Bullhead in Manchester

From check in to leaving everything spot on.. Lovely staff in bar.. The route upstairs into hotel was nicely furnished, as we're the rooms. We had a twin. Compact but not cramped. Beds comfy with nice pillows and bedding. Bathroom lovely. Great shower and lovely towels.. There was tea, coffee, milk, kettle etc in room. Cartons of orange juice too. Cerials, fruit, cakes, breads, jams and butter laid out in the entry room. Coffee machine too.. Bottled water and milk in the fridges there. Nice crockery too. We were back late, after a concert.. There is a side entrance as bar is shut. Ideal location as station, metro and taxis just across the road. Will definately use again.

Lovely place first time here michelle and Mandy are brilliant very welcoming and a great laugh definitely coming back thank u for such a great night xx

In Manchester for a Ross Noble show at the 02 Apollo and we needed an overnight in the area. The Bull's Head seemed to fit the bill. To be fair, it is in a great location, right over the road from Picadilly Station, 10 minutes walk from the Arndale Centre and about 15 minutes from the Apollo. The staff were friendly and welcoming and we enjoyed a pre show drink in the traditional bar downstairs. You take pot luck whether you get a double room or a twin and we were slightly disappointed that we had a twin. The room was OK, reasonable size, small en suite with a decent shower ( no plug for the wash basin, however. Awkward.) Tea and coffee making stuff in the room too. If you stayed longer than a night or two you'd find the lack of anywhere to hang your clothes a problem. Overnight was not great - neither of us slept well because of outside lights filtering in, traffic and train noise, and an annoying emergency light casting a greenish glow on everything. I found the pillows a bit lumpy. Breakfast was a help yourself buffet affair of toast, cereal, croissants, tea and coffee which you have to take to your room, but there's no space to eat it other than sitting on the bed. Not ideal. So. If you want a cheap and friendly overnight in a good location the Bull's Head would be fine, but don't expect anything amazing. You get what you pay for.

Was apprehensive as it’s a pub B&B. However from the moment we walked through the door we were blown away with the warm welcome and very pleasant lady on the bar who checked us in. Only a few rooms but ours was suitable for our needs, just overnight before flight on holiday. To be right next to Piccadilly station it was quiet and very easy accessible from station. Quite a few steps with heavy luggage but only two flights so not that bad. Didn’t try the included breakfast as left early hours for flight but the set up looked amazing. This is a gem as cracking price in relation to airport hotels and only 3 mins from station and about 10 to airport

An absolute gem of a find while staying in Manchester. The 3 boys from Donegal will definitely be back!!!! Fantastic friendly and efficient service!!!

We were waiting for some friends and where better to meet than The Bull's Head. If you walk down Piccadilly then you'll miss it, go downstairs at the station and cross the road where the taxis wait. Always a friendly welcome from the two ladies...

After Speedway Event at Belle Vue. Fancied a Beer before Retiring to Bed. Drank Bank,s Bitter. Good, Well Kept Pint. Found Bar Homely. Traditional Pub. In the Heart Of Manchester. Went to Another Pub. For One More. Was Not as Good. Should Have Stayed at...

Well where do I begin.... from the moment I walked in I felt like I was in Disney x10000! The place is perfect no matter the occasion from a child’s first birthday to a wedding reception you will have the time of your life. The...

We stayed overnight but wished we were there for longer. Despite being so close to the station and centre of the city, the room was quiet and cosy. The building dates from at least the mid-19th century and the pub downstairs retains its historical charm...

I really enjoyed visiting this traditional ale pub. The service from the one bar staff was on point during a really busy evening and the bonus, for me, was the free freshly made sandwich rolls provided at the bar!!!

The pub is located in front of Manchester Piccadilly train station (the central train station of Manchester). I was waiting for my train and I went to this pub to work a bit and have some drinks. Activity that I perform regularly in Edinburgh: going...

The Bulls Head has the best choice of ale of all the pubs in near proximity to Piccadilly station. We were off to the Emptihad (sorry City fans) for an away game so out of the station across the road and back in for the...

Dropped in ahead of Man U Fulham game, friendly staff, good atmosphere enjoyed the experience before heading to Piccadilly for tram to game

This pub has a really nice atmosphere and friendly staff. Was quite busy early evening so maybe its a stop off on the way to the station as really close by but also had regulars. Didn't eat or stay here so cannot comment on either.

