Great John Street Hotel in Manchester

Great stay, made to feel very welcome. Room was excellent, well appointed and furnished to a high standard. Steven on the door was particularly helpful and welcoming, I will be returning.

Had a great visit to celebrate my husband's birthday with our two children. We had afternoon tea which was delicious. The staff who looked after us, namely Steven, Beata and Kinga, were not only attentive but went out of their way to speak with the children and make them feel welcome. Great food and service, we will be visiting again soon!

A modern traditional style quirky hotel perfectly placed in the centre of manchester ideal for a visit to the opera house. Spacious clean rooms, nice lounge bar/area. Only reason I gave 4 stars is the price. At £220 for the night it was £100 more than the Radisson and it isnt £100 better.

Fabulous hotel, great location and really helpful staff . Really nice room and spotlessly clean .👍👍👍

Beautiful boutique hotel with lovely interior design detail. Steve, the concierge, was extremely helpful and went out of his way to make us feel welcome.

Fab experience from the moment we arrived and greeted by Steve! The room was lovely and the bed was the most comfortable ever. Great job to the hotel team I’d definitely return.

Although the hotel doesn't have a "proper" restaurant per se, the bar serves meals. We tried the risotto and burger which were good, and the sticky toffee pudding was delicious! :)

Booked the hotel for Breakfast for my sons 21st Birthday. The service was outstanding and they really couldn’t have made us more welcome. The breakfast choice was fantastic , I had salmon/scrambled egg which was one of the best I’ve had. Staff very attentive and made the visit very special. We will certainly be booking an overnight stay to experience the hotel to the max. Fantastic

Thanks to the fabulous staff at The Great John St Hotel. Great cocktails and food complimented by staff that were so attentive we can’t wait to go back.

Great location and attention to detail. Staff couldn’t do more for you. Would strongly recommend. Rooms very nice, upstairs bathroom could be a problem for some. Excellent service

Our room was immaculate, the decor is one of a kind and the free standing bath was amazing (the bubbles smell gorgeous!) The staff were lovely, especially at Breakfast, we met the managers and they were very friendly! An all round amazing hotel, Thankyou!

Was at the hotel for a wedding including overnight stay. Staff were lovely throughout and it was a great ceremony - top food as well.

We stopped for lunch as it was nearby and had enthusiastic reviews. Lunch room is basically a bar and the ambience chilled somewhat by the Civil Service using most of the best tables for interviews. We thought they were having coffee initially or we would have sought elsewhere. The staff were helpful although a bit distracted. The burger was good, but why a brioche bun and why a stale brioche bun. If a purportedly good hotel tries to do a burger it should excel and surpass a takeaway or else not try.

I love this place and keep coming back for the fantastic food and the staff can’t do enough for you!

A great venue for a special event. I have used it for business on a number of occasions but all the staff excelled themselves on Saturday night for my wife’s 50th birthday bash. Superb bar and food service, lovely accommodation and the top floor patio area provided a special location which was enjoyed by all 75 guests. Special thanks to Vicky for helping with the arrangements, to Beata on reception and to Steven, top class service.

We stayed at the hotel last year and loved it, perfect stay. We went back yesterday to try the afternoon tea as we did not have the opportunity to on our last visit

Attended a wedding here on 19/10 - brilliant day from start to finish. Food was lovely including breakfast - although a few mistakes were made, staff apologised and were quick to sort anything out (human error is normal!) hotel room was amazing, spacious, clean & Cosy! The blackout curtains gave me an amazing sleep! Would like to also mention a special Thankyou to Steven the concierge/Staff member who was absolutely brilliant, friendly, welcoming & attentive. He is a credit to the hotel and we would definitely come back after the service we received from him. He is a credit to the hotel. Thanks again!

If you want a hotel that's not the normal recognised named hotels and you like something a little different this is for you. As there website endorses eclectic boutique hotel staff were brilliant, rooms are excellent food is superb. The setting has to be experienced to be appreciated. Wish we had booked for more nights but we will be back before Xmas.

Stayed here whilst celebrating my friends wedding. Great hotel and staff. Special mention for Steven the concierge who was very helpful and hard working.

