All the staff were just great, so pleasant and so helpful and friendly. We stayed here to go to the Arena and we also stayed in the Holiday Inn Express at Birmingham, and both hotels were immaculate and the staff were brilliant.

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.

6/10 Good

Ok

Good location but not the clean bedding had makeup marks and sickey residues on the sheet
David, 2-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.

Rooms were so nice. Staff were lovely
Alisha, 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

Great

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

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
HIREN, 3-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.

Right near the action of Manchester. A lot to do in walking distance.

Leslie, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Great location close to arena and shopping centre with plenty food and drink options nearby. Hotel pretty tired. In need of an upgrade. Matress not comfortable and only a double not a king. Air conditioning not working in the room and no windows open so very warm trying to get ready. Stains on carpets and mould in bathroom. Was fine for a short stay however probably wouldn’t return based on our experience.
