The 30 Best Relax in Salford

“Excellent service Thank you, Faye, for my botox, lips, and Jalupro. You always give me the perfect look for my face and never give me what I don't need. This is why I traveled for one hour to see you. You are the best in the business. Thank you for everything ❤️”

“I’ve been to Rush a couple of times now and have had a really great experience. I have had a cut, colour and blow dry from Jordan, who is really attentive and talks through the cut and colour before applying. Thank you”

“Such a fantastic nail salon! The staff are always so friendly, quick, and do such a wonderful job every time I get my nails done. I’ve never had an acrylic nail lift since going here, they’re just that good! Amazing at designs, isolated chrome, and cat eye too!”

“Excellent haircut with great attention to detail. There's no rush and the price is fantastic for what you receive.”

“I came to the Private Clinic Manchester for surgery as I had read some very good reviews online and done my research and expected good things. And it exceeded my expectations. From the manager Alex who chaperoned and held my hand the whole way through, to the lovely ladies on reception and nursing team. Mr Fattah is like no other surgeon and believe me I have had many consultations. I’m 6 months post op and couldn’t be happier! I’m even thinking of other things to have just so I can go back to the clinic for a catch up and some snacks! The best clinic, thank you for everything!”

“Just got back from an overnight stay with my 8 year old autistic son. My sons special interest is vehicles of any description, I mentioned this when booking the room and asked if we could possibly be overlooking either a road or train station. Our room was perfect, he was blown away, we could see trains, trams, buses cars the whole shabang! The staff were all phenomenal, friendly, helpful, understanding of my son and his needs, nothing has been too much trouble. We enjoyed the pool, had room service and ate at the breakfast buffet. All fantastic. I would recommend this hotel, the staff and location are perfect.”

“YHA Manchester is an example of how a good hostel doesn't have to cost a lot. Large, bright and airy room for four people. The beds were solid, the only thing missing was curtains on the bunk beds for more privacy, but that's a minor detail. The bathroom was a good size, clean and looked new. The common areas are large and beautiful. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The location near a train and tram station is great for a city the size of Manchester. The hostel has a view of part of the river canal, and having breakfast with this view was a bonus. I would definitely stay at this hostel again”

“Been here for movies with my family at Odeon cinema in the afternoon, pretty nice plaza to spend a bit of the day in the sunlight at the open, great vibes with a sand playground for kids to play, offered spacious area for food and drinks at the restaurants/pub nearby”

“The park was absolutely amazing! It helped me forget all my stress and just enjoy the beauty of nature. The serene atmosphere and stunning views of the city made it a perfect place to relax and unwind. A must-visit for anyone looking for peace and natural beauty!"”

“A park near M60 with a few on-street parking bays. The park is clean and so relaxed to walk around. Also, there is a tree trail in the park and you may find birds and squirrels in it.”

“Really friendly and helpful staff, good veggie breakfast and great value for money. Left feeling nice and full ready to start my day! I’ll definitely be going back!”

“So pleased I've discovered the atmosphere bar. Located within the university house this is the university's main SU bar but also well used by Peel Park visitors. The bar is located on the first floor of the building and is easily missed if you don't know it's there. Once inside there are three distinct and different parts of the bar. Firstly the main bar and largest space is like a sports bar with plenty of screens to watch live sporting events. Secondly, there is a games bar with pool tables and retro arcade games and darts. Thirdly there is a mezzanine floor which carries a whole different decor and vibe. Much more intermate and lounge like you can easily find your own space to work or have a private drink. I didn't sample the food but it appeared to be very good value for money. The beer selection was excellent and very well priced. £3.80 for a pint of Guinness and £3.70 for a pint of Madri. The Guinness was excellent too. When I'm next in Peel Park I'll certainly pay a visit to Atmosphere.”

“The staff was welcoming and friendly. A good small menu but completely understand keep things basic and quick service ahead of theatre showing. The food was delicious and cooked perfectly. Full of flavours and well presented. Quick service and reasonably priced.”

“Traditional pub in Salford. 10 mins walk from Old Trafford. A United pub but not overly so. Good place to watch football in general but they have Liverpool on a little too often. Good quality food and crazy value if you get the right deal. Staff are always friendly and helpful, especially Kieran.”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic Experience at Embankment Kitchen Had a great visit to Embankment Kitchen — everything was spot on. The food was excellent, the atmosphere was relaxed, and the service was brilliant throughout. A special shout-out to Nari, who looked after us perfectly. Friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. Would definitely recommend and will be returning!”

“To me, it is one of the best branches of Nero’s in the country. All the baristas here are decent and make tasty coffee and also very friendly. The menu was taken on 13 Apr 2024. Quiet, nice and cozy ambience. There are also four or five tables outside at the front and a couple more tables at the back. There are a few pay-at-machine parking spaces just outside the cafe and also two or three (non-free) parking lots around. (Browncross Street Car park is an expensive place and you might want to use Si P Spaw Street Arches Car park which is much cheaper. However, it is not so obvious where the boundary lies between the two car parks so watch out for it as there seem to be many people who got fined for wrong parking there.)”