Nos quedamos aquí como estábamos en Manchester para la final de la súper liga y qué puedo decir, qué hotel tan increíble. Desde el momento en que llegamos, el servicio fue del más alto nivel. El personal realmente amable y una mención especial al conserje Steven, que hizo todo lo posible por nosotros. Agregó algo más a nuestra experiencia en este hotel. Nunca me he alojado en un hotel que ofrezca una experiencia tan increíble. Nuestra habitación era espectacular, ojalá nos hubiéramos quedado otra noche. El bar de la azotea era encantador y disfruté de un cóctel fabuloso. Definitivamente volveremos a este hotel y lo recomendaría a todos

Here for a wedding - whilst getting ready for the day, Eddie and the night team looked after us so well in the morning! Thank you so much! Ps just don’t order the coffee!

Perfect afternoon tea with my daughter and grandma daughter. The food was delicious - nice to see sandwiches were of a generous size for an afternoon tea. Sweet pastry on the pear and almond tart was just perfect.

Popped over to Manchester for business and stayed just one night. Wish it could have been more! Clean, cozy, marvelous and considerate staff. I had just my one bag and they insisted on helping me carry it to my room. Beautiful decor and the tea was lovely.

Attentive staff, quiet and intimate venue. Enjoyed a lovely champagne afternoon tea here to celebrate my Mother’s 90th birthday. Would definitely recommend!

Absolutely fantastic food and experience. We had one traditional and one Gentleman's afternoon tea. Can't fault any of the food and totally agree with previous reviews. Very attentive staff, we will be back.

Una de las mejores experiencias de té tradicional de la tarde. Después de haber disfrutado de una combinación perfecta de sándwiches frescos con varios rellenos, deliciosos bollos recién horneados y una selección de pasteles servidos con nuestro champán y té.

We stayed here for two nights, and couldn't have been happier. Monika and Lukash went out of their way to ensure we had everything we needed, the room was so comfortable and the breakfasts were perfect. Loved this lovely hotel!!

My son and his partner were married here on the 6th July. It was a fantastic venue the food was delicious staff excellent and the rooms were lovely. Most of the guests stayed overnight and everyone was full of praise. Can highly recommend this hotel.

Fui aquí hace unos días. Y puedo decir que el servicio fue excelente. Fue todo perfecto, nuestro camarero Jhon fue atento y ofrece un servicio increíble. La comida era deliciosa y el hotel es sólo un 5 * fue perfecto para mi cena. ¡Gracias a todos!

If you are thinking of afternoon tea in Manchester you must try this place. The surroundings are gorgeous and the quality knocks the Midland Hotel into a cocked hat. The staff are great, Maria is a star.

I recently visited the hotel to have afternoon tea with friends. Had a lovely relaxing afternoon. We were served by Beata and Erika. Nothing was too much trouble for them. They were very attentive and polite. The food was delicious. As much tea and coffee as we liked. We more than outstayed our 2 hour slot but as our table was not required for other people, we were not made to feel that we should rush. I would highly recommend a visit.

The look and feel of this hotel is brilliant and the rooms are something else! However, the walls are paper thin and you can hear everything going on around you. As the rooms have mezzanine floors they are quite creaky, it actually seemed like someone was in my room at one point which when you're upstairs to the main room is abut uncomfortable.

Visited today 7th June for our wedding anniversary courtesy of our son. We were served by Beata and Maria who were very pleasant and helpful and made us feel welcome. My hubby had the gentleman's afternoon tea which consisted of a homemade cheese and onion pasty chicken goujon, mini beef burger and fries and scampi and proper chips, scone jam and cream, cheese and crackers, I had assorted finger sandwiches, trifle small fancy cakes we had 2 pots of tea the staff were wonderful and the surroundings were very nice, we had a lovely afternoon tea and we will definitely visit again.

This hotel has a fab roof terrace so it was lovely sitting out in the sunshine enjoying some drinks. Only annoyance was the lack of service. The staff were all busy clearing up after a private event so we kept having to get the lift downstairs to the ground floor bar to order and then take the drinks back up to the terrace ourselves. There was also a strange incident where I had to go to the loo in darkness because nobody could get the lights to work …

Nos registramos por 2 noches. Pagado por adelantado en la reserva. com a 400 para una suite lux. Comprobado en línea la noche anterior y la misma habitación tenía menos de 250: (La habitación realmente no es nada especial, encontró el nivel de dos niveles más complicado, arriba para llenar el hervidor, abajo para espejo para el cabello y el maquillaje, armario en el área de entrada. ¡Mini bar a precio! El aire acondicionado sonaba como si tuviéramos un tanque de peces en la habitación. En general, está bien, ¡mejor ahí afuera! ¡El personal está bien! No tenía mucho contacto con ellos.

