Manchester Hotels > £100 to £119 Manchester Hotels

Lesson learnt

Advantages: 5 star luxury
Disadvantages: Super expensive!

...offered me a week at the Lowry Hotel in Manchester I jumped at the chance. I had seen the Lowry in the papers many times - the Man City players had a Christmas party there and David Beckham stays there when he is in Manchester. And not suprising as it is the only 5* hotel in Manchester. Car Park: There is a specific built car park for the hotel with barrier that requires a coin from the reception to get out to ensure no one else parks there. It ...
...I dragged my suitcase along the car park the concierge was quick to send someone out to help me he was warm and helpful and pointed me in the direction of the beautifully modern reception desk. As I entered the glass fronted building the marble floor and funkily lit area had stairs heading towards the bar and restaurant, the desk on the left and the lifts to the room on the right. The process was quick and easy to sign in and I was shown to my room ...

Review of The Lowry Hotel, Manchester

Bargain Rooms in a Fab Location

Advantages: Great location, cheap parking, great price
Disadvantages: No luxuries, all the extras cost a lot

...not a lot, but the Travelodge make no pretence about this being the reason why their prices are so low. They give you a room from 3pm to midday the following day and you can pay for any extras you want, including earlier check-in (£10), later check-out (£10), breakfast (£5.99 online or £7.50 at check-in, per person). We didn't take any of these options, so can't comment on the value for money, but considering there are so many places to eat in the ...
...though. Like I said, the Travelodge keeps their prices low by removing all the 'frills', so don't expect to find toiletries (other than one mini bar of soap), a hair-dryer, an iron or even a phone! We were also only supplied with one hand towel and one bath towel, so I would recommend asking for another at reception when you check-in to avoid problems when you get out of the shower and find nothing to dry yourself with! You can ask at reception as ...

Review of Travelodge

The Greatstone Hotel fantastic value for money

Advantages: fantastic value £20 all rooms ( no extras) perfect location
Disadvantages: No En- Suites In the middle of refurbishment

Having recently stayed at this hotel in Stretford Manchester I was lucky to get a room as the hotel is full most nights. Although the room I occupied was not en-suite it fulfilled my needs for a one night stay. The room was immaculate though small. It was spotlessly clean with obviously new decor, fittings and flat screen T.V. There were no tea facilities in the room but as much coffee and tea as I needed provided for free. The hotel was so convenient ...
...walk away. A nice little bar and large car parking facilities (free to guests) was just what I needed. In my oppinion where else could I stay for £20 . After reading past reviews that were not very good, I can honestley say that I was very pleasantly surprised and would stay here again. ...

Review of Greatstone Hotel

Greatstone Hotel Stretford - value for money

Advantages: Location and cellar bar. Cost
Disadvantages: It's not the Ritz!!!! [but it's not £200 per night either!

I came across this hotel looking on the Man Utd. site. Fantastic location [3 mins from the ground and 5 mins from Lancashire Cricket. Booked for 2 night s with three friends. This is not a luxury hotel and neither would you expect it to be for £22 per night. However it has been refurbished [ongoing] and is clean, welcoming , warm and friendly. `The jewel in the crown' is a fantastic cellar bar which was open before the match. It is a Pandora's box- ...
...United memorabilia. We couldn't believe that we had never heard of it. Saturday evening was spent in Manchester - ok if you like pushing your way through crowds of young drunken people but we don't! We arrived back at midnight - ready for an early night and were stunned to discover a fantastic [apparently one of the best in the country!] Northern Soul Club- cheap drinks- on till 2 am- brilliant music and a . great crowd. WHAT A NIGHT! We will certainly ...

Review of Greatstone Hotel

Would love to have reviewed further but read on......

Advantages: Good lcoation if you like getting drunk & noisy wearing your underwear in public.
Disadvantages: Everything else.

...imagine I would have got much (if any) sleep. Sister hotel deserves another review of its own but I wouldn't recommend the Britannia Hotel chain to anyone - not even my worst enemy to be honest, not based on this weekend. * Specific criteria based on sister hotel. ...
