It's in good location a bit of walk to the real centre and China. The breakfast is excellent. Room us clean and bigger than other hotel chains with similar price. A lot of bars around.

“Shoutout to Holiday Inn Express for ticking all the boxes 🙌🏾✨ Vegan sausages on the breakfast bar 😋, a pancake machine (yes please!), sanity towels stocked up, and the flex of early check-in and late check-out? Say less. 🛎️🧳💚” #HolidayInnExpress #HotelReview #TravelUK #BudgetTravel #VeganTravel #HotelBreakfast #PancakeMachine #FamilyTravel #CityBreaks #Staycation #TravelTips #ComfortStay

I had a great stay at this hotel! The room was spotless and very well maintained. The service throughout was excellent—every staff member I encountered was incredibly friendly and helpful. The location couldn’t be better—right in the heart of the city centre, close to shops and lots of great restaurants. Despite being in such a lively area, the hotel is tucked away on a quiet street, making it the perfect balance of convenience and peace. Highly recommend!

Standard really. Not special. The bed was comfortable and the shower was awesome. Situated in town so was convenient. No fridge in the room , so my wine was warm.

Decent stay. The cleanliness was solid—rooms and common areas were well-maintained. Amenities were standard, nothing extraordinary but functional. Service was good. Decent breakfast choices!

The hotel is in a great location for anyone visiting the AO arena, within easy walking distance of the arena, the Printworks, and the Arndale centre. Nice clean room and bathroom. Breakfast is good and included in the price, however, it gets very busy at peak times.
Response from Property: Dear Guest,Thank you for your thoughtful review. We’re delighted you appreciated our prime location near the AO Arena, Printworks, and Arndale, as well as the cleanliness of your room. We understand breakfast can get busy at peak times and will look into ways to improve this. We hope to welcome you back soon for another enjoyable stay.Warm regards,StephGuest Services Manager

Did not stay due to the hotel not offering flexibility after a change was required almost immediately after booking. Would not book to stay in the future yet if the hotel had been accommodating and understanding, I’m sure we would have. Very disappointed and the situation was very stressful for us.

Everything was except the selection of the room. They allocated room for disabled person. But I never requested such room. During my stay, I felt me like a disabled person.