Mi primera visita para el té de la tarde. Usé un cupón, pero definitivamente tenía una oferta de clase callejera. Acogedora habitación con sofá acolchado y mullido. Buena variedad de bocadillos. Muy fresco y bien lleno. Los bollos estaban tan frescos que se desmoronaban en tu boca. Deliciosos pasteles, no demasiado dulces, muy frescos. Té con delicada vajilla de porcelana. El personal era muy servicial y nos dejaron sentarnos y charlar. No hay presión para salir de la mesa. Qué lujo.

Had a really good feeling about the hotel as soon as I arrived. Building is lovely and full of character, rooms are unusually cosy and the restaurant was really good.

The standard of food and service was top class. The staff were very pleasant and efficient. A nice place to treat yourself

A large group of us visited for afternoon tea and were not desperately impressed. We had to pre-order due to the size of the group, but when the food was brought out we found that the menu of the gentleman’s afternoon tea had changed significantly- eg rice pudding instead of chocolate brownie/short bread for the sweet treats. When we queried it we were told it was because of Chinese New Year, and there was no apology or offer to get an alternative for those who would not have ordered this had they known what was coming. The cakes of the traditional tea were not all that great and not enough were brought out for us all.

Seis de nosotros nos reunimos para el té de la tarde en este encantador hotel. Todos tomamos el té de la tarde del caballero, pero después comimos pasteles en lugar del queso que se ofrecía. La comida era deliciosa, y todas de tamaño mini. Había una deliciosa hamburguesa con sabor a menta en un bollo, un pastel de pollo y champiñones, papas fritas, un sabroso rollo de salchicha hecho en casa con una salsa encantadora y un rollo de primavera. La selección de mini pastel que siguió también fue realmente encantadora. Tuvimos varias recargas de té, todo incluido en el precio. Nos sentamos en el entresuelo superior y el servicio fue estupendo. Sin duda volveremos.

Had a lovely aternoon tea at the Great John Street Hotel. Lots of sandwiches and fillings on differnt breads, also very tasty cakes and scones. A glass of prosseco and fruit tea. Very warm, cosy setting and very helpful, friendly staff.

We had our wedding here on the rooftop lounge, and can say it was a great experience from start to finish.

Had a voucher as a birthday gift for this lovely hotel 5 minutes walk from the Opera House. Lovely sandwiches and cakes and a glass of champagne- wonderful staff and a really relaxing and peaceful atmosphere in the bar / lounge. Booked for 3pm and we didn’t leave until 7pm - didn’t rush us out. A great way to spend a Saturday afternoon - will definitely do it again.

Nipped down the Great John street hotel for quick grab a tea .

Me alojé para aniversario y celebración de cumpleaños La azotea es sin duda lo mejor de este hotel. . . Encontré el área del bar un poco oscura. Las habitaciones son únicas con las áreas del salón, etc. . pero están un poco cansados ​​ahora.

Habíamos disfrutado de té de la tarde en el Gran John Street hace 3 años después de nuestra boda, y esperamos que la calidad de la comida y el servicio no había cambiado cuando pagamos una visita de regreso para celebrar el primer cumpleaños de nuestra hija. Afortunadamente no nos decepcionó!

Hice un té por la tarde aquí por mi padre en el cumpleaños 70 de la ley 9-12. Teníamos este reservado durante meses. Aparcamiento disponible justo afuera, sin embargo, hay un límite de tiempo, así que habíamos reservado aparcamiento en otro lugar y fuimos andando.

We have had a lovely afternoon here. The service from all the staff was outstanding from booking to the actual day. The food beautiful and fresh. Hotel charming and cosy. All the reviews are good and that’s why we chose it. Well done.

