Motel in Manchester

“It is a 2-star hotel with shared toilet and it did the job perfectly! Don't imagine it as a 5-star hotel. The room, hard floor, bed sheet and towel are reasonably fresh and clean. Perfectly warm with a radiator and an extra heater. Not super comfy but warm duvet. The staff Dan was warm and nice, even arranging a better room for me. There was also a microwave. I stayed on a Monday night which I think it wasn't full. The bathrooms were clean, dry and bright without any damp smell. It was perfect for me to just spend the night for a few hours. Will definitely stay here again with this budget! The only problem might probably be the sound-proofing. Bring a pair of ear plugs if you are not a deep sleeper.”

“Absolutely brilliant. If you are flying from Manchatten airport port. It's less expensive than booking the airport parking. Only slight downside. For a 6 am flight the shuttle bus doesn't run until 3:00 am. Even then veezu is around 20 quid.”

“I can't understand why this stunning hotel has only 3 stars! I was completely enchanted, just standing in front of this very old building with its wealth of ornate detailing and its very interesting history. I was blown away by the enormous chandelier in the lobby and highly ornate and unusual stairs and stair bridges. You can learn about the history in various places throughout the hotel. I had a good look around and was captivated! I was fortunate enough to see it in its full Christmas glory aswell. Fitting that the Nutcracker soldiers guard the stairs. The hotel was very, very clean, very atmospheric (!). Very warm and inviting. My room had everything I needed and the bar was very relaxed and lovely, unusual with its interesting features and spacious like the rest of the hotel. The staff are helpful and polite. Check in and out was easy. What more could you need? I would definitely recommend and would absolutely stay there again.”

“Booked a room for the Halloween weekend, had a wonderful experience, was greeted very politely by the receptionist who made me feel very welcomed, after reading the reviews I wasn’t really looking forward to my stay however on arrival I was shocked at how good of a level of service I received and how clean and tidy the rooms were, it was like I was walking into a brand new hotel. I was told by new staff members that the hotel is under new management hence the change in standards. I was very pleased with my stay and would recommend all my friend and family to also stay at this hotel when visiting Manchester as it’s one of the nicest budget hotels I’ve ever stayed at.”

“Absolutely wonderful suite, brilliantly placed for travelling to local sites of interest. Hosts are attentive and offered brilliant advice on what was worth going to look at, couldn't have asked for more”

“We had a wonderful stay at Dakota Hotel Manchester and it truly felt like a pure luxury experience from start to finish. The decor throughout the hotel is absolutely stunning, elegant, modern, and beautifully finished, giving the whole place a calm and sophisticated atmosphere. The staff were exceptional, warm, welcoming, and genuinely pleasant, always happy to help and making us feel valued as guests. Our room was amazing, spacious, spotless, and tastefully decorated with high quality finishes that made it feel both stylish and incredibly comfortable. The food and drinks were outstanding. Everything we tried was full of flavour, beautifully presented, and clearly made with care and attention to detail. The bar area in particular was a lovely place to relax, with an impressive selection of cocktails and a refined ambience. The hotel’s location is another huge plus. It is only about a six minute walk from Manchester Piccadilly Station, which made getting in and out of the city completely effortless. Overall, Dakota Hotel Manchester delivers a true five star experience. Luxurious surroundings, exceptional service, fantastic food, and a perfect central location, we could not have asked for a better stay and would absolutely return.”

“The most incredible place I have ever stayed. The lobby smells absolutely gorgeous, it’s so warm and friendly and the staff are so lovely. The suite was crazy. They had left a “Happy Birthday” card and neon sign above the bed as a lovely little touch. Absolutely worth every single penny. Thank you everyone! Amazing central location”

“I’ve been here twice. It’s quiet, clean and pleasant. The staff is wonderful, always available to assist with kindness. I’ll surely come back again.”

“The best stay we have ever had! Amazing service, the friendliest and most personable staff, our first time in Manchester and we received so many recommendations, so many homely touches and genuinely it has been the best hotel with the best value for money we have ever stayed in”

“Russ was just awesome can't rate him highly enough. He showed us around the entire hotel and gave us all the interesting history. People make the place, on top of the hotel being awesome Russ took it up another level. Wish Russ all the best for the future.”

“Had a lovely stay here, in one of the Shepherds Huts. Fantastic modern, clean well facilitated accommodation. All the staff from arrival, breakfast and departure were extremely pleasant and helpful. 10/10 Strongly recommended.”

“Another fantastic meal. We both had something from the specials board and it was delicious. Very generous portions. The dinning room is lovely and clean, and the background music adds a nice touch. Service spot on as usual. Looking forward to our next visit.”

“We had a lovely two day stay here..rooms were warm and clean with a great view from our window. Good home cooked breakfast. The owner was helpful and friendly Good location for walking, Sett valley trail and peak district area. Would recommend it if you are coming to this area.”

“Nice venue to stay for a local private party. Pub looked very busy but the room was excellent, clean and well maintained. Breakfast good and free overnight parking. A little pricey but enjoyed our stay.”

