Holiday Inn Express Manchester - Salford Quays by IHG

This hotel is situated in a lovely area, very close to shops and restaurants. Media city is only down the road as is Manchester United Football ground. Very clean and well presented, the staff are lovely and work very hard and well together.

Rooms spotlessly clean. Bar drinks reasonable prices. Food served 24 hrs which was a lovely and welcome surprise when we returned from our concert very late and very tired. Toasties and pizza were lovely again very reasonable price wise. The young lady on the bar that night was wonderful! She was absolutely rushed off her feet working the bar, check in desk and food alone as she had 1 trainee with her! We were surprised when we went down to breakfast to see her working her socks off again as someone had called in sick! In all honesty she must have been there all night.... yet she was still rushing around and still smiling bless her. Give her a pay rise!

We had to book on the day as our previously booked accommodation fell through that morning, and we were travelling to Manchester for the marathon. We felt lucky to be able to book anything! The hotel is smart and clean (bedrooms and public spaces), the beds were enormous, the shower cubicle big, the water hot! The hotel felt safe, I like that you have to use a key to get up to the bedroom floors. The staff were friendly and helpful; they went out of their way to assign us our two rooms next to each other (which was particularly amazing due to the fact that we only booked on the day!). The hotel was extremely accommodating to marathon runners, they served breakfast earlier than usual and provided carb-rich products. Thank you.

Great stay. Clean, comfortable, perfect location for gig at O2 academy Victoria warehouse, great price. The only downfall was breakfast. The hotel seemed to be fully booked (gig close by + fri night into Saturday morning stay), kitchen were having issues with ovens and guests in front of me piling their plates super high leaving myself and the two people I was with with nothing. Not the hotels fault, but was a disappointment that we didn’t have access to the full breakfast range. We stayed for an hour in the dining room and kept missing all the hot, cooked breakfast due to demand.

Second time to visit and came for my birthday to see a local event , got a nice free drink and snack for my partner and myself for my Birthday upon arrival. Thank you ! Really nice staff and they remembered us from last visit ! I love the atmosphere in the lounge and from the hotel in general, good for lone travellers to have company if wanted. A very warm welcome and very hospitable, nothing is too much trouble , staff are always happy to help. and the personal touches they give for everyone is lovely Room was so comfortable , those beds and duvets are so comfy . Very quiet and no noise from hallway or neighbours . I love the breakfast , so much choice and staff always about to help if needed. The decking area outside is nice and by the water , lots of ducks ,swans, geese just happily plodding about and sitting with a drink watching them is so relaxing . Many water sport actives to watch or join if you like. Beautiful area to have a walk by the waterways , the view here at night is stunning. I look forward to my future stays because I know when I come here I have everything I need with very welcoming staff. See you again soon ! Photos are different views from the hotel premises
