Hotels near Mauldeth Road, Manchester

We only paid £42 for our room as we wanted to be close to the airport …. Used Twilight check in so checked our cases in today and fly in the morning. Room absolutely fine, bar area nice, prices bloody great for a hotel in Manchester especially if you get here for happy hour between 5pm and 7pm … I think it’s Sunday to Thurs. The reason I am writing this review is because of a friendly, very helpful black chap named Michael, he’s awesome! I offered to buy him a drink as we were leaving as I had no cash … he said he couldn’t …. I was gutted, he deserved it!!

We stayed here 1 night after flying into Manchester airport late. The GPS took us to the hotel, but we could not find out how to get into the hotel. So frustrating. There is a taxi rank outside which serves the railway station opposite, and the hotel. No where to pull up and offload luggage. No hotel parking either. At 11:00 pm, after an international flight, this was the last thing we needed. Finally, we learned we had to park in the multi-story parking lot, and drag our luggage across to the hotel. Once we were in the hotel, we were greeted by friendly staff. Our room was lovely, and bed comfortable. Breakfast was good. I have food sensitivity issues, and the manager at breakfast was very helpful in guiding me as to what I could and couldn't eat. Food was good. Nice experience despite initial confusion.

Friendly service and staff would recommend this place to everyone

My husband and I came to the hotel on Friday 7/10/2022 room 1216 I honestly couldn't say anything negative about this hotel . The moment we walked in Georgia and neelam on reception greeted us warmly and explained everything. Once we settled in we came back to the bar to enjoy the amazing range of cocktails made by Gabriel :) the bar staff were all amazing from the manager phoebe to Pablo and andree they couldn't do more to make you feel welcome . Our room did have a view of the construction but we expected that as we are in the middle of Manchester and it was not a problem at all . The breakfast was beautiful unfortunately I didn't get the gentleman's name who was clearing the tables but he was so nice lastly I would like to give mo from housekeeping a massive shout out our room was spotless and he even gave me a kit kat 😀 what stands out about this hotel is the staff and I mean all the staff shine they all greet you with smiles and I know how hard that can be for a full shift 😀 can't wait to come back thank you

Had to book an overnight stay near to the o2 Apollo due to crap parking at the location and another annoying stupid set of train strikes. Looked at a few budget hotels nearby and decided to go with the Holiday Inn Express as they had on-site parking, breakfast and other amenities very close by (i.e. MacDonalds etc). IT wasn't the cheapest option, not by a long chalk, but reviews were good and it certainly looked the best of the bunch that were available on that date. So, the hotel itself is conveniently located just off a busy main road directly into Manchester and close to motorways, It's in a pleasant park area and has lots of greenery to hide other buildings, roads etc, so that was nice. Checked in easy enough, you pay £5 per night for parking on arrival which was stated in the booking so no surprise, our ground floor room was very nice, simple and clean. Usual TV, hairdryer, kettle and hot drinks sachets. There was also a fan, which was handy as it was a very warm room despite the heating (wall heater) not being on. We were located at the back of the hotel which was very quiet - not the best view in the world but plenty greenery so not too bad (we didn't go there for the view!). The bathroom was small but functional and most importantly, clean! The shower was strong and hot with body soap and shampoo provided. The beds (we had a twin) were soft and comfortable - two pillows (just right for me) and blackout curtains made for a very pleasant nights' sleep. Breakfast, served 7.30am - 10am) was again, simple yet enough for anyone. Cereals, danishes, bread, jams, fruit etc and bacon, sausage, scrambled egg and beans for a hot breakfast with plenty drinks on offer, coffee, juices etc. Had better scramble eggs tbh but otherwise a very good effort for a budget hotel. So, in summary, this hotel does exactly what it says on the tin - it provides a convenient stop-over at a 'reasonable' price with good clean, comfortable accommodation to suit anyone really. P.S. The staff were very nice and helpful - if you need a taxi, 'In-time' were good and prompt but if later at night you may have more luck with an Uber. I would stay here again should the circumstances arise and can recommend to anyone requiring a hotel in this location.

The location is good, but not user friendly for luggage, i need to take 2 of my luggages (30kg) alone upstarts to the lift to my room. That’s killing me, I dun expect that hard for me, it’s not worth to pay that price. I found we have other better choice among that area.

We booked here for one night. This hotel is literally a 2 minute walk from Manchester Oxford Road train station. Check in was straight forward and fast, getting to your room even quicker. Lifts are near reception so no lugging suitcases etc. Staff were friendly, there’s a bowl of your favourite chocolates on reception, my daughter was allowed to help herself to whatever she liked…that was a nice touch. We booked a room for 4 people, now the room was fairly small, but this is a city centre hotel at a great price. Bathroom was the right size. There is a thermostat near the door, we felt the heating could have been placed in a better location as it took a while to heat the room, the blower was right near the door, so heated that area quickly, but not the rest of the room. Overall the hotel was clean, staff were all friendly and happy to talk if you were…we liked that too. This hotel is used by all type of customers, families, business people, singles and couples. The location is great, you are a 15 minute walk away from the main town centre…with the Arndale Centre. In fairness I think why would you need to walk that far as there’s loads of eateries and shops all around this hotel, enough to keep the day traveller happy. The pictures don’t fully do it justice as we had stayed in the room at the time of me taking them. I loved the view! I would stay here again, the price which is important was the best feature, cheapest hotel by a mile.

Glad to have free WiFi in the hotel and self help coffee at the lobby area, Room rate was slightly too high for asian travelers as compare to the small room size, Suggest adding more hooks and shelves on the walls, may add a big curtain between the bathroom zone and bed zone to increase privacy, Staff not very familiar with the nearby environment such as supermarket or 24 hrs convenient stores, maps for guests at their reception desk may be considered

What you could expect from Doubletree, reception is lovely and helpful in helping us to keep our luggage. Gym is fit for purpose and equipment is new. Room is refurbished recently and looks new. Overall a very good staying experience.

When we got to the hotel they couldn't find our booking and said it had been cancelled, they sorted it out straight away though, upgraded our room for free and got housekeeping to come and split the beds for us within 5 mins of us getting to our room, due to the misunderstanding. We tried the restaurant for food and it was very disappointing. The chicken was bland and watery, the fries were way oversalted and the pasta was OK, but the veggies just weren't tasty, so disappointed. The breakfast though more than made up for it though, there was a great selection and if you wanted scrambled eggs or something special they made it for you.
