Holiday Inn Express Manchester City Centre Arena by IHG
10/10 Excellent
"From the start to the finish the experience at this hotel was amazing. The staff couldn’t do enough for you, the room was so lovely and quiet. The beds were so comfortable and as we were on the top floor the view was so interesting. The breakfast had everything you could want, and everything was so clean. Loved the idea of an 11 o’clock check out. Would definitely recommend this hotel"

"The room had no kettle and the carpet was filthy. Bed was good comfortable. Central to city. You would know 2nd building was run down old Ibis building"
Crowne Plaza Hotel Manchester City Centre by IHG
10/10 Excellent
"Everything about the hotel was fabulous. All staff were friendly, welcoming and polite. Good location. Breakfast was fantastic with a great selection of food and drinks. Plenty of shops and bars around the hotel. Convenient location for the coop live arena and the Etihad Stadium. All in all a great place to stay. Thank you to everyone who looked after us during our stay."
The Alan
8/10 Good
"Rooms were stylish and trying to keep in with Manchester heritage. However, the look made it seem unfinished, with plastered walls and broken tiles trying to create that working/factory/industrial look. The bathroom door needed planing that’s for sure as it wouldn’t shut easy. Walk in wet floor showers are nice, though the glass wall is short so water can leak out onto the wood floor if not careful. Good location though, not right in the night time heart but a short walk away. City centre also a short walk away."
Manchester Portland By Sunday
8/10 Good
"Maybe more coffee sachets in the room. There was only 2 in the room"
Townhouse Hotel Manchester
10/10 Excellent
"Fantastic stay, great location, room was fantastic and the bed was super comfy. Great breakfast and the staff were wonderful, night and day. Special thanks to REBECCA. Will book again"
