Hotel is nice, staff are friendly and helpful. Breakfast was pretty decent, had a spread for a full english as well as some cerals, fruit etc... Rooms were a good size and even being next to a busyish road it wasnt too loud on the 3rd floor. Only "issue" was the Gym; I signed a waiver to get access to it which seemed to remove access to my room. Not the end of the world, reception had it sorted in a few minutes but the gym consists of a few treadmills and some bikes for the main. If youre hoping to do much outside of cardio, id recommend using a local gym (there are loads about). Hotel is about a 10 minute walk from the centre and there are bus/tram stops near by.

The property is not brand new and half the equipment at the small gym is either labelled broken or did not work as promised. Besides that, the staff were friendly, efficient and hardworking. Room is not brand new but it is clean and nothing is broken. If I need to visit Manchester again, I would definitely come back.

Nice location, a small amount of noise can be heard from the street. The fitness room is not a gym, only a few items for cardio (treadmill) which was disappointing. The restaurant menu was very limited. The room and bathroom were lovely, however, so I would choose this hotel again off comfort.

Lovely stay in this hotel for trip to do the Coronation Street Experience. We booked a club room and the Club Lounge on the floor is a great idea and should be copied by more hotels. It was such a comfortable and relaxing place to spend a couple of hours after being out all day.

There was construction work going on in the lobby when I arrived. I don’t recall reading that was going to occur. But I quickly forgot about this. Staff are excellent. From check-in, club floor, to check-out, everyone was helpful and courteous. If you are in Manchester for business, the club floor is particularly helpful. Ok, the coffee is lousy, but service is good. They always had fresh fruits, which I appreciated.

Great experience with the Crowne Plaza Manchester team. Wonderful service from all the staff specially Yupin who served us breakfast in the morning she’s a great credit to the hotel! Family friendly and those who want some halal food they do have some options at breakfast just need to ask for it. They have a great deal of halal restaurants and takeaways nearby. Arndale Centre is right around the corner so plenty to see and eat if you’re feeling peckish. They are parking opposite the hotel but they are costly best thing I found is to park at Printworks from 6-9am you get 12hrs for around £7.50 the only issue is street parking is only free from 8pm. Otherwise I believe it’s £19 with discount from hotel for 24hr parking.

Bathroom was spacious but very poor sink design so water did not drain. Shower was also a bit narrow. Front desk staff was reasonably helpful but were not so knowledgeable about things like laundromats and convenience/grocery stores in the area.

I booked a suite for a special stay with my Mum for her birthday. When we arrived around 6pm the room looked like someone was still in it. It has obviously not been cleaned as there were wet towels in the bathroom and the bin was full of takeaway boxes. I complained at reception and they offered us a drink at the bar whilst they sorted it out. Time was going on so we decided to have something to eat in the restaurant. We had a two course dinner which was very nice which we were told was complimentary. The manager was great but it still didn’t compensate for our stay. We’d had a long day after a delayed train and 7 hours travelling so this did hinder our stay in Manchester.

Rooms were well appointed, and the beds very comfy. Cleanliness very good, however the corridors and certain aspects of the room did look tired and in need of refurbishment. Breakfast was very good, however expect queues at busy times. Overall, I would stay here again, if the price was right.

For what is pitched as a 4 star hotel, it was a little shabby. Lifts looked ages and dirty and the carpets leading up to the room are threadbare, stains on net curtain in room and the abundance of black paint across the hotel and room looked unclean and needs touching up. The breakfast process wasn't explained on check in either. Staff were warm and welcoming. Cleanliness and issue here and I don't see how it's putting g out a 4 start rating.

Clean, large rooms but room design was poor - tiny shower, had to close the toilet lid to flush and only the large flush button worked, coat closet was on top of the coffee/snack counter which resulted in the hanging clothes touching the tea cups, kettle, etc. outlets were also on the floor, so kettle had to be kept on the floor as the cord was too short, the outlet for the hairdryer in the shower didn’t fit the hairdryer that was provided so could only be plugged to the floor. Very low water pressure as well. Recommend moving the fridge under the desk & putting coffee supplies on top of the desk so that the closet remains for clothes and the safe. Also, recommend moving the movable cabinet (with hair dryer) under the desk to the be under the bathroom sink.

Did not appreciate being made to wait at check in. 3 girls had a challenge in front with a payment issue. Fair enough. But the receptionist kept us all waiting whilst they phoned home and tried to rectify it. I asked if there was any other person in the back and the receptionist was short and refused. Why not make those girls stand aside while they resolved their issue? Why not ask someone from the back to come out and help us? Poor.

Location wonderful, staff outstanding and bar staff so friendly.

Rooms look great initially, but on closer inspection, need a little bit of TLC. Breakfast was nice, although the fried eggs they brought out were all hard. Coffee machine was poor, latte's and flat whites were identical in looks and taste. For the price we paid for a Crown Plaza Hotel, don't think it was worth it. Room needed updating in the finer details, general paintwork, bathroom grouting around bath and shower cubical was missing in parts, loose bathroom door handle. The communal areas outside the rooms look tired too, carpet looked stained and walls/doors had scrapes and dirty marks on. No complaint made as we had a decent sleep overall, but we would not stay again for the above reasons.
