Canal Street is a bizarre and happening place, very friendly and good entertaining night life. Velvet has a hotel, bar and separate restaurant which were all excellent in the sense of decor, ambiance and particularly the service from the staff. The beds very comfortable, great bathroom and breakfast was fantastic. My Girlfriend and I booked this on the hop and... More

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

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. Stunning decor, bubbly and biscuits on arrival, and perfect location on Canal Street. The staff were very professional and friendly, and the bar downstairs is equally brilliant. Can't recommend Velvet enough, and will definitely use on our next... More

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
