The 30 Best Leisure holidays in Manchester

“I'm living here and to be honest, I hope continue here for long time.”

“Lovely friendly staff. Daughters swimming teacher Fran is awsome with her encouraging and engaging and pushes her when needed. Only issue is with the selfish people who leave their belongings in the cubicles rather than using the lockers of which is there plenty my daughter is a teenager and body aware so prefers to be in a cubicle rather than the shared changing room area.”

“Didn't stayed for the night, just had dinner. Perfect for trying Italian food, I don't remember the last time I ate a real risotto. Delicious and cheap.”

“An absolute godsend for us - stumbled across this gem somehow and booked for the end of day one of Pennine Way. Good communication prior re leaving car there - and organising lift that offered from the end of the walk back to the accomodation. One of the nicest welcomes you could ever get - and great value too! Lovely area too (photo taken of view out of bedroom window to the back) Rooms spot on for our needs - and even better just 2 mins walk to a pub (had stopped serving meals by 8pm but allowed us to do deliveroo to there so we sat and drank beer and ate pizza & kebab in the beer garden!) A cracking breakfast the next day - fresh fruit, cereals, full english, toast, homemade marmalade, juice/tea/coffee and a lovely chat with the amazing host Sheila who showed us the visitors book going back to 1976. That says it all - no one lasts that long doing anything, unless they have got it right! Highly recommend.”

“The most friendliest staff in wilmslow! Always make a fuss and make you feel welcome I work across the road and it’s such a pleasure to shop in there! I’m obsessed with the leggings! Best ones ever”

“10/10 - The Stay Inn Manchester is everything you want from a budget hotel, but much, much more. Right on the doorstep of the City Centre, and very affordable. Where this ‘Budget’ Hotel differs from others in the field, is that this one is supremely well run, with an array of truly fantastic staff, for who, nothing is too much trouble. We stayed for two weeks during a difficult house move, and The Stay Inn Manchester bent over backwards to accommodate us, and help us during this very busy time. Friendly - Clean - Fantastic. I can thoroughly recommend this Hotel to you.”

“Fantastic Disney Florida holiday organised and packaged with knowledge and care. You can tell this guy has been to Disney lots he knows his stuff. It's nice to have a new name in Leigh, Lancs to book holidays. Thanks Daniel”

“Excellent pilgrimage to Lourdes with Northern Star. I've travelled a few times with them now and they're always good experiences. Well organised, nice hotels/food and friendly/knowledgeable couriers. Would travel with them again.”

“Fourth time staying here. Three times this year. Staff all amazing. Helpful, friendly, and make us feel like valued guests. Rooms comfortable and clean. Beds superb. It is noisy outside, but hey, we are in the middle of a city! In the centre of manchester. Breakfast well worth it. High quality bacon and sausage. staff all seem to muck in together, helping with all that needs to be done. As two older ladies travelling together, we feel safe, welcome and have already booked to come back.”

“Nice and friendly place for tickets”

“The first plus is the service. Everyone we encountered was super helpful, polite and generous with their time!! The room we had was spacious, clean and very comfortable! We slept very well! The neighborhood is very nice. Avenues lined with mature trees and attractive houses. 15 minutes to airport without extra traffic. 7 minutes by car, into adorable town with great and varied restaurant options! Oh, and affordable for this retired couple.”

“Brilliant service, friendly drivers, clean cars. Used s+d for airport service and they were fantastic, our first time abroad and first time we used them. Recommend by friends and family, they didn't disappoint. Will definitely be using them again. Thanks guys.”

“Clean and welcoming. Excellent breakfast and great owner”

“I stayed at the Imperial Salford Hotel for three days and overall had a very good experience. The room was comfortable, and the location made it easy to get around. The service was generally good, and the staff were friendly without being over the top. A special thanks goes to T, who made a noticeable difference with their friendliness and helpful attitude. It was truly appreciated and made the stay a bit better. All in all, a place I’m happy to recommend and would consider visiting again.”

“well, I saw many bad reviews, but in fact it was much more better than people say. I stayed there for one night only, just to have some rest after the concert. so from my experience I can highlight: - service: the owner contacted me to solve one problem with the booked room before my check-in, then met me downstairs and lead to my room. he was quite friendly and polite. when I asked if they have any hair conditioner (shampoo and shower gel were present in bathroom), he tried his best to manage one for me. after all I didn't feel lost and ignored. - rooms: first of all it didn't smell like weeds, sex, alcohol and other things people have mentioned in other reviews. room 8, a small one, but still enough to stay for a night. fresh bedsheets without stains, tv, air conditioning, hair dryer, clean towels in sufficient amount, clean bathroom with hot and cold tap water. I work myself in housekeeping at the hotel, so I really mean it: it was absolutely acceptable. there was one thing to solve, but once I've mentioned it, the owner offered to solve this problem immediately. so honestly, I really enjoyed my staying over there. I definitely got an opportunity to take a shower, make some tea/coffee and just rest at night after the gig. - location: well yeah, it's quite far away from the city centre, but it's obvious for this price! if you want to live right next to Victoria station, you should be able to afford it. this hotel was absolutely nice for its price and using some public transport wasn't a big problem for me, just took some time. in general I find the hotel really nice for its price. maybe I was just lucky compared to other reviewers, I don't know :)”

“Literally the best priced hotel around. I dont know why anyone mentions the decor. The photos are accurate, don't book a room if you dont like what you see. The rooms are clean, spacious, and have some lovely extra touches. Incredible value. Thank you!”

“All so helpful becky the manger is great”

“Back in Manchester on a follow up business plan with two friends,we decided to stay again in one of the apartments here for two days. This time we went for one on the first floor called sapphire,view on the square,nice and clean as the one had last time. Nice and kind staffs at the front reception,i will definitely recommend this place to anyone looking a nice “all in,fell like home” short stay apartment in central Manchester. Rob”
