OX Hotel Manchester

"While the overall experience is positive, there are a few areas for improvement. The location is somewhat inconvenient, being relatively far from the city center. The space is rather compact, and the facilities are quite basic. Despite these limitations, the core quality remains satisfactory"

The Waterside Bar, Rooms & Restaurant

"Visited with family aged 14 - 77 Food was good and served on warm plates. Took a while for the starters but the mains were pretty quick afterwards. It wasn’t busy but most customers were seated in the conservatory. I appreciate this is easier for staff but it would have been nice to space everyone out a bit. Service was good so all in all a nice evening."

The Ashcroft Apartments

"We are pensioners and were given a basement apartment which was freezing and the heating didn’t come on at night or in the morning. Told Colin the caretaker and he said he’d sort it out to come on from 6 pm till 12am which it came on for about ten minutes and then went off again. Each of our three night stays were the same , no heating so we had to get into bed to keep warm. We were considering buying a fan heater but were only there for three nights and couldn’t wait to leave. The steps were very steep from the car park down to the apartment and not suitable for pensioners. If you went round the front way there were more stairs to contend with. Supposed to be sound proof but very noisy with doors banging and creaking floorboards above us. Plus side… hot water was good in shower and apartment was very clean. Wouldn’t return due to caretaker not sorting the heating and being in the basement. Also could do with information in apartment on rules and regulations and general useful information like most accommodation provide anywhere else."
