The Alan

Clean, quiet and welcoming hotel located just 3 minutes walk from the tram stop at St Peter's Square or around 10 minutes walk from Piccadilly. All the staff were friendly and helpful. The room was well appointed with almost everything you could need including fridge, good quality tea and coffee and great toiletries. The bed was extremely comfortable with good quality bedding. The heating/air conditioning was very effective and easy to use. Extremely reasonably priced - I would definitely stay here again.

The staff were friendly, welcoming and casual in a good way. They looked to be enjoying the hotel and working there which is a good sign. The bed was massive and the room comfortable. The breakfast was plenty and varied with a good separate egg menu which i didn't partake of but looked very nice (scramble eggs with Salmon.. etc). Parking was close by at the Q car park with a discount. Overall a very enjoyable stay over with my 2 children.

We stayed at The Alan for a weekend meet-up and it was absolutely perfect. The hotel offers great value for money considering its central location—just a short walk to shops, bars, and restaurants, which made everything super convenient. The room was surprisingly spacious for three adults, with a layout that gave us enough room to relax without feeling cramped. The aesthetic interior really stood out—modern, stylish, and well thought out, which made the whole experience feel a bit more special. The bathroom was a great size, clean and sleek with good lighting (a win when three people are trying to get ready!). We also appreciated the mini fridge in the room—handy for storing drinks and snacks for the weekend. One of the best things was how quiet the room was—we couldn’t hear any street noise at all, even though we were in such a central spot. It made for a really restful night’s sleep. Would definitely recommend The Alan to anyone looking for a chic, central base in Manchester—especially for groups of friends who want comfort without breaking the bank

I recently stayed at this hotel and had a really pleasant experience. The location is fantastic – right in the centre of Manchester, very convenient to reach the Manchester Central Convention Complex. The staff at the desk was friendly on check in, check out and at breakfast. Check-in was quick and smooth, which I appreciated after a long journey. The room itself was comfortable, especially the bed. Overall, a solid choice for anyone looking for convenience, comfort, and good service in Manchester.

The Alan is phenomenal...make no mistake! This is my second stay at The Alan, and I will always come back. Admittedly, I got an upgrade this time from Booking.com to a Signature Room, but never the less, I highly recommend a stay here. Firstly, the location is perfect. Right across from China Town, a walk from the trams/buses and train station. All you need to access other parts of the city and a walk from the abundance of The Northen Quarter. The Alan is grand, bountiful, and contemporary in design. A very chić entrance with a Café and restaurant, also a very nice seating area. The Signature Rooms are huge, with double windows so you can open the window on the outside and filter it with the second window. *I like the cold so perfect. With separate heating and air-conditioning to each room, too! Perfect for a cosy night in. The bed is deep, firm & absolutely huge, I'm 5ft the width of this bed is longer than me *laughs. I literally slept and couldn't reach either end, and it was perfect. There are some seriously heavy and good *to floor black out curtains that will aide your sleep into a slumber. It was a great sleep! A huge TV is perfect for a midnight film binge, you cab connect your phone to your own streaming apps, too. Coffee, tea, water, and plenty of great quality toiletries in the bathroom. Also, the beautiful bathroom design is sleek, minimalistic, but also soft, feminine, and a decent size. Also, a fridge - this needs to be highlighted as an extra because I'm the person who'll buy food to eat in room and bottled water. It has a small freezer in it. Perfect for your favourite ice cream. Beautiful flowing voil that let's in the morning glow from the city. I could live in this room and be happy. I'm currently in recovery from an awful domestic abuse case, and I'm disabled with very bad anxiety. The staff here are very mindful, discreet, and welcoming.
