What guests think

At Alma Lodge Hotel, travellers consistently praise friendly, helpful staff, good value, and generally clean rooms, while noting dated decor, occasional maintenance issues, and mixed comfort due to hard beds, thin walls, or heating and water-pressure quirks.

Breakfast is frequently rated tasty with good variety, though a few report lukewarm items, poor coffee machines, or, at times, limited service, and the evening restaurant is often closed or offers a reduced menu. Location is convenient for Stockport and Manchester with ample parking, but the busy road and occasional functions can bring noise, and there is no lift, making stairs a consideration. Expect a budget-friendly, old-fashioned stay with warm service and some trade-offs.

This hotel far exceeded my expectations. I paid £55 for a night's bed and breakfast on a Saturday (the Travelodge nearby was £150 room only!). The common areas (reception and bar) were very nicely decorated / furnished and felt more like a higher priced hotel. The room was nicely done with well thought out lighting / socket placement, very fresh smelling bedding and it was exceptionally (spotlessly!) clean. Breakfast was very good (tinned fruit being the only giveaway this was a budget hotel), great selection for a full English with quality ingredients, fresh pastries. All the staff were lovely, very friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay here again if in the area, it would be my first choice.

Staff courteous but busy; understandable due to Christmas events. Room’s over bed lights - only one was working. Wondered if it was just a loose tube etc so had a look behind the shade. It was very dusty and obviously not featured in weekly or monthly cleaning schedule. We had a tight schedule visiting friends and family in the area and came back to hotel to relax between visits and would have liked more tea bags for our number of nights stay v number of guests; especially when housekeeping is a choice for guests. When we did ask at reception for extra they were happy to give but said “I’ll give you one each” and we had to request double that !

The beds were hard, not comfortable at all, got very little sleep due to this, and the very thin walls. We could hear kids running in the corridor at 2am, and crying. Could also hear tv noise and general loud chat from other rooms, all due to the thin walls. Not a place i would come back to.

This was the 2nd time I have stayed here, the last time 2023, The actual hotel, and all those employed were excellent, however some of the guests as in all hotels really should have some respect of other guests, we are all not up at 5am, we are all not in bed at midnight, some of their attitudes are deplorable, for goodness sake people, there is a handle to open and close the doors, do you do it at home? if you do, god help your families! But apart from that, I have full praise, and if I ever travel to Stockport again, I will be sure to stay here, I have so much praise for the staff, all exceptionally polite, and always do everything in their power to help. My biggest praise goes to Ellie, who sorted me out on my first day with my walk in shower! Gold star

The hotel is dated but clean and the rooms are a decent size, no lifts in the place. First night was okay but on the 2nd they had a wedding, I had to leave the hotel as the music was so loud at 1730 that I couldn't relax in my room at all and the staff were very unhelpful, the music went on until 2330 and there were several others complaining when I came back to the hotel after dinner. If they want to have functions with very loud music they need better soundproofing. I got offered a measly free breakfast for my inconvenience but managed to get £20 back as a refund which was still very poor, should have been a full night refund. Overall never stay here if they have a function as it was unbearable

The reception staff were friendly and helpful. There were no lifts but that didn't boher us as the stairs weren't steep. The room was comfortable and clean with everything we needed. Breakfast was lovely with a really good selection of full English breakfast, pastries, cereal, yogurt and fruit. Would stay again .

Hotel is very dated and neglected. Stayed here three times over the past 12 months, every time there is ‘an issue with the chef’ and breakfast is reduced to a very limited selection of cereal and stale coffee. I had given them the benefit of the doubt initially but there are much better options out there.
