Poor value

Manchester no longer a good value destination. We've stayed her loads of times but it's just getting too expensive for the experience. Breakfast is a shambles, no juice, tea/coffee machines out of order, no cutlery and empty tables left too long with dirty crockery and cutlery. Would think twice before booking again.

Lovely stay.

I had a lovely one night stay at the holiday inn express Manchester. The room was a family room, the beds were comfortable with fresh white bedding, television, tea and coffee facilities and a huge shower en suite. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the free breakfast was a great touch. The location is fantastic just a few steps to the northern quarter. I would definitely stay at the hotel again.

It was just ok

Hotel is in a convenient location, quite modern and clean. Staff were overall nice and professional although the breakfast staff were especially friendly and worked really hard. Breakfast was a zoo! So busy, not enough tables and food kept running out. The staff did their best but just couldn't cope with the demand and the small space. Beds were also very, very soft - made for an uncomfortable nights sleep. We were also placed on the first floor, overlooking a builders yard, this meant that we were woken up by lots of noise every morning - bring ear plugs!
