Manchester hotels near Museum of Science and Industry

Pros: Excellent location for shopping, easy to get to

Cons: Have had larger rooms

Pros: Clean, efficient,good location

Cons: Thought breakfast was a little expensive

Pros: Clean, warm and comfortable - a good base for a couple of days visiting Manchester city centre, and the MEN arena.

Cons: Only concern was that although the water was hot as it came out of the tap, it rapidly cooled in the bath, so a good soak wasn't possible. The shower was excellent. It was very cold whilst we were staying there, but the room was warm enough.

Pros: We booked the Crowne Plaza on the way down to manchester on the booking.com app, was a great price and everthing was just perfect.

Pros: The actual rooms we stayed in were luxurious, as regards decoration comfort and the bathroon was lovely as well.

Cons: The food (breakfasst) was awful!

Pros: the rooms are at a excellent standard and compare favourably with five star

Cons: n/a

Pros: i really enjoyed the bedroom it was very comfartable and i liked the design of the room. it was a good price for the room.

Cons: it was a little pricey for a pint 5.30 for a pint of perroni.

Pros: The staff were very helpful, especially the Irish chap (can't recall his name) who assisted us with our bags on arrival. The room was very clean and the presentation was lovely.

Cons: The side of the wardrobe was broken but other than that everything was perfect.

Pros: Good clean room, good room service at reasonable prices. Nice big comfortable bed.

Cons: Standard room had no bath but was set up for disabled use. Car parking away from the hotel. Long wait at busy times for the lift.

Pros: Clean(always a bonus in my opinion) and modern hotel, would recommend this hotel. Staff friendly and helpful.

Pros: Modern hotel in a brilliant location. Rooms were fantastic and extremely clean.

Pros: The double tree is a nice hotel at first glance. I found the staff at the front desk were not the most welcoming but that wasn't the biggest problem. The room was comfortable for the most part and me and my companion were looking foward to a nice stay.

Cons: The shower had two choices, freeze or burn. It was nearly impossible to get the shower at a normal temperature which was a huge issue. But we were only there for 2 nights so decided it would be better to give it another try than moving rooms. On our second night which was a Saturday we were awoken at 4 am by a group of drunk girls that were screaming down the hallway. I felt like I was transported to the worst spring break all inclusive. I called the reception 3 times and in all fairness they came up every time to get those stupid girls to shut up. Then their guy friends came from the party minutes later and started retaliating to help their skanky girlfriends. They were standing outside of our door yelling obscenities. I called again and eventually the noise stopped but at that point I had one more hour before having to get on a train to the airport so my entire night was ruined. While they were definitely responsive to the times I called they should have kicked these people out. What kind of reputation do you want to have? I know that on my next visit to Manchester staying at the double tree and staying at the hatters is pretty much the same. If you want to maintain an upscale reputation then be more selective about who you let stay in you hotel or at the very least have your front staff make the rules clear when these drunken idiots tumble in through the door of your hotel.

Pros: Close to the trains. Clean. Excellent staff.

Cons: Rooms are tiny. Bathroom is like a cruise ship's.

Pros: Friendly reception staff and great location.

Cons: Food and service in the Dining Room (called City Cafe) is very poor and quite expensive. I booked a late check out for 5 pm and paid £30 for it, from 12 noon housekeeping tried to get into the room 5 times and eventually got security to come up to us. Very stressful and disappointing, it was so much hassle that I left the room early and forgot some of my stuff. I go to Manchester several times a year I will not be booking into this hotel again ( I stayed in this City Inn three times since Mar 2010 the last time in November 2010).

Pros: it was close to all amenities in manchester

Cons: resturant

Pros: Very good breakfast if a little expensive

Cons: Persistance of housekeeping and poor grasp of the english language of same. They kept knocking to service the room when I had said it was fine.

Pros: Close to train station shops bars staff very good.Bar area very pleansent and I would say not over priced

Cons: Stayed for 3 nights but on the Sunday morning room did not get made up but saying this soon as it was pointed out room service was called and room made up

Pros: The check-in staff are always friending and the breakfast is quick.

