What guests think
At Diamond Lodge, travellers report a budget-friendly stay with very friendly staff, generally clean, comfortable rooms, and an included breakfast, alongside a convenient location for Co‑op Live/Etihad and bus links to the city.
Many appreciate ample on-site parking, an on-site bar, and handy vending/microwave options. Common drawbacks include dated décor, noise from the main road or thin walls, a long‑standing lift outage at times, and no air conditioning. Some guests also note inconsistent bathroom cleanliness and that there is no evening restaurant, only a bar or vending/takeaway. Overall, expect a simple base suited to events and short stays.

I had a great experience with this hotel. I made a special request for a non-ground floor room, and immediately got an email confirming they would put me on the second floor. When I checked in they confirmed they were putting me on the second floor due to my request. Check in was super fast, the receptionist was friendly and answered all my questions. The room was reasonably spacious, with a small desk, hangers, sofa, and comfortable bed and pillows. Bathroom was nice and clean and contained soap, body wash and shampoo, and a cup for the sink. Bedside lighting was comfortably dim, unlike many other places. Used the ironing room to iron my shirt in the morning, which was an unexpected bonus. Breakfast included eggs, bacon, hashed browns, break for toasting, baked beans, cereals, milk and yogurt, juices, coffe/tea/hot chocolate, and some mini pastries. Decor throughout was nice, with themes of diamonds and blue. Perhaps not the most modern, but a very nice experience, especially considering the price. Only complaints are lack of plugs near the bed, and that the fence around the hotel means walking from nearby bus stops is a little awkward.

Expedia needs to update their website as there is no restaurant on site, other than for breakfast. It does have a vending machine with microwave meals (and various microwaves to cook them), but the machine doesn’t know when it’s run out of items. There’s nowhere really near the hotel to go out to without a taxi if you’re not driving. Breakfast was really good, bed was comfortable and the room was clean, although it smelt a bit musty. The best thing about diamond lodge is the staff - the person on reception on our arrival date was so helpful, booking us a taxi to get to the event we were in Manchester for, and would have spent time fixing the tv for us if we’d needed it, and arranging a refund for the vending machine payment for a meal which didn’t appear - whilst they were also answering the phone, checking people in and running the bar by themselves. They really are a credit to the hotel and deserve a bonus or a pay rise!

The room itself was clean but noisy as it faced the main road. The worst was the bathroom. It was so disgusting that I couldn't bear to have a shower or even touch the bathtub! We paid £158 for 2 nights and were horrified. For the cost of one nights stay they could easily afford to regroup the tiles and clean whatever the indescribable muck everywhere! Inexcusable for what they charged. In my younger day, student hostels were cleaner than this. Shame shame shame! 2 stars were for the staff , parking and lobby. Would have given them no stars otherwise

Rooms were very basic and only surface clean. Could do with a deep clean as felt slightly grubby. Bathroom tiles had mould and looked as though they hadn't been cleaned in a while. At check in staff were lovely and efficient. No food served at all apart from dodgy looking vending machines selling hot food....no thanks. Noise from other residents was a major issue. On going to bed people in nearby room were shouting and playing loud music. We managed to get to sleep but were wakened at 5.30am with these same people shouting, arguing and swearing. This went on for a couple of hours and nothing was done. Breakfast was very basic and not great quality. Sausages were really spicy and bacon and eggs totally overcooked so really unappetising unfortunately. Ok for 1 night as we were in Manchester for a show but definitely wouldn't recommend or return. Staff were lovely and I'd say they are the only positive comments I can make.

A great value option in Manchester and a property that provides good accommodation at a fair price and doesn't take advantage of match goers with outrageous prices like many other hotels. Staff were friendly, room was clean with a large flat screen TV and nicely decorated with comfortable bedding, tea and coffee facilities and all essentials. Cleanliness is an issue and this property needs to be appreciated for the value it offers with a willingness to overlook some things i.e. Bathrooms need a bit of attention (missing fixtures/covers with dirt obvious) , general lack of care for the property makes it look run down , grass not cut , signage upside down , musty smell , dirty plates at breakfast etc.. This place is clearly operating on a shoestring budget which is not surprising given their budget rates. However , there was nothing that would prevent me returning when keeping the price vs expectations in mind. Breakfast itself was nice. If you are on a budget and expect decent lodgings for an overnight in Manchester without expecting too much then this place won't let you down. Regular and frequent options for transport to the city centre are at the doorstep.

