Shopping trip to Manchester
The room was clean and comfortable. A good choice of breakfast was included and we didn’t have far too walk to the shops, bars and restaurants.
Valerie, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The hotel was in a great location for us as we were going to a concert at Band on the Wall just a few minutes' walk from the hotel. The staff were friendly, the room was spacious, clean and comfortable and the buffet breakfast was excellent, with good-quality hot and cold options. We come to Manchester a couple of times a year and in the past have always stayed at another well-known brand (also close by), but the Holiday Inn Express was definitely a cut above!

8/10 Very good

Easy and convenient
Easy, simple to find and great for 1 night stop with friend.
Alexander, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Cheap(ish) and cheerful as always
This hotel is a great option for solo travelers, couples who don’t mind a smaller bed and small groups of friends or families who can use the sofa bed. The hotel is definitely well loved, so the conditions are a bit worn in some places. But generally, it’s a great affordable gem in an expensive city so it’s a good go-to option.
Skyler, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Did the job
Very good. Did what we needed from our trip. The restaurant area for breakfast was really busy we only just managed to get a seat. Possibly on the smaller size given there are over 800 rooms. But good selection for breakfast and tasted good.

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely stay.
I had a lovely one night stay at the holiday inn express Manchester. The room was a family room, the beds were comfortable with fresh white bedding, television, tea and coffee facilities and a huge shower en suite. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the free breakfast was a great touch. The location is fantastic just a few steps to the northern quarter. I would definitely stay at the hotel again.
Sian, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Felt more like an Ibis then a Holiday Inn
The rooms require renovation. Not the standard one would expect of a Holiday Inn brand. Felt more like an Ibis

The hotel was a great base for our trip it was handy for the AO Arena & carpark .
Vanessa, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great location and friendly helpful staff. Room was clean and well presented with a well appointed bathroom. Perfect stopover if visiting Manchester for a night or longer. Breakfast was plentiful and although busy seats became available pretty quickly with a constant turnover of folks.

Gary, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Enjoyable stay
Difficult to navigate to the hotel as we were driving and so many one way systems, no parking at the hotel but we did unload the car, we had booked into a car park that was recommended and that was fairly nearby. Everything was within walking distance much easier than driving. The AO arena was only 10 minutes away to walk. Reception was speedy and the receptionist was helpful.
Edith, 1-night trip

Mr
Good. Proximity to restaurants, tram lines and Victoria station makes the location optimum for guests.

Margaret Louise, 1-night trip

Over night stay to watch gig at coop live
Decent location, 2 minute walk from secure parking at Apcoa which was discounted by staying at the hotel. Good choice of restaurants around the hotel. 10 minute taxi ride from the coop live. Friendly and uncomplicated check in. The room was comfortable enough but not cleaned to a great standard. Carpets and furniture in the room was a bit grubby. Buffet breakfast was included and was edible with a choice of English and continental options.
