Tucked away in what feels like a park in the center of Manchester, rooms are very, very small, but quiet. Weird breakfast set up, the usual luke warm buffet, but served to you by a waiter standing behind the counter, who glared at you if you asked for two sausages! Can't really complain as it was really cheap. Can someone please explain to me why hotels, such as this are only putting one bedside lamp in a double room? Is there a law against two people reading comfortably in bed, without having to get up and turn the light off?

We have stayed at Chancellors Hotel a number of times, and even got married here this summer. Have had a good experience and service generally in the past. Have had problems however with the showers a few times. Went for New years eve and my now husband had a shower. There are signs warning about hot water, so he dutifully set the water and was very careful to wait and make sure the water was right before getting in. After 10 minutes of being in the shower, it suddenly went scalding hot and burnt him. Though the reception staff were very good and understanding, the manager was a completely rude man (who I would say more, but don't want to swear!) and basically said there were signs warning and therefore our fault. He then tried to explain WHY it is the showers can scald you! Showers should not scald you!! We asked him what would have happened if there was a child or older person with us and he merely said ' well there isn't is there?'. His complete lack of understanding and willing to solve a problem was astounding. This was even after he knew we had spent a great deal of money there just a few months earlier.

What we are very concerned about is that there is still a problem, the showers continue to burn people and they will do nothing about it. I have seen other reviews and spoken to other people and seen it happen to them. Until this is resovled we shall not be going back. I will be writing to the council to try and get someone to solve this problem and urge anyone with children, or have older people with them NOT to stay here.

Stayed or two nights and came out back and blue. Bend over to pick up a sock you hit your bum, go to the loo and squeeze thru the smallest door I have ever seen and then wonder why there is so much room in the public areas outside the room which are not used and so little in the bedrooms where you need it. How on earth housekeeping copes I will never know. I will never complain about my small cottage again.

I stayed for two nights in December whilst attending a course/exams at the Armitage Centre across the road. Easy to find and just next to Fallowfield - plenty of restaurants/coffee shops/Sainburys. I had a single room which was small but had everything you needed and very clean. Lots of hot water and good shower over the bath. Some noise from the students playing sport on the astroturf next door but nothing obtrusive. Free internet was speedy.

I ate in the hotel both evenings, limited menu but the special early bird 2 courses for £10 menu was good value. Breakfast had a good choice and room service was no extra charge. Good place to stay!
