I have had the pleasure of staying here on business on several occasions. My mother?s family come from Manchester so I always really enjoy visiting Manchester.
About the hotel:
The Arora Manchester is a four star hotel with over 140 bedrooms. It?s part owned by Cliff Richard and there are even five special Cliff bedrooms decorated with his memorabilia if you like that kind of thing! The location on Princess Street is also excellent as you are in the city centre and only 10 minutes walk from Piccadilly station if you arrive by train. It?s also about a 20-minute journey from the airport, which is also very convenient. The hotel doesn?t have it?s own car park but apparently guests can use the nearby NCP to park at a discounted rate.
First Impressions:
It?s an old fashioned looking building but it also looks quite grand. It is also ...
Advantages: reasonable price if booked in advance Disadvantages: none really
As with my previous recent reviews this forms a part of my need to get a life ethos, and even though I live a short distance from Manchester on a planned night out on the town I decided it was better worth my time staying over than drunkely seeking the nightbus home. So armed with my trusty cashback paying link to a hotelbooking site I found this one for the night.
I paid £50 for a doubleroom with no food included, the hotels standard rate is around £66 so a considerable saving especially given I only booked a few days before I wanted to stay.
The hotel itself is seconds from Picadilly Gardens which is the location of a large bus station and a tram stop which runs between the two main train stations, it is also a few minutes walk from the main Bus Station in the city where the National Express coaches stop.
The hotel has ...
Advantages: Location Disadvantages: Expensive for just a room.
Nice hotel and you do get a sense of actually gettinh what you pay for. That's probably because the rooms are quite expensive - if you just want somewhere to sleep during your weekend in Manchester. Would say its worth paying for as a treat to be in nicer surroundings but not worth paying for if you're not going to be in your hotel room long and just using it for somewhere to dump your shopping and get your head down after a night out. If however, you have money to burn and don't care what you pay. Its the place for you why not?
The rooms were stylish and impressive when you walked in - with floor to ceiling windows giving you a nice view - depending which side of the building you were on.
Central location just being off Deansgate, so close to everything including china town, city centre, pubs, clubs etc.
Nice if you fancy ...
