Castlefield Hotel  

The staff couldn't have been more friendly and helpful. The guy on reception when we arrived to the girl on reception saturday evening. As well as the rest of the staff but these two particularly. The facilities were excellent. We enjoyed the gym, swimming, sauna and steam room. Booked some treatments in which were fantastic. Castlefield is so close to everything, for us Old Trafford and the centre of Manchester for shopping and eating. The breakfast at £7.50 was great, full English cooked breakfast and as much as you would like. We will certainly be returning here.

I live in hotels, supposedly some of the best, so it's testament to the Castlefield that I'll stay there when I return to Manchester when I can stay where I wish. The staff are ever helpfull, the location is superb, and it's parking is secure and reasonable. It's in need of an upgrade now but don't let that put you off. It's good value for the price and has plenty of facilities and a friendly bar.

Beware being placed above the Friday night Disco that belts out a tune until 04:00am. It's time the Castlefield secured the locks on the windows, it's a simple job, every window in the rooms I've stayed in dosen't close securely, must be costing a fortune in lost heat.

Its location was ideal as I stayed overnight to attend a work Christmas function in the hotel vicinity. I was not impressed with the outside signage as I was unsure where to access the carpark then where to access the front doot of the hotel. My first and over riding impression was that the whole place needed painting and a general make over. It was low end economy class and as it was so much in need of painting, it appeared grubby !!

Excellent location and good value

Relaxed and informal atmosphere - good swimming pool and reasonable food.

We were extreamly disappointed at the notice that the gym and leisure faciliities were unavaliable for the duration of our stay. Staff I dont believe would have said anything if we hadnt questioned it. You have our email address and you should have informed me. This one and only reason for booking the hotel. Upon arrival back at night yet another notice stating breakfast would be avaliable from 9am not 8am as advertised. Room service trays had been left in the corridor and were there upon our arrival and still their upon departure. Breakfast despite being served an hour later than advertised, had six out of date yoghurts avaliable. Why couldnt you contact me prior to arrival so Icould have made an informed choice about continuing with the booking?

It was our 2nd visit - we stayed as a couple in august 2011 and were impressed with facilities. We returned as a family with our 2 teenage sons who enjoyed it too. We made use of the gym and swimming pool and visited the science museum just over the road. The only negative was that on our last stay, our breakfast was cold, so we decided to just book our rooms this time without breakfast. However, everything else is excellent and we look forward to going back

On our last visit, we ordered breakfast which was cold and not to such a great standard. This time we didnt order breakfast and stayed in a room only deal. However, we are planning to return soon as we enjoy the rest of the hotel and facilities but just won`t have breakfast.

Convenient situation and easy of parking.

Requested a quiet room and there was little noise inside the hotel thought the traffic noise was intrusive.

The location is excellent. Rooms are clean and well appointed

Decoration of halls needs attention.

Acoustics issues, was woken up from people talking shouting in room next to mine.

Despite asking for a quiet room on booking I wasn't told that there was an event running on the hotel that evening. The music was unbelievably loud and went until 1am. I realise the hotel makes its money with large events, but it would have been more appropriate if I had been informed of this on booking and then I could have chosen to go somewhere else. The response of the staff/manager (that room is usually quiet, that I was not directly above the music but one floor above (!), that no one else had complained) made it seem like it was me being unreasonable, which I really resented - they didn't take me up on my offer to come up to the room and judge for themselves whether I was overreacting. They weren't able to move me because the hotel was full, although they did reduce the price of the room a bit - small comfort really. I would suggest that next time they have an event on, they take a walk to that floor and that end of the corridor and decide whether or not they can hear the music.

excellent location for Castlefield, Spinningfields, Deansgate end of Manchester. Deansgate station 3 mins walk. Room basic but neat and clean. Price very reasonable - No grumbles.