“My mate and I decided to go for a pub lunch and he suggested Rochdale plus more importantly The Flying Horse. He drove as he rarely drinks and the weather was classic North West rain. However, the pub was warm and welcoming so we sat at a table next to the cosy open fire. While we there the fire was topped up with firewood on a regular basis, by a member of staff. I had a pint of Ossett White Rat beer and my mate had a pint of lemonade. We were served promptly by attentive pleasant staff. As I am a member of CAMRA , I showed my card and the beer price already reasonably price, was further discounted. See the picture of the large selection of hand pull beers and prices. We both decided to have a Lancashire classic: “Rag pudding”with proper chips, mushy peas and gravy. Normally £8.75 but two meals for £14! Another bargain! I had a second pint of beer, then we had a desert that was generous in size, served by a friendly young woman. On finishing our dinner it was time to go out into cold outside. Used the toilets that were clean as expected. I can thoroughly recommend this pub / restaurant”

“I love this hotel — it's always an experience to stay there! I love the gothic aesthetic, the design of the rooms, and the creative attention to detail in every corner. The atmosphere feels both luxurious and mysterious, and the staff are always welcoming and professional. Every stay feels unique — it’s the perfect blend of comfort, character, and charm. The breakfast in bed was a whole new experience — beautifully presented, delicious, and thoughtfully arranged. From the perfectly brewed coffee to the warm pastries and fresh fruit, everything felt indulgent and elegant. It made the morning feel extra special, like a scene from a classic film. bssss, Batman was there !!”

“Me and my husband stayed here and booked the cinema room to view our wedding photos! WOW a memory I will never forget! Georgia was so helpful for me to plan this surprise and made our stay one to remember! The room was beautiful with music on arrival, the private cinema screening was hosted by Olivia (she is a true gem) made our evening for sure! Very friendly and attentive! Memory I will cherish forever! Followed by a lovely interaction with Gloria as we were checking out! Great hotel, great amenities and overall Great Experience!”

“I recently stayed at the Kimpton Clocktower Hotel and had a wonderful experience. The service throughout my stay was excellent — staff were attentive, friendly, and always happy to help. The rooms were spotless, comfortable, and well maintained, making for a very pleasant stay. What really makes this hotel stand out is its beautiful building and rich history. Housed in a stunning Grade II listed Victorian building, the architecture and design carry a timeless charm. The interiors blend classic character with modern luxury perfectly — the high ceilings, ornate details, and stylish décor keep the historic essence alive while still feeling contemporary and inviting. Overall, it’s a perfect mix of history, comfort, and elegance right in the heart of Manchester. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a memorable stay with a touch of heritage.”

“Really nice hotel - well kept - lots of fun football details everywhere. Location is brilliant if you are a Manchester United fan. On Match Day it is quiet expensive but if you come on other days, you are able to find reasonable prices. We will come again!”

“We thoroughly enjoyed our 1st visit to The Wycliffe Hotel, Stockport this weekend. All the staff are so friendly and welcoming. Our room was spotlessly clean and a very good size. The bed was very comfortable. We ate evening meal at the restaurant Excellent Italian food. A very good choice of dishes. Breakfast also excellent. Good choices. Cooked to order. Deliciously hot. We will definitely stay here again. We can highly recommend this hotel.”

“Our recent stay at The Lowry was one of the best hotel experiences we’ve ever had. From the moment we arrived, the reception team were warm, friendly and nothing was too much trouble. The room was spotless, spacious and beautifully put together with thoughtful touches that made it feel really special. It had a real sense of luxury. Breakfast was another highlight, with excellent food, attentive staff and so many options! We can’t wait to visit again in the future! Thank you!”

“A superb spot for a relaxed Sunday lunch, where dogs are very much welcomed. The food offering is to a very high standard, whilst not the lowest prices, the cost reflects the quality of the produce. All the staff I encountered were excellent and appeared to be very enthusiastic about what they are doing. Cleanliness couldn't be faulted in the public areas.”

“Absolutely amazing! So close to the train station which obviously is so nice We stayed in room 6. The room was lovely and clean, excellent variety in tea tray (oat milk option as well!) and still very spacious, especially for a budget option! Couldn’t have been more happy! Manager who gave us the keys was so friendly and nice. All in all amazing stay! Lovely to have the shower in the room as well (came with shampoo, conditioner, and body wash which was all very good quality and smelt vvv nice) Couldn’t have asked for better! Even came with ear plugs but we had no issues with any noise :) thank you so much!”

“Lovely stay here for my father's retirement celebrations happening locally. A nostalgic and luxury stay in an area familiar from my childhood.”

“Lovely food - tasty and fresh. Great French rose wine too. Lovely staff - nothing too much trouble. Definitely be back.”

“We got married at Rylands Farmhouse in May and we couldn’t recommend it enough. From our first viewing of the venue to the morning after our wedding the service provided was second to none. The staff went above and beyond for us at every opportunity and nothing was too much to ask. Our wedding guests were blown away with the venue and the staff. The rooms were beautiful and clean and the breakfast the next day was delicious. Luis was with us from the beginning and throughout our whole wedding day and he was absolutely amazing! He made sure that everything was perfect for us and we can’t thank him enough! We can’t wait to revisit for every anniversary in future! Thank you Rylands x”
