I recently stayed at the Britannia Hotel in Manchester and wanted to share my thoughts.
Location:
The location is definitely one of the hotel’s strongest points. It’s super accessible to all forms of transport, whether you’re arriving by train, bus, or tram. It’s right in the city center, so you can easily explore Manchester without much hassle.
Parking:
The parking arrangement is convenient if you’re driving, especially with free parking between 8 pm and 8 am. Outside of those hours, you’ll need to pay, so keep that in mind if you’re staying for longer stretches.
Hotel Condition:
This is where the hotel shows its age. The building is very old, and while it has some charm, it could definitely use an upgrade. You can feel the wear and tear in the common areas and some of the rooms.
Rooms:
The rooms are a mixed bag. The basic rooms are just that—basic. They’re not particularly comfortable, and if you’re picky about where you sleep, you might feel underwhelmed. However, if you go for one of the upgraded rooms, the experience is much better. Those rooms feel cleaner and more inviting.
Breakfast:
Breakfast is a solid deal at just £9. It’s not a luxury spread, but it gets the job done. You’ll find the usual options for a budget-friendly hotel breakfast.
Staff:
The staff are a highlight of the hotel. They’re very kind and helpful, making you feel welcome from check-in to check-out.
Value for Money:
Overall, this is a budget-friendly hotel, so you do get what you pay for. If you’re looking for a no-frills place to stay in a central location and don’t mind the dated vibe, it works. However, if comfort and modern amenities are a priority, you might want to explore other

Hotel as expected. Clean and convenient. Room had everything we needed. We visited the wellness gym but our card didn’t work so not sure if this is an extra? Only downside was breakfast was very busy, had to wait for a table and they had run out of food items. I ordered a poached egg and waited so long I went for my breakfast and finished it before my egg arrived! Good selection of food if everything had been topped up! Not enough staff on though to cater for numbers waiting for breakfast….however this wouldn’t stop me staying again! Overall a pleasant stay :)
Hotel Pool has now beeb decommissioned and no longer operational. Gym was available but not much equipment available. During my stay there was a maintenance malfunction resulting in two whole floors of the building having to endure loud drilling noise throughout the night as no onsite maintenance team to fix. Had to move rooms at 11pm and entire floor one stank of ******** - concierge advised the hotel have this problem frequently but they are unable to police guests who are smoking **** in their rooms. Not the best five days business trip overall although menu was great and staff were very friendly. Daily car parking charge of £5 per night for guests should be abolished in my opinion.
Stayed here with my husband, when we went to see Peter Kay. This is very close to the town for food, drinking or just shopping. There was a car park over the road just £7.00 for 24 hours. The room was clean and a good size, the breakfast was a good selection on the buffet and friendly staff. I will definitely stay again.
Stayed for one night and it was generally okay. Came out of Manchester Piccadilly station and it’s about 20 minutes walk from there. Close to Manchester Victoria station, though.
Definitely not Radisson standard but not too bad. Room had stains on the carpet and the hairdryer bag was covered in hair. The toilet hadn’t been cleaned properly. There was one person on reception at night and was difficult to get through because he was rushed off his feet.
Breakfast was okay but pasties and flavoured yoghurts ran out very quickly and were not topped up.
Wound I stay there again, probably not. Should you stay there? No harm in trying it out for yourself. Like I said, it’s not bad.
We loved our stay at this hotel. It was amazingly clean, and developed to look like new. It made our stay feel extraordinary. The staff and service was great. Full of smiles and always willing to help. Would definitely recommend and stay here again!! Thank you!
Perfect hotel if you will be catching a Man U match cos it only takes 5-15 mins from your gate to the hotel. Plus the hotel has special access to the rooftop bar during match days. It takes 20 mins to the city centre by bus - be sure not to miss it/ check the arrival times as otherwise you will have to wait a long while for it. Otherwise, there isnt anything much around the hotel. The nearby KFC/ Nandos/ Supermarket is a 10 mins way from the Hotel. Hotel is clean and staff are friendly.
We stayed here for a very short time while visiting to watch the Manchester vs Lyon match. Checked in at around 2:20 PM and headed out by 3:30 PM for the game. We returned at 11:55 PM and checked out the next morning at 11:00 AM.
Even though our stay was brief, the hotel left a great impression. The room was very clean, comfortable, and everything was well-organized. The next morning, we really enjoyed the breakfast – a lovely English breakfast with bakery items, butter, jam, fresh fruits, and juice.
If late checkout (even by an hour) had been allowed, it would’ve made the stay even more fantastic. Still, overall a great experience – highly recommended for a quick and pleasant stay!

