Top John Rylands Research Institute and Library Hotel Reviews

a&o Manchester City Centre

The Midland - Manchester

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful property. The staff are very friendly and the breakfast was great - both the food and the restaurant it’s served in."

The Alan

8/10 Good

"The food was fantastic!!"

The Edwardian Manchester, A Radisson Collection Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I had a wonderful 2 days at this hotel. The spa area was beautiful and relaxing. It was busy which was nice. The breakfast was really nice and Josh and another gentleman that helped me with my servicing my breakfast. The location was very good and I would definitely book this hotel again."

Leonardo Hotel Manchester Central

8/10 Good

"Excellent location convenient for central Manchester and Oxford Road station. Room comfortable with everything needed for a one night stay. Effective air con, unlike many hotels. Very calm and relaxing decor. Bathroom was something of a letdown with a cheap, and not particularly warm shower - a non slip mat would have been useful. We were pleased with the restaurant. The menu is a bit limited but the meals were of good quality and reasonably priced considering the location. Decent range of breakfast options though several of the ‘hot’ items were lukewarm/cold. One final point - the ‘shop’ in reception. The prices are extortionate. No wonder the shelves were full. Ok, there’s paying for convenience, but this was ridiculous - there’s a Sainsbury’s Local at the end of the street……"

Townhouse Hotel Manchester

8/10 Good

"The hotel is very nice in a very good location a couple of block from the Town Hall. There are several parking lots nearby. The room was very nice but the lighting was not very bright. Light in the bathroom was not good for shaving or, I imagine, for applying makeup. The breakfast was good. The hotel is on a major street and the traffic noise is pretty loud most of the time."

Maldron Hotel Manchester City Centre

10/10 Excellent

"Close to station very helpful staff."
