Stylish comfortable bar situated in the lobby/reception of Leven.My partner and I just nipped in for a quick aperitif.Very friendly welcome, with a great menu of drinks/cocktails.I had a glass of Champagne and for £10 the taste was exceptional.The place was very comfortable with big lounges or smaller seating.Everything about the place exuded style.Perfect for a quick cocktail if you are in the area.

Super nice hotel. Friendly staff, very uncomplicated, helpful and chill. The hotel is a perfect starting point for excursions by foot around the city, as it is so central and in a colourful area of Manchester. Lots of splendid restaurants and bars all around. We had a room towards the street, and even though it was party all night, the insulation was so good, that it was quiet. Full recommendation!

Fantastic hotel, lovely staff, rooms awesome. On another weekend all would be fab, if your out partying in Canal Street all night you’ll love it, if you’re out elsewhere and want toSleep between 1-5am, I’d look somewhere else. We expected noise due to location but even the ear buds and white noise couldn’t help. Didn’t sleep until 5am due to ongoing nightlife outside :-(

My agency have booked my stay at Leven multiple times over the years and more often than not I have been satisfied with my stay, the staff are polite and friendly, rooms are clean. Besides the noise on either side of the hotel I’ve usually had a comfortable stay. However on a few occasions I've arrived at the hotel and a booking that I’ve had confirmation for has not been on their system leaving me having to find another hotel with the help of my agent at almost midnight on one of these nights. On this occasion a booking was made and paid for, for a 2 night stay and was cancelled last minute (for both nights) when I arrived I spoke with my agent who had checked with reception and she was told that it had all gone through. This morning I then checked again with reception and was told that in fact I had no booking for this evening and all rooms were now fully booked. I had to leave for work and had left my belongings in my room and told one of the staff that I’d get the agent who made the booking to call and discuss again as she had received confirmation and was told earlier the day before that they had me down for the 2 nights under that booking. Whilst at work my agent had told me that other than “sorry” no explanation had been given to why the mistake had been made and that they were sending a cleaner to go into my room and pack up my belongings for me (I had not given ANYONE permission to do so) if I’d have known I would have made arrangements myself to go and pack my things up. I had valuable items and also personal items that I wouldn’t have wanted a stranger to be rifling through. After work I went back to the hotel to collect my things, my shoes, wash bag etc had just been dumped open into a black bin liner and my clothes stuffed into my suitcase. I’ve left upset and angry that no care or respect for not only my belongings but my space and privacy has been exhibited. It’s a complete invasion of privacy and lack of care and I’m extremely disappointed with how this situation has been handled. I’ve instructed my agency to never book Leven again and hope that this doesn’t happen to anyone else.

We stayed for two nights and had a lovely time!! The staff are great; friendly and helpful. The room was lovely and for me there are two important things when staying away - a comfortable bed and a nice shower with good water pressure. Leven hit both marks! Also, the toiletries were SO lovely and of a very high quality, I notice these smaller things.There is very good soundproofing in the rooms, which is great given the hotels location, in a vibrant and active area.We had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend to anyone!Constructive feedback would be that it would be great to have salt, pepper, and oil since there are cooking facilities. It would also be lovely to have the same flooring throughout (no carpeting) for those with allergies.
