Hotels in Manchester

"Hotel is very convenient for the universities and the convention centre, less so for the northern quarter and commercial centre. Breakfast was fair and the service warm. The hotel itself is tired with one of two lifts out of service. The mattress is less comfortable than Premier Inn , rating it very average."

"Britannia Hotel Manchester has an undeniably grand, old-world charm—but it shows its age in ways both atmospheric and inconvenient. The lobby’s sweeping staircase and chandeliers hint at past glory, and the central location is excellent for shopping, trains, and nightlife. However, that vintage character often slips into dated and tired. Rooms vary widely: some are spacious, others cramped; décor can feel worn, with scuffed furnishings and thin walls. Cleanliness is generally acceptable but inconsistent. Bathrooms work, though water pressure and temperature can fluctuate. Service is hit-or-miss—some staff are friendly and efficient, others seem overwhelmed during busy periods. Noise from corridors and nearby bars can be an issue, so light sleepers should request interior rooms or bring earplugs. For the price, it’s a functional base in the city center with nostalgic charm, provided your expectations are modest and you value location over modern comforts. Potential, but in need of refresh."

"I travelled for business as I had a project in the city. Upon arrival the lady on the desk was rude to me and continued this throughout my stay. There was a hair in the bathroom and the desk woman treated me like a criminal, lots of tutting and dirty looks. Would not recommend this place if she was ever working again. Spoiled my trip and I have booked my 3rd night elsewhere."

"The hotel location is around 15 minutes walk from Manchester Piccadilly station. Also, a 15 minutes walk to centre. If you are a really city person, this might not be the best option. Having/ providing a hair dryer in the room is a very plus point for me!!!!! The room is clean and big. Btw, not all staff are friendly, the staff who assist me with check-in, didn’t show any smily face at all, was kind of bad experience, also that day due to severe weather in UK and when I reached the hotel, I am whole body wet, the staff not even care about. 🙃 (The minus point for me)"

"I really enjoyed my stay at the Ibis budget, Pollard Street. Right from checking in, the staff were very polite, helpful and warm. The ladies at the desk were very welcoming. The room clean and comfortable. Breakfast was top notch. It was easy to get into the city as the bus stop is just a de seconds from the hotel. The metro link stop is only a couple of minutes walk from the hotel, Thank you, I will definitely recommend to others and I will visit again."

"I arrived late at night and was delighted to find the reception still open, with staff greeting me warmly. For the price, the room was very spacious, complete with a desk, sofa, and large bed. The pillow was soft and comfortable, making for a restful stay. What stood out the most was the quality of the toiletries. They use a well-known brand for hand wash, body wash, and shampoo, which felt gentle on the skin and hair, unlike the low-quality products often found in other hotels. The breakfast buffet was adequate, though as a Muslim I couldn’t eat some of the options. However, when I asked, the catering team kindly prepared a vegan sausage for me, which I really appreciated. The hotel is about a 15-minute walk from Manchester Piccadilly. At night, dragging my luggage, it felt longer, but in the morning it was just a brisk, pleasant walk."

"I went with my daughter, it was her very first time staying in Manchester, We enjoyed stay at the hotel. The staff were very friendly. The breakfast was good and something for everyone. The only thing I would say is that we both didn't get any sleep, not because of any noise from outside, it was actually from the toilet. Each time someone was using the bathroom from a near by room, our toilet would also make noise, that was a pain, but there was no point complaining about that as it qas really late when we came back to the hotel to sleep. And we only stayed one night. But I really would have liked to feel abit more fresh in the morning. I'm not sure if this is an issue with other rooms, but it caused us both not to sleep well. But apart from that, I cant complain. Shower was good and with good pressure. It was very clean. Location was excellent. I would like to try it again, but I would like to ask for a room without the noisy toilet :). Also if you look at the picture. There is cheap all day parking for £6."

"This is a clean and centrally located hotel. Perfect for visiting Manchester City Center and surrounding areas Service is top notch with restaurants, shopping in close proximity. Quite affordable and easy to reach by a short walk from the main train station. Great choice for any traveller."

"This is an amazing hotel great location right in the centre near the shops a short walk from couple of train stations. Very friendly and polite staff nothing was too much trouble we were able to drop our bags early doors so we weren’t carrying them round and they were in the room when we checked in. Checking in and out was easy no problems fab bar area we booked our table for teatime just incase it got busy as we had a voucher towards evening meal which was lovely! Room was a good size clean and modern with little touches bed and pillows amazing! Overall a fantastic experience would definitely recommend to anybody and would return myself. A huge thank you to the staff especially the young gentleman (sorry didn’t get his name) who looked after us from dropping bags off to checking in to helping with purchases and leaving he was a credit to the Brewdog Hotel very friendly made the time, amenable nothing was too much trouble for him went above and beyond to make our stay a great one!"

"Stayed here with my daughter for the Olivia Rodrigo concert. Usually stay in a Premier Inn but this was so much better. Only downside was a squeaky sliding door on the bathroom and someone running in the corridor at 2am. Overall, a lovely quirky hotel and would stay again 😀"
