Abel Heywood Boutique Hotel

What guests think

Across recent reviews, Abel Heywood Boutique Hotel is praised for friendly staff, clean and comfortable rooms, and a central Northern Quarter location near the arena and shops, with many guests enjoying the lively pub atmosphere.

Room sizes vary; some are compact while others feel spacious and well equipped. A few report temperature or ventilation issues, occasional odors, minor bathroom wear, Wi‑Fi problems, and sporadic check‑in delays or mix‑ups. Expect a characterful boutique base with the odd operational hiccup.

I've been to the Abel Heywood for food and drinks many times but this is the first time I've stayed over. It won't be the last time. The room was absolutely fantastic, spotlessly clean, very well appointed - tea makings, a nice en suite and plenty of wardrobe space, hair dryer, iron and ironing board. Even though it's located in the heart of the city, the room was quiet and the bed was very comfortable. Highly recommended

Slight delay at check in but we were 10 mins before the check in time of 2pm. Nice room on the first floor, small but well furnished and comfy bed with a rainfall shower in the bathroom. Breakfast very good, hotel is very well placed for city centre attractions and the pub downstairs serves a nice pint of Cruzcampo!

Great location for visiting the centre or Manchester. Arrived during busy time in the Pub, so had to go to go to the bar to find someone to check us in - but apart from that no issues at all. Room was clean, comfortable, well equipped and quiet. Good breakfast available in the Pub with friendly staff.

Our second stay here. Fantastic location … literally minutes away from all Manchester has to offer. Very busy bar area for all ages but doesn’t disturb you at night. Absolutely can’t rate the staff highly enough … an absolute credit to the management. One downside this stay was the fact that the bath panel was completely cracked. Looked awful and the only reason I marked it a 4 rather than a 5

Stayed at this hotel as we had a gig at the AO Arena and it exceeded our expectations! The room was nicely decorated, clean, small but perfect for 2 people for one night. The cold A/C was perfect as we were lucky enough to catch Manchester on a very warm weekend. The staff were very friendly and suggested local things to do, and were able to store our bags on our check out day so we could wander around freely. The hotel is in a great location, just a 10 minute walk to the arena, with lots of shops, bars and restaurants nearby. We would definitely choose this hotel again!
