I have had many good stays at the Hilton Garden Inn brand, but I have never found a particular stay…read moreat the Hilton Garden Inn brand to be exceptional, this is until I visited Hilton Garden Inn Manchester Emirates Old Trafford, which delivered a very good hotel experience. The location of the hotel as suggested by the name is a part of the Emirates Old Trafford Stadium complex, it is also right next to Old Trafford Metrolink stop, which has services into Bury and Piccadilly, via the city centre, and takes around fifteen minutes, this also makes this hotel the ideal location to be close to the city centre but without the noise and heavy traffic. I managed to take a look at three different types of rooms during my stay, the first being a King Room with a Sofa Bed, this room did feel slightly cramped and the sofa did seem to get in the way a little, but like all the rooms this was comfortable. My friend stayed in this room and was very happy overall. The second room I tried was a standard King Room, this was much larger and more spacious, I was delighted with this room however due to an issue with the bathroom (The toilet was unable to stop flushing), I had to be re-located, due to no other standard rooms being available, I was upgraded to a King Room with a Pitch View. The King Room with a Pitch View was one of my favourite hotel rooms I've ever stayed in, the room wasn't too big, nor too small, but what made the room was the fantastic view, and the balcony, this is a dream come true for any cricket fan. The rooms did get very warm too, so having a balcony did help the room to cool, as windows in the standard rooms did not appear to open, and I did find the thermostat very difficult to use. I was also pleased with the comfort of the room, as well as the lighting and the fact the room was very quiet, I was able to sleep for much longer than I'm able to at many other hotels, which again goes to show for the good location. The room rates are very reasonable too, ranging between £63.75 and £85 for my stay, obviously, on event days the prices will skyrocket, but you can understand why. I did not manage to try breakfast during my stay, as I wanted to sleep for a little longer, but my friend commented "This is one of the few hotels currently offering a full buffet right now", and they did enjoy their breakfast. I do wish they continued it a little longer, during the week the breakfast ends at 10 am. The facilities in the room also were good, the TV was large, had a decent number of channels including Sky Sports, I was able to get a solid 5G connection in my room, reaching 100 mbp/s+, and I really liked the desk too. 5* - This hotel delivers luxury at an affordable price, it is a dream come true for a cricket fan and I am struggling to name any major issues or anything to warrant removing a star. I do look forward to returning and hope this hotel is used as a statement for how Hilton Garden Inn's should be. The extension to this hotel planned, which will add 100 rooms, will likely make the experience even better.

Oh my goodness! One of the most luxurious Hilton's I have stayed at, and if you are lucky enough to…read moreget a view of the match grounds, then it's an amazing and awesome experience!! We only stayed for one night, as my dad had an early morning flight from Manchester to Orlando, and we didn't fancy making a 2hr dash in the morning from the midlands! The food was okay - the ham and sausages were meh but I asked for poached eggs, which were just beautifully right. Lots of great teas and very attentive service from all staff we encountered. Make sure you get a validated parking ticket from reception before leaving, as the boom gates weren't open otherwise. All together it was a great stay and I'd def book this hotel again when/ if my travels take me Manchester way! Yelp 22/ 2019

This is like the Bate's Motel! Stayed here for one night and to be honest even that was too long…read more We entered through the broken front door and were led into a very dark almost medieval lounge area complete with suit of armour. Our host was, well, strange to say the least, not very welcoming and relcutant to give us any information. He could barely tell us how to get to our room, although he did inform us that there would not be a tv in our room due to it getting broken somehow. Don't expect much for your money! We had a sink, a broken chair, some weird wardrobe type thing and a wall light that had blown, there are holes in the wall, bunged up with tissue paper, the wallpaper had been touched up with paint that isn't even the same colour and the carpet was stained with goodness knows what! We were lucky to have a towel which was the size of a face cloth but it was like a piece of cardboard so needless to say wasn't used! I don't know if any of the other rooms are 'en suite' but ours wasn't and the toilet on our floor was so tiny that you could barely get in the room to use it (oh and there was no hand basin to wash your hands, that was on another floor!) I was told and it was stated in the room that no cooked food was served on a Sunday yet when we went down to check out there were other guests tucking into breakfast. But by the state of the room I dread to think about what the food would be like. For those of you who are getting married, this place does weddings and has a bridal suite, but I wouldn't recommend it unless you want a divorce! We thought staying here would be ok as it was close to the cricket ground (which is where we needed to be and the only good thing about this place!) but PLEASE don't stay here, it really is not worth wasting your money and besides you might not even survive the night! This place seriously needs knocking down! PS. And before anyone bothers to make a comment about getting what you pay for (£20 pppn), cleanliness shouldn't cost anything and neither should furniture that isn't broken.

