Top John Rylands Research Institute and Library Hotel Reviews

Maldron Hotel Manchester City Centre

10/10 Excellent

"The room was pleasantly clean"

Britannia Hotel Manchester

8/10 Good

"Decent sized rooms, if not basic. Shower didn’t work properly in my room which I didn’t realise until the morning when it was too late. Windowless rooms still contain a skylight so don’t let that put you off and pay the extra £10. You still get daylight in"

Leonardo Hotel Manchester Piccadilly

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay! Recommend staying there"

The Alan

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect location, breakfast was delicious, the hotel was gorgeous and the room was so clean and spacious. Would absolutely book again."

Leonardo Hotel Manchester Central

8/10 Good

"We stayed in a basic room with a double and single bed. It had everything needed for a short stay and the public areas seemed clean and well maintained. Whilst the room overall was clean, the bathroom was in need of a housekeeping inspection as the underside of the toilet rim was visibly black and the back of the bath taps also were in need of a toothbrush and some bleach! No breakfast was included in our booking and we declined to pay extra for the breakfast as it was a flat rate of £14? and for those just requiring toast and coffee it was not good value. The cost of the drinks and snacks on offer in the foyer also seemed on the high side. Room value for money was good and the hotel position for our needs was excellent."

Native Manchester

10/10 Excellent

"+ Clean spacious room. Great location. - Breakfast ran out of key items half way through service on the second day."
