Staying at the Holiday Inn Manchester - City Centre was a fantastic experience overall. The hotel's location is unbeatable—right next to the train station, making it super convenient for exploring Manchester on foot or by public transit. While it’s considered a four-star property in the UK, I’d say it matches the quality of a mid-range budget hotel back home, which is actually quite impressive here. The breakfast spread was generous and varied, offering both local favorites and classic Western options—perfect for starting the day right. One minor downside was the room being close to the street, with trams passing by occasionally, so there was some noise. However, since we only stayed one night and had already done a long city walk, it didn’t bother me much. Best part? We asked for a late check-out until 1 PM, and they happily accommodated us—much more relaxed than most UK hotels that require checkout by 11 AM. With breakfast included and the price under £80 per night, this was definitely a great value for money. Highly recommend this hotel for travelers looking for comfort, convenience, and excellent service.
Arriving in Manchester on a freezing cold day with snow falling all around, we were pleasantly surprised by how close the hotel was to Chinatown—just a short walk away. We managed to grab lunch and dinner right nearby, which was perfect for staying warm during the chilly weather. The hotel itself offered a cozy and welcoming atmosphere from the moment we stepped inside. Staff were friendly and efficient, making check-in smooth. Our room was clean, well-heated, and very comfortable, turning what could’ve been a stressful arrival into a relaxing experience. Even with the winter storm outside, the hotel felt like a safe, warm haven. Location, comfort, and convenience all score high—definitely a great choice if you’re exploring Manchester’s city center without wanting to travel far.
I've stayed in many places across Manchester over the past 15 years, and this one truly stands out as the best by far. I genuinely wish I'd discovered it sooner! The value for money is exceptional—every aspect of the stay exceeded my expectations. Located right in the heart of the city, it's surrounded by fantastic amenities, from lively bars to great restaurants, all within walking distance. Public transport links are excellent too—Manchester Victoria and Piccadilly stations are just a short walk away, making day trips to places like Trafford Centre or exploring other parts of the North West incredibly easy. The apartment itself was spacious and thoughtfully designed, with a super comfortable bed that made for a restful night’s sleep. The room was completely quiet, which was perfect after a long day. The bathroom and kitchen were both top-notch—plenty of utensils and appliances, so cooking during my stay was a breeze. Even better, the staff were warm, welcoming, and created a friendly, almost family-like atmosphere that made the whole experience feel special. Highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Manchester.
Staying at Church Street by Supercity Aparthotels was a fantastic experience. The apartment was well-equipped and incredibly comfortable, with a cozy bed that made for a restful night's sleep. The only minor hiccup was with the patio doors leading to the balcony—they were a bit tricky to open, but we figured it out after a few tries. Overall, this place exceeded our expectations. Great location, modern amenities, and excellent value. I’d definitely book here again without hesitation.
Staying at Hyatt House Manchester was an absolutely fantastic experience. Located just steps away from the University of Manchester, it's perfect for both business and leisure travelers—especially if you're here to catch a Premier League match like we were. The room was spacious by UK standards, and when we booked two rooms, we were upgraded to a suite at no extra cost—such a pleasant surprise! The staff went above and beyond, particularly one Asian manager at the front desk who helped arrange transportation with genuine care and attention. The hotel is clean, modern, and well-maintained throughout. It’s clear they value guest satisfaction. I’ve already planned my next trip back—this place truly stands out, and I’d recommend it without hesitation.
Staying at Ville Hotel for the second time was just as enjoyable as the first. This time I booked a ground-floor room with a window, and it was noticeably more comfortable than my previous stay—better lighting, more space, and a nice sense of openness. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, even offering to store my luggage, which made checking in and out so much easier. One of the best things about this hotel is its location—just a short walk from the riverfront. Taking a peaceful stroll along the riverside in the evening is pure bliss, with a calm atmosphere and great views. It’s a perfect spot to unwind after a busy day exploring Manchester. The overall experience was excellent, and I’d definitely come back. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a cozy, well-located stay with genuine hospitality.