The Greatstone Hotel is situated in a fantastic location. 10 minutes from Old Trafford and…read moreManchester City Centre makes this hotel very convienient. Also, next door is a pub and a fantastic bar in the cellar of the hotel. It has many events such as soul nights and a match day bbq. The parking is also brilliant as there is more than an aker of land. First impressions walking into the hotel don't grab you, however as you walk into the lounge, a large HD TV with sky does appeal. The open planned lounge is a fantastic place to sit. The bar downstairs is presented by a narrow staircase that seems very cosy. If your a fan of Manchester United, you will definately want to visit the bar as there is a Man Utd memoriblia including pictures, autographs and many more on display. The kitchen is also well kept, however breakfast isn't included. After being greeted by friendly staff, you make your way to your room. The room that i was accomidated in was newly refurbished (like many rooms). The bed was comfy, the flatscreen TV was fantastic and towels were supplied. There was a sink with handwash and a good sized wardrobe. The room was not ensuite, however the toilets were clean. The best part is.... this was only £20 per night!!!! Amazing bargain for money and would reccommend to families as well.

Free wifi.Two minutes walk from Salford Quays metrolink or ten minutes walk from Media City Metrolink (you can jump on a tram and be in Manchester city centre in a matter of minutes). Pretty much on the doorstep are The Lowry Theatre and Gallery, BBC Studio Tours(brill!), Imperial War Museum, shopping outlet, bars, restaurants, watersports and (drum roll) the Blue Peter Garden! Ideal hotel if you're bringing a car and don't want to negotiate driving in the city centre or paying a fortune for parking. Parking up and staying on the outskirts of Manchester, a city very well served by public transport, is the answer. Metrolink is brilliant and and an-all weekend tram ticket from 6pm on Friday is just £5.80. Win win win!

We took a taxi here from Manchester Picadilly and it took around 10 minutes. We got a 2 twin room and it was spacious, the washroom was big. They provided real hand soap which is a nice touch along with shampoo and body soap. The air conditioning was working well and was super cold when we first stepped in. Service was great, no complaints. There is free parking for the drivers as well. Salford Quays is a really lovely area as well.

It was my adult son's birthday and their celebration package in the room when we arrived was amazing ! The rooms with view of stadium were very cool ! We had 2 family rooms ... 3 adults stayed in one and easily could have had another person ! The front desk gals went ABOVE AND BEYOND !!! Georgia and Lauren were both so very very helpful ! I had even called previous to our arrival to confirm details ! If you like Manchester United or Soccer/Football it's a must - it is not close to downtown but the experience is so worth it ! The only downfall was the food in the restaurant - breakfast was fine but the dinner we had there was not great and the staff were very inattentive ... Make sure to go to the rooftop floor H ... if not in use you can play some fun indoor soccer - it's a small field !!! We also went up their pre match - and down to the bottom floor after the game for the festivities ...over all can't wait to return for another match !

Had to stay in a room that hovered around a cosy 30-31 degrees Celsius day and night. The thermostat reading is from 3:30 am. The windows only open a sliver ( i suspect because they don't want anyone jumping when the guests' brains finally liquefy from being stuck in a brick oven and they seek to actually escape the hell in which they now find themselves). On the bright side, the staff are very kind and apologetic -- they should be commended for fielding what I'm sure are a ceaseless barrage of complaints only ending once the guests succumb to heat stroke. So, in summary, stay here if you wish to fulfill a fantasy of knowing what a slow broiled potato must feel like.