La boda de unos amigos asistieron a una noche de un domingo por la tarde. Anteriormente, para asegurarse de que avisó trajo un cubo de dinero como las bebidas a precios eran empinadas. La boda se celebró en la terraza de la azotea, que aparte de la vista era agradable. Un montón de lámparas de calor en ya que era sólo un poco de frío. El personal era muy atento y se disculpó por las bebidas caras. £8 plus para un 175 ml vaso de vino tinto y 5 libras por una botella pequeña de Peroni. Curiosamente para un marketing propio establecimiento como un emblemático hotel manchester no Ale Cask o de hecho no hay cerveza de barril. Los clientes nos sirven deslizantes y patatas fritas y pizza que estaba bien. Con sala de salidas de Manchester como pauta para los precios probablemente eran equiparables en precio vino, pero incluso el aeropuerto tiene Ale Cask en menos de £5 una pinta. No puede hacer un comentario sobre el alojamiento, ya que no nos quedamos en el hotel. Creo que el mejor tiene que ser el personal y su buena actitud. Espero comentario del director.

Recientemente tuvimos una fiesta familiar té reunión en este precioso hotel. La comida era fabulosa, con opciones vegetarianas y veganas. Teníamos una mezcla de té tradicional y caballeros y fue fabuloso. Nos proporcionaron un comedor privado y el personal era increíble. Si quieres celebrar cualquier cosa recomiendo este hotel.

Ruangan sangat bagus dan mewah. Berlokasi di dalam Hotel. menu yang disajikan sangat enak lezat dan harga cukup sesuai dengan kualitas rasa dikelasnya.

Had a lovely afternoon tea here for a family birthday. Excellent service from the minute we arrived. The staff were friendly, welcoming and even had a quiet word with the pregnant member of our party to check what she could and couldn’t eat. They had obviously noted small comments I had made when booking and remembered them on our arrival which I was impressed with. Nothing was too much trouble. We had a mix of traditional and gentlemen’s afternoon teas and both were delicious. As we were a party of ten we had our own private ‘classroom’. Once finished we went up to the third floor for drinks on the wonderful rooftop terrace. Fabulous day and we even had sunshine! Only criticism is to eclectic hotels as when I asked if the staff got the service charge they didn’t! If you decide to try it remember to tip the staff separately and don’t pay the service charge.

El mejor hotel en Manchester en los que me he alojado! Llegamos por la noche la semana pasada como una familia, tomamos una copa en el bar (clase muy alto y acogedora) antes de registrarse a nuestras habitaciones. Yo suelo beber el cóctel no estaba en el menú, pero el miembro del personal encantador (un joven llamado Jordan creo que era su nombre) dijo que podría hacer para mí:). . . Canapés gratis venía con nuestra ronda de bebidas, pan y chorizo, presentado precioso y probado tan bueno!

Lovely family Afternoon Tea, the service was very good and accommodating to our needs.

Visited Great John Street Hotel for afternoon tea and it was delicious. The staff were very friendly and attentive. Couldn't fault anythung. We will definitely recommend and return. It's a little bit more expensive but well worth it

Tuvimos merienda para despedida de soltera de mi hija, éramos un grupo mixto incluyendo vegetarianos y veganos y había mucho pone en cada elemento de la comida. Cada miembro de nuestro grupo fue satisfecha y era tan encantador que la tarifa que vegano no era después que es muy a menudo el caso.

We had drinks on the rooftop terrace, which was wonderful. We then moved to a private dinning room for afternoon tea as part of my daughters Hen Party.

We came here for a festive afternoon tea and it was really lovely. My first visit to this place & it was a lovely cosy atmosphere. Catered well for my vegetarian friend also. We stayed for a drink afterwards too and enjoyed. Professional service.

A friend took me to Great John Street Hotel at the weekend for afternoon tea. We had heard that it...

Fuimos a este hotel inusual para un té de la tarde para celebrar un cumpleaños. Reservamos en línea que fue eficiente y confirmado rápidamente por recepcionista. Al llegar nos recibieron cálidamente y llevaron a la mesa. Personal amable y sirve rápidamente. Bocadillos eran inusuales con...

Más allá de nuestra visita esta tarde, sólo quería poner en escrito lo que nos defraudó con la comida y el servicio de hoy. Yo quería tratar mi madre (intolerante a la lactosa) para su cumpleaños y estaba encantado cuando Maxwell me aconsejó, por correo...

Buen hotel, habitaciones parecía genial. Ahora el pero, bebidas muy caras, cerveza embotellada, sin proyecto, más de £4 por una botella que puede ser comprado para el 4 por 4 libras. 99 de un supermercado, entonces tienen un descaro a escondidas en una £0. 45...