My wife and I had visited Manchester to watch a concert at the Apollo theatre and as we were passing the pub, decided to go in for a quick drink before going to a bar nearer the theatre. We ended up having 3 drinks each...

We've used this pub a number of times as it's extremely convenient for Manchester Piccadilly (across the road at the back of the station, where the taxis hangout). Marstons pub which is a good start for real ale drinkers. Friendly service in my experience (the...

Visited here for a few drinks before a gig at the Apollo, waited 20 minutes to get served then when we did get served it was by the rudest lady ever, so impatient, curt and so very rude, it wasn't just us as other people...

It is small but comfortable hotel.Place is very nice and good for morning walk. You can find local food on restaurant.

Great location to all amenities. Rooms clean and very comfortable beds.A bit unusual breakfast arrangment , you had to make your own continental breakfast from table on landing. Adequate thought, and flexible, would have liked to have suitable seating to eat as you dined in...

Nearest pub to the station and usually packed out. 9pm on Friday night and less than 8 people in so table and seats available.

We found this place close to the station for a quick pint when we had an hour to spare before our train home after a weekend in Manchester. They serve a limited range of ales (it is a Marston badged house), with reasonable service but...

Arrived at the hotel to find there was no parking so had to drive to a back street 5 minutes away to park. On arrival we were greeted by wonderful helpful and friendly ladies who were so welcoming. It's a strange experience walking into a...

Stayed here when going to see a band in the Apollo. The location was ideal for both the train station and the venue. First impressions were good, the bar staff were helpful and friendly when we booked in. The room clean and modern, with a...

The outside of the pub promised so much, the inside disappointed, there didn't appear to be any "atmosphere", the beer was ok

Just a few steps away from the main manchester train station is the Bulls Head. used to be more regular but kept this drop off with the craft beer bar explosion elsewhere. however, if you want a good standard pint in pleasant surroundings then go...

Went in here for a few pints bar staff couldn't be more welcoming with their beautiful smiles until the landlady came down after she had obviously just woken up by the state of her anyway, she started screaming and shouting at the staff embarrassing them...

Walked in for a couple of pints before catching a train. Barmaid occupied doing her nails or something like that and eventually got served and decided to try my luck with a second pint only to find nobody behind the bar. The Barmaid was now...

A few minutes walk from a main line train station this is pub as a proper 'local' feel about it. There is a reasonable selection of beers available both draft and on tap.The service was friendly and the pub atmosphere good although it was early...

We went in to try local beers which they had. I got Sunbeam and my husband got the Bullshead Gold. Both very drinkable - mine was fruity and light and the Bullshead Gold was hoppier and complex. Would visit again.

just opposite Piccadilly Station so nice and easy to pop into for a quick pint. Friendly staff & well-kept beer. Nice atmosphere when I was there. They even have a snug named after a long-term regular.

Looked decent so we ventured in. Nice cosy atmosphere. We went straight to the bar, and immediately mingled in with the chat. Met the landlords, Brendan and Paula, who were both good fun, and very friendly. In fact all the staff were chatty and good...

Nice welcoming staff, decent atmosphere, pint and double vodka lemonade £9.50 which isn't too bad with it being opposite train station exit. Would recommend.

a great place to meet with your friends, spot on beer and lovely staff wed had a great time and the staff were very attentive i'll go again A+++

After showing 3 different pieces of confirmation and proof of money out of the account. We were refused and turned away. The rudeness and abuse we received from the woman was unthinkable. LUCKILY booking.com where great and advised us we are getting a full refund,...

Trying to check in a for a nights stay after already PAYING IN FULL via booking.com showing numerous proof or purchases we were spoken to in a disgusting manner made to feel like we wasn't welcome and refused a nights stay, customer service is clearly...

Staff were friendly and had good banter. Good feel, when you walk in no awkward tension, that you could get walking into a pub.

Went in here while going to a concert nearby place looks nice enough but felt like it was an inconvenience to get served and £4.15 for a pint of lager scandalous

Lovely old fashioned pub. Fantastic location. Really clean and comfortable room. Very friendly and welcoming staff. Definitely stay again

stayed here before travelling to the airport. The room was lovely, very comfortable and the restaurant next door was lovely. Will definitely stay again.

Lovely rooms. spotlessly clean. comfy bed continental breakfast included. Kettle with tea.coffee provided in your room.

Stayed here for a night and, after some initial confusion regarding a bed for my son (which was sorted out promptly and efficiently), we had very peaceful night. The breakfast was fine and the staff very friendly and helpful. Thank you.