We had an excellent experience at the Doubletree by Hilton in Manchester Piccadilly …arrived early to drop our bags off and a lovely lady on reception (Camelia) checked us in straight away , she was very pleasant and efficient, restored our faith in customer service . I happened to mention in passing that it was my wife’s birthday and imagine her surprise when we got back to our room and Camelia had sent a birthday card and balloon and other goodies to our room for my wife to enjoy . It was a pleasure to stay at the hotel . Shout out to Joshua on the front desk who also was very pleasant and helpful .

The service is great. We received an upgrade during check-in with breakfast provided, which surprised us. The room is clean and spacious. It would be a lot better if amenities such as toothpaste and toothbrush are provided.
Very Good

NNP/UKStayed here a few times now, quiet hotel but near to all local shops and transport links to Manchester city centre and the airport. Rooms are warm, with a fan in the cupboard if needed, plenty of tea and coffee provided, mini fridge and microwave too 👍 my shower wasn't the best on this stay but not the end of the world tbh.
GGuest UserHotel is excellent room and views are lovely. Location is excellent and majority of staff were nice. Only a few issues they give and charge you for doubles in the bar when the menu only gives single prices. The response from the barmaid was you never specified a single when that should be as standard. Also take 50 pound a night for cover in case you spend in the hotel but only refunded 97.60 for the 2 nights. Although we didn’t spend anything on the room. The hotel is super but just those 2 things took the shine of a really great stay.
JJohn DonagheyRoom was again clean and spotless . Toilet very clean and hot water . Beds were spotless and comfy . WiFi and tv . Also local amenities in walking distance for eating and shopping . Motorway connection at hotel . For the price I give it 5 stars
HHumble Bumble Queen BeeAs I had a 6am flight, I chose to stay the night at TRIBE due to its convenient walking distance to the airport. I also selected it over other nearby options because it's a relatively new hotel, and I was happy to pay a bit more for cleanliness and comfort.
The hotel does look stylish from the outside, and the public spaces are well-designed. However, the room itself was a disappointment. Cleanliness was not up to standards, which was a major letdown. When I pulled back the duvet, I found dirt marks and hair inside the covers. It made me extremely uncomfortable, and I ended up not sleeping under the covers at all because it just didn’t feel clean.
Additionally, they used off-brand coffee capsules instead of proper Nespresso ones, which felt like a small but noticeable cost-cutting move for a hotel in this price range.
Overall, the location is convenient and the design is nice, but the lack of attention to basic cleanliness really undermined the experience.
OOliver WilliamThe hotel is in a great location, very close to both the train station and Terminal 2 (though some of the roadworks around the area are a little confusing this isn't the hotel's fault). It has a bar and small restaurant with a pool table downstairs, along with some vending machines. The restaurant does things like pizza, burgers, simple pastas etc.; I got in the lift with someone taking some pizza back to their room and it smelt amazing so I had to get one! A little bit pricey, but that's kind of expected for airport hotel food, though it was worth it as the pizza was freshly made. Very convenient being able to take it up to my room and chill out. The room itself was more than adequate, clean and had everything you need. I'm not really sure what more they could do to improve things at the kind of prices you pay for hotels like this. In fact in some ways it was better than more expensive hotels in the area simply because I liked having the vending machines on site to buy a drink or little snack late at night where other hotels have long shut up everything and there's no one about and nothing to buy. It was over £20 a night cheaper than other hotels in the area at the time I booked it so again, I really don't know what else you can ask for. I did try to book a stay on my return but prices had gone up and it was the same price to stay at one of the nicer hotels nearby; if that's the case then by all means go for the nicer hotel but if you're early enough to take advantage of the cheaper prices this place offers it's definitely worth it. Negative reviews seem to focus on there being no hairdryer (who cares, bring your own) or Chinese people complaining about there being no bottled water or slippers something; I'd rather save £20 on the room than some pointless gesture like free bottled water and slippers. Someone mentioned they couldn't check in until 3pm... isn't that the normal check in time for hotels? What are these people smoking, honestly.

