Hotels Near Lakeside Adventure, Playground in Manchester

I spent 21 days at this Hilton whilst awaiting my apartment to be ready. The incredibly hospitable staff made the stay a 4/5. Mo the general manager is a top class human as well as a collaborative, uplifting manager. The hotel ac was constantly disrupted, likely due to the unprecedented level of climate change weather, this year. The front desk staff were ready and willing to help with anything I needed. They are mostly 20 somethings that by nature enjoy genuinely helping people. Taren ”consummate professional”, Pier ” my fav Italian”, Igor ”the hustler”, Abbie ”comforting smile”, Demi ”sweetest person”, Winnie ”wish I could adopt her”, Faz ”the kindest human ever”, Lianna ”gets it done - even without a business center”, Serena ”kind and quick”, Jordan ”kind smile” and Patrick ”the mix master”, I would ike to publically thank each of these people for: providing fans in a pinch, providing business center services with0ut a business center, helping with a hot coffee (my fault) incident, suggestions for delicious BRITISH FOOD (?!@$!?), ideas on how to expedite my Manc assimilation. The maid staff were happy to provide extra towels and coffee creamers... they respected privacy and would leave supplies outside of our door unsolicited when we hung our do not disturb sign out... the list goes on and on. This is a wonderful Hampton that should be a model for all of the rest. I've been to a lot of them! I am forever grateful to the kind people here. They would have received 5 stars if the ac worked and the breakfast was changed up a bit. But @HiltonHotels needs to give everyone here a raise.

The check in process was strange and confusing but once in the room was nice and we were able to relax on the comfortable bed. 4 pillows provided without having to ask was nice. The decor was also lovely and we had pretty much everything we needed. The road is noisy however so we had to listen to a lot of traffic, not to mention the inconsiderate guests in the room next door playing music and chatting at 5am, not the hotel's fault I suppose. It was extremely difficult to regulate the water temperature in the shower. The little milk cups were 5 months past the use by date so sadly we couldn't have a cuppa. Glad I noticed this!! It took 45 minutes to walk from the train station so not the best location for the city centre but we knew this before booking to be fair. There's a Lidl, McDonalds, ASDA and Tim Hortons nearby and a couple of nice parks. Overall I'd probably stay again if convenient to do so and hope for less selfish neighbours.

The location is good, but not user friendly for luggage, i need to take 2 of my luggages (30kg) alone upstarts to the lift to my room. That’s killing me, I dun expect that hard for me, it’s not worth to pay that price. I found we have other better choice among that area.

My husband and I came to the hotel on Friday 7/10/2022 room 1216 I honestly couldn't say anything negative about this hotel . The moment we walked in Georgia and neelam on reception greeted us warmly and explained everything. Once we settled in we came back to the bar to enjoy the amazing range of cocktails made by Gabriel :) the bar staff were all amazing from the manager phoebe to Pablo and andree they couldn't do more to make you feel welcome . Our room did have a view of the construction but we expected that as we are in the middle of Manchester and it was not a problem at all . The breakfast was beautiful unfortunately I didn't get the gentleman's name who was clearing the tables but he was so nice lastly I would like to give mo from housekeeping a massive shout out our room was spotless and he even gave me a kit kat 😀 what stands out about this hotel is the staff and I mean all the staff shine they all greet you with smiles and I know how hard that can be for a full shift 😀 can't wait to come back thank you

Kind staff, great entertainment in the bar with a lovely beer garden.

Hotel is in a good location and is very clean. We stayed before and enjoyed our stay last time so we thought we’d book again for one night but it wasn’t as good. We booked a double room and got two singles pushed together, we kept falling down the middle so didn’t get a good nights sleep. Spoke to the receptionist in the morning and she apologised but we thought it wasn’t worth going down in the middle of the night just for one night but we shouldn’t of had to anyway. When we arrived the people on reception just ignored us and someone had to come out from the back to serve us. I’ll probably look somewhere else next time.

I just HAD to write a review on my stay here. Well... this was my 3rd hotel in 4 nights of travelling. It was also the cheapest one, and the only one I was kind of dreading! Oh how wrong could I have been! From the moment I entered, the receptionist was so friendly and helpful. Welcoming, kind and professional. I asked if there was any fridge I could use to store some food items I was travelling with and they kindly put these in the staff area for me overnight. Could not do enough to help. The hotel feels more like a modern new hostel than a hotel. The vibe in the communal area felt very much like a classy hostel. It was warm, friendly and welcoming. Free unlimited tea and coffee down there was great. Breakfast was only continental, which I hadn't realised. Lovely pastries, but a shame no hot food was served. Rooms are very small, as I had expected, but functional, Plenty of charging sockets, good hot shower with amenities. As I arrived into the station at terminal 1, and was flying from terminal 1 the next day it is quite a walk with heavy bags. There is no shuttle bus or alternative way to get to terminal 1 from here, only the skylink. This would have been fine, but the moving escalators on the skylink were switched off. When I asked the hotel staff about this, they said they have not been working for months. I don't know why this is, but it would have made moving to/from the hotel a lot easier so it was a shame. Overall a very good and unexpected stay. For the price, I would stay again. Thanks to all the staff for such a pleasant welcome.

We booked here for one night. This hotel is literally a 2 minute walk from Manchester Oxford Road train station. Check in was straight forward and fast, getting to your room even quicker. Lifts are near reception so no lugging suitcases etc. Staff were friendly, there’s a bowl of your favourite chocolates on reception, my daughter was allowed to help herself to whatever she liked…that was a nice touch. We booked a room for 4 people, now the room was fairly small, but this is a city centre hotel at a great price. Bathroom was the right size. There is a thermostat near the door, we felt the heating could have been placed in a better location as it took a while to heat the room, the blower was right near the door, so heated that area quickly, but not the rest of the room. Overall the hotel was clean, staff were all friendly and happy to talk if you were…we liked that too. This hotel is used by all type of customers, families, business people, singles and couples. The location is great, you are a 15 minute walk away from the main town centre…with the Arndale Centre. In fairness I think why would you need to walk that far as there’s loads of eateries and shops all around this hotel, enough to keep the day traveller happy. The pictures don’t fully do it justice as we had stayed in the room at the time of me taking them. I loved the view! I would stay here again, the price which is important was the best feature, cheapest hotel by a mile.

We loved this hotel. I stayed with my daughter while visiting the university. It’s beautifully done, from the reception, bars and rooms. The staff were great too. A lovely welcome at reception, super waiting staff and especially the valet parking guys who were efficient and really charming. We will definitely stay again and I’m also looking forward to visiting some of their other establishments.