Visitamos la Escuela Gran John Street para el té como un regalo del aniversario por la tarde. Compartimos ambos un tradicional y una tarde de caballeros y ambos eran de excelente calidad, con mucha variedad. Para nosotros el té de caballeros era la mejor relación...

No puedo recomendar este hotel lo suficiente a cualquiera que esté pensando en casarse o sosteniendo una función aquí. Desde la primera reunión hasta la hora de salida nos cuidaron por personas que se interesaban a nuestros clientes experiencia y su trabajo en su nombre....

I was treated to an afternoon tea here for my 50th.

I had organised a champagne afternoon tea at the Great John Street hotel on Saturday 26th August for my sister for the start of her hen weekend in Manchester with a group of friends... and we couldn't of had a more perfect start to our celebrations! From the moment we arrived to when we left the staff were there to cater for any need we had and made our experience so enjoyable! We had a train delay which meant we was late arriving for our afternoon tea which was no problem for the hotel and they were more than happy to wait for us and took all of our luggage and stored in their luggage room so we could enjoy the afternoon tea. The food was delicious and the portion sizes were more than enough. Enough that we had to box some and take with us to our apartment which we ate during the weekend and was still impressed by how delicious it was! The hotel itself is beautifully decorated and we was lucky enough to have our afternoon tea in a private room which made our celebrations more special. Thank you so much for starting our trip to Manchester off in the best possible way! We couldn't have asked for anything more. An extra thank you to Diane who took complete care of us all and made our experience what it was! If you are thinking of booking the afternoon tea here then don't give it a second thought and book it!

We have just returned from a wedding that was held in the hotel and had the pleasure to stay in this lovely hotel.The staff couldn't have been more helpful to the 150+ guests.From the moment you enter reception we were looked after until the time we left.Our car was safely delivered outside the hotel when we were ready to leave and bottles of water placed in the car for our journey.We were all treated so well and nothing was too much trouble.This was a lovely gem of a hotel to find.Every room is beautifully designed with the school house theme running throughout the hotel.The attention to detail is noticeable, from the wallpaper to the piles of books strategically placed.Thank you, we shall be staying with you next time we are in Manchester.

Visited here with my partner on Sunday as we had booked a deal though Bookatable. £17.50pp was absolutely brilliant value. We were seated in The Library which was fab-absolutely love the decor in this hotel. The service, portion sizes (even if we had paid full price) and presentation were all excellent. My only criticism would be that most of the cakes were very rich, to the point that I could only eat half of everything (and I never leave food on my plate!). Would be better to mix it up with more fruity/lighter options.

We had afternoon tea for four yesterday and were disappointed with the display and filling of the sandwiches which were like doorstops/bricks on a plate with no garnish or presentation!. Our party was three ladies and one gentleman and we would have liked to order the gentleman's afternoon tea for our gentleman but the booking form says minimum two persons. Strangely you could order one gentleman's afternoon tea if you paid a further amount for an alcoholic drink!!! where is the logic in that?On questioning the waitress she insisted that it was possible to order one gentleman's afternoon tea but notice was needed. They need to correct the booking form as it is misleading. We were also seated close to the door so there was constant traffic passing by. All in all we would not go back again.

Afternoon tea for two was really nice , the area where had afternoon tea was really quirky sat on a comfortable sofa and the sandwiches and cakes were served all freshly made and great quality . Great buzz with place and to me seemed good value against places of this quality. Recommend booking well in advance

Service and quality of food is excellent. If sunny go for the roof top terrace. Would be my first choice for afternoon tea

Had afternoon tea as given a christmas present for the Gentlemans tea. Have first to say the hotel is an old schoolhouse, we entered the lounge/bar area but our table was up on the balcony and we felt the atmosphere was not as good as downstairs.Having said that still stylish and we liked the mismatched china on the tables. The food was superb with a good variety of items, scotch egg was fantastic as was the chicken and leek pie. Fish and chips and a wanton also included. For desert a most moist brownie and was divine with ice cream and cheese and biscuits. Our daughter had the ladies which comprised a number of sandwiches and a super selection of cakes. All served with a glass of champagne and a selection of teas.A most enjoyable experience.

