My stay at The Townhouse Manchester was a mix of highs and lows. The location was fantastic, making it easy to explore the city, and the staff was incredibly friendly and attentive. However, I ran into some issues with my room that detracted from the experience, such as the uncomfortable bed arrangement and inconsistent breakfast quality.

Rooms

6.0

I stayed in an Executive King room which was spacious and clean (though I was disappointed to find that the 'king' bed was actually two singles pushed together, creating an awkward ridge). The monsoon shower was nice, but it did fit over the bath instead of separately as expected.

Service

The staff were genuinely helpful and had a warm approach. However, I felt that the level of personal touch could improve, as there was no acknowledgment of my daughter's birthday request during check-in.