Cons: The carpets in the room are progressivly getting dirtier with stains, not good! Please have them cleaned, makes me question how clean everything else is.

Pros: Good location, quiet, internet access, rooms had windows (a lot of neighbouring hotels don't!!!!). Staff were efficient and friendly. Room was clean. Nice soaps, etc. Recycled loo paper (I think). Would certainly stay here again- much better than the 2 hotels nearby that I have used before.

Cons: No bottle-opener in the room, but bottles in the mini-bar mostly had caps! So you lost a sale there. A few signs at street level would have made it easier to find on foot in the dark- I walked round 2 sides of the building before identifying the entrance.

Pros: closeness to station and city centre, standard of room generally

Cons: had to ask for more loo roll and no ashtray even though it was a smoking room

Pros: helpful, friendly staff, lovely rooms, attention to detail in providing extras such as real hairdryer (not the wall type), ironing board/iron in room, iMac integrated entertainment system/pc

Pros: Bright, spacious; close to train station and city centre.

Pros: Apple iMac in room. Free WiFi connection. Booking staff flexible. Breakfast good quality but (see below).

Cons: Bright modern city centre hotel. Rather characterless. Paying extra for breakfast and even more if you require anything cooked then portions very small. Asked for mushrooms and received a single mushroom.

Pros: City center location. Clean and tidy

Cons: Microwave and locker to be available in rooms

Pros: Check in quick, asked for a quiet room and it was, nice comfy king size bed, room good size

Pros: Location, great and efficient staff.

Cons: A little bit noisy - other guests knocking on the door and generally rowdy.

Pros: Breakfast

Pros: The room was comfortable, the shower amazing and service / breakfast great. We also really enjoyed the pool / sauna after breakfast and found the check in/ check out times really reasonable so we were not rushing. Also we booked a twin room as a double was not available but then when we came to check in we were given the option of a double which was just what we wanted.

Cons: The only negative comment I wqould make would be regarding the size of the pool you definitely cant use it for swimming as exercise as it's way too small!!

Pros: It was very central for the MEN and for shopping and the leisure facilities were brilliant

Pros: Chosen only due to its relative comfort and city position. No redeeming features.

Cons: Charging for room wifi when other hotels include as standard Radiator valve broken meaning room was cold al night

Pros: Excellent location. Breakfast ok.

Cons: Cold, smelly room. Noisy. On the ground floor.

Pros: Nothing

Cons: Poor customer service

Pros: I really didn't like any aspect of this hotel or my stay there.

Cons: No outlets by the bed - I have a CPAP machine and the staff was completely baffled as to how to solve my problem. My traveling companion insisted on an extension cord, which they were eventually able to provide, but this is the first hotel EVER in my experience where there were no outlets by the bed. The beds were sized for children, not adults, and were in dismal shape. The rooms were too small to allow for much movement, I had booked a single room with two beds, and the staff screwed up our reservation and put us in two separate rooms. I'm deaf and depended on my companion to assist me, so this left me in a bad place. Both of our rooms were directly above a nightclub - neither of us could get any sleep until the club closed at 2:30. And I didn't need to hear the music booming up from downstairs - the entire room vibrated. The entire place felt worn out, old, and used. The chairs in the lobby had cracked vinyl, and it felt like a dump. Our stay was ruined because of our lack of sleep, the management only offered a measly 10% discount (we're asking for a full refund from the owners), and we ended up returning to London early because we were both so tired and fed up. Stay away from this place - it markets itself on character and charm, but it's only surface veneer - it has neither.

Cons: Poor wifi availability, and poor connection even in the public areas. The toilet in my room didn't flush properly, I had to 'pump' it to get it to flush. Very dated overall. Breakfast was very average. Very over priced for the quality.

Pros: Closeness to team and stadium.

