We were staying at the Bowden hotel the night before a (very) early flight and it did exactly what…read morewe needed, especially as we got a stellar deal of room for 2, parking for the duration of our trip and taxi transfers to and from the airport for only £75 (we booked through holiday extras if you're looking for the same deal). It's located outside Manchester but about a 10 minute drive off the M6 and only about 10 minutes drive to the airport so if you're looking for a convenient hotel that's a fraction of the price of the ones on the terminal then this is a great call. The rooms were clean and comfortable enough, maybe a touch dated, although ours was like an oven when we walked in but this was quickly rectified by cracking open a window and turning off the radiator. The major plus point for me was complete usage of the spa facilities which include a pool, jacuzzi, steam room and sauna - the perfect way to unwind before a flight the next day! The bar is a touch on the pricey side, but it is a hotel bar so no surprises there. I'd definitely stay here again if I was flying from Manchester.

If you're ever in Liverpool and you need a place to rest your head, I recommend this charming…read morelittle place. Located on Hope Street this little hotel offers a handsome interior décor. The staff was friendly and helpful. The rooms, though small, were classily done in basic white and wood with exposed brick. Loved the simplicity of the place. The bathrooms had heated towel racks and mirrors (never have to worry about steaming them up). The down side: I think our room was recently painted, as you could still smell the fumes. Also, as like many hotels, it was a bit loud. You could hear people walking down the hall and the band playing downstairs. You could also smell the kitchen - as they have a wonderful restaurant attached to the hotel. Maybe ask for something other than the first floor.

We stayed here twice the past year when we went to watch a Liverpool game. It was fine the first…read moretime we stayed. The hotel rooms definitely need an update. Everything is worn and old. Bathrooms are tired looking. Little things like taps for the faucet is located in a weird location that makes it inconvenient to turn on and off. The showers are horrible because there is no door so the water splatters everywhere in the bathroom. It wasn't well designed and needs a total remodel. However, the reason I give it one star isn't the old fixtures and design. It is the horrible service in the restaurant. We went there twice to sit in the bar area to get some snacks and drinks. Both times, no one approached us until I got up to ask how we place an order. There was enough staff but were ignoring us. The second time, I was sitting by myself and no one approached me to take an order although one of the server spent almost 10 minutes chatting with one of the patrons. Clearly she had all the time in the world. I patiently waited staring at all the staff trying to get their attention but they just walked by without even glancing at me. My husband finally joined me and sat down. As soon as he sat down, a server came to take our order. I realized they were ignoring me because I'm Asian and he is white. The staff here is very racist. I wouldn't recommend coming here unless you're a racist and you're okay with this behavior. We are never coming back here.

This hotel was definitely not bad, though it is fairly typical of the Ibis brand. I do have to say…read morethat the rooms were a decent size, which was definitely quite a welcome from the broom closet sized rooms that you tend to find in London. I appreciated the desk that looked out the window over the city centre, though I wasn't that high up. However, there was a railway line that passed nearby which I certainly appreciated. Yeah, this hotel was pretty good, and the staff were quite friendly and approachable. While they did have a bar, the beer options were quite limited, and not really all that appealing.

I have lived next to the Ibis Hotel on Charles Street for nearly a year, and have only ever entered…read moreit once. My parents booked into it for a long weekend before Christmas, and had a room on the 3rd floor, so I went in to have a nosey about. The rooms are very well appointed for the price, and are like a very upmarket Travelodge. The provisions are basic, but all the necessary items are provided for. You get your free beverage tray etc. The bathrooms are like pods in the bedrooms, although are much larger than student bathrooms, just pod-shaped. The rooms were impeccably clean, and my parents were more than happy to use the hotel as a resting place. The hotel also has a small café/bar in the ground floor foyer, which, when the hotel is busy, is a fairly perky place to stop for a drink. Breakfast is served here (continental breakfast at an extra charge) as are hot beverages and snacks throughout the day. No one eats here in the evening considering the hotel is built on top of East Z East, but that is no hardship. The hotel's rooms have views over the city rooftops once you get to about the 3rd floor, so the rooms are light and don't feel hugely claustrophobic. If you are looking for a good budget hotel to stay in in Manchester, then look no further!

I have not spent a night here (although I wouldn't mind doing), I just came in the morning to take…read moreadvantage of their breakfast and I am glad I did so. £8.75 for an all you can eat breakfast. At first I thought we should be going to weatherspoons as its much much cheaper but after being persuaded I never looked back. You have your choice of juice (Apple, orange, cranberry) coffee, tea and 5 or 6 different herbal teas and water. You can either enjoy a delicious plate of hot food with all your standard full English ingredients, all hot, mostly fresh or tuck into a lighter, cold option of fruit, cereal or pastries, however I think the pastries are included in a different, cheaper package. You can go back as many times as you like for more food and there's a toast machine where you make your own toast and enjoy with butter or a selection of different jams and marmalade. The seating area is very bright and very clean. The staff were really friendly and helpful and you didn't get too much attention that it became annoying. The atmosphere was quite loud on my visit but it was a Saturday morning and all the youngsters were looking hungover and regretful. You can walk in here anytime to get a table however it may not be guaranteed as the customers of the hotel would come first I presume. Only issue; I didn't get any mushrooms as they were being prepared in the kitchen as I got my food and by the time they were ready, I was full. But very satisfied. Would definitely recommend breakfast at this hotel, weather your staying here or not. Excellent.

We stayed overnight here after going to a wedding. The front of house decor and furnishings are…read moremodern and well designed, the room on the other hand was extremely dated and was well overdue a face lift - a surprise when we saw it was part of the Macdonald chain. We were given quite a dark room with the hotel's kitchen extractor fan right outside our window causing a constant drone. Certainly not a place to stay for light sleepers as the walls are paper thin. All of this being said, it was a well priced room and fulfilled its purpose of a comfy bed to sleep off the wedding drinks!

