Did the job

Very good. Did what we needed from our trip. The restaurant area for breakfast was really busy we only just managed to get a seat. Possibly on the smaller size given there are over 800 rooms. But good selection for breakfast and tasted good.

Cheap(ish) and cheerful as always

This hotel is a great option for solo travelers, couples who don’t mind a smaller bed and small groups of friends or families who can use the sofa bed. The hotel is definitely well loved, so the conditions are a bit worn in some places. But generally, it’s a great affordable gem in an expensive city so it’s a good go-to option.

The hotel was in a great location for us as we were going to a concert at Band on the Wall just a few minutes' walk from the hotel. The staff were friendly, the room was spacious, clean and comfortable and the buffet breakfast was excellent, with good-quality hot and cold options. We come to Manchester a couple of times a year and in the past have always stayed at another well-known brand (also close by), but the Holiday Inn Express was definitely a cut above!
