This is the inside of a city centre hotel where rooms start at just £30 a night.
Guests can stay for a bargain price at The Gardens, located in the heart of Manchester's "golden mile".
This hotel is easy to miss as its inconspicuous doorway is sandwiched between an hodge-podge of shops on one of Manchester’s busiest pedestrian thoroughfares.
The price of rooms starts at £30 but that is for the hotel's lowest-grade option - the windowless room.
Manchester Evening News reporter Diane Bourne spent £67.50 to stay in an executive double room with a window for a night.
She says she was pleasantly surprised at how nice her room was.
She wrote: "Clearly very recently refurbished, it’s clean, bright and super stylish for a hotel very squarely positioned at the budget end of the market.
"The bathroom looked like it had only just been fitted, so spotless was every tile and crevice, with a pile of soft fluffy towels at my disposal."
She added: "And then, lo, inside the sleek black wardrobe was a plastic bag containing that most extra of hotel extras - a super-soft bathrobe and slippers to wear during your stay.
"My jaw was dropping to the floor at this point - I have to tell you - at the price I'd paid for such luxury."
The Gardens hotel is formed inside two merged textile warehouse buildings, the oldest dating back to 1868, and it would later become the offices for the Manchester Corporation Tramways Department.
The upper floors of the building were turned into a hotel in the late 19th century, while the ground level of the building became assorted shops.
Old tiling can be seen on a second staircase and an old-fashioned metal lift is still in the older half of the hotel building.
Diane says she could hear the low hum of traffic when she walked into her room and thinks because the building is Grade II-listed that the single-pane windows at the front cannot be changed.
She also says there is a Wetherspoons next door. She said she was only able to sleep for half an hour before police sirens woke her up around 11.30pm.
The next morning, she decided to try the breakfast for an additional £7.50.
Diane said: "This also turned out to be a right old bargain.
"The full continental buffet included a little oven with baking pastries and pain au chocolat inside, there was fresh fruit and yoghurts and a coffee machine that spouted out a really delightful cappuccino, while a friendly waiter took my order for a fresh cooked breakfast."
The Gardens hotel has a 3.5-star rating out of five on Trip Advisor with many commenting on its great location and prices.
