice but typical buffet type offerings. Was quite busy at breakfast time though but they open up more tables in the bar area to cope with the number of people."
