There are not many hotels in Manchester with these facilities 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 ... Read review

The hotel has 205 guest rooms and suites, Restaurant, Bar & Lounge, Leisure Spa and Pool, and car-parking. The hotel also has 8 meeting rooms the largest seating 300. the arrival of meeting Plan, a new branded meeting and conference product designed to provide the modern meeting planner with the highest levels of customer care, consistent service standards and a modern ergonomic meeting environment is coming soon to the Thistle Manchester.
205 bedrooms, including 12 suites, and no fewer than nine meeting rooms, the largest of which seats 300 theatre-style. In the heart of the city, we are ideally placed for people in Manchester to do business. We?re also just five minutes walk from the Arndale Centre ? Europe?s largest city-centre shopping mall ? plenty of our guests are here purely for pleasure, too. With NCP parking available nearby, Thistle Manchester puts the city?s many other attractions within easy reach, including the Lowry Centre, and of course, the hallowed turf of Old Trafford; but if you simply want to relax, our Otium Health & Leisure Club has everything you could wish for, without even leaving the hotel.
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. ...

Location
The ideal location, situated on Portland street at the end nearest to Piccadilly station but only a brisk 5-7 minute walk from Oxford Street station. This hotel overlooks Piccadilly gardens and the newly aquired ice rink , looking fantastic at moment lit up with fairy lights. Straight facing the chorlton street bus station and metrolink system
The Hotel
My visit to this hotel was unfortunatley business not pleasure, however I would definatley ... ...right hand side as you walk in, with the restaurant to the left. When checking it we were greeted by very polite staff who informed us of all the facilities available, the dining times and the security procedures on an evening. The hotel was pre-booked and paid for by work but it was £89.00 for the room per night for bed and breakfast. Evening meal was available at the public restaurant .
There are two fair sized lifts available to take you up the ...

Advantages: Top Location Disadvantages: Over Priced
I booked this hotel for myself and my partner to stay in after a night out in Manchester back in February. I booked it fairly last minute on the internet and as it was for a Saturday night I didn't expect a bargain but this room cost over £100. However as it was the only double room I could find I booked it, needless to stay I was more than annoyed when I arrived to find we would be staying in a twin room.
The hotel is in an ideal location, there ... ...minutes and Piccadilly station just a 5 minute walk. However we found we were able to walk to everywhere we wanted to go, the shops are a couple of minutes away and there are several bars along Portland Street. You are also within a 10 minute walk of areas such as the Gay village, Deansgate Locks and the Printworks.
The hotel itself is fairly dated, the decor is traditional and it could do with a lick of paint. We took the lift to our room as it ...

I stayed at the Tulip Inn (Trafford Centre) early in August as the Arctic Monkeys were playing at Lancashire Cricket Ground.
When we arrived the car park was quite full but had plenty of spaces, even though the hotel very obviously very busy.
There more
I stayed at this hotel for a period of 6 weeks last summer as I was on a course with work down south.
The hotel is situated in a small village setback from the road in a secluded position. It is about a five minute drive into Stevenage which makes it more
