The Mitre in Manchester

The location of the hotel is great, it is right next to the cathedral and it is a central hotel very close to the square. But it's old and it's very bad to use shared bathrooms. You are waiting in line to enter the toilet. Breakfast was sufficient. Classic English breakfast is served, fruit and yoghurt was nice.

Great pub hotel in a super location. Rooms are old but service is fantastic

Excellent hotel, in the center of Manchester, very rich breakfast

The Mitre was a great place for a budget overnight stay. Great location, lovely staff, decent breakfast. Would definitely stay again as it's so near to gig venues and Northern quarter...😀

The hotel is in a prime location, right in the center. Staff were very friendly. Unfortunately, the room was not really clean, and the restaurant downstairs was also not very clean. Breakfast was disappointing, the hot part was good. In terms of bread, there was only casino bread, nothing more. A croissant or hard roll would have been nice.

Ideal for Manchester attractions if you don't want to stay in a chain hotel and somewhere with character

Great bar in a good location in central Manchester. Friendly bar staff made it an enjoyable experience. 👍🏼

The Mitre hotel is an old but quite pleasant looking hotel from the outside. Inside up towards the rooms have wonky and never steps but ok for people who don't have hip or back issues like myself. Was upgraded to a room with a bath with which I was grateful for as was much needed with 4 days walking around Manchester and Liverpool. The buffet brekkie was lovely but need to get down early as we came down at 9.30am on Thursday and there was only 2 pieces of bacon left and very little of anything else. Staff were all lovely and welcoming and was on hand for anything we needed. We were in a room with the cathedral view and was amazing to hear the bells on one evening. House keeping needs to pay more attention to detail as still some hairs left in the bath, rubbish under the beds and towels unclean but overall had a good stay here

The good: a nice large room that was reasonably clean. And, yes, very centrally located… albeit also noisy for the same reason. The bad: to get hot water in the shower required turning on and running water in the sink until warm (about 5m) and only then running the shower. Staff ranging from amazingly helpful…. like showing you how to encourage hot water to your room….to one fellow who seemed totally disinterested to hearing the answers to his own questions. And lastly, i never did quite get to the bottom of why this pub lost its licence to serve alcohol but couldn’t get it back without some serious cleaning….. !!?

Charactered - a little frayed around the edges

The hotel was super noisy. It's a city centre hotel which overlooks bars with outdoor seating. What was not expected however was a busker playing music from an ipad, linked up to a small PA system. He was "dj-ing" from 2pm to 9pm and apparently is there illegally every Friday and Saturday and has been doing this more than a year. We ended up phoning noise control. The hotel staff were very polite about my complaints. I couldn't believe that the hotel were putting up with this noise issue and letting out rooms to families knowing that they'd not be able to sleep until the busker stopped. Other than the noise, the hotel was very scruffy and basic. There were only slatted blinds in the room so this didn't keep the light out. TV only worked intermittently due to poor digital reception.

Got unlimited tea and coffee and milk. Let us in real quick and gave us shelter from the rain

I visited the mitre with family and friends and as a landlord myself the service given to my group Was extremely exemplary from the persons who served us Lucy, she was exceptional she was knowledgeable about her drinks not only to our group but to others as I could hear and see as we was sat right by the bar, she showed exemplary service to all she served and is a credit to the business, thank you for looking after us during our time and the customers you continue to serve, much appreciated.

Wow. What a fantastic hotel. In an amazing location. Thankyou all involved.

This place has a lot of history given it is right besides the 500 year old Wellington bar and Sinclairs that’s famous for waitress Molly who throws cold water if you stay behind too long at the bar. They have good refreshing beer and plenty of screens inside to catch a game if you’re interested, Service was friendly for a place that is so busy and central.

Great place right in the heart opposite Manchester Cathedral

Great little pub an feels like a pub too great service an vast range of drinks

called in a glass of wine (£9.50 welcome to Manchester). Bar maid asked if I wanted ice in it? Said no and asked if the wine was cold, she said yes. wasn't it was room temp so I asked for some ice (easy life) but ice in wine WTF??? There is only one job whith white wine put it in the fridge. Walked upstairs and was told I couldn't sit there as it was for dinning despite 6 plus free tables. Overall warm wine and a Luke warm welcome.

Fantastic stay at the hotel. If I returned to Manchester I would repeat there. Good price, spectacular buffet breakfast (English Breakfast) (although the coffee would improve). The bathrooms in the rooms are small but expected in an old and historic building right next to the German Fachwerkhäuser which are next door full of atmosphere and very central.