Exceptional, but very crowded in weekends. Good prices, good food, located near Piccadilly train station and MacDonal Manchester Hotel.

Recently purchased a Wowcher voucher for a meal for two in this pub. That is just what it is a PUB. On entering the premises around 16.00 hrs there was no smell of food being cooked and nobody was eating ? Had a drink and...

I stopped here for a few beers whilst In Manchester the service was ok as was the beer the tables were clean and tidy but nothing special here

The pub is superb, very elegant, wooden walls and warm atmosphere. Service and kindness of personell, all young lads and lasses, is very kind and smily. Fairly limited non "commercial " crafted tap beer available, yet those which were, tasted nice, Wizard in paricular. Menu...

This is indeed a traditional 'boozer' as someone else has said, no corporate overlay of blandness here, a proper pub complete with solitary drinkers nursing a pint at the bar. It's really convenient for Piccadilly Station, the food was tasty and I was impressed that...

We were to fly from Manchester on the Monday morning and were looking for an hotel close to the station we found the Bulls Head on line it looked good but you don't know until you arrive. The hotel was small but the accommodation was...

A handy little pub right on the doorstep for Picadilly station. Some nice beers. The wifi didnt work for me though.

A small pub with Friendly staff and a relaxing atmosphere. Drinks and food were reasonably priced. Location near the railway station

Nice little boozer near Piccadilly. We had a pint of Boondoggle and a pint of Sunbeam, both pale ales and both delicious. Barman was very friendly and there was free wifi.

Went there for a quick dinner and had a cheeseburger, I don’t do this often but this time I told the barkeep to give the chef my compliments. It was one of the best burgers I’ve ever had.

If you are only staying for a short-time and want to be in the City centre and extremely close to the train station, this is a place to stay. It's clean and tidy, a bit basic but more than value for money, as you can...

Have been here several times over the last 10 years but not been for a couple of years. Gosh what a decline. This was a nice pub near one of the busiest train stations in England and was always packed, but it was deserted this...

Great little old style boozer , opposite Piccadilly station . Called in on the way to the etihad for the acdc gig . Busy with a mixture of regulars & concert goers made this a top atmosphere . Good friendly bar staff to top it...

Stayed here and enjoyed it . Rooms were a little basic , but very comfortable and clean . The price was good too . The pub itself was very good as were the staff , good real ales on tap and good basic bar food...

Stopped by for a quick bite to eat, when visiting Manchester for a concert. Enjoyed nice bar food and very friendly and helpful staff.

My first visit after finding on the web. Good traditional pub with a very good choice of ale. Well looked after beer at a reasonable price. Will be back on my next visit for the pedigree if nothing else. If you're looking for pompous pretentious...

A good old fashioned pub within spitting distance of Piccadilly train station. Helpful staff and a good range of beers make for a great pub that is well worth a visit. If you have an hour to kill, and an attention span longer than a...

It is a while since I have visited this pub so I was pleased to see it is as it always was. A great place to drink. The location of the pub is most convenient for Piccadilly station - just across the road. As their...

When we meet friends in Manchester we often meet here due to their great beer on offer and with it being a proper pub with no tv or music so we can all have a chat to catch up A great pub, let's hope some things never change

Great pub in a good location with excellent pre match atmosphere with City fans. Superb selection of beers, hand pulled and in great condition. Well worth a visit

Stayed here with a living social voucher and everything from booking to check out was very smooth and efficient. The pub is literally across the road from Piccadilly train station. The staff were friendly and welcoming, the rooms spotless, warm and modern. Also well soundproofed...

I booked overnight accommodation at the Bulls Head based on TA reviews. The location was extremely easy to find and 1 min walk across the road for Piccadilly station. On entering the pub ( as a lone female business traveller) I was slightly daunted by...

Stopped in here for a few drinks during a business trip. This is a no nonsense, solid, traditional and very historical looking English pub. There is decent choice of Lagers and Real Ales that were very reasonably priced for a city centre pub. I recommend...

While in Manchester on business, a friend and some of his friends met me for dinner. We needed a place near Piccadilly Station that was reasonably priced and ended up at the Bulls Head. Nothing fancy here--simple, historic pub with basic decor. But, that has...

A great pub opposite Piccadilly train station: the perfect location. A huge plus to The Bulls Head is the hotel section they've put in upstairs. Clean, modern rooms with comfortable beds and brand new bathrooms, situated above the pub, and even includes complimentary beer or...
