    Average, too expensive for what you get

    It’s old, dirty, mattress was stained, just grubby, which is fine if the prices reflects this. Far too expensive for its current state. Also, if you want to drop your bag off before check in, it costs £10 pounds.

    Good location. That’s it really.

    Minor stuff. The reception was a little smelly ( not the room, though). Tea making facilities were welcomed but could do with some kind of implement to stir. TV in our room (210) had no picture, just sound.

    Basic but clean and tidy. No frills at all, but it was only a room for one night, and it fulfilled that requirement. It appeared clean and tidy, and at no time were we cringing.

    Beds were very hard and uncomfortable. Little to no soundproofing from neighbouring rooms. Unusual room layout. I chose this location for a specific reason (to visit family nearby) but would not recommend this area for tourists or if you are staying alone.

    Staff were helpful and friendly. Free parking available outside. Fairly close to the city centre with rail and bus services nearby.

    Great and friendly staff, but the place was not very clean, hairs on the bed. I’d like to say you get what you pay for but it could be a bit cheaper with how run down it is.

    Ground floor room next to the main door. Smokers outside could be smelt in our room.

    Location and free parking. Comfortable beds and lots of hot water in the shower. 2 electric heaters to warm the room where very good. Bus stops and train station to get out and about to other areas is just a 2 minute walk away. Area around the hotel and car park was well lit at night, we felt safe.

    The hotel left much to be desired. Cleanliness was subpar, and the room was freezing on arrival with the heater turned off. The property itself is outdated, desperately needing renovation, and the furniture was noticeably worn and tired. Given these conditions, this hotel should definitely be priced lower.

    The staff were really helpful and were keen to make our stay go well. Some of the fixtures & fittings need some attention. The shower door did not close properly & some of the sockets didn't work. The room was comfortable, the beds were well situated, as was the television.

    No chair provided when asked for one, the bathroom door was dodgey and locked itself from inside so had to go to McDonalds at 6am to use their toilet facilities and it took 5 hours for someone to look at the lock. There was a very noisy person near our room making a lot of noise from 6am onwards but I was awake revising then and just ignored the noise, but had to mention to reception as the noise continued for awhile.

    Near to Salford university

    Basic and cramped room. A sense of dampness with patches of milldew. TV required Netflix membership to log on. Parking carried additional cost of £6.50/night.

    Faded glory, basic comfort, attractive price for city location. Breakfast at adjacent McDonalds.

    There was a weird smell in the room, lock on the door was broken. Main entrancee was also broken and anyone anytime can get in. Everyday front of the property was a homeless person under the influence and we were little bit scared.

    Everything was good for that money. Big plus was the heater in the room.

    It's basic enough and I'm not exactly certain that it's in the best area. You'd encounter a few unsavoury characters outside the premises.

    Very near the train station so easy access to move around Manchester.

    My room had a window that looked directly into the main lobby. Parking was advertised as free but now needs you to pay. Its something like £10 for 24 hours. I paid £6.50 for the night. (13/10/24) Wasn't the cleanest place some stains on the mirror but overall was clean enough.

    Nice Low Price, room was satisfactory for the price. Good location near Salford University.