Diamond lodge isn’t in the most desirable areas, it is close to stadiums, staff were welcoming, room had dirt and towels with marks on them, hairs in multiple places. Corridors and rooms are not very well decorated for the money we paid, bathroom very old and needs modernising, rooms are paper thin and could hear all from neighbouring rooms and upstairs, didn’t sleep well due to this. Breakfast was good. I wouldn’t stay again due to lack of sleep and high premium they charge for this

Perfect for what we needed, a place to sleep after the Co-Op Live Springsteen gig. I have one BIG criticism……..the poor night receptionist was left completely on his own handling the front desk AND serving drinks in the bar to returning gig guests!! Poor staff management I feel, given that most of your guests on 14/5/25 were attending the concert & returned hoping for a drink. Considering how lucrative this night was for you, it was very unfair not to have at least 1 other staff member on duty to help him! All things considered, he did a great job!! 👏👏

Expedia needs to update their website as there is no restaurant on site, other than for breakfast. It does have a vending machine with microwave meals (and various microwaves to cook them), but the machine doesn’t know when it’s run out of items. There’s nowhere really near the hotel to go out to without a taxi if you’re not driving. Breakfast was really good, bed was comfortable and the room was clean, although it smelt a bit musty. The best thing about diamond lodge is the staff - the person on reception on our arrival date was so helpful, booking us a taxi to get to the event we were in Manchester for, and would have spent time fixing the tv for us if we’d needed it, and arranging a refund for the vending machine payment for a meal which didn’t appear - whilst they were also answering the phone, checking people in and running the bar by themselves. They really are a credit to the hotel and deserve a bonus or a pay rise!

As we were only there for one evening it was ok, however the cleanliness of the facilities wasn’t great, there was no where to get food, it claims to be 5 minute drive from the Co-op live arena and a 15 minute walk but this is more like 45-50 mins. It was ok to use as somewhere to sleep but I wouldn’t stay there again.

WHAT WAS GOOD: Well located, less than 5 minutes from the motorway. Added bonus of having its own car park. Good sized room. Excellent breakfast. Friendly staff. Great shower. Very reasonably priced. WHAT WAS NOT SO GOOD: On a busy main road so there is a lot of traffic noise. No air conditioning but we took our own fan so this wasn’t a problem for us. Despite the not so good issues we would stay here again.

Perfect location for heading to City Centre and to the Co-op Live Arena. Clean, spacious room and friendly staff. Breakfast in the morning topped off my stay. Would highly recommend

Excellent location to visit the new Coop Live Arena (bit of a long walk home though 45min), good size car parking, easy to find, quick taxi (£8)/bus to venue - bus stop outside hotel. Friendly staff/service. Excellent self service breakfast, also vending machines available (food/drink). Room good size, comfortable, good facilities (tea/coffee, shower gel/shampoo provided) few scuff marks about - wear and tear but not too shabby. Would definitely visit again.

Warm welcome and helpful reception, Rooms were disappointing and require some attention. Breakfast choice was limited and only scrambled eggs were served although labelled as fried eggs.

You need to take off the restaurant off the booking as they don’t do evening meals I had to order in a take away it’s wasn’t clear when booking. They did a good breakfast. So my stay was ok

Rooms were very basic and only surface clean. Could do with a deep clean as felt slightly grubby. Bathroom tiles had mould and looked as though they hadn't been cleaned in a while. At check in staff were lovely and efficient. No food served at all apart from dodgy looking vending machines selling hot food....no thanks. Noise from other residents was a major issue. On going to bed people in nearby room were shouting and playing loud music. We managed to get to sleep but were wakened at 5.30am with these same people shouting, arguing and swearing. This went on for a couple of hours and nothing was done. Breakfast was very basic and not great quality. Sausages were really spicy and bacon and eggs totally overcooked so really unappetising unfortunately. Ok for 1 night as we were in Manchester for a show but definitely wouldn't recommend or return. Staff were lovely and I'd say they are the only positive comments I can make.

Expedia needs to update their website as there is no restaurant on site, other than for breakfast. It does have a vending machine with microwave meals (and various microwaves to cook them), but the machine doesn’t know when it’s run out of items. There’s nowhere really near the hotel to go out to without a taxi if you’re not driving. Breakfast was really good, bed was comfortable and the room was clean, although it smelt a bit musty. The best thing about diamond lodge is the staff - the person on reception on our arrival date was so helpful, booking us a taxi to get to the event we were in Manchester for, and would have spent time fixing the tv for us if we’d needed it, and arranging a refund for the vending machine payment for a meal which didn’t appear - whilst they were also answering the phone, checking people in and running the bar by themselves. They really are a credit to the hotel and deserve a bonus or a pay rise!
