Hotels Near Manchester Central Convention Complex in Manchester

Honestly one of the most beautiful hotels I have stayed in! We loved our stay her and only wished we had more time to enjoy the hotel. The room was clean and nicely decorated. We will absolutely return to this hotel in the future.

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.

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.

We have always preferred to stay in a aparthotel especially when travelling around Europe, but up to recently its not been so easy to find them to such a good standard in the UK. The facilities at Cove are excellent and the room was spotless - I assume its recently been renovated as everything looks new. We were only staying for one night for a concert in the city so didn't use all the facilities but there was a fully kitted out kitchen with fridge with small freezer section, hob, oven, microwave, small dishwasher and kettle and I was pleased to see clean cloths and washing liquid so we were able to easily clean the few items we used without having to use the d/w. There was even a washing machine ! For anyone wanting to stay a few nights this would be ideal as everything you could need is there. The bathroom was spacious and had a bath and shower over and a huge mirror with plenty of place to put toiletries. The separate bedroom was really comfortable and had its own TV. I was really pleased to see a room fan in there also - as the tram tracks are jsut across the road so by running this during the night it blocked out any traffic noise which otherwise could have been heard. The room was pretty warm so its probably necessary and because of this we had a really nice uninterrupted sleep - which is not so easy to find in a city centre. The lounge and dining area again very well laid out and would still have been comfortable for 4 people even if the sofa bed was being used. The reception staff were all so friendly and helpful - I asked if they would mind filling the ice cube tray so we had ice for when we returned (we arrived much earlier than check in time so left our case and went for lunch) and this was waiting for us when we returned. This is what makes the difference - and is why we will always stay here now next time we have an event to go to. We went by train which is why I wanted somewhere near the station - but the hotel does have its own underground parking spaces which need to be booked and there is also a large open carpark right opposite the hotel which always seemed to have spaces available at £15 for 24 hours which for the city centre is excellent - so will probably drive next time. And a really nice touch is having a drinks machine in reception where you can either bring your own mugs from the room and make a hot drink - or use the disposable cups and take a drink out with you - which we really appreciated having. Suited our needs perfectly and Im already booking a return trip in a few months time.

Lovely place the hotel was very clean. Breakfast was excellent. I will definitely come back again I’m so looking forward to it the room so spacious and the hotel they are so welcoming. Good vibe.

I checked in in the middle of the night, and the front desk checked me in very politely and upgraded me to a suite on the highest floor. Facilities: The kitchen is fully equipped with kitchenware, slippers are provided in the room, and charging plugs can be borrowed from the front desk. Environment: The environment is very good. Check-in is on the first floor and breakfast is opposite. The hotel is located on the University of Manchester campus, which is very convenient. Service: The hotel delivered things in a timely manner and the concierge attitude was also very good. All in all, it is the most cost-effective hotel I have ever stayed in in the UK, and I am very satisfied with it in every aspect.

The time period I was staying at this hotel they had swimming championships. Which around 6 to 10 countries were also staying at the same hotel. Upon arrival they told me breakfast would end at 10:30am. Went to have breakfast at 9:30am and saw all the breakfast had been changed ( I have stayed at this hotel 3 different times so I knew what the breakfast would consist of ) they had made it all specific to the athletes, All healthy options. They said if you want anything we can bring it to you. Which I said great no a problem. So ordered the full British breakfast which is tasty as always. But by the time they brought it out it was around 10:00am ( once again not a problem ). But they started to pack away the food at 10:00am. Not the 10:30am they said it would end. This buffet breakfast. So you would like to order a couple of times but how can you when they clear all the food at 10:00am and it takes you 30 minutes to bring out the food you ordered. They would clear it up early so they could getting cooking again for the athletes lunch which was at 12 till 3. It would be great if the hotel would consider other guests staying there. Very disappointed. But room was clean and modern as always.

We stayed at the Holiday Inn for one night to go to a show at the nearby arena and couldn’t fault it for our needs. There is no parking on site but reasonably priced parking a 2 minute walk away, plus the hotel is less than a 10 minute walk to the arena and close to all the shops and bars of the northern quarter. All the staff we encountered were friendly and helpful, we arrived an hour before check in but were given our room straight away. I’d requested a high floor and we were given a room on the top floor, which was clean and a decent size with a huge shower! The room was also quiet and breakfast was decent, with vegetarian sausages provided on request. For a short stay we couldn’t fault it for the price.

First of all I want to say the staff are lovely and can’t do enough for you. The hotel is in a great location and if you’re out with friends in Manchester and just need somewhere to lay your head for one night then this place will do. But it’s not exactly the ritz Carlton. The carpets in the room were dirty, I wore flip flops inside the room the entire time. The chair in the room was also dirty. There was a hair on one of the cushions on the bed that wasn’t mine. But the bathroom was the biggest disappointment. I showered on the night but then left in the morning and opted to go home to wash again. The toilet roll holder was broken so the toilet roll kept dropping on the floor. There were cracks in the wall and floor tiles and in the sink. There was rust on the rail on the side of the bath. It was just very unpleasant on a whole and in desperate need of redecorating. The rooms shouldn’t be more than £40 a night at best.

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
