ibis budget Manchester Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Comfy room/bed and great value for hotel so close to T2."

a&o Manchester City Centre

6/10 Okay

"The location is good and not too far from train stations and the central library and Piccadilly. You have to scan a QR code to check in which I never had to do elsewhere, this took people ages and there was big queue at check in due to taking everyone so long. It does not save anyone else time and all the check in staff were just waiting around ready for people to complete the check in process on their phones. The rooms are a good size and had 2 single type camp beds and a double bed, depends if someone would be ok on the camp beds for an extended period of time. No tea or coffee making facilities in the rooms which was a surprise, they said this was because they offer cheaper rates and that is why they do not have them. The rates here were no cheaper than other hotels in the area when I visited. The breakfast which is £12 was not good quality in my opinion, they had no fresh fruit such as melon other fruit you usually get elsewhere, and only boiled eggs no other eggs. So it was a little lacking and you also had to scan a QR code to enter the breakfast room which did not work. I think if the price is cheaper here compared to other hotels/hostels then it might be worth it, but overall was not as good as it could be."

Holiday Inn Express Manchester Airport by IHG

8/10 Good

"The hotel was functional, all the basics were there, not luxuriously glamourous, but I don't want that. It was all clean and comfortable. The breakfast was good, but the self-service area was too small for such crowds of people, especially for wheelchair users who were having difficulty to manoeuvre in the narrow space. I arrived at 1.00am, late due to train holdups, and would have liked something to eat, but there were no snacks available. I enjoyed my stay, and would stay again."

Holiday Inn Express Manchester City Centre Arena by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"I really enjoyed my stay. It would be even better if there were coffee beans with a stronger coffee flavor to choose from. Also, the sofa bed could be more comfortable, as my child found it a bit hard on the back. If possible, adding more triple rooms would be great for families. Thank you!"
