Top Manchester Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Express Manchester City Centre Arena by IHG

8/10 Good

"Twin room was okay, but one bed was worn and not very comfortable. One of our party was moved, then later I was told I also had to move into that same room as they couldn’t split the booking. We ended up in a double plus sofa bed, not like for like. That late-night handling felt messy. Next morning the manager Adam was excellent and sorted a refund. Decent stay, but room quality and the late-night handling let it down."

ibis budget Manchester Airport

8/10 Good

"The location is 10/10 convenient! We stayed the night before a super early flight the next day. When we got there, the hotel was super busy, even at 9pm. People are hanging out in the lobby, having food, playing ping pong etc. So if this is not your vibe, and you just want a chill night in, this might not be the place for you. We ordered a pizza at the restaurant, and it's kind of exactly what you'd expect, a heated up frozen pizza. The entire hotel was giving youth hostel vibes, which again, did not bother us, but maybe it's not your thing. Room was small but expected. There were some dirt marks on our sheets/ duvet, but since we were only staying the night, we did not care for it. The price is really good for this hotel, so you're basically getting what you payed for, a place to crash before a flight. It was nice that they have vending machines with real food options 24/7 in the lobby, and a restaurant/ bar."
