Hotels near The John Rylands Library, Manchester

The location of this property is excellent and was easily the highlight of our stay. Staff were friendly and helpful whenever we needed assistance, and the bathrooms were clean and well maintained. Unfortunately, there were a number of issues that affected our overall experience. The blackout blinds do not fully cover the windows, allowing daylight through the sides from very early in the morning, which made it difficult to sleep. We initially had to change rooms due to cleanliness concerns. In the first apartment, we found some soiled items in the bathroom bin and a heavily rusted tin opener. In the second apartment, there were unpleasant smells coming from the fridge and the cupboard under the sink, and while the tin opener was in better condition than the first, it also showed signs of rust. Some areas also appeared to have been missed during cleaning, including around the fridge hinge. The biggest disappointment was the comfort. The sofa beds were uncomfortable to sit on, with the cushions constantly sliding forward. The main bed was even more disappointing. It appeared to be two beds pushed together, was noisy whenever you moved, and provided one of the poorest nights’ sleep I’ve had in accommodation. By the end of our stay I was waking up with a sore, stiff back, which was particularly frustrating as this trip was supposed to be a break after several weeks of physically demanding decorating work at home. For a bed advertised as a large double, it also felt surprisingly short. We also experienced an issue with our room key after arranging a late checkout, which meant an unnecessary trip back to reception to have it reprogrammed. Noise from furniture being dragged around in the apartment above was noticeable during our stay as well. Overall, the apartment had the facilities we needed and the location is hard to fault, but the comfort, maintenance and attention to detail fell below expectations. While I appreciate the friendliness of the staff, I would think carefully before choosing to stay here again.

We booked this hotel because we had an early flight from Manchester, and it was such a pleasant surprise! We arrived during a heatwave in the UK, stepping out of a stuffy, non-air-conditioned car feeling like we'd been in a sauna, into a wonderfully cool and air-conditioned hotel room. It was incredibly comfortable!

I had a very good stay at Leonardo Hotel Manchester Piccadilly. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the check-in process was quick and easy. As I was celebrating a special occasion, my room was kindly upgraded, which made my stay even more enjoyable. The room was clean, comfortable, and had everything I needed. The hotel is modern and in a great location, close to Manchester Piccadilly station and the city centre, making it very convenient. Overall, I had a lovely experience and would happily recommend this hotel to others.

Outstanding hospitality and superb facilities As someone who travels frequently for business, I am used to standard hotel procedures, but the team at The Manchester Deansgate Hotel completely blew me away for this leisure stay.They responded brilliantly to our pre-arrival requests, upgrading us to a beautiful King Skyline room and adding thoughtful touches like a welcome note from the manager and complimentary drinks. The hotel’s physical assets are in top shape, the 2nd-floor pool and sauna are peaceful and high-quality, and the breakfast service was seamless despite a busy weekend. Exceptional execution by the management and front-desk team.

• The hotel staff were extremely polite, kind, and very helpful. This meant a lot to me. • The overall atmosphere and location of the hotel are good. The room was generally clean, the bed was clean, and the room was spacious. • However, there were several issues that would make me reconsider staying here again for a longer visit: - The electric kettle had visible dust and did not seem properly cleaned, so I didn’t use it. - The hairdryer was not clean. - The white accessibility support rail in the bathroom had rust and buildup, which made the bathroom feel uncomfortable to use. - The shower head had a lot of limescale, and some other areas also looked like they hadn’t been cleaned properly. • Breakfast was unfortunately very poor. Most items were already finished when I arrived. The scrambled eggs and hash browns were badly cooked and very low quality. I couldn’t eat anything and only had a cup of tea before returning to my room. Because of these cleanliness issue, I might choose another hotel next time.

I booked a single room for my family for one night before their flight back home the next day. They gave really good feedback, saying it was clean and hygienic. It's also very close to the train station, as well as T2 and T3 terminals. A simple breakfast was included.

The room is clean and comfortable, with lots of space to store luggage and stuff. I was quite surprised to see the coffee maker and refrigerator inside the room. The buffet breakfast is plentiful and the staff is friendly. The location is opposite to China Town with lots of nice restaurants for dinning. The only thing that could be improved is that room cleaning starts too early - at 9:00 am that I was woken up by the doorbell.

The hotel is well located for the city centre, there were no bottles of water in our room but we saw other rooms had water when I requested for it I was told the tap water was good enough to drink but there was no sign in the room stating this. I had to ask for bathrobes and slippers The bathroom showed signs of tiredness with some mould in areas Overall the staff were very friendly and helpful

No response when I requested a shuttle from airport (uber worked fine tho) the room was clean but no air conditioning and no mini fridge. Staff was nice and easy to access public bus to town

My man told me the doors locked yet there wasn’t any batteries to make functional, he also said I looked like a stoner n can happily smoke ****, so I took upon his request and enjoyed my stay to the fullest, was beneficial of the pricing range as the cost was no more then a 3.5 per bedroom  As for the the essential part of the trip, my associate commandeered a new sleeping partner, So many thanks to the OUO house members for letting us stay in Middleton 😘
