The hotel is generally very good and the staff courteous and friendly. The rooms are also comfortable though could do with some attention. The base of the bed was ripped. chunks out of the wall etc. Nothing that can't be fixed but slightly dampened an otherwise enjoyable stay.

Clean, modern hotel in walking distance of rail network and right in city centre. Excellent breakfast. Very comfy beds. . Negatives - no coffee in bar after 11 pm. No cocktails after 11pm. No plug socket near mirror in bedroom for using hairdryer. No cake/ snacks available in bar during the day. All negatives are only minor points though and so would definitely stay here again. Staff all very friendly .

Lovely, central hotel. Impressed by the really great decor and warm welcome. Fab spacious room too with the most enormous, comfy bed! Sadly all let down by terrible service at breakfast both mornings, they were obviously severely short-staffed. We waited over an hour to then be presented with a barely tepid Full English. Such shame as all the components were great! Our feedback was listened to, apologies made and our food was refunded however. Would definitely them another chance.

Good location - rooms hit and miss
Have stayed before - it’s a great location and rooms are spacious. Stay this time was sadly spoilt by having a room on the first floor above the restaurant / bar. Music played until late, staff not particularly helpful. A couple of other issues with the room - some TV channels didn’t work, toilet was blocked and music started again for breakfast… wouldn’t stay again.

Watch out for the “classic” rooms - they’ve not been decorated since the nineties and not remotely in keeping with the aesthetic of the rest of the hotel. Other than the room, friendly staff and good location.

Reasonable value for money
Overall not too bad and value for money. They've gone for an 'Industrial chic" look for the rooms with unfinished plaster walls and exposed service pipework on the ceilings, etc. Room size was good but not a lot of light coming into our room (319). The bed was large but the mattress was far too soft and not supportive enough for us. The rugs in the room help to soften/warm the floor, but they weren't cleaned/vacuumed well, with plenty of hairs etc on/in them. The parking nearby was quite expensive, even with the hotel's 25% discount and the spaces in the car park were tight to say the least! Next time I would get the train. Noises: Bins outside our room so we could hear the bottles being emptied late in the evening (Friday) and some odd intermittent pipework and air conditioning noises within the room.

Good food but not much else
Restaurant and food was really lovely, but the check in process and room itself was below average. The decoration is nice in the lobby but in the rooms is a bit tacky unfortunately. We didn’t arrive until about 9pm as we were told it was 24hr check in and there was no one at the front desk when we first arrived so we weren’t sure if we were in the right place. Then once we go checked in eventually we were placed in accessible room (not upon our testers) which meant we had a wet room instead of a bathroom, no bedside table or chairs at the desk in the room. The bed was comfortable enough for a simple place to sleep and so did the purpose and the breakfast in the morning was so good it almost made up for the rest of the experience.

Grubby room, good location
I’ve no idea how the Alan can claim to be a 4* hotel. I was in a rush to get to a gig when I arrived so ordinarily might have asked to change rooms but my feeling was that this place just isn’t being looked after and all rooms are probably a similar standard. The Alan markets itself to as a quirky hip city hotel but is unloved and really quite soulless. Pros: Central location (but noisy at night), cool vibes in the lobby, large bedrooms, bathroom products smell amazing. Cons: The room was grubby. Mildew and black mold in the shower is unforgivable. Large stain on the carpet (my guess is vomit) barely attempted at cleaning off. Walls marked and splashed. Rug placed at the weirdest angle. Only one tea cup (in a double room booked for 2). No biscuits. Old school analogue TV. I’ve stayed in much better (not to mention cleaner) budget hotels. Last time I visited Manchester I stayed at the Whitworth Locke which is in a similar price range and similar location but is significantly nicer. I regret trying somewhere new and won’t be back.