I wasn’t a guest but I just went in for a quick soft drink on a sunny day. Nice bar setup and the staff seemed friendly.

Terrible treatment of customers by security, especially a blonde girl. I will file a complaint for attempted assault, bar restaurant, not recommended.

Spectacular location, in the most beautiful corner of the city, next to Shambles square and in front of the cathedral. I had a single room with breakfast included for two nights, for a total price of 152 pounds (about €178). The building is old, and the room had carpet in fair condition and a floor that creaked constantly. My room overlooked the pubs in the square, and as Saturday and Sunday nights passed, the noise was considerable, although fortunately it ended soon. Otherwise, spacious room, with TV, heating, ironing equipment, kettle, complimentary coffee and tea, bedside table and a chair. The bed was very comfortable. It did not have a closet, but rather a metal structure with hangers for clothes. There were no dispensers in the bathroom, only a bar of soap, and a shower with little pressure. As is usual in this type of building, there was no elevator and the stairs were very narrow with very high steps. Very friendly receptionists; As a curiosity, and even though I had paid for the room in advance, they forced me to present a credit card and charged me one pound, which they later returned to me. The breakfast was not bad; coffee, bottled juice, toast, and all the components of the typical English breakfast: beans, bacon, sausages, scrambled eggs, hashbrown, mushrooms, etc. etc In summary, and despite the negative points already mentioned, it is not a bad option; In relation to quality-price it is almost impossible to find something better.

Ideal location for centre Manchester, opposite cathedral. everything else a real let down.

Great, friendly staff, great breakfast. Sadly, the en suite for my room, in the Cathedral rooms, was a joke. The wash basin overhangs the toilet, as the picture shows!

Lovely bar, very warm and welcoming........ Over £15 for 2 drinks!!!! Jog on

Pleasant stay. Friendly staffs, good breakfast. Close to attractions especially Hard Rock Cafe Manchester.

The Mitre Bar and Restaurant is part of a hotel. Right beside the Cathedral so in a great location. Nice selection of beers and good service.

As a family we love the Mitre and make sure we visit every time we are in Manchester. I went yesterday with my two boys for some lunch, I ordered two sandwiches and a bowl of chips, after waiting quite a while I mentioned at the bar we still hadn’t received our food, ten minutes later it still hadn’t arrived and no staff member had been to see us to apologise or explain so I went to the bar again and asked for a refund and mentioned that it must have been over an hour since we ordered. Our food arrived as I was at the bar so as we were so hungry we sat down and ate only to have a member of staff come over with the till receipt and tell me “that you ordered your food at 14.02pm and it is now 14.55pm “to which I said do you not think that is a long time for two sandwiches and a bowl of chips???, apparently the pub was really busy and that’s how long it takes !!!!, the pub wasn’t busy at all and I would hate to order food there when the pub WAS busy !, brilliant customer service to confront a customer with the till receipt to prove it wasn’t over an hour we had to wait it was 53mins instead and then we were offered a free drink which I declined, very passive aggressive.

A couple of us called in here early on a Thursday afternoon and had a really nice time. In this historic part of the city, there is a nice outside seating area which we started at. Unfortunately, the rains came and we had to go inside, but the interior of the pub is also very nice indeed. The service was great. There is an excellent selection of beers and we were struggling to choose so the barman voluntarily gave us a couple of tests which was much appreciated. Not a part of Manchester we come too often, but maybe another visit is on the cards as we really enjoyed being in among such history.

Superb stay..bed really comfy breakfast 10/10.. so close to Arndale centre.. just a few min walk.. clean and tidy...good price too... just what we needed for our shopping break

I visited this bar & restaurant yesterday and it was a pleasant experience. The bar was very busy but there was no waiting around to be served, they have a good staff to customer ratio. I sat down and browsed the menu. Unfortunately my table was wobbling and leaned to one side but there were no other tables free, so I managed to balance it out with my bag! I had the Spinach & Chickpea curry which was delicious. It was fragrant & flavoursome. I ordered it with a side of chunky chips which were some of the best chips I have had. The service was generally ok but there are areas for improvement, for example I was handed my meal without a word said but please and thank yous were said at the bar. The hotel is located to the rear of the bar, which is handy if you want to enjoy the cocktails and have somewhere to 'crash'. I would definitrly reccomend Mitre for drinks and meals.

