The Capital of the North
With an industrial past and a modern outlook, the complex fabric of Manchester is interlaced with interesting museums, English pubs and shopping centres.
Dash straight into the luxurious Selfridges and Triangle departments stores before checking out the old-English charm of the Shambles.
Manchester wouldn’t be the same without its 2 famous football clubs and fans can go wild at either of the Old Trafford or City of Manchester Stadiums. Music fans will adore the many shows performed at the Manchester Arena, the largest of its type in Europe, and the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra.
The cultural foundations of this predominantly red-brick city are on display at the Manchester Museum and the People’s History Museum. If art is you preference, the extensive pre-Raphaelite collection at the Manchester Art Gallery is a sight to behold.

The public transport system was excellent.
The public transport system was excellent. The sites we saw were excellent. The food was good and friendly staff hotels and restaurants. The footpath need a lot of work as they are uneven and are a tripping hazard.

Great place to visit with so much to do and see in the evenings if you feel a little bit touristy. Lovely walk along the Rochdale Canal path, past some fab pubs and restaurants. Also visited Piccadilly Gardens this time round, which, because of the super sunny weather, a great water fountain feature with kids splashing around and a band playing had a lively holiday feel to it. Visit Sam's Chop House for dinner and try the hash, delicious!

Locals, of which there is a variety of ethnicities, were approachable and helpful, even asking us when they saw us looking at a map if we were in need of help. Plenty of taxis, location of conference we attended was great, and could access main shopping centre on foot. Manchester has some historical properties. Only thing we didn't like, was the number of homeless people that we saw sleeping on the streets.

The people are warm and friendly.
The people are warm and friendly. Everywhere in the centre is within walking distance but if you want to go further then the tram is excellent way to get around (and great value).
The streets are wide and the architecture is interesting . There are plenty of museums and quirky places to visit. There are many music and entertainment venues and a visit can be combined with an event. I visited over the weekend of Manchester Day which was a celebration of all the different cultures and groups in the city. There are plenty of good places to eat and variety is amazing!
“The room was extremely clean and comfortable. We slept very well with no disturbance. There was free parking on site. The bus stop was right outside the hotel for quick and easy travel into Manchester city centre.”
“Stayed here for one night for mine and my girlfriends engagement and have to say the hotel was faultless. I myself used to work in hotel management and could not fault a thing. The hotel was aware of the special occasion and had upgraded our room which was amazing and had given us 2 complimentary drinks which was a great touch to a great night. All staff where great and a credit to the company. I will definitely be coming back and staying here again. Thank you holiday inn Manchester city centre. ”
“The location was excellent, quiet but easy enough to access Manchester City centre.
There was a lot of supermarkets and good restaurants within walking distance
We booked a 2 bedroom apartment, which gave the comforts and privacy of home, much better option than staying in a hotel”
“Stayed in this hotel before and chose for the location which is excellent 5 minutes walk from Manchester Piccadilly Station close to Manchester City Centre
It also from the outside looks great.
The room as reasonably clean and breakfast decent
However would only recommend a short stay not ideal for any longer than 2-3 days as it not a luxury hotel so you get the basics”
