Top hotels in St. John's
TRIBE Manchester Airport
"Didn’t have breakfast did have supper. The food was good better than most airport hotels. One complaint- it was expensive £14 for a starter and £19.50 for a pizza. The wine was good too but again expensive. So that said it was a good experience on the whole."

a&o Manchester City Centre
"The location is excellent, very close to everything, and the place is very clean. The only downside was the experience with the guests upstairs constantly walking heavily around their room for long periods, which was extremely noisy and unpleasant."

Radisson Blu Hotel Manchester, Airport
"Arrived after midnight, so straight to bed. The room was clean, but very warm, so had to turn the temperature down. Went down for breakfast, but as the plates were cold, the hot food quickly went cold, so didn't finish. All the staff are pleasant and friendly."
