Family-friendly Hotels in Manchester

What a fantastic wee hotel the Brooklyn is! We stayed here on the night of the 19th of June for one night before heading off abroad the next day. Great location and a very quirky little hotel far exceeding expectations and better than some of these corporate giants, loved it! Staff were all exceptional to us, friendly and professional always. Bar staff on that evening get a special mention as they were brilliant. Cocktails were out of this world, as stated by Cocktail Queen herself who I was travelling with. Loved the terrace style seating near the bar, never seen that before! Rooms were awesome, bathroom fantastic and I did have a good chuckle at the fact that you could see into the bathroom from the bedroom through a one-way glass panel, hilarious! Everything smelt so wonderfully clean in the building too and I could not fault this place at all! A wonderful stay and a big thanks to all the staff that were on that evening and the next day, you should all be exceptionally proud of yourselves!

Location, location and location! The location of the hotel is excellent – just a 30-second walk from Piccadilly Gardens, which is an easy walking distance from Piccadilly Station as well as Victori Station. The hotel is situated just in the CENTRE of the centre of Manchester. The interior of the hotel’s public areas is also very gorgeous, and a twin room I stayed was spacious and comfortable. However, the building itself seems quite old and the windows are not double-glazed. Therefore, I tend to think that it would be rather cold in the room in winter. It would be ideal if the breakfast started at 7:00am, instead of 7:30am on weekdays. I actually had to give up full English breakfast, unfortunately, because I had to catch a train just after 8:00am. For guests who stay in the hotel on a business trip, having breakfast at 7:00am would be nice, as it gives them plenty of time in the morning before going to work.

The hotel/bar & restaurant (Ibis & Jamboree) are my weekly watering hole! Lovely staff, lovely drinks and a fantastic atmosphere! If you’re staying in Manchester, make sure you get yourself here and ask for Preston, he’ll sort you out!

The lifestyle was super Location: 5/5 The location is fantastic, situated right in the heart of downtown. It’s within walking distance to major attractions, restaurants, and shopping centers. Public transportation is also easily accessible, making it convenient to explore the city. Cleanliness: 4/5 The hotel maintains a high standard of cleanliness. The lobby, common areas, and my room were spotless. Housekeeping was prompt and thorough, ensuring that everything was in order each day. Service: 4/5 The staff at Grandview Hotel were friendly and professional. Check-in and check-out processes were smooth and efficient. The concierge was particularly helpful in providing recommendations and assisting with reservations. Amenities: 4/5 The hotel offers a range of amenities, including a well-equipped fitness center, a relaxing spa, and a rooftop pool with stunning city views. The on-site restaurant serves a delicious breakfast buffet with a variety of options. However, room service was a bit slow during peak hours. Room: 3.5/5 The room was comfortable and well-appointed, with modern furnishings and a cozy bed. The bathroom was spacious and stocked with high-quality toiletries. However, the soundproofing could be improved, as I could occasionally hear noise from the hallway and neighboring rooms. Value for Money: 4/5 Considering its prime location and the quality of services and amenities, the Grandview Hotel offers good value for money. While it may be on the pricier side, the overall experience justifies the cost.

We spent our best long weekend in this charming apartment with views over Manchester, we had booked this apartment on Black Friday (€550 for 4 nights instead of 900) and the price quality ratio was really good, I have absolutely nothing to reiterate, the staff of the hotel was really warm and warm even speaking French, the breakfast was complete there was a choice, we were gently offered a meal on the Brexit day that was very good. The apartment was very large 50m2 with a beautiful view well sound-free because there are works absolutely everywhere was clean and well equipped we were in our little cocon we spent wonderful days where we wake up in this The hotel was very comfortable and very comfortable.

We only stayed for one night me and my partner, we arrived late and wanted to go out to eat. Great location, walking distance for everything you need from bars to restaurants from Brazilian to Thai food or British pub food. We pushed our luck being late and the man on reception was brilliant and his service was fantastic and recommended some lovely places. After a long day our room had everything we needed, walk in shower, robes, super king bed and room service. We skipped breakfast and booked the pool for 9am which is included and was just perfect, the reason for our stay was to do the tour of old Trafford and the hotel certainly made our trip more worth while.

The hotel has its strong and weak points. The cost is cheap for Manchester and based on its location. You can arguably walk to Deansgate (drive was 5 minutes). There is a large Sainsburys , gym and retail park next door: plus a KFC and macdonalds across the road. The rooms are in desperate need of refurb. Whilst the bedding was nice and clean the rest feels old, dated and in need of a refresh. The walls feel thin and you can hear conversations in other rooms and outside on the corridors. The windows are worse in that road traffic and other noise can be heard. The hotel is built like an annex where reception and restaurant area sits on its own but the rooms are part of the larger building opposite. It is relatively secure though being split probably doesn’t help as anyone can let anyone in. The staff are great and very helpful. The car park availability was terrible. Either it is too small for the hotel or the nearby residents are using it: I think the latter as there was dozens of cars parked in the retail park adjacent to the hotel as well (where I had to park).
