Great location a short walk from city centre with a good selection of eating and drinking options beside the hotel. Good breakfast and safe luggage storage.
Very good. Did what we needed from our trip. The restaurant area for breakfast was really busy we only just managed to get a seat. Possibly on the smaller size given there are over 800 rooms. But good selection for breakfast and tasted good.
This hotel is a great option for solo travelers, couples who don’t mind a smaller bed and small groups of friends or families who can use the sofa bed. The hotel is definitely well loved, so the conditions are a bit worn in some places. But generally, it’s a great affordable gem in an expensive city so it’s a good go-to option.
The hotel was in a great location for us as we were going to a concert at Band on the Wall just a few minutes' walk from the hotel. The staff were friendly, the room was spacious, clean and comfortable and the buffet breakfast was excellent, with good-quality hot and cold options. We come to Manchester a couple of times a year and in the past have always stayed at another well-known brand (also close by), but the Holiday Inn Express was definitely a cut above!
