What guests think

At NormanHurst Hotel, reviews highlight friendly, helpful staff and good value rooms with practical extras like fridges and microwaves, but also frequent complaints about dated decor, maintenance issues, and inconsistent cleanliness across the main building and annex.

Many say the bar and restaurant are closed despite advertising, while breakfast is generally decent value. Rooms vary from spacious and warm to small or noisy, with thin walls and hit-and-miss heating; location suits airport stays and tram access to Old Trafford and Manchester. Expect a budget, no-frills stay where service helps but facilities and upkeep are limited.

It was good for what I needed it for which was a oit stop for our early flight from Manchester Airport. It was also cheap so i cannot complain too much. Parking was free. Staff was plesant bjt room and building is old and not clean enough. Don't know if i will stay here again but it wasn't terrible just a bit deceiving in real life

Booked in as I'm working locally. I always read reviews before booking and wad surprised by the comments after spending a few nights. Place was really warm especially as -6 outside. Was disappointed to find out there was no bar as its still advertised as having one, but that was only complaint. Very quiet hotel and decent bed and room. Would revisit anytime as its good value, warm, and very helpful and cheery staff.

Definitely not recommended. The hotel is a little run down and "looking tired" which in itself would have been ok, but there were then a few things that were, in my view just unacceptable for any hotel, even a cheap one. This was just a one night stay in a cramped twin room, but if it had been a longer stay we would have gone elsewhere to continue the stay. The worst point was that bed linen and towels were clearly re-used from the previous occupants, as they were still clearly dirty (they were not stained, as we could wipe some of the "dirt" off). Sorry but I do expect fresh linen rather than just remaking the beds, even with budget hotels. The room was generally very dirty and also smelled a little damp. The bar and restaurant are no longer opened, so you have to drive into town to eat (or probably 20 minute walk if weather had been better than it was when we stayed!). The only member of staff was apologetic, but was then unable to remedy anything.

The property was very worn and tired.the exterior looked abandoned ,unkept. The room itself at a glance looked clean,at a deeper look the carpets were old and heavily stained,toilet area also dirty and damage to adjoining shelving. The room faced to the rear of property where there was an outdoor seating area .even with the windows closed the noise from other guests drinking and smoking throughout the night.made it impossible for me to sleep!good points; the shower was small but instantly hot also ample parking

The rooms were very tired and run down. Lots of mould in shower/grout. Torn fabric over chairs and headboard, tired furnishings. Poor heating arrangements, very cold. One end of the building stunk of cannabis, perhaps just a coincidence but smelled like smoking. Really disappointing stay.

3night break to visit family.Twin room for adult sons. Infested with fruit flies. Rooms not serviced during stay. Reception not open for clean towels at breakfast. Ragged, tired decor. Kettle on short lead underneath TV screen. Flower beds littered with mastic tubes, hotel soap containers, beer cans, washing poles. Unused external loose electric cables blowing in the wind tapping on windows. Noisy toilet plumbing from other rooms whistling. Terrible shower pressure. We'd stay again as the bed linen was clean and this place is walking distance to relatives. Suggest you stay elsewhere

The staff were welcoming, and the room was spacious. However, the shower was very weak, and the room smelled awful. I think that milk had been spilled on the floor and it smelled rancid. Ruined our stay. I think the carpet needs a deep clean, or replacing. There was a big, visible patch of mould on the wall by the bed, which is a trigger for my asthma. Before my trip, the hotel had also tried to take money from my account before my stay, when it was supposed to be paid at the property.

Well what can I say I was shown half way to my room and told my room is up the stairs and that way. I got lost as the way he pointed brought me back to the main building and my room number wasn’t on any of the doors. My so called superior room was nothing but parts of furniture was broken dust on everything the tv is was from the 90s and so slow. There was rips and carpet coming up and stains everywhere The building looks nothing like the pictures it worn down and breaking up. Only good thing was the size of the room and the bed was quite comfy. oh but the garden is looked after.

I cancelled on the phone before arrival to which they agreed to not once but twice!!! And then again via a message!! The manager then refused to be contacted by hotels.com and would not give me my money back!! When I became frustrated he told me to behave and that he would call the police!! I just want my money back for a room I didn’t stay in and the hotel agreed to refund!! - disgusting!!

What a lovely original old building to stay in.We opted for the slightly higher priced premier rooms in the original building. Most of the other rooms are in an annexe adjoining the original building. Anyway, the room was spacious. The main original hotel is a little tired decor wise but no complaints from the price paid - the service was great, and the place has a rare charm. Lots of shops and amenities nearby - 3 minute car drive.

Very good value for money, the bed was very comfortable, and the room was very warm which was great as I stayed there during the snow and freezing conditions that week. The mini fridge wasn't that cold but still done the job. Only negative parts was no towel change for over a week and room wasn't hoovered as far as I could see, but again, you get what you pay for and in my opinion this hotel was very good value for money, plus they still advertise that hotel has a bar, it hasn't been in use since covid I was informed. 8/10

As per other reviews the hotel is great for a short 1 to 2 night stay. The twin room was comfortable, but the deco was tired. Stayed for 2 nights, towels weren't changed, nor bins emptied! On the plus side there was a microwave and fridge in the room. Had breakfast both mornings. Full English at cost of £10.95, which was nice. In short hotel is ok for a short stay.