Pros: Room was very nice and spacious. Breakfast also very good

Pros: The hotel is well located and the exterior and central staircase are impressive. Staff were helpful though there was a long queue at check in. Room was functional, but clean and everything worked.

Cons: Wifi in room is limited to 20 minutes unless you pay for the premium wifi. Furniture and décor is a bit dated.

Pros: Was more of a B&B

Pros: The price, location for city centre and railway station

Cons: Room noisy due to occupant on floor above and thin and creaky bedroom ceiling. Asking for consideration didn't solve problem. Breakfast poor quallity - no muesli or devent fruit lots of fatty bacon, poor coffee - perhaps it just matched discounted room price bracket so dont pay for breakfast and go and eat somewhere else

Pros: The staff were good people trying to hold it together

Cons: It's just old and unkept. The owners need to reinvest in the property.

Pros: Room really smells of smoke very grubby . Asked to be moved because if the smell. Next room no better

Pros: It was close to the centre which made it easy to get to the shops etc

Pros: Being close to the centre of town and the men Arena, which was why I chose it.

Cons: There was a wedding party in the hotel that night so there was quite a lot of noise, and we could hear everything that was happening next door.

Pros: Convenience for locality to Bridgewater hall where I was performing in a concert that evening!

Cons: There was a wedding party on in the main function suite which was fine but which seemed to take over the whole hotel!

Pros: The magnificent central staircase and the general grand appearance of the interior.

Cons: Our first room was very small. The shower did not work. The radio via the TV did not work. There was a nasty stain on the carpet. Extra towels were hidden in the wardrobe. As this room was on the ground floor we kept awake by the nightclub.

Pros: Everything outside of my room

Cons: My room! tiny, wallpaper falling off, mold on ceiling, rust on bath. Rank!

Pros: Loverly hotel, made feel very welcome,

Cons: Heating in room too hot unable to turn down. Inform staff did give us a fan in mins but still mafting. We went into the jenny's about 6.00pm for a cavery. The food came out of the kitchen was cold,we informed staff.

Pros: The great staff.excellent breakfast,very central

Cons: what small faults in room were corrected very quickly,

Pros: The rooms and facilities has been redone and are very clean and pleasant although the hotel kept his charming XIX century style.

Cons: A bit crowded best value for money downtown

Pros: Ideal location, relaxing,convenient.Staff very effective at evicting drunken guests who were being abusive-most impressed

Cons: I wasnt that bothered ,as it turned out to be cheaper, but my room specification was changed and I was only informed at check in,which I guess might irritate some people

Cons: I was unable to get in to my room even after trying two differentkeys. The porter had to let me in every time. He told me this happens all the time and that some doors never work.

Pros: The high points were location and the included breakfast (probably the best free breakfast I've ever had at a hostel in the UK). The hostel is located right in the trendy Northern Quarter and is quite close to Manchester Picadilly. Great for solo travel and for young people looking to explore the hipster paradise of Northern Manchester.

Cons: The facilities left a lot to be desired. Ancient bathroom facilities, heinous showers that only let out cold water in short spurts, and thin mattresses through which the wire of the bed pokes maliciously.

Pros: Reception staff were amazing.

Cons: The room I was in smelt of feet, the door wouldnt close.

Pros: Location

Cons: It as soooooo dirty, old, disgusting

Pros: The location was amazing right in the northern quarter and a short walk away from heaps of pubs. Also only a 10 minute walk away from Piccadilly Station. The staff were friendly and very helpful. To be fair you get what you pay for and it was a warm place to sleep.

Cons: Everything kind of looked dirty. The bathrooms were actually filthy and the showers barely worked. The beds were placed very inconveniently and there was only one semi accessible power outlet In the room for 10 people. Also there was no curtains or anything so privacy was minimal. There were no Male bathrooms on my floor so if i wanted a toilet or a shower I had to go up or down a floor. Half of the power outlets in the public room didn't work which wasn't ideal. Just generally it wasn't a particularly nice place to stay, but it was cheap so.
