Ibis Hotels in Manchester

The hotel boasts an excellent location, being only a 10-minute walk from Manchester's two train stations. However, the room amenities were quite dated, and if you're particular about cleanliness, this might not be the best choice for you. The breakfast was a standard English breakfast, offering a good variety of options and tasting quite decent.

I stayed at the Ibis on Portland Street in central Manchester (not to be confused with the Ibis Styles further down the road). The staff were friendly and allowed me to check in early, which was a nice touch. Although I didn't spend much time in the room as I was out exploring, it was a good place to rest. The room was clean, with tea and coffee provided, and the shower had excellent water pressure and stayed hot. The Wi-Fi worked well, though the air conditioning had analogue controls, which felt outdated and a bit unclear to use. Breakfast was included in the stay, but I didn’t have the chance to try it as favoured my beauty sleep. There was some noise from footsteps in the corridor and the room above, but overall, it was a decent stay. The room was quite similar to the one I stayed at in London Greenwich.
