What guests think
At The Alan in central Manchester, reviewers consistently praise the excellent location, welcoming staff, comfy large beds and generally spacious, stylish rooms, with many also highlighting a good breakfast and a relaxed vibe across the bar and lobby areas.
Some guests found the industrial design impractical, citing dim lighting, awkward layouts and limited power points, while noise from corridors or pipework and unreliable or noisy air conditioning made certain rooms too warm or hard to sleep. Cleanliness and upkeep are mixed, with repeated reports of stained carpets, tired bathrooms or temperamental showers alongside many comments about spotless spaces. Facilities and operations draw criticism for a frequently out-of-service lift and queues, slow responses or bar/breakfast service at busy times, and pricey off-site parking. Expect a stylish, central stay with friendly service, but check room type and be prepared for occasional quirks.
