Family friendly Hotels in Manchester

The hotel is only a short walk from Piccadilly station giving in great access to the trains. Its recent renovation really gives the hotel a clean trendy feel. Our room was spacious and equipped with everything you would need. The king bed and the pull out were comfortable. The bathroom is surprisingly large with lots of room if you need it. Breakfast was simple, but top quality from the hot to the cold options. Great stay.

From start to finish, our stay was fabulous! We visited for my husbands birthday and the staff really made us feel special! The concierge were great and looked after my car and luggage for us and offered us water bottles for the way home. Reception brought us cocktails on arrival which was a lovely touch! When we first arrived to our room, there was a very nice treat plate saying ‘happy birthday!’ which was a lovely gesture. The room was clean and the bed was very comfy and spacious. Breakfast was absolutely delightful and the thought that has gone into the theme of the hotel is amazing! Even my toast (which was freshly baked bread!) came in a little ‘money bag’. I think my only ‘issue’.. and I use that term extremely loosely!!.. was the price tags on ornaments and dressing gowns etc… it felt a little gauche for a 5* hotel. Although I completely understand their reasoning behind it because they are fantastic ornaments.. it did make us panic a little and check everything was in the room before we could relax because we didn’t want to be charged for things! The price list in the ‘Gotham bugle’ was probably enough. It also confused us a little as to what was complimentary because the only thing stated as complimentary was water. Overall, we will definitely stay there again! Thank you for an amazing experience.

The famous hotel in Manchester is not bad, but the scenery outside the window is not good.

We arrived earlier than checking due to having spa treatments booked as we were celebrating our 10th anniversary and left our bags at the reception. 3pm we got to our room and got ready to go out for evening. We left the hotel at 5pm and informed reception the thermostat was showing a fault code and we couldn't increase the temperature. Reception said Maintance would sort it. 7 hours later we returned to a room we couldn't increase the temperature to as no one had fixed it. It's a clean nice hotel and great location for concerts but for the price we paid I wouldn't be staying here again.

I stayed a short stay in YHA however it was nice. The staff were nice and helpful, there's a shared kitchen for self catering which was clean and organized. there's also a cafe and restaurant to serve food and drinks. Overall a nice experience for solo travelers and those who love meeting new people and love adventures.

My partner and I stayed here for a spa break getaway. Firstly, the hotel is lovely, nicely set out on the outside as well as inside, there is plenty of parking too. The hotel staff are absolutely lovely, so friendly and we were greeted with smiles and plenty of helpful information. One thing I will note is that there are stairs and no lifts, so I wouldn't say it was great for anyone unable to manage stairs. We had King Bedded Room, which was lovely, it was clean, well presented and had everything we needed for our weekend stay, however I wouldn't say the bed was Kingsize, it definitely felt more like a standard room. I'd recommend they get rid of the glass shower curtain and replace with an actual shower curtain that covers more than half the bath, as water had gone all over the bathroom floor. However, when we rang down and asked for more towels they were more than happy to help. Our evening meal was lovely, the starters (small plates) were stunning and the main was okay, they definitely seemed to put more effort into the small plates but it was all tasty and hit the spot (although don't waist plates by putting mash on a separate plate, just put it with the lamb, it looked and felt weird on its own). The thermal suit was fantastic! We spent hours going from steam room to sauna to thermal pool and jacuzzi as well as enjoying a swim in the pool. It was all clean and easy to navigate, the only thing missing was a treatment room to get a massage or two. We couldn't believe the facilities, the gym was huge! We had a look around as we are considering membership and the staff were super friendly, the size was incredible and it was so advanced. If you want use of the gym I'd recommend getting shown around first as there are lots of hidden gems. I'd recommend checking out Parrs Wood Entertainment Centre which is just a short walk up the road, there is bowling, cinema, arcade and lots of places to eat if you want to get out. There's also a nice little pathway down by the river mersey if you fancy a walk. We had a little trouble on checkout, we asked for a late checkout due to other plans and were told that it had been sorted for us to leave at 12pm. However at 11am we had housekeeping knocking on the door telling us we had to leave. I told them we had a late checkout and they argued with us and demanded we leave, they were quite rude. But when I rang down to reception they happily cleared things up for us in a much friendlier way and we left as planned at 12pm. All in all this hotel is a gem! It's perfect for a little relaxing break away. We will definitely be returning.

Booked this hotel as there was a train strike the day of my flight. Also it's right next to the airport and slightly cheaper than Radissons inside the airport. However, there were no signs from the train station for the hotel. I ended walking around roundabouts I'm not supposed to be on! Turned out I should have walked inside the airport to get out nearer the hotel. Bit of a queue at check in, but ok otherwise. Room was comfy, with a settee. The coffee cups seem to leak- both of them! Would appear to be the material the cups were made of. Big soft towels were a delight. Separate bottles on the wall for shower gel, shampoo, conditioner. Good shower, options of normal and rain shower in a big shower area. Check out was easy, I didn't pay for breakfast. I did a short run in the morning around the hotel car park! Needs must... Overall, I would recommend it, as long as you know how to walk to the hotel from the airport safely! I would recommend the hotel liaise with the airport about signage. If there were signs and I missed it, then they need to be prominent, including detailed directions on the website.

Took an awful long time to checkin. But the staff was friendly and helpful. Dinner good and reasonable priced. The bed was comfy but the pillows small and hard. Spacious room!!!

I just HAD to write a review on my stay here. Well... this was my 3rd hotel in 4 nights of travelling. It was also the cheapest one, and the only one I was kind of dreading! Oh how wrong could I have been! From the moment I entered, the receptionist was so friendly and helpful. Welcoming, kind and professional. I asked if there was any fridge I could use to store some food items I was travelling with and they kindly put these in the staff area for me overnight. Could not do enough to help. The hotel feels more like a modern new hostel than a hotel. The vibe in the communal area felt very much like a classy hostel. It was warm, friendly and welcoming. Free unlimited tea and coffee down there was great. Breakfast was only continental, which I hadn't realised. Lovely pastries, but a shame no hot food was served. Rooms are very small, as I had expected, but functional, Plenty of charging sockets, good hot shower with amenities. As I arrived into the station at terminal 1, and was flying from terminal 1 the next day it is quite a walk with heavy bags. There is no shuttle bus or alternative way to get to terminal 1 from here, only the skylink. This would have been fine, but the moving escalators on the skylink were switched off. When I asked the hotel staff about this, they said they have not been working for months. I don't know why this is, but it would have made moving to/from the hotel a lot easier so it was a shame. Overall a very good and unexpected stay. For the price, I would stay again. Thanks to all the staff for such a pleasant welcome.
