The Mitre Hotel

Location is really good, city centre close to attractions, shopping and transport hubs. Bedrooms are clean but basic, housekeeping was good. Breakfast was good and warm if you were there right after serving at 8am, if you were much later the hot food was lukewarm. On the whole as value for money the Mitre hotel is good. The hotel is old and quaint and that adds to it's appeal.

Lovely quirky hotel in the heart of Manchester. Manchester is a city of ugly multi storey hotels built of concrete and glass with no character. On our arrival we were confronted by buildings each more ugly than the last. On parking the car we walked to the Mitre Hotel. An oasis in the town centre, adjacent to a number of very old pubs with lots of character. Staff very polite and welcoming, our room overlooked the Cathedral. There was entertainment in the bar if you were staying in. Do not book this lovely old fashioned hotel if you favour bland surroundings and a corporate atmosphere.

We booked this hotel because of its location and price. Closer to the time we read some reviews and became a little concerned by some of the negative comments that had been left. We had nothing to worry about, we loved it from the moment we arrived. The building is old with plenty of history and character, check in was straight forward and greeted by friendly helpful staff and the room was just perfect with fantastic view of the cathedral. We had breakfast 2 mornings and no complaints at all. Stayed 3 nights and we had the best weekend, thank you and we look forward to coming back.

My daughter and I loved our little attic room and found the bed really comfortable, meaning we had a great night sleep! The room was clean and really warm after a freezing day of gallivanting. Because our original room wasn't ready we ended up with a free breakfast, which made our morning stress free and was luckily really delicious, bar the coffee which I can't lie was pretty awful to taste BUT alas, it was cafeinated and hot! The staff were all so lovely, efficencient and friendly and I would definitely stay here again as a budget option! I did find the hotel a little tired but for 30 British pounds, tired is amazing! The location was also top notch, around the corner from our favourite restaurant, right by the tram stop for our plans the following day, and near to Victoria station. All in all, we loved it and will definitely be back!

The hotel is over 200 years old so it’s very much telling. But still beautifully clean. The stair cases are a bit worn due to the popularity of the hotel, which is to be very much expected. The staff were absolutely brilliant. So easy to chat to and very accommodating.
