On arriving at the hotel my first impressions were good the reception area was clean, sleak and well attended it was staffed by a very freindly young lady who reeled off the usual scripted hotel speak, nothing unusual there then.

My latest experience of this amazing city, of which I had never had the pleasure of visiting prior to April of this year was this weekend, after being lucky enough to be selected as part of a team to partake in a footie quiz on Digital TV in the not too distant future - although can't say any more than that at the mo! Our venue on this occasion was The Thistle Hotel in Manchester, opposite what was once, as I understand Piccadilly Gardens (now under redevelopment pending the Commonwealth games next year) and about 5 minutes walk from Manchester Piccadilly train station and the Arndale Centre. The hotel has 205 bedrooms, a minute reception area, a ... Read the complete review
