The Midland

City Centre Manchester|0.39km from John Rylands Research Institute and Library
Having submitted my allergy list a few weeks before our booking and seeing that there were so many gluten free, vegan options, I was excited to be able to join with my friends in celebrating the baby that’s about to be born. Imagine my disappointment when the waitress only went through my allergies (I know it’s an extensive list) at the table in front of friends, not all of whom I’d have liked to know about said allergies. I was hoping for a simple meal and enjoyment of afternoon tea. This did not happen. I was given gf bread that contained egg powder - that I’m intolerant to. I agreed to it because I already felt awkward. I was also given a plate of fruit. And then offered another round of sandwiches. Quite frankly I was shocked and appalled. I was left feeling very isolated and excluded from my friends who were all enjoying their delightful cakes. It’s not difficult to create sandwiches and cakes and scones to my allergies. I do it often. I even offered to pay extra because I know I’ve got a lot. But honestly having to pay £30 in the middle of a cost of living crisis for sandwiches and fruit and being excluded from my friends was ridiculous. I was very disappointed. The waitress was lovely, and double checked everything. The atmosphere was great, it would have been a perfect afternoon if I’d been catered for. But I wasn’t. And I found it quite unbelievable to be honest. I didn’t say anything during our time at the tea room, because I didn’t want to ruin my friends day. But I will not be returning to The Midland because of this terrible service. Photos of everyone else’s afternoon tea, then mine.

Leonardo Hotel Manchester Central - Formerly Jurys Inn
4.4/5124 Reviews
City Centre
On arrival we were given a nice double room - plenty of space, clean with a well furnished bathroom. After about half an hour we realised the heating in the room wasn't working so I called down to reception. Within 5 mins of calling, a lovely young member of staff came up to look at it. After another 5 mins or so he had upgraded us to an executive room on the same floor which was huge! He even offered to help us move our cases etc to the new room. We were also given complimentary vouchers for drinks and coffees. The breakfast buffet had plenty of choice so all good with us. Cannot fault the customer care but there were a couple of small things that weren't great - the toilet in the second room didn't flush well at all but after being upgraded we weren't going to make an issue of it so said nothing Only other thing was the lack of light in the room - we had a side room so no natural light got in. There were a couple of lamps on the desk but far too dull - not great when trying to do hair and make up for a wedding! All in all we had an enjoyable stay at the Jury's Manchester and would stay again.
Moxy Manchester City

I was staying at The Moxy due to travelling to Manchester for an evening out with friends who live in Manchester and surrounding areas. This was pre booked by one of my friends . on arrival I was amazed at the staff who were working hard behind the bar as well as checking guests in . Very friendly atmosphere . It’s also dog friendly which was great for the future if I stay again . Rooms were lovely and clean , perfect for a short stay and close to everything . I can recommend Fazenda , Brazilian resteraunt, a stones throw from the Hotel absolutely amazing food if you like that sort of thing . On my way back to London now but had a great night in Manchester. Will be back soon .

Yotel Manchester is absolutely amazing! The hotel is modern, stylish, and the rooms are super cozy. The staff is friendly and always ready to help. The location is perfect, right in the heart of the city. I had an incredible stay and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Manchester. 5 stars all the way!
The Alan

Stayed for a 2 night stay at this brilliant hotel. Originally had to change the dates due to covid restrictions but was handled very well by the hotel representative Magda. The check in process was quick and easy and the team presented a friendly service. The room was spacious and the bed was really comfortable. The morning breakfast in a bag was a nice touch, the bacon was lovely. Overall a brilliant hotel and will definitely be staying here again
The Edwardian Manchester, A Radisson Collection Hotel
4.5/5137 Reviews
City Centre
We only stayed for one night me and my partner, we arrived late and wanted to go out to eat. Great location, walking distance for everything you need from bars to restaurants from Brazilian to Thai food or British pub food. We pushed our luck being late and the man on reception was brilliant and his service was fantastic and recommended some lovely places. After a long day our room had everything we needed, walk in shower, robes, super king bed and room service. We skipped breakfast and booked the pool for 9am which is included and was just perfect, the reason for our stay was to do the tour of old Trafford and the hotel certainly made our trip more worth while.