“Visited over Patrick’s weekend and really enjoyed liked the relaxed atmosphere. The place had plenty of screens showing the football, which was a nice. They also have Thief Street in the kitchen, the food was fantastic, great portion sizes and tasted delicious. The staff were friendly and welcoming, adding to the overall experience. Drinks are on the pricey side, with a pint of Guinness costing £6.70, but since we’re not big drinkers, we just had one drink each so it didn't affect us too much”

“A fabulous pub friendly and helpful staff, we totally loved it”

“I visited The Oxnoble on a Sunday with a friend who had been before for their Sunday roast. She mentioned the concept had changed a bit, but regardless, the Sunday roast was absolutely delicious! Our waiter, Sean, was super friendly and made the experience even better (he recommended the cauliflower chees and OMG soo good). I would definitely recommend The Oxnoble to anyone visiting Manchester for the weekend!”

“EDIT: just had a phone call this morning from Gina the salon owner, she has apologised and had offered for me to have my hair layered and re shaped at the front by Lauren ( who has so many lovely reviews), however I am going on holiday and wasn’t able to go in. Gina has tho offered for me to go back and have it done after my holidays which is very kind of her. She was lovely to speak to and I appreciate the phone call and the offer of a free hair cut. Thank you so much for calling, I appreciate it. I have given 5 stars for the way Gina has handled the situation and the customer service from her was great x Went it on Saturday 19/07/2025 for a wash, cut and blow. As soon as Gary seen me he just didn’t seem interested. I had extremely long hair and asked for a lot to be cut off with layers in the back and feathered into my face at the front. Gary was huffing and puffing through out my hair cut and kept making remarks about how my hair didn’t need to be that long. He gave me no layers as he thought it would make my hair thinner and the front were long layers that you could hardly see.. I came away feeling disappointed with my cut and £50 down the drain. I didn’t ask him to add any layers or cut my hair as I wanted it, as I just wanted to leave because he was making me feel uncomfortable. Even as he was brushing my hair after it was washed he was huffing all the way through cos it was long. He’s a hairdresser and should expect people to have long hair. Now I need to find someone professional to redo my hair and pay more money for something that should have done by Gary. I will end on a positive note tho, the lady that washed my hair was amazing , really lovely. If Gary could give her my £2 tip that would be amazing . The 2 stars is for the lady that washed my hair.”

“Upon entering the shop, I was immediately struck by its impeccable beauty and neatness. The warm welcome from the staff as I approached the reception desk made me feel truly valued. It was impressive how they promptly recognized my booking made via Instagram and addressed me by name without delay. When I presented the design picture I had in mind, the team effortlessly understood my vision. Even when I struggled with choosing matching colors, their insightful suggestions were incredibly helpful. The patience and attentiveness displayed by the nails therapist were commendable and greatly appreciated. Having experienced various nail shops, I can confidently say that this establishment stands out as the epitome of excellence. My search for the perfect nails shop ends here – I'm delighted to have found a place I can wholeheartedly commit to.”

“Parsonage Gardens located right behind Deansgate is a little green oasis nestled between several large buildings near the River Irwell. It is the location of the former St. Mary's Church, which was built in 1756.”

“The food was very good and not too salty. It was just the perfect taste and the service was really good as well.”

“A great little stop off in Deansgate and time to take a coffee and a cake. Inside and outside sitting areas and lots of room. There are two bathrooms which are clean and multi gender for ease. Soft seating areas inside and tables with tables outside too on a large area if you want to take a smoke or something. Lots of cakes as usual in the shop and always freshly made as is the coffee”

“Great cafeteria that serves both breakfast & lunch with a large selection of foods to suit any tastes. It's is subsidised for local employees of the surrounding businesses so prices are reasonable. Large screen showing the news channel so you can catch up on what's going on around the world while eating. Or you can view the River Orwell on one side & watch the cruise boats passing by.”

“Fantastic lunch here. The food was to die for and the freshly squeezed orange juice was gorgeous. The mozzarella focaccia was so flavourful and the strawberry and vanilla sundae was absolutely next level. Our server, Esin was so lovely and attentive and even surprised me with a piece of passion fruit cheesecake (which tasted incredible) as I’m halfway through my pregnancy and was out shopping with my mum. Will definitely be returning!”

“Really good coffee and fantastic pastries & treats. They also sell some cool artisanal stuff like jams and crisps. Atmosphere is always quiet and relaxed.”

“This Costa is usually and understandably busy but I was very happy to get a table today. I had a lovely cappuccino and a cake. It is a very nice Costa to take a break in and watch the shoppers walk by. The staff were very friendly, they cleared and cleaned my table for me. The cappuccino was delicious and I had a very enjoyable experience. Thanks to all the staff at Costa. Thanks for reading”

“I was in there in the afternoon bar staff are friendly it's a nice pub the only one left in lower Broughton”

“Thank you to jake today wonderful bar man helped me out big time charging my phone so I could buy one of the better pints of Guinness I have had in the area 10 put of 10 to his customer services I will return in the future”
