What guests think

Imperial Salford Hotel is a budget, no-frills choice near Salford Crescent, drawing mixed reviews that praise value and some friendly staff while frequently criticizing cleanliness, with experiences ranging from acceptable for a short stay to strongly disappointing.

Rooms are basic, with hard mattresses, thin walls and occasional broken fixtures or TV problems. Facilities are limited: no on-site breakfast or restaurant, a sometimes broken vending machine, no lift, and parking that can be tight despite being available. The location works for quick access to Manchester by nearby train, though a few guests felt the exterior and area looked run-down. Overall, expect a simple, budget stay.

Converted old pub, you could see that they have tried their best in places, Very clean room, nice bed, could not get in to the property as the reception was not manned had to wait for someone to let us in. Paint on the carpets not a good look. vending machine not working, and the carpark was vey bad and not clear what o do or where to park. needs attention, the look of the building was not a pleasant site broken windows and shattered door. this place needs work on the outside.

The Imperial isn't a 5 star hotel, but its clean, the staff are friendly, its in a great location, and provides you a great base to go and see/do whatever it is you're doing in Salford or Manchester. With the train station across the road you can get into the city centre, or further out into Greater Manchester. McDonalds for breakfast. Free parking too!

Property with no direct tram connection only a northern line train. The mattresses on the beds were incredibly hard and I have no idea why these were selected. Television didn’t work and the soap dispenser holder was broken. No breakfast on premises but McDonald’s nearby.

You get what you pay for and it was better than expected! Parking was a little scarce though for the size of the property. Also didnt help that others not staying park outside as well. All in all served its purpose.

Iv been to some strange and unclean places before but this one takes the biscuit! The beds were absolutely vile our mattress had so many stains and even a cig burn in the walls were dirty as hell, showers were rank and all the tiles had holes in, the rooms were more like cupboards then rooms. There was nowhere to dine and even the vending machine was broken. Our door didnt even lock because the lock didnt fit into the lock slot in the door frame which made me and my friend feel very unsafe uneasy. We didnt stay we just left you can keep the money we just didnt want to stay. Worst place iv ever been in my life!

Unclean bed and bathroom, sticky doors that would either not close or not open once closed, radiator hanging off wall. No refundable booking option available and then when asked for a refund due to unacceptable conditions and moving hotels they have then refused

The worst hotel iv ever stayed in, if I was able to book a different hotel I would have left immediately. I don’t even believe they changed the bedding as there was hairs and stains all over the bed. They definitely do not clean the room. It was the dirtiest room I’ve ever seen. I would never ever ever stay there again even for free even if you paid me I’d still decline!

I arrived late afternoon and it was dark. The inside of the hotel and particularly the room were very dirty. The bed had been tidied so a cleaner had obviously been in but when i pulled back the duvet, it was filthy, not just the odd mark but filthy. It hadnt been changed for months. I was told there were no other rooms and had to leave. No help to find another hotel or even a taxi.

It was doable at best. There were several hairs on the bed and in around the room. There was mould in the bathroom. The night light didn't have a bulb. No hot water from bathroom sink. The "window" was out looking into the hotel corridor. Very dirty walls. Could also hear other customers at night from other rooms. Staff were not welcoming and I wouldn't bother trying to ask for anything. The shower pressure was good though despite it being too hot.

Awful. Had no hot water for first two days and staff were very unhelpful in resolving this. General unprofessionalism of staff. Room was not very clean, shower drain was blocked indicating it had not been cleaned for some time. Issues with keycard not working randomly, unable to sleep due to loud banging heard throughout the hotel every night. Complete disregard from staff and guests for privacy, safety and security. Would not recommend

Incredible value for money. I was working in central Manchester, which was 30 minute walk. I couldn’t have asked for more from my stay. I would definitely recommend this place, and I’d stay again.