Was looking all around Manchester for a proper 'greasy spoon' as it were or just an old school British cafe that does a decent fry-up. A gentleman selling joke books outside in the shopping area said 'The Mitre' does a great breakfast and he wasn't wrong! The food was delicious and the wait wasn't even long. Just what I needed after the previous night of a few drinks. I'd like to give a special shoutout to the lovely staff members Keaton and Ellie (forgive me if I've spelt them wrong) they were both very welcoming and couldn't be more courteous (especially as me and my mate weren't even guests staying in one of the rooms) I noticed they had some rude customers and they handled themselves like professionals the entire time.

Friendly welcoming staff, reception manned 24hours Simple room clean and tidy with TV, WiFi and tea making facilities Quiet for the centre of Manchester Convenient walking distance form the AO arena The "mighty Miter" breakfast was good and filling

Loved it here. Great atmosphere and got a great seat for the fury fight. We enjoyed our expresso martinis and desperadoes

La ubicación es lo que tiene, en la preciosa Shambles square, tiene terraza y muchos espacios con mesas en interior, incluso una salida trasera con terraza que asoma a la catedral. Y claro, en el precio se nota

Location for me and my partner was brilliant, within close proximity to shops, the Arndale Centre and a couple of nice pubs close by -brilliant atmosphere! We stayed in the executive Double Room that was a lot larger than we thought it would be! They have extra facilities at the reception desk if you need a hairdryer etc. that was super helpful. The bar area also offers 20% discount for hotel guests which I thought was brilliant, but unfortunately didn't get the chance to use as I was on a course nearby the next morning. Have a stamp loyalty card and after a few stamps you get a free stay and also offer discounts on further stays. No faults with the place whatsoever, even the staff were really nice and helpful.

I was visiting Manchester for work and when being checked in I was positively greeted by Liam behind the counter. His tone of voice and positivity lit up my day. He was more than happy to help with my queries and recommendations around the city. I will definitely be returning due to his professionalism. He’s a great asset to your company

My brother paid for us to stay here for 1 night on 26th Feb as we were going to see John Bishop at the AO arena. The room was very spacious and was very clean, bit noisy with being above a pub but you get what you pay for. Close proximity to the shops and train station. The staff were lovely and Holly on reception, was lovely when we left. Will definitely stay again.

Room nothing like the picture, not a very welcoming host at all and although checkout is 10:30 i have left early due to the fact there has been a drinks delivery at 07:45 which couldn’t be louder if it tried. 45 mins of barrels being rolled and tossed like a game of Donkey Kong. Absolutely disgusting level of noise

What a location absolutely central for everything we stayed 1 night the room was spacious and clean with very comfortable beds. The staff at the bar and at reception were very welcoming and pleasant well worth the money

Central location in the city centre a small walk from Victoria train station. Happy friendly staff competitive prices lovely atmosphere. Ellie deserves a promotion!

Central to markets shops and bars . Beds comfortable . Yea and coffee facilities, iron and ironing board . Warm room , bit dated but no complaints. Would stay here again .

Efficient friendly service with basic good cooking , fries, garlic bread, hummus all excellent , clean areas .

Visited whilst shopping in Manchester and before a gig at the arena. Friendly staff, plus 25% off with your gig ticket. Music was brilliant in the evening and people were dancing. Sad that I lost my new blossoms bucket hat after a few too many!!

We had lunch here, just a wrap and a sandwich each which both came with lots of fries and a side salad. Food was very nice and reasonable prices. Nice staff. We sat outside, it was nice, maybe the tables and chairs could be better

Room looked nothing like the picture, wasn’t even enough room to open the suitcase, things broken and no room to get in the toilet

A night in Manchester . Lovely room overlooking Manchester Cathedral. Very large with stand alone bath. Very friendly staff. Discounts on food & drinks for hotel guests. Cracking food too.

Whilst most people were intelligent enough to abide by the rules during this 'tighter restrictions' period, there were a number of guests simply ignoring it and yet still being greeted by the staff as though it was ok??? There was also a party going on...

Stayed here on the 30th August at a cracking price of just £35 inclusive of breakfast. Staff were lovely and engaging, drinks were on offer for hotel guest with a 20% discount. The breakfast was fantastic value for money as is the hotel, when visiting...

Thank you so much Harry and all the staff at this lovely friendly pub. We will be back again. Andrew is a gem.