GGuest UserMy man told me the doors locked yet there wasn’t any batteries to make functional, he also said I looked like a stoner n can happily smoke ****, so I took upon his request and enjoyed my stay to the fullest, was beneficial of the pricing range as the cost was no more then a 3.5 per bedroom
As for the the essential part of the trip, my associate commandeered a new sleeping partner,
So many thanks to the OUO house members for letting us stay in Middleton 😘
Ttraveller2002Absolutely loved our stay at The Midland Manchester – everything about this hotel exceeded our expectations! From the moment we arrived, the staff were warm, welcoming, and couldn’t do enough for us. Every member of the team made us feel genuinely looked after, and the service throughout was faultless.
The room was spotlessly clean, beautifully maintained, and incredibly comfortable. The bed was like sleeping on a cloud – we had some of the best nights’ sleep we’ve had in ages! The room service was prompt, professional, and the food was delicious – a real treat after a long day exploring the city.
Speaking of relaxing – the spa was absolutely divine. Clean, calming, and wonderfully designed, it was the perfect escape. The massage was one of the best I’ve ever had – incredibly soothing and tailored to perfection. If you’re in need of some proper pampering, this is the place to be.
Location-wise, you couldn’t ask for better. Right in the heart of Manchester, everything is within walking distance, yet the hotel still manages to feel like a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle.
All in all, The Midland is a true gem. Comfortable, elegant, and run by an outstanding team. We’ll absolutely be back!
GGuest UserNice low budget hotel , easy to get to via local tram train and bus services . The only downside was the bed was really hard making it difficult for me to sleep but u get what u pay for I guess .
Ccindy0072I discovered this hidden gem by accident. I had almost given up on finding a hotel that was close enough to the airport as well as to local shopping and had ac. There are only two things I have a problem with in regards to this place. Please note there is not an elevator or lift as the UK states. The other draw back is there is no way to shield the light in the bathroom area. It is hard to describe. There is a beautiful glass door to the right and left in the bath area with a sink in the middle of the space. If one has to get up to use the facilities the light being turned on glares in the face of the other one in bed. One other note is to be careful when closing the glass door. When I closed the door, my finger got closed in the door and it actually cut my finger below the cuticle. After 3 days, my finger is blue and sore.
While the hotel is directly under the local airport's flight pattern, we never heard planes unless we were outside.
The grounds are astounding as is the building itself. Make sure to check out the artwork throughout the place. If you like hidden staircases, watch out.
The place appears to be kid friendly. There is a fabulous playground adjacent to the property. Make sure to purchase duck food for the locals.
The bar, while somewhat limited in its offerings, was suitable for us. As to cost, the prices were comparable if not better than other bars/pubs we have visited..
We did not dine in the restaurant, but from what I say, the food looked amazing. The young man working reception was so very nice to help with our luggage as well as anything else we may have needed. The young ladies working in the bar were also very nice. In fact, they were so embarrassed by my asking to take their photo. They said no one had ever asked to take their photo.
