Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Mitre Hotel enjoys a central location, convenient to train stations and attractions like the AO Arena and Manchester Cathedral, with the city's shops, bars, and restaurants close by. Guests often appreciate the spacious and comfortable rooms, many of which include amenities like tea and coffee making facilities and ironing boards. The breakfast buffet is generally well-received, even though some guests felt it could be a little hotter. The historic building adds to the charm, although the older windows mean some noise can be heard in the early morning.

The location offered AMAZING views of the cathedral from my room. Opening the windows was a delight. Though the bar downstairs had music, I could not hear it in my room. It was a special experience.
The shower lacked pressure on my first day and I had no hot water the second day. I reported it to reception, and they said maintenance would check it. It affected my experience.

The location was GREAT! It was near everything, made exploring the city so easy. The room was also very clean. I was really surprised by how large it was.
The toilets made an loud drilling sound whenever someone flushed, it was pretty disruptive. I am not sure why this wasn't mentioned beforehand. I could hear it from my room often, difficult to sleep sometimes.