On arrival we were made very welcome by the lady at Hotel Reception and the lady who showed us to our upstairs table. The waitress came very quickly to show us the special tea menu. We ordered tea and a bottle of sparking water which came quickly followed by a plate of small burger French chips small square of fish and two recooked thick chips a Prawn wanton a scotch egg and a small dish of chicken and leak pie with a white puff pasty lid. We were not asked if we wanted any condiments to go with them I would have liked salt and vinegar and mayo and tartar sauce. The air conditioning was very cold and although I eat quite quickly the pie and burger were cool. The food was tasty Then the waitress brought us cheese and crackers and brownie with ice cream all on the same plate which I thought was strange. There was no butter for the crackers and we were not asked if we needed anything. Not asked if we wanted more tea which by now was stone cold. We waited 10 means nobody came so we went to the bar and paid for the water we used a birthday present voucher for the food. What a shame our first impression from the two ladies who greeted us was not continued for our meal. For what we had to eat I would say it is overpriced but tasty

I came here for my 18th birthday with one friend. I did quite a bit of research into the different tea rooms in my area but I found them to be not suited to the situation (too informal etc.) and, in some cases, too reliant on themes such as Mad Hatter's tea rooms and the like. What I found at the Great John Street rooms was a fantastic atmosphere with a very modish interior - incredibly comfortable with a particularly pleasant attention to interior design. There was an incredibly wide variety in terms of tea available - to the point at which my friend and I had specific flavours to accommodate the tier of foods we were eating at the time. There was a choice of ladies' and gentlemen's tea; I am not sure what the difference is (as we both had the ladies').The food was excellent and held a wide span from finger sandwiches to macarons. As it was my birthday I also received a complementary slate with strawberries and rocky roads. I'd definitely recommend the Great John Street Hotel - although my experience was as a birthday event I would highly recommend it for, say, formal lunches - there were also other guests who looked as though they were celebrating bridal showers etc.

Some friends and I booked the champagne afternoon tea package at the Great John Street Hotel. One of our group members suffers from a range of severe food allergies including an allergy to nuts, strawberries and cream and the hotel staff were advised of this when the booking was made. Another of the group follows a vegan diet (and again the staff were advised of her dietary requirements). On the day of the afternoon tea a member of the hotel staff contacted my friend to discuss her food allergies. As a group we were really looking forward to the tea and had high expectations - we were to be extremely disappointed.When tea was served a general cake stand was provided for those eating a standard diet and separate tea stands were provided for the vegan member of the party and for the individual with the food allergies. An explanation was given of the items on the stands and my friend was advised that all of the items on her cake stand were safe for her to eat. A few minutes later a waiter came along and said that the wrong stands had been given out and insisted that the stands should be swapped with the vegan tea being given to the person with allergies - the stand included a cake with a huge walnut on it, a chocolate dipped strawberry and a cream based dessert. After being challenged on this the waiter eventually agreed to remove the stand and after a little while came back with the replacement tea - this consisted of a single scone, a chopped apple and a few segments of chocolate dipped orange - a poor selection in view of the cost. We were not offered any tea or champagne and so eventually we had to specifically request that these be served. After asking twice we eventually received these.When we had finished eating we were left with the used dishes in front of us for over an hour - one friend started to clear the dishes so that we could have a little space around us. We ordered some drinks and even when they were brought the waiter didn't clear the tables - in fact as they were so crowded he brought a small cabinet to place the wine bucket on as he couldn't fit anything on the table!The next day I rang the hotel and asked to speak to the duty manager to discuss the poor service that we had received. I was advised by the receptionist that the manager was in a meeting but that someone would call me back later to discuss my complaint. When around 10 days later she hadn't called I rang again and eventually spoke to the duty manager at length - she assured me that she would call me back with a response within a week. A week and a half later I still had not received a response and so I contacted the hotel again, spoke to reception again, explained the situation again and once again was told that the manager was in a meeting and that she would call me back. Three weeks on she still hasn't called.I am bitterly disappointed with the level of service we received during the tea and certainly with the failure of the hotel management to try to address the numerous concerns that I have advised them of. We chose to go to Great John Street Hotel because we assumed that we would have an afternoon to remember - we will, but not for the right reasons.

