What guests think

Reviews of Holiday Inn Manchester-Mediacityuk by IHG highlight very friendly staff, generally clean, spacious rooms, and a convenient MediaCityUK location near trams, the Lowry and Old Trafford, with many guests reporting smooth check-in experiences.

Common downsides include occasional noise from plumbing or air conditioning, some uncomfortable or sagging mattresses, and intermittent maintenance or housekeeping lapses. Breakfast is often praised, but stock and temperature can slip at busy times, and feedback on the on-site restaurant and bar is mixed, with quality and value varying. Parking is in a nearby multi storey with a hotel discount, though costs and validation can be confusing, and lifts can be slow. Overall, expect a comfortable, well-located stay best suited to visits around MediaCity and Old Trafford.

We booked it for the Coronation street experience, wow we weren't disappointed , just a five minute walk.Also parking and dropping off was easy, multistorey car park two minutes walk.Tram for the city centre just a couple of minutes as well. Well worth it.Staff very friendly helpful, and cheerful.Best I've seen for a long time.If your going for The Coronation Street experience or Old Traford or even into the city you won't be disappointed, you might even bump into some tv stars that stay there.

Booked with friends to see the filming of The Voice in studios at Dock 10, which is literally next door to the hotel, so location couldn’t have been closer. Breakfast was good and all looked fresh. Food in Marco Pierre White’s bar/restaurant on the ground floor (day before) left a lot to be desired and will definitely give that a miss in future, but there are a number of well known eateries in the area. Good link via tram as far as I could tell and parking is readily available in the multi storey next door, with a hotel parking rate for overnight stays. Rooms were clean and had all the basics needed for one night and staff were all welcoming.

Room clean and available well before official check in which was good. The room was a bit too warm for me but I do like a cooler room to sleep in. Breakfast was disappointing though. No bacon available both containers being empty, food tepid to warm but plates cool, toaster more like a warmer. Parking ticket was not correctly validated (discount not applied).

Nice and clean environment. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The restaurant staff were particularly very hard working & polite. They replenished well prepared food (breakfast), so no need to hang around for long. They also made sure tables were cleared up once vacated by the guests - so we didnt have to look at dirty utensils while we dined. The only problem we had were the lifts, as they always took longer than expected to arrive.

Check in was busy as expected but staff were welcoming (Ellie i think) explained everything we needed. The £50 security deposit was an unwelcome suprise so glad we had an option for that (luckily) the room was ok, tired decor, hair on the floor, bathroom not very clean. 1 tissue in the box and half used toilet roll. Glasses were filthy. The bed was big and comfy ish, very warm in the room and no window to open. The towels were stained and drain in shower clogged. Nothing major that we needed someones attention for as everyone was clearly very busy but for what I paid i was expecting luxury not a semi clean room

The AC didn’t work on arrival so we reported it. On return that eve they said fixed. It wasn’t but we gave benefit of the doubt a persevered. At 1.30am we moved rooms and all our stuff. Very inconvenient but night staff were excellent and refunded partial room rate for that night which we thought was fair. Just a shame it wasn’t dealt with upon first report. Maintenance cannot have checked properly. However, apart from this which was rectified without quibble the stay was good. Friendly staff, breakfast excellent choice and quality. Good location to many amenities as well.

The hotel looked great from the outside however, when we arrived at our room there was issue with the cistern running constantly. Despite raising this issue twice, no-one came to fix it. The cistern ran continually and noisily all night. It was so loud it kept us awake. We spoke to the receptionist the next morning who shrugged her shoulders and said they’d look into it. Very disappointing.

Excellent hotel. Would recommend this to anyone. The room was on the 15th floor, amazing views. The room had 2 single beds, tea and coffee facilities, and 2 shortbread biscuits, iron and ironing board, hairdryer, the bathroom was lovely bath and shower in one, had shampoo, conditioner and shower gel all on the wall. Spare towels also. Nice size room, had a table with a swirly chair, and an armchair in the corner, and a fridge which was a nice little bonus. Breakfast was lovely we ordered it the day before which was £10 but if you wanted to buy on the day it was £20, great selection of hot and cold food. All members of staff were lovely check in was simple. We had food downstairs little pricey but what isn’t these days! There was another restaurant upstairs but we didn’t realise this till after and the prices were a little cheaper but all depends what you want. Parking was £11 for 24 hours but we used the tram which is so easy. Would stay here again.

Check in was at 2pm but there were no rooms available. We checked in during the evening and the room was basic. The toilet seat was broken and the room was tired looking. We ate in the restaurant at 8.30pm and I asked for a vodka and Diet Coke and was given a Diet Coke. I asked again for a vodka and was told that it was in the glass but it didn’t seem so as it was only a single. There was actually no liquid in the glass, only ice. The waitress took the bottle of Coke and the glass away and came back with the Diet Coke in the glass and said it had vodka in it . I couldn’t taste any. The meal was very average. My husband had a ribeye steak which was gristly. I had a Malaysian curry which tasted like a microwave meal. We would not eat here again.

The main reasons we booked this hotel was because it is close to the events we booked and was within walking distance of the events. The hotel is very pricey but did was clean, had spacious rooms, and comfortable beds. The hotel has a restaurant which was okay. The day we were leaving, there was a huge marathon with ++ streets blocked off. We asked the reception staff for suggestions on the best options for us as we had to be at the train station fairly early; unfortunately we did not find the reception staff to be overly helpful as they didn't offer any suggestions! Regardless of reception, the hotel is is very nice.

I usually have breakfast in my room but this time chose to meet up with a colleague and went for a continental. It was understocked, range limited and the Danish pastries were raw! Not a great memory. Next time we will go out!