A very typical Travelodge! Clean without being too fancy with the usual basic facilities (ie a bed,…read morebathroom and kettle). The lady on reception was nice and friendly and it's within reasonable walking distance of Warrington town centre (although we then struggled to find anywhere decent to have some food) One problem is that you have to pay to park in the Travelodge car park, which seems to be a bit much to me! If you are lucky though you might get a space on the road outside the Travelodge and not have to pay! Fine if you are just looking for somewhere cheap to stay the night and not much else!

It really stands out on the seafront. We popped into the bar for drinks. The inside was nice but wasn't quite as stylish as I'd expected. I liked the big windows and round bar. Apparently they used to do cocktails but have replaced them with grand gins. Grand gins are popular at the moment and they suit the name but it seems a shame to completely get rid of cocktails. There was a good variety of gin available in the Spanish style, in a large glass with lots of ice and suitable garnishes. Mine was lovely and cost around £8.

They did have a little fridge in the room with drinks, chocolate bars and nuts etc. but remember to read the price list before you are tempted to eat any as it was about £1.50 for a mars bar and £2,.50 for a pack of biscuits. They have some lovely function rooms, we have been to a wedding reception here and it was fantastic, although the drinks were a little expensive. The views from the hotel window looking out across the sea were lovely and the we had a peaceful nights sleep with no noise from other guests Would definately stay there again

Radisson Blu Edwardian Manchester is one of the few luxury "five-star hotels" in Manchester…read more Located on Peter Street, just off Deansgate in Manchester city centre this stunning hotel, opened in 2006 is somewhere I've wanted to visit for a while. In the past, it has even been home to footballers including Benjamin Mendy, Leroy Sane and Zlatan, it is also a regular haunt for away football teams including PSG who stayed here ahead of their game versus United, I even managed to see Kylian Mbappe in the lift! Considering this is a "five-star" hotel, it does sometimes have good, affordable deals, I paid £100 for my room on a Sunday in early February, with breakfast costing just £12.50 more for two people, but rooms do often go much higher often costing between £126 and £200, and sometimes going much higher than that so the hotel is generally on the pricey side most of the time. I still don't understand why third-party booking agents are so much cheaper even by 20%+ in some cases, which was the reason I booked my reservation through Hotels.com Check out is far too early at 11, but they had no problem extending it to a more suitable time. Upon arrival at the hotel, I was greeted by a lovely employee who helped me into check-in and then shown me my room, kind and helpful, making sure I had everything I needed, including lowering the card hold from £100 to £1.50 because I didn't plan on any extras. The service in most cases was impeccable, one of the maids even offered to turn the bed over after emptying my minibar. The hotel lobby is also stunning, I was offered water on check-in which was infused with mint and lemon and tasted great. There was also two bottles of complimentary water in my room including fresh fruit accompanied by a personalised, hand-written welcome note, a lovely touch. Sadly they could only place me on the second floor, however, the room seemed to be mostly quiet as there were multiple doors between the lift, there was standard corridor noise but this wasn't as bad as other hotels, every door and lift in the hotel did require the room key - inconvenient but a safety feature. This hotel is stunning and modern, with large smart TVs including all Sky Sports channels (best TV in a hotel!), USB and European charging plugs. (I would have liked one closer to the bed!) The room also has a nice glass desk which is a perfect, spacious work area. Other modern features include a switch to open and close the blinds in the room, as well as a "do not disturb" switch rather than the sign which is used in 99% of hotels. I also liked how the hotel relied less on natural light which many modern hotels do now, hence having lights around the room including above each individual bed which can be turned on/off in parallel, making the room much brighter & nicer. I found my room to be warm and spacious, the heating system was easy to use and much quicker than other hotels I've stayed in again. The large bathroom with a stunning walk-in shower also was excellent. Information provided to guests from the excellent staff at reception and even through the live-chat system either with a senior hotel staff member or Edward, the virtual assistant which can answer most problems instantly which all hotel guests get. If the issue is too complex for Edward, the hotel gets back to you quite quickly such as when I had an issue with the fire drill - I was phoned in under an hour to confirm it is generally around 2 pm on a Monday. The hotel operator when needed, answered the phone quickly even at busy times. My room was almost perfect with a great TV and a comfy bed. I would have liked: having a pen instead of a pencil, earl grey tea in addition to English Breakfast & Chamomile and a larger bed. (I was given a room with two twin beds.) The tea however from the high-end Newby brand was fantastically luxurious. The wi-fi was super fast, with download speeds of around 90 Mbps, it is by far the fastest wifi I've experienced in a hotel. A decent breakfast is served in the Peter Street Kitchen between 7 and 10:30 Monday-Saturday (+1/2 an hour for Sundays & bank holidays). I added it at a reduced rate of £6.25 from £20. (see https://www.yelp.co.uk/biz/peter-street-kitchen-manchester) Overall with a comfy bed, I did have a decent sleep but struggled down to the size of the bed and slight corridor noises. I was told it wouldn't be possible to put an extra bed into a double room - therefore I was offered an upgrade for my next visit to the hotel later that week to the stunning Junior Suite. It was simply spectacular with a huge, comfy bed, an even bigger TV, coffee machine, a personalised housekeeper & more. In over 2100 reviews and close to 50 hotel reviews, I've never seen a hotel like this - luxurious, fantastic and with my only complaint is there's nothing to complain about, so with great delight, I am awarding the Edwardian a coveted five-star rating with the only main improvement being to keep working at this standard.