Visited for afternoon tea last Saturday. We have been before and had a great time so we were looking forward to it. However we were both a bit disappointed with the food/drink. Venue is lovely and the tea room is very nice and cosy. On arrival we went to the bar, I wanted a glass of prosecco however they only sell champagne, which is fine but I would prefer to see a drinks menu. I asked for a gin & tonic and the barman started to make it without giving me a choice of gins, when I asked for the selection it was very small choice and all very standard gins- not what I would expect from a boutique hotel in Manchester at this time. My husband was also disappointed in the ale selection, again used to most places offering unusual craft ales. Our afternoon tea drinks arrived, were very nice and good selection, however each section came out as a separate course, with afternoon tea it should all come out together. It could have been because we were seated on a really really small table so everything wouldn't have fitted, so small that we also had a foot stool for the drinks. I had the standard menu, sandwiches and cakes were delicious and very well presented. My husband had the gentleman's and it was not up to the same standard. There was plenty and it looked a good selection but we expected better quality ingredients, chicken & leek pie - the filling was extremely rich and the puff pastry top was poor, the slider was average meat with a tomato, piece of dim sum was ok, scotch egg average, mini fish & chips was nice. For dessert, brownie & ice cream which was nice but not very imaginative but the cheese and crackers were extremely poor- it included two types of cheese - Brie and cheddar and Jacobs crackers, he said the chutney was nice. I've visited several of the Electic hotels and this just didn't feel up to the usual standard.

Came for Afternoon tea with my husband - a treat from son and daughter-in-law - we were seated just inside the doors to the roof garden as it was a sunny day but windy, The staff were lovely and service was relaxed (we were not in a rush!) I had the Champagne AT and my husband the Gentleman's AT we shared some of each and found the quantity of each just right - everything was presented beautifully, service was attentive and extra pot of tea offered and accepted. All in all a great experience we have reccomended to others and will be repeated.

We stayed here may 2017 had lunch on the terrace , gorgeous food, and the staff were so nice and so helpful cannot fault this hotel, and will looking forward to going back in july

Booked afternoon tea for my mums 80th birthday. The food was lovely but service really not good. Lots of staff walking around with clipboards who were all very nice but seemed to have no clue about what afternoon tea should be. We actually had to ask for the tea! We asked for more sandwiches and the manager came over and explained to us that we were only allowed 5 fingers each! Really?? We had one small pot of jam between 7 of us and had to ask for more.This could be such a lovely event but there really is a training issue. Serving of afternoon tea is a skill and I'm sorry none of the staff, as nice as they were, have it.

Beautiful rooms a few to choose from, roof top jacuzzi just grab ur dressing gown and head of up to the terrace staff very polite receptionist very welcoming Valet parking is also the best vey secure only minutes to get your. Car back £25.00

We have enjoyed afternoon tea/ gentleman's afternoon tea many times at this hotel.Comfortable chairs and settees,desirable sandwiches, scones and cakes and as much tea as you wish.The decor is shabby chic with non matching cups, saucers and plates.However, on this occasion we were disappointed by being given heavy non china cups and one had a fine crack in it which leaked!Come on Great John Street, purchase more china and ensure an excellent rating.

Always fantastic service and rooms are luxury and worth what you pay for them. Nothing is too much trouble, we have been staying here for years and never had a bad stay. We have also hired the hotel on an exclusive basis for a party and they could not have been more supportive. Wonderful rooms, ambience, service and food!

Attended a fantastic wedding reception at the hotel. The staff were very accommodating, the food was excellent and the service good.

My sons and I stayed here for one night to attend a family wedding in the hotel. What a beautiful setting but also a very comfortable, cosy hotel too. The balance between aesthetically pleasing whilst also making you feel at home was perfect. The wedding worked so well in the hotel and the setting only added to what was an amazing and lovely day. The hotel bedrooms were 5* with all needs catered for - nice fluffy towels and delicious smelling toiletries. All in all one of the nicest hotels I have ever staying in both in the uk and worldwide. Well done Great John Street Hotel.

I visited here with some friends. We booked a private room which felt very much like a board room and the actual main part by the bar looked much more appealing However, the staff were very attentive and polite, everywhere was clean and the Gentleman's Tea was very nice. It consisted of a mini burger a mini fish on two chunky chips, a basket of fries (??? a bit odd since serving the fish on two chips) a mini chicken a leek pie which was AMAZING, half a scotch egg (slightly over cooked) and a won ton, a cheese selection and a delicious chocolate brownie. It was served with a bourbon cocktail which I didnt drink and would have prefered to have swapped this for a different drink but were disappointingly told this wasn't an option, all in all it was a lovely visit and we were very well looked after.

