The Palace Hotel Manchester

"Amazing building, nice bar, excellent breakfast, but a bit disappointed in the rooms themselves. No specific gripes - the shower was excellent - but the bathroom fittings and bedroom had clearly seen better days and I didn't feel that the room itself was really up to what you'd expect for a 4* hotel for the room rate charged. The building's architecture throughout, however, made up for this minor disappointment." - Natalie Taggart

"Rooms very clean and big enough. View of a brick wall not very exciting but we didn't stay at the hotel for the scenery! Ideal location for the Palace theatre. Tempus restaurant and bar staff polite and accommodating. Would definitely stay here again." - Julie McKechnie

"Breakfast arrangements were a bit chaotic. We were told to queue at different ends for the hotplate items which you could understand if they had the same items on each side so we had to squeeze between the people queing on the other side to collect come items. Also being a vegetarian it was nice to see that vegetarian sausages were being offered however they were not readily available, could not be ordered at the hotplate and had to be ordered when we arrived back at the table so what was the point of ordering and eating a sausage after the I had eaten the other parts or perhaps I was supposed to have let them go cold while I waited." - Anonymous

"The Palace Hotel is excellently located for access to both shopping and leisure as well as a base for exploring further afield. The quality of service in the Tempas Bar in the evening and the Restaurant during breakfast was of a good standard and I am going to be recommending it to my conference organisers back home." - Darren Whittenham-Gray
