The room was serviceable as a place to make camp for a small city break. It is incredibly affordable for what you get. It's also located in a great place being so close to Princess Street and Oxford Road.

We were encouraged to go for a drink/meal at the onsite restaurant, however, when we went, there were no staff anywhere to be found to serve us so we ended up leaving after waiting a little while. When we returned back to the hotel early in the morning, we had to buzz to get in, we were asked if we were staying with them and we said yes. However, no checks were made or anything so anyone could have easily walked in, it didn't seem particularly secure.

Good hotel in a convenient location and well priced. The bed was comfy, the shower was powerful, the towels were fluffy and the breakfast was excellent.

The hotel was really warm, even though the weather was cool - my room was pretty stifling, and even the breakfast room was too hot. I noticed the staff all had plug-in fans, so I presume this is a long term issue. I'm glad I wasn't staying there during a heatwave! Also, if you are a light sleeper note that the soundproofing is pretty poor - I was woken up lots of times by doors banging in the corridor outside my room.

Booked for one night. Great location just on the edge of city centre 5 mins walk to Canal Street /Sackville Street / University area. Some beautiful buildings nearby. Nice looking hotel, big, spacious, light and clean room with good basic facilities. Staff were polite and professional. Good choice of breakfast options. Window opened out which was nice on sunny warm morning. Nice fluffy white towels and comfortable bed.

Shower wall fixture was very odd. Shower head would not slot in and hang straight and only pointed to shower curtain. Therefore had to hold shower over me. Curtains too short and let in too much light. A few scuffs and marks on walls and carpet.

The location is 11 minute walk from Piccadilly or short cab ride. Walkable distance to Appollo. Staff were friendly, helpful and looked like they loved working there.. Some say rooms are small, I don't agree.ours was a perfect size. Breakfast was beautiful, well cooked, well presented, lots of choice. Buffet breakfast but you can order a la carte. Breakfast staff were happy and very helpful. Made you feel at home. The Garden Bar is lovely place to have drink or eat. Prices not expensive in particular for city centre hotel. Great price for one night and free welcome drink with a main course.. We will most definitely return and will recommend to all our families and friends. Need to add the pendulum at reception running through the hotels floors is fascinating plus the man sitting by entrance

No lamp by bed. I love to read of a night. Small issue though compared to the high standards of this fabulous hotel.

The room was most adequately furnished. Liked the nice office chair in front of a nice working table. Iron and ironing board came in handy. Generous supply of tea, coffee, sugar, milk and biscuits. There was plenty of the latter. The domestic staff happily replenished these at request. The shower was fantastic for its copious hot water and power. It was like showering in a car wash! Fantastic! The heating in the room is electric, and I asked for help with how to adjust heating. Help arrived within 2 minutes at 11pm! On site restaurant and bar is fit for purpose, and prices are not extortionate. If you are attending a conference at conference centre as I was, the convenience is unbeatable.

Arriving by car, I was a bit miffed there wasn't an alighting space for cars. So, I had to park illegally in front of the hotel on double yellows to carry in my luggage. The 2 hr car parking spaces there are almost always taken. Took my car to the prescribed NCP car park. Was not entirely pleasant walking in the rain the 150 metres to the front of the hotel.

I liked my room ,it was cosy and well decorated with style.The shower was exactly how I like it and there was plenty of hot water.The sheets ,pillows and duvets were clean with no stains.The room service was quick and my food was delicious. Last but not least the staff members were outstanding,they helped me with all of my queries and were very polite.I highly recommend Pendulum Hotel to anybody for either a solo or a family vist.It's close to major destinations in the heart of Manchester.

The staff were lovely and very helpful. It was not far from the train station or Manchester academy. If you need an Uber, you can literally pick one up from here in minutes. There's 24/7 pit stop for snacks and coffee. There's also emergency golf umbrellas in the lobby for rainy days. It was well heated, especially for such a cold day. It was basic, but clean and had everything we needed, even an iron.

Just be aware we booked a standard room, mid-week so it was cheap for Manchester. There's no mini fridge in this type of room. The lights in the bedroom area aren't very bright. If you need to do makeup or shave, stick to the bathroom mirror.

Nice, clean and smart. Near everything we needed to be. Staff were nice, too.Good if you're staying over for a gig anywhere near Manchester Academy. :)

Only one tiny thing, no sort of mini fridge in the room - to keep refreshments we bought chilled. However, we didn't upgrade, so maybe the more higher priced ones do, which would make sense. :)

Room service was prompt, provided exactly what I asked for, very easy and quick. Food was lovely and reasonably priced. Bed was very comfy, room provided a small fan which was excellent for me as i like to sleep with a fan on - lots of other amenities that i didn't personally use but was appreciative of (ironing board + iron, hairdryer, television, shower products etc). There was also a kettle with tea, coffee and biscuits which were very nice. Breakfast had lots of options, hot items were all kept hot and tasted great, coffee was very nice, really enjoyed my stay

The TV remote was a bit grimy and there had clearly been a spill on the desk from a previous guest which hadn't been fully cleaned up, but it was minor and didn't affect my stay. There was initially no toilet paper in the room but once I called down to reception they came back within 5 minutes with a couple of rolls

The location is excellent, the rooms are always clean in my experience, everything you need for a place to chill out and get a good night's sleep. The bed is very comfortable and shower works well. I like that you can open the window slightly for fresh air. Noise was very minimal. I've stayed here before and will again.

The room is very small so would be very cramped for 2 people trying to move around or get dressed. Ideal for one person. No power outlet next to the bed to charge your phone but if you have a long charger cable the room is small enough to plug it in on the opposite wall and have it by the bed haha