I booked online which isn't a great system however when we arrived they checked our order it was wrong, it took a lot of backwards and forwards and talking to the kitchen and finally I had to pull up the email which states what I booked and finally they decided we could have what we'd booked. This left a slightly sour note to the rest of the time. The building and the room is lovely, very cosy and you do feel like you're in your own little corner with how the tables are set out. The gentleman's afternoon tea was lovely and would recommend as the selection you receive is the best we've found so far and every element was cooked lovely. Staff kept our teas filled up too. We were told repeatedly that we had to leave by 2.30 for a large booking however we had finished at 1.45 and couldn't find anyone to give us the bill till 2.20I probably would return as the food is great but would make it as an extra long catch up with the girls!

We enjoyed a lovely Sunday afternoon tea here. I had the gentleman's tea and my partner the ladies tea. Both were excellent. The staff were friendly and very capable. The building has a delightful character.

Had a lovely afternoon tea at this hotel, due mainly to a special offer. We had a ladies and gentlemen tea to share, both equally as nice. The initial entrance to the hotel was quite disorganised, which took the edge off the experience. Would have tea there again.not sure that I would stay in the hotel, needs some refurbishment.

A friend of mine said I have booked us somwhere pack your bag and make sure you bring you swimwear. The taxi took us to the Great John Street Hotel, it was one of the best surprises I have ever had, this place is beautiful and very unique, every room is different and sooo luxurious, there is fabulous history with this place too, it used to be an old school. We had glasses of bubbly in the hot tub and enjoyed the night skyline of Manchester. I have since surprised a few of my friends in this way one being my daughter and they all had the very same reaction. I treat my daughter every year and they give her a Lovely warm reception. You have to try this place xx

What a wonderful place to go whether you are there for the evening or just to eat. Very pleasant staff. The service reflects the constant thrive of the guests. Well done.. I will be returning with my friend as I doubt they will have experienced such a beautiful hotel.

Organised for boyfriends birthday. Was worried it was a bit expensive but actually amazingly good value. Wonderful food, lots of drinks and fantastic service. Will be back!

Superb afternoon tea, staff were extremely polite and professional, excellent service. Beautiful old hotel, food wonderful.

What a fab hotel tucked off a side street. Lovely decor and ambience from the minute you enter. We had the gentlemans afternoon tea which is a more manly version of the traditional afternoon tea. Portion sizes were great and all the food was lovely. Good value for money. Staff were friendly and food service was good. Def worth a visit if your after a twist on afternoon tea.

We had my daughters wedding here. What a beautiful setting, the food etc was great but the staff were quite rude at times. It did dampen what should have been an amazing day.

I've just visited with 5 family members for afternoon tea and it was lovely! The sandwiches and cakes were all really tasty as was the gents afternoon tea with cheese and biscuits and a great selection of tea available. My only critique is we all agreed we didn't like the pie in the gents afternoon tea, it was a little tasteless and too watery but apart from that everything else was superb. The decor is really lovely and the staff very polite and attentive.

Spent the night here in one of their two level bedrooms with four poster. It was one of the best nights sleep Ive ever had.The hotel is very nicely decorated and the bar area is sublime. Nice touch serving free sample snacks with drinks. Love it well recommended

We were given vouchers for afternoon tea as a Christmas present so didn't know what to expect on our visit. We were greeted at the reception on arrival and shown into the bar and restaurant area; we were greeted there by Marlena who was very friendly and engaging. We had a Ladies and Gentleman's afternoon tea and it was a very enjoyable experience and made the more enjoyable by Marlena who look after us really well indeed. Lovely touch being able to try different teas from a very extensive menu of teas. The best afternoon tea experience we have had to date; well done.

I submitted by mistake a review for the rooftop bar which was for the hotel. This is my favourite boutique hotel in Manchester a special find I came across it on a one off when I was invited to a special event with a friend. Food is delicious has such a cozy feel but with a classy touch. Highly recommend if you prefer ambience and would enjoy a drink instead of busy nightclubs and bars.

Great experience. Lovely setting. Food mostly excellent and hot, much preferred the gentleman's afternoon tea . Impressed that we could try as many tea drinks as we wanted and Marlena who looked after us was excellent.

I booked the gentleman's version for my boyfriend's birthday. The food and service was excellent. The savoury items are served first as they are all hot, followed later by the desserts but with a good enough break in between. We couldn't manage all of the food so we took some of the desserts home in a box. Can't wait to go again!
