Top class small boutique hotel on Canal Street. Very helpful staff, great rooms, great location etc. It just has all the small extras which makes it a notch above the rest. Might not be your cup of tea if you dont want any noise, but for a young couple it is perfect. Serve great food too. More

The location of this hotel is great if you want a night out on canal street and is walking distance to all other areas in the city. The staff were pleasant and helpful. We booked one of the suites. The room was quirky and spacious but the decor felt a little seedy. This is the overall impression the hotel left... More

Stayed at Velvet for work twice and both times loved it. The rooms are very comfortable and have the 'wow' factor upon being shown in. Beautifully and cleverly decorated. Is each one different - two out of two says yes. Friendly, welcoming and efficient staff. Great location and a well stocked mini bar! Looking froward to work taking me northwards... More

friendly reception, nice room (if a little dark) excellent bathroom with a bath the size of a swimming pool. Nice touches like the welcome tray with biscuits and fresh milk.

Can't add much to the other comments. Superb boutique hotel with great staff. Got great deal on midweek, which blew away any others. Will return. More

The complementary coffee and tea tray with fresh milk and biscuits was a nice touch. While we were staying at the hotel, the restaurant was... More

The hotel is on Canal street which is approx a 10 min walk from Manchester Piccadilly & the City Centre, however as mentioned on other reviews this area does have a lively nightlife so can get quite noisy in the small...

While the service & attention to detail is superb, the location isn't the best for a quiets night sleep and you are taking a gamble on how noisy drunk passers-by will be the night you stay. The only issue we had was that the hotel is situated in Manchesters busy gay village which means that during your stay you could... More

First time in Manchester for a university visit; don't know the city but the plan was to be walking distance to train station. Looking for something different than a chain hotel and we weren't disappointed. I expected the area to be unique. Room was big, well appointed and comfortable (and included wifi!) for my daughter and I. Staff were kind... More
