The 37 km (23 mi)-network consists of three lines with 37 stations (including five on-street tram stops in the centre).

Newest comments first
Positive: EXCELLENT DOWNTOWN LOCATION
Positive: Quiet room even though the hotel is in a busy area, very convenient for the city and just across the road from Manchester Art Museum. Breakfast is served in a nice restaurant, and until relatively late in the morning.
Negative: Uncomortable bed (small, soft double bed), room was hot and stuffy even with the temperature control system, bathroom looked half-finished (exposed pipes and wires). Staff were friendly but I had to queue to both check in and check out as there seems to be a lack of both space and staff in the lobby area to cope during busy periods.
