Holiday Inn Express Manchester Airport, an IHG Hotel

I stayed here for one night as a lay-over, as I had a flight quite early the next morning. A taxi to/from the Manchester Airport to this hotel only cost me £10 each way, and it takes taxis less than 10 minutes to get there. On that front it is ideally located. There is a lounge/bar on the ground floor of the hotel which was very busy but with a pleasant atmosphere. I was on the top-floor of the hotel so I did not experience any noise from the bar or people outside. The staff on reception were incredibly friendly, offered me breakfast in the morning, and arranged for a taxi to be waiting outside for me when I checked-out. My room was large with 1-double bed, a TV, and bathroom with shower. The bed was very comfortable and the entire room was very well kept. Overall I was satisfied.

The location was ideal for what we had planned. Our room was very reasonably priced and was very clean and a decent size. Our bed was very comfortable and towels, soap/shampoo and coffee were all provided. Staff were all great. Had a lovely cold pint of Stella from the hotel bar when we got back after dinner in town, which cost £5.50 which I think is decent. Breakfast was a selection of cold or hot buffet food, so we were well fed for the 250 mile journey ahead.

A comfortable, very clean, good value hotel at the airport. Reasonable bar and restaurant and a good buffet breakfast. Pleasant staff.

The level of cleanliness was excellent and the whole property seemed smart and well maintained. Although very busy it did not seem crowded or too noisy and even the very busy breakfast service was well managed and delivered. We had booked a disabled access room and were very impressed with the space and adaptations in the bathroom... including (hallelujah) a slip mat in the shower.

We were happy to find this hotel because: - we needed a place to stay overnight close to Mancester Airport (our flight was early in the morning); - the price was affordable; - the price and quality ratio is really good; - the hotel is 20-25 minutes on foot from the Airport Terminal 2 and we don't mind to walk :) - the room was very quiet and clean; - the bed was comfortable; - the bar was great with a selection of simple but tasty dishes and snacks. There is a good restaurant too! - we were leaving the hotel at 4:00 AM, but there was a possobility to have a "fast" breakfast with coffee, tea, juice, pastry and fruits. - the staff was friendly and helpful.
