Maldron Hotel Manchester City Centre

10/10 Excellent

"Such a good central location, always my go to when i come to manchester. Tried somewhere else the last time i visited in April but the Maldron topped it by far. basically never going to be trying another hotel again "

Britannia Hotel Manchester

"Perfect location in town, car park short walk away. Hotel bar was lovely. Perfect for what we needed. Walls a bit thin so can hear people in the corridor or next door if they are being loud. But we weren’t spending much time in the hotel other than to sleep so this did not bother us. "
