Great place to stay, mainly for longer stays but Manu kindly let us stay for one night. It is very clean and well kept upstairs even though it looks a little rough when you first walk in. Great price for four people and Manu was a very helpful and reliable host.

A Lil extra info! This evening is now my second night of four nights for my first stay ever. And out of all the hotels, Bed 'n' breakfasts, shared apartments, house I have stayed at. Manus Place has become the best!! Simply because it's easy to forget you are. It feels more like a home. For the first time ever I have felt totally relaxed and comfortable. My partner has ran the largest Holiday Inn in the country and Premier Inns. I never felt comfortable and hardly ever slept. If it was to be choice between the above two and Manu's, it would be Manu's. Manu and Co well done!!

Great place to stay at for longer periods of time. The owner is attentive and very receptive to feedback. The rooms are clean, bathrooms are clean, kitchens are clean and well-furnished and basically everything works. After a while it starts to feel like a home and the people there are usually great and worth the meet. Many friends to be made in here.

Great place to stay near the city centre. They offer everything you would expect in a shared apartment at an affordable price. Besides the hospitality of Manu, the owner, is second to none. I strongly recommend it.

A great place if your a down to earth kind of person. Way better than bed and breakfast or hotelsomething as it's more like just renting a shared house or a flat. You can relax more and do all your normal homely things like cook for yourself do you washing and drying clothes that is and wot ever else. A home from home. Management, staff and guest are all friendly. A full kitchen utensils cupboard space, fridge and freezer space to get some shopping in and store as you would at home. I recommend it to any one who gets home sick as Manus Place eases the pain.
