Holiday Inn Manchester - Mediacityuk by IHG

Had a great room on the 16th floor. Great views and a really big room. Just lacking a bit more attention to clothing storage. Very small hanging space and no drawers. Not good for a long stay. Location is perfect with great transport connections. Not tried the restaurant since Marco Pierre White left but, honestly, it can't be any worse. I was embarrased for him just eating the slop. Good riddence. Still a great place to stay with plenty of places to eat on the doorstep.

A great hotel and I’d certainly stay again. The lifts are quite slow and at peak times it can be a bit of a wait. Other than that, as a frequent hotel stayer, I was very happy. Breakfast was also great with much better options than other similar hotels.

Friendly staff at check in. The rooms are a good size with room to move around and even desk to work from. The desk isn’t against the wall, but set into the room like an island. You can sit and see the view across Salford. Servicing of the rooms was quite slow. My room still hadn’t been serviced when I returned from work at 6pm. I wanted new towels to be able to shower before dinner and it was early to bed for a very early start so needed two sets of towels. Breakfast was reasonable for a Holiday Inn with eggs fresh to order available. The coffee machine tasted like it used Milk powder with sweetener in it!

So this stay was excellent, i checked in late and was met by the lovely Sonia , she helped me Get checked in and directed me to food spots In and around the local area. In the morning Jenae speedily helped me get water when i needed to fill my water bottle and recommended that I get the omelette this was exquisite. On the second day the lovely Nuria really helped me when my charger and phone charger cable broke, she took my phone and charged it and I was able to accept very important calls because of her going above and beyond .

The reception experience is overwhelming, but only because they've turned their Glade Plug-In up way too much and it's intoxicating. I'm amazed the staff don't need gas masks. They do an amazing job in difficult circumstances. The bar is pretty basic. Beer or wine, maybe a short, or G&T if you want to be really exotic. Rooms are pretty standard Holiday Inn stuff, reassuringly familiar. Like a Big Mac, with a bed and desk and a brief game of "guess which minor thing doesn't work." Ours was a bedside lamp. Fun times.

We enjoyed our stay here. Staff were capable, friendly and unfailingly helpful. Nice rooms which are spacious, clean and appealingly decorated in a contemporary style. We were lucky enough to get a room high up in the building which gave excellent views at all times and a lovely view of the sunrise. Good breakfast. The hotel is two minutes walk from a tram stop and from there twenty minutes from the centre of Manchester so it is an excellent choice for a visit as it costs about half what Central Manchester equivalents cost.

We've been here 7 years in a row for Xmas dinner, 6 years as Marco pierre whites, but this year as scoff and banter was without a doubt the best we've ever had. The food was delicious and everyone came out stuffed. The service staff were there for every need perfect in ever way. Highly recommend

Good location. Staff are friendly. Discount parking for the multi story car park-£11 for 24 hours. Room is clean and comfortable. Free of charge for late check out which is superb so I could get a quick shower after ran the Manchester half! Dog friendly hotel. Love it! My dog enjoyed the view.
