1 The Cow Hollow Hotel
images
This is a lovely hotel. The room was fabulous along with the bathroom. Parking was less than 2 minutes away and the staff were fantastic. Couldn't be anymore helpful and so friendly. The little extras are a massive bonus and the continental breakfast delivered to your door was really good. Its right around the corner from the busy Northern Quarter. Would definitely stay again.
2 Great John Street Hotel



images
Private party and they made such a fuss of us. There were no airs and graces, they made us feel very welcome despite turning up in jeans and trainers after an escape room activity. The food is delicious and plentiful. Highly recommend.
3 Eleven Didsbury Park



images
My stay at Eleven Didsbury Park attending a wedding yesterday was out of this world. A brand new experience in a wedding package.
My room was spacious and airy.
The mattress was the best ever.So comfortable.
All the staff were pleasant and willing to help for any need.
There were lots of
quirky areas.
The food was top notch.
Breakfast was more than adequate. Would love to stay again.
4 Hotel Novotel Manchester Centre



images
Ive just had a wonderful stay at the Novotel. The staff were very professional, friendly and attended to my every need. I felt very safe and the rooms were incredibly clean and smart. One of the best City centre hotels I have had the pleasure of staying in. Thankyou to all the amazing staff, you are doing an incredible job.
5 King Street Townhouse



images
Stephen was amazing! He went out of his way to get to know all his guests, there was no job that he wouldn’t do or seen beneath him even though he was the manager.
10/10 staff 10/10 service 10/10 hotel!
6 Velvet Hotel, Bar & Restaurant



images
Great food, lovely hotel and great Staff.
I booked the "stay for free" package and still had credit at the end to my amazement!!!
Stayed Sun into Monday and it was a good price for a lovely hotel in central Manchester.
Had lunch and an evening meal and it was lovely, great service on both accounts and Yan was hilarious.
Especially liked the wallpaper in our room
I will certainly be returning
7 Whitworth Locke, Civic Quarter



images
If you have nowhere to stay when you arrive in Manchester, choose Whitworth Locke.
Despite the low cost, the quality exceeds all expectations, plus the hotel's bonus - the ability to live with your pet.
Very conveniently located in the city center, there are many shops and cafes around.
In the rooms, or rather in the apartments, you feel at home. Everything in the apartment is harmonious and thoughtful, you will have everything you need: from a fully equipped kitchen with all appliances to an excellent bed with a huge blanket)
I also want to thank the hotel staff: all staff are ready to help at any time and will do a great job!
I want to express my special thanks and appreciation to Tom.
We spent four wonderful weeks here, this is the best place I recommend!
8 Kimpton Clocktower Hotel



images
Stayed here when it was the principle , first time as kimpton and it was amazing the room was immaculate and spotless praises to the cleaner the bed was so comfortable nothing was to much trouble can’t wait for our next stay
9 Hotel Gotham



images
When we parked up outside and got out of the car we was greeted by one of the staff members who took our bags and checked the car in. I would highly recommend using the valet parking, so easy! He was absolutely fantastic by the way, so cheerful and friendly which set to tone really nicely. We headed up to reception to check in, greeted again by the friendly staff (everyone was lovely) who gave us some vodka shots before we headed to our room. We stayed in the Bank Managers Suite which really was fantastic - the bath in the room was amazing! As we arrived at our room our bags arrived as promised. We drank in the bar and eat in the restaurant. Firstly the restaurant was fantastic, service was top drawer and our waiter couldn’t have been more accommodating, he really was fantastic! The food was outstanding especially the Chateaubriand! The bar was okay, the staff where very polite and helpful but service was slow...I understand it was busy so I can’t be too negative about that. There was plenty of options for cocktails, beers etc and everything we tried was 5*. Overall we had a fantastic stay and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to anyone - I don’t think I’ve ever experienced such fantastic customer service as we did here. Thank you to the staff at Hotel Gotham for a brilliant stay...we’ll be back!

Amazing food and building
12 The Midland

The midland is a probably one of the prettier hotels in Manchester, with food that's not half bad if you don't feel like stepping out.
13 Stock Exchange Hotel



images
Firstly the service at this hotel is impeccable, especially Shaun the concierge/valet. Nothing is too much trouble and everyone is so nice/friendly.
The hotel is luxurious and the suites are spacious - nineteen o’ six being my favourite.
Will be back again really soon. Easily favourite hotel in Manchester, and I’ve stayed in pretty much them all.
14 Hotel Brooklyn



images
Very spacious rooms and design. Rooms are very nice to which give a nice view of the entire city.
15 ABode Manchester



images
A perfect boutique getaway.
The hotel is gorgeous and the rooms are fantastic. Booked the enviable room and was lovely. I really wanted a certain room which Dani - the Manager went completely out of her way to try and secure. Unfortunately it was unavailable but the effort gone to find it was really appreciated. Could not fault the customer service. Only stayed a night but was an amazing experience. Also had the best sleep ever here the beds are huge just what I like.
16 Malmaison Manchester



images
Four of us stayed at the Malmaison Manchester hotel to celebrate a 21st birthday. The rooms were clean modern and spacious. The breakfast was lovely, however the best thing about the hotel were the 2 members of staff who looked after us during our stay. They were Caroline on reception who was exceptionally pleasant, helpful and professional and also Davide who due to current Covid restrictions looked after us single handedly in the Brasserie. He also was very pleasant efficient and calm. Thanks you two for making our stay a memorable one. I would definitely recommend the hotel !!
17 Native Manchester



images
Lovely and clean apartment hotel, with all amenities. Extremely comfortable beds and large walk in showers. Friendly and helpful staff. Cannot fault the customer service from Phoebe, Sam and Nayyab. Tried several hotels/apartment hotels, but keep coming back to Native. Highly recommended
18 Hotel Indigo Manchester - Victoria Station

Amazing studio, quality sounds using quality equipment, I’m someone who pays close attention to every detail in my music, and the production and efforts from the producer I work with meets my expectations and more ! Great place , great energy! Highly recommend!
20 Travelodge Manchester Piccadilly



images
Dog friendly as are all Travelodges.
12/12 for location alone, right in the centre of everything. You can park in the Mercure Hotel car park on the opposite side of Piccadilly Gardens for around £7 per 24 hours if booked in advance.
Very warm room with no air con or opening window so would never stay here in the summer.
Fan provided which did help slightly.
Room was clean and fresh.
Apart from that, pretty quiet hotel and got a great nights sleep
