Per, China

breakfast was very good, plenty of options and also given the opportunity for a take out bag if you didnt have time to sit and eat, with take away cups for a hot drink. Hotel is very close to the Arndale shopping centre and the National Football Museum. There were plenty of places to eat and drink. 20 min walk to the Junk Yard Golf. Loved the Trams in Manchester! staff were very helpful and polite at the hotel. We will be making more visits to Manchester as there is so much to do.

Donna, United Kingdom

Good location for Northern Quarter and close to transport links. Staff were nice. Shower was lovely.

Caryn, United Kingdom

They let me check in 4 hours early , which I appreciate a lot because I was exhausted and starving. The staff were mostly very helpful and positive. 5-10 minutes away from the main streets and shops. Cozy, clean and comfortable rooms worth the value. Overall it was a good stay and I would stay there again.

The bed! It was more like a trampoline than a bed. I was lead on one side, my partner got into bed and I basically bounced off!! Mattress was far too soft, neither of us slept much at all.
The breakfast was delicious and there was plenty there to choose from.

Shower water pressure a bit weak but this may be the same in all Holiday Inns.
Very helpful reception staff although reception seemed to be single manned while we stayed there which caused a queue. Ideally located for Victoria station and the Northern Quarter bars.

Bed was only a standard double, and felt really small as my partner and I are both taller then average. I would have expected a king-size bed. The light in the bathroom was very dim, making it difficult to see. Breakfast was over-crowded and chaotic - nowhere to sit at first and no staff helping us find a table which meant it became something of a race to get to a table as soon as one became available. Some of the food had run out and wasn’t replaced; there were no forks and I had to wait a full twelve minutes to get one despite asking different 2 staff and hearing several other guests also asking for them. The staff were run off their feet, they had too much to do. By the time I got a fork my food was cold and inedible. I hate to waste food but had to leave it and ended up having just toast and a banana. Overheard one member of staff say it was busy because of the football. Fair enough, but the hotel should have been prepared and made sure enough staff were on that day to cope with the demand. I think otherwise breakfast would have been good, especially as it is included with the room rate.
Great location in the Northern Quarter and a competitive price for the city centre. Room was spotlessly clean. Large shower!

Breakfast was lovely, however the sign clearly states that on a bank holiday breakfast is served to 10.30, but when I asked reception they didn’t seem to realise that is was a was a bank holiday and had to ask someone and when they asked they said it stoped serving at 10am even though the sign says 10.30 on a bank holiday and so does the directory of service.