Staying at Castlefield Hotel was a fantastic experience. The location is perfect—just a short walk from Deansgate and Oxford Road stations, making it super easy to get around Manchester by train. I was especially impressed with the value for money; the room was clean, well-appointed, and offered great comfort without breaking the bank. The staff at reception were warm and welcoming, always ready to help. One of my favorite things was the outdoor balcony just beside the front desk, overlooking the canal—it’s such a peaceful spot to enjoy a drink from the bar in the evening. Manchester’s city center is easily accessible on foot, so you can explore all the highlights without needing transport. Whether you're here for business or leisure, this hotel truly delivers.
Had an excellent stay here last weekend! I understand some guests mention noise, but let’s be honest—this property is on Canal Street, so there’s naturally some city buzz. However, I was in bed by 1 a.m. and slept through the whole night without any disturbance. The location is unbeatable—right in the heart of Manchester, steps away from restaurants, shops, and public transit. The staff went above and beyond with their warm hospitality, making the entire experience feel welcoming and personal. Clean, comfortable rooms and a great vibe overall. Definitely a top pick if you're visiting Manchester—would stay again in a heartbeat!
I always choose this hotel whenever I visit Manchester, and it never disappoints. It's perfectly located right across from Chinatown, with bars just a quick crosswalk away. Walking to shopping centres, pharmacies, and beauty stores takes less than 10 minutes—so convenient. This time around, I stayed in the room type I love most, and it easily surpassed all previous options I’ve tried. The space is incredibly generous, offering more comfort and openness than any other layout I’ve experienced here. Excellent value, great service, and a fantastic location—this is my top pick for Manchester.
I absolutely love the Leonardo Hotel Manchester Central – it’s already my second visit this year, and I’m even more impressed than last time. The hotel feels brand new, with super comfy bedding that made for a restful night’s sleep. The front desk staff were friendly, efficient, and made check-in and check-out a breeze. I stayed in two different room types: once in a king room with a freestanding bathtub, where soaking in the tub while gazing at the cool dark blue mosaic wall was an unexpected highlight; the other time in a twin room with a well-designed shower-only bathroom – clean, spacious, and practical. The interior art is modern impressionist style, adding a stylish touch throughout the space, and the large TV screen really elevates the room – a small screen would’ve ruined the vibe. Best of all? Just turn left out the front door and you’re at the light rail station – super convenient for getting around. Yet, it’s also just a short walk to the lively city centre, perfect for those who want to explore Manchester on foot. I’ve heard there’s another Leonardo near Piccadilly Station, so I’ll definitely check it out next time, but this central location hits the sweet spot – relaxed, well-connected, and effortlessly chill. A great choice for travellers who want comfort without the hassle.
We booked this stay as a surprise birthday treat for my partner and two friends, and it turned out to be an unforgettable experience. The room was absolutely stunning—spacious, well-designed, and full of charm. From the moment we arrived, the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making us feel right at home. To celebrate her special day, the hotel surprised her with a bottle of sparkling wine, which was such a thoughtful and heartfelt touch. Breakfast was delicious and beautifully presented, with excellent service throughout. My partner mentioned the beans were quite spicy, so that might be something to note if you're sensitive to heat. Despite that small detail, every other aspect was perfect. The location is convenient, the atmosphere is warm, and the attention to detail truly sets this hotel apart. We’ll definitely be back on our next trip to Manchester!
I stayed at Queens Guesthouse Manchester and had a really positive experience overall. The staff were friendly and helpful, always ready to assist with any questions or concerns—great hospitality! What stood out most was the affordable pricing; it’s an excellent value for money option, especially if you're looking for a comfortable stay without breaking the bank. The location is super convenient—just a short walk from the metro station, making it easy to explore the city center, shops, and restaurants. My room was clean, well-maintained, and cozy, with a comfortable bed that made for a restful night’s sleep. While the amenities aren’t fancy, everything you need is there—perfect for a stress-free, budget-friendly trip. I’d definitely recommend this place to travelers who want a reliable, no-frills stay in Manchester.