This hotel is fabulous and in the best location - very very reasonable and recently refurbished- the staff were all so friendly and nice and helpful - on our next trip to Manchester we will definitely stay here again and recommend it to everyone

We wanted to avoid the train station cafes , and found this place for breakfast before catching our train. We took a Mighty Mitre and a Vegetarian breakfast, both were excellent. The staff was very friendly and warm , the place is charming and beautiful.

Only went to the bar. Staff fantastic. 3rd meal slightly later but even though we were happy to wait, we had apologies and were recompensed. Lovely place!

Did not stay here just popped in for drinks and a bite after seeing SCD at the arena. First thing you notice when you walk in is the great atmosphere, really friendly helpful staff, bar area well laid out with plenty of space, great range...

Recently stayed at The Mitre Hotel with one other friend. The room was a bargain price and the hotel is in a great location with plenty of parking nearby without having to drive into the centre of the city. We were actually given a free...

This venue used to be quite elegant but is in need of a refurb, the decor has become shabby but not chic, it has badly fallen behind all the neighbouring bars. Sadly it felt dirty and outdated

My partner and I stayed one night in the hotel, I assume the room given to us does not represent every room but our stay was less than satisfactory. The room was tiny, with a big bed which made it difficult to walk around. The...

We visited the mitre on the 27th July, the location is perfect for a quiet drink and the staff are really nice and helpful. Callum in particular gave us quick service as well as making effort to speak to us and make us feel welcome.

We popped in to get out of the rain and were really surprised how good the Mitre is. The menu has a good range and they have three top quality European beers on draft

While walking around Manchester we happened upon this lovely bar. It was quiet when we arrived and there were loads of tables available inside and outside. We ordered our food (you order at the bar and give your table number). The girl who took the...

While wandering around the streets of Manchester we saw the sign outside this establishment advertising "Coffee, Tea and Cake". Went into the bar at 11.30am and asked a decaf coffee, a tea and some cake to eat outside on the tables provided. Instead of cake...

We just hopped in after a tour to grab a beer. Very welcoming, nice staff with a good selection of beers.

No chance of getting to sleep as the empty bar under the rooms keeps the music blasting out at so far 23:30. The night manager was good and tried to help but he has no control over the bat music who have been told to...

Called in on Monday for a drink and lunch. Very friendly staff, good quality beer. However, despite other reviews the food was over cooked and was left. Poor impression will use the Crown and Anchor (next door) in the future.

Stayed 1 night for Westlife concert. The staff was welcoming and friendly, food was perfect from the bar downstairs and room was perfect. Tried to book a second night but was fully booked. Highly recommended quaint little hotel. Planning a second stay

Great location to have a refreshing beer, some lovely looking building, good price for the peroni and the staff were friendly and efficient, good seating area outside to people watch.

We had a wonderful day in the Mitre today with friends. Staff are very attentive and friendly. The atmosphere is vibrant. Excellent food and drink

We spent one night at the Mitre hotel. Fabulous location, our window overlooked the beautiful Manchester Cathedral. We found the tiny room and beds to be comfortable and cosy. We didn’t have any hot water unfortunately and the walls must be very thin because it...

Great venue for meeting friends for drinks and very good food at reasonable prices. Clean comfortable friendly staff. Will visit again

Visited The Mitre just after midday on a Friday. The bar area is very light and modern. We all ordered food from burgers, wraps and fish and chips etc. The food was pretty below average to be honest. My burger and chips was too be...

Check in was quick and pleasant, we stayed in room 18. The room was lovely and clean very spacious staff were very friendly and welcoming

Situated next the cathedral it was an ideal place to sit outside and have a few beers, which we did. Bathed in sunshine it was good and so was the lager. Didn't dine so couldn't comment on the food.

Just home from visiting this place. Attended for a meeting as our usual venue was booked up. About 10 of us discussing financial matters. Verbal abuse from 3 “men” sat near us for unknown reasons. Can’t blame the mitre itself as ar*eholes are everywhere. Went...

Nice enough bar, small & staff friendly. Quite expensive i thought. In a nice area with a few outdoor seats.

It bills itself as a cocktail and champagne bar. But it’s more like a lunch venue. Not we thought it would be but drinks were ok. Wouldn’t make an effort to return.

Visited the bar on Saturday with family, we were intending having a few drinks but soon changed our minds. Service was very slow, ok it was busy but so was every other bar we had been in and we were served in half the time!...

So we stayed in 2 rooms, 1 of which was a large double with a window and the other a small double with no window - not much price difference but the larger one was not the best. Bathroom has a swimming pool style shower...
