Top John Rylands Research Institute and Library Hotel Reviews

a&o Manchester City Centre

8/10 Good

"Lovely place to stay! A very central location, with everything you need for a comfortable stay. The accommodation was immaculately clean, practical and had a calm, pleasant atmosphere. There are just a couple of small things that could be improved. The breakfast was quite basic, and it would be lovely to see some healthier options, such as oats or muesli, fresh fruit and fresh juice. The room was also a little too warm, and unfortunately, the air conditioning didn’t seem to make much difference. Parking was 2 min away - but very expensive (about £45/ night). If you are happy to walk about 8 min - you can get parking over night - maybe it was for 24hrs, not sure, for about £18 (JustPark) Overall, a lovely, peaceful and convenient place to stay. I would happily recommend it!"

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."

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