Holiday Inn MANCHESTER - CITY CENTRE by IHG ★★★★
"The hotel's location is excellent, very close to the train station, and also within walking distance of major attractions and Manchester University. The service is great, and the hotel is clean and hygienic. Highly recommended."
Holiday Inn Express MANCHESTER CITY CENTRE - ARENA by IHG ★★★
"This hotel's staff needs training in hospitality. The managers aren't professional. One of the front desk staff admitted that she didn't receive my suitcase damaged when she took it to store it when I arrived. I complained to Sophie the Guest Servjce Manager, who then asked if I had a photo of before I arrived. I said no , you have security cameras check those. Sophie said she can't access the footage and thst the luggage storage ticket that I received hS a disclaimer that the hotel is not responsible for any damage done to to the luggage while in storage. I immediately asked to speak to her manager, Jade, who was rude and unpleasant who merely echoed what Sophie said. I told both that disclaimer is unfair to us guests and they needed to replace or compensate or offer something to their guest that their employee has damaged their property. On day 3 i spoke to Mr.Afam, another Guest Service Manager where I requested that he get his superior to look at the camera footage and email me a copy. The way that was handled was suspicious since they claimed that the light (in the well light lobby) was poor and quality of the footage they can't tell if there was damage. I didn't receive and photos or video clips to see for myself. In summary, the hotel doesn't take accountability if the staff damages the guests' property. Management is very unscrupulous. In addition the carpet on the first floor immediately in front of the elevator and in the room i atayed, is full of stains, needs replacing. The headboard and sofa in the room needs replacing...its dated and dirty. Also, someone will enter your room, not to clean, while not there despite you may communicate nit to enter. The breakfast is the same everyday and is mediocre in quality. The location was rhe best thing about this hotel. I would recommend that you stay elsewhere."
The Manchester Deansgate Hotel by IHG ★★★★
"I recently stayed at the Hilton Manchester Deansgate, located in the iconic Beetham Tower, and overall, my experience was memorable for many reasons. From the moment you step through the revolving doors of this striking glass skyscraper, you’re met with a sense of modern grandeur that sets the tone for the entire stay. Location & First Impressions The location is absolutely superb — right on Deansgate, within walking distance of the best that Manchester has to offer, including the Arndale shopping centre, the Spinningfields business district, and the bustling nightlife of the Northern Quarter. Public transport connections are excellent, with Deansgate station just steps away. On arrival, the reception area made a strong impression. High ceilings, clean lines, and sophisticated decor give it a contemporary and stylish feel. Check-in was smooth, efficient, and handled with professionalism. Staff were friendly, attentive, and made me feel welcome right away, even though the lobby was quite busy. Rooms & Comfort My room was on one of the higher floors, offering truly stunning views of the Manchester skyline through floor-to-ceiling windows — easily one of the standout features of this hotel. The bed was exceptionally comfortable, with crisp linens and plush pillows that made it hard to get up in the morning. The room was equipped with everything you would expect from a four-star Hilton property: a large TV, iron and ironing board, mini-fridge, safe, and a decent workspace with good lighting for business travelers. The bathroom was clean, modern, and stocked with quality toiletries, although the water pressure in the shower could have been slightly stronger. Overall, the cleanliness was impeccable throughout my stay. Facilities & Amenities The facilities are where the Hilton Manchester Deansgate really shines. The health club and spa are a big bonus, with a good-sized swimming pool and a well-equipped gym. I particularly appreciated the sauna and steam room after a long day exploring the city. The Executive Lounge, available to guests staying on executive floors or with Hilton Honors status, was a peaceful retreat. It offered a good selection of"
Yotel Manchester Deansgate ★★★★
"Was great, perfect location, would recommend. Right in the centre where you want to be."
ibis Manchester Centre Princess Street ★★★
"Near the station, easy to find a shop and cafe. It’s old building but inside still fresh and clean."
Hyatt Regency Manchester ★★★★
"The location is fantastic, very close to the University of Manchester and directly opposite student accommodation, making it incredibly convenient for getting to campus. The environment is lovely, the service was excellent, and the rooms feature large floor-to-ceiling windows. Everything was also spotlessly clean."
Kimpton CLOCKTOWER HOTEL by IHG ★★★★★
"Good location, good comfort and sizes room, clean. Styled and classic lobby."
Travelodge Manchester Ancoats Hotel ★★★
"I visited the hotel last weekend and was very pleased. The room were very clean. I ordered a pizza at the bar, which I really enjoyed. Most importantly, the staff was incredibly nice, Danka, and she was very professional. I will definitely back again"
Roomzzz Manchester Victoria ★★★★
"Clean, nice and close from everything; largest mall, supermarket, shops, coffees and restaurants. Very supportive manager such as Mr. Martim."

TRIBE Manchester Airport
"I frequently visit Manchester Airport, and the front desk staff here are always very friendly. From Terminal 2, you take the elevator to the Departure level and follow the signs. Then, you head to the Station, take another elevator down to the first floor, and cross the road. It's a bit of a walk, but the distance is actually acceptable. The breakfast is decent, and the price is good. If you don't mind walking an extra five minutes, this is a great choice."

A very special mention to Bela, who was incredibly lovely, kind, and attentive throughout our stay. He made sure we had everything we needed and was such a pleasure to speak with. We also want to thank Denim, who made us feel so welcome from the moment we arrived. The team truly went above and beyond for us, and their kindness made our stay extra special.

Malmaison Manchester
"Gorgeous hotel. Amazing breakfast. Spotless room, helpful staff."
Manchester Marriott Hotel Piccadilly
"The hotel was quite noisy, and checking in took an incredibly long time due to the queue. Parking was also a bit of a hassle (all because there were too many people and not enough staff; room service was practically ignored). However, the facilities and cleanliness were fine."
Innside by Meliá Manchester
"We arrived to a friendly front desk and super quick check-in process. Our room was spacious and very comfortable for our 1 night stay, with complimentary drinks in the fridge. Would definitely stay here again!"
Radisson Blu Hotel Manchester Airport
"The hotel is located right inside the terminal building. We spent the day exploring the city, then took a 20-minute train ride from the city at night, arriving directly at the hotel. It was much more convenient than taking a taxi. The hotel staff were warm and attentive, and the room was clean and tidy, with a large bed and a sofa bed, easily accommodating three adults. The soundproofing was excellent, making our morning flight the next day very relaxed. The English breakfast had all the usual offerings, and the hash browns were delicious. The freshly squeezed orange juice was a pleasant surprise, sweet and tangy. Check-out was self-service; we just dropped the key card into a mailbox in the lobby, then headed to T2, which was less than a 5-minute walk away. Extremely convenient."
