Manchester Hotels > by Number of Rooms

Advantages: Gorgeous hotel, not too close to the centre so you dont get the noise
Disadvantages: the very slow lift

The Decision My partner and myself decided to make this trip to Manchester a special one. To be honest (like most couples) we have very little quality time together. So the search for a great hotel started. Every hotel was starting to look very similar to the next, until we stumbled upon "The Place Aparthotel". It offered a different concept in hotel stays, as what you actually stayed in were apartments instead of tiny hotel rooms. The fact that ...
...we went for it. The Arrival It took us about two hours to get to our chosen hotel. Due to the wonders of satellite navigation it directed us nicely in the vicinity of The Place Aparthotel. Then the problems of the sat nav came in, for those of you who aren't aware of how these systems operate the majority of them do not take into account one-way systems.. and to make matters worse for the last part of the journey there were roadwork's around the ...

Advantages: Great Location, friendly staff
Disadvantages: over priced.

...so I went for the Thistle as it was alot cheaper than other hotels with a pool, jacuzzi and sauna. I paid £79 for one night at the weekend. We arrived about 1.30pm and although it states check in is at 2 o'clock we thought we would try a bit earlier. The staff on reception were very friendly and checking in that bit early was not a problem. The reception is quite elegant looking with security on the door of an evening and a restaurant and bar, which ...
...Overall I dont think the Thistle is worth the money they charge especially as sometimes the rooms can be over £110! The rooms are very average in need of some refurbishment, if your only after a basic hotel in a great location and are willing to pay the money for it then the Thistle is for you. If I was only looking for basic facilities as this hotel has, I personally would look to pay a bit less in another hotel. ... Read review

Advantages: Sumptous, elegant, grand, slick, great location.
Disadvantages: expensive, no additional facilities e.g. swimming pool, gym etc.

...spent a night at the Palace Hotel in Manchester, on business. It is a rather grand, distinctively impressive Victorian building right in the heart of the city, that was originally built as insurance offices, apparently, and still does slightly have the feeling as you arrive in the door of being a rather commercial venue. I actually walked past the entrance the first time, assuming that what I could see was a shopping mall or something - the entrance ...
...the nearest is the NCP Palace car park but at £15.50 a day it's not cheap - a better deal for Palace residents can be had at the one a 5 minute walk away which only costs £7.50 a day if they validate your ticket at reception. It is an imposing building amd hard to miss (clever of me to walk past, actually!) and the entrance hall is cavernous and grand. The staff on reception are friendly and check-in was swift - this is a four star hotel and it ... Read review

Advantages: Close To Manchester Airport
Disadvantages: Too Many To List, Needs A refurb, Needs A Good Clean, Noisy

BACKGROUND ******************* Ahh the Britannia Country House Hotel, a couple of miles from Manchester airport, the perfect place to stay the night before jeting off on our honeymoon, thought my new wife and I in August 2006. We booked online and only paid £64 for a double room with champagne on arrival, and it looked so modern and the name country house just added to the picture in our heads what a perfect start to our honeymoon. How wrong can ...
...We arrived on a Saturday afternoon having got married on the Thursday and stayed a couple of nights at the hotel we had got married in, and as we parked on the large car park to the front and walked up to the front we noticed there was a wedding going on and they were having some photo's taken outside, the exterior looked very nice an fairly modern and the gardens were nice. As we entered the building though everything changed, the decor inside ... Read review

Advantages: IN the centre and near the arena
Disadvantages: No windows in bedroom

I went to Manchester recently to go and see a concert, so me and my friend stayed in this hotel. When pulling up to the hotel it looked funky, but it's totally different when you get inside. It had a very old fashioned decor and some of it seemed mismatched. The reception desk was long with 3 staff members behind it, but only one member of staff seemed to want to help. They never mentioned what time food was served or where either. After we checked ...
...would be big enough if you had more luggage. It did advertise the restaurant but it didn't tell you what food was available. When we got up to the room and it was quite small but very hot. So we looked behind the curtains to see if we could open the windows but to our surprise there was none. There was air conditioning and a fan but they were just too loud to sleep. The bed was very hard and lumpy to. The bathroom thank god was clean and a reasonable ... Read review
