Excellent
Pros:

Our room was spacious and clean, walk in shower room was excellent, clean and spacious too for any type of wheelchair and 2/4 people. The endless supply of tea, coffee, sugar and curtains of milk from the reception day and night. Lovely to be able to bring in food and drinks of your liking and its great they like to recycle too. The meals were picture perfect and delicious
Breakfast was brilliant, full English and continental with extras and you can go up for more. I was allowed to take some of the food back upto my room for later, as long as I didn't go overboard and take all the tasty blueberry muffins.! The staff were helpful,cheerful and go out thier way to ensure your stay is a pleasant one. Top marks for everything I experienced and yes I definitely will stay at the premier Manchester city. Thankyou Cheryl

Good quality night sleep in Manchester
Pros:

Stayed on the 6th floor at the Premier Inn Manchester Central 28th Nov 2025. Lifts were super quick & quiet. Room was lovely & clean with quality comfy beds & bedding. Our room was at the front & had Triple Glazing. Although Trams do go past on the road below we never heard any noise at all.
This Hotel was "Perfect" for The Bridgewater Hall. It was practically next door & only a 2 min walk away. After going to a show in the evening we came back to the bar connected downstairs for a drink & prices are reasonable.
Manchester Oxford Train Station is only a couple of blocks away & Manchester city centre is walkable & lots of bus/tram/train options available.
We ordered the Buffet Breakfast in the morning & the Full English Breakfast was lovely. Lot of other choices available Cereals, Yogurts, Fresh Fruit, White/Brown & Seeded bread, Croissants, Fresh Cakes & variety of Juices & Hot Drinks with good Tea & Coffee Selection.

Not so Premier anymore!
Pros:

The cleanliness on arrival was poor in the reception and corridors. The fan in the bedroom was loud that I had to turn the heating off to get some sleep and could still hear the fan next door. There was an alarm going off on the scaffolding outside for over 2 hours during the night. There's no parking so had to park next door which cost a fortune. There's only one plug on one side of the bed to charge your phone. No biscuit with your tea/coffee and not bottle of water on arrival. Lots of costs being cut but still charging the same. The overall quality of Premier Inn has gone down this past year.

Not great at Manchester ( disappointed for a Premier )
Pros:

Hotel ok , shower had some problems , parking was a nitemare for this inner city hotel , ring road to navigate , nearest car park at Central , under the building , quite a walk , stairs and a busy road and tramline to cross .£66 to add to bill for car park charge
Breakfast was ok , no one around much first morning , left empty box out of tea , still not replaced following morning ( sloppy attention to service ) went onto Southport next night , much better in every way !!!

Stained bedside table
Pros:

I had a mixed experience at this hotel, when I stayed overnight for a work meeting the following morning.

When arriving staff were friendly and attentive and check-in went smoothly. However, when I went into my room there was… a suspicious white substance… over my bedside table and bedframe of the liquid variety… 🤮

I went down to reception to complain and the receptionist looked a bit non-plussed but apologised and sorted me another room which appeared better but it did put me off, understandably! Mistakes happen and this was clearly missed but I probably wouldn’t stay here again

Premier plus lacking the plus
Pros:

Premier plus room was lacking in comparison to other premier plus rooms at different locations. The hair drier and coffee machine both didn’t work. The room and bathroom was also small again in comparison to other premier plus rooms I’ve stayed in where they were almost double the size. Would definitely say for value for money was not there as it was relatively expensive for what you got. Unfortunately, I’ve come away disappointed of spending that much money for a hotel room.

Avoid, there are many better. A very run down restaurant with unhelpful staff . The hotel is not the best either.
Pros:

I stayed at this hotel with my wife as we were going to a nearby show that evening. I had already checked in prior to arrival. The weather was stormy so we decided to eat in the restaurant The Bishopgate which is the attached Premier Inn restaurant serving the hotel. Hotel reception staff informed us that we did not need to book but just turn up. This was far from reality. When we did go to the restaurant at 5.15 we were told by the staff that they would not serve us as they were fully booked. When I told them that the hotel reception said I did not need to book they just said that they were wrong and the restaurant was not the same company as the hotel. When I pointed out the internal door between the two there was no reply. I was left with no option other than to seek out a local restaurant to eat in. We did use the restaurant for breakfast and found it in need of a complete refurbishment. Torn and dirty seating that is well beyond its expected lifespan. The breakfast itself was mostly cold although some items were luke warm. The fried eggs had obviously not on the heat very long in the kitchen as there was very little egg 'white' but a lot of clear uncooked egg. It's not difficult to fry eggs but seemingly beyond the abilities of the 'chef'.
As for the hotel itself, it was very basic but functional. The bed was at least comfortable and the tv worked. The bathroom was exceptionally small. It was not possible to stand in front of the sink without the back of your legs being in contact with the toilet seat.
Would I recommend this hotel? No. I have stayed in other Premier Inn hotels, even in Manchester, and never felt the need to review negatively. They must look at this establishment and make improvements.

A hotel in need of a refit.
Pros:

Tired, worn out rooms with flaking trim on the desk. I would be careful walking in bare feet on the carpet. The room was 17 degrees when I entered and took a couple of hours to get to 21c. The whole place is covered in scaffolding. It is obviously waiting for a refit and I would wait for them to finish this before booking this hotel. There is a radiator at bottom of the stair well, not attached to the wall anymore but still wired in. The staff on the evening shift were great, helpful and engaging. The meal I ate was a watery curry with 4 pieces of chicken, tasted great though. The breakfast staff must have just finished a shift at Strangeways prison. 'Name----room----sit where you want'. No coffee machine, it was broken and you had to resort to plastic sachets of cheap instant coffee (no one explained this and it took 6 minutes to find the prison officer to ask about the machine). Sausages were under cooked, nothing brown about them, like they were boiled. Tomatoes were sour, no eggs at all. I paid over £200 and have had better stays at a youth hostel.

Would definitely recommend
Pros:

We have just returned from a two night stay in this hotel, I could not recommend it enough. On the evening we arrived Leigh and Sylvia were the perfect hosts, Sylvia making the check in process seamless and Leigh providing great service and menu advice at dinner time, the accommodation was clean, spacious and warm, well wanted, considering how cold Manchester was Saturday.. I would definitely stay here again, there is scaffolding but this obviously temporary, it didn’t impact on my stay in anyway

Ridiculous cost to park
Pros:

The room was comfortable and shower great. However, the entrance wasn't apparent given all eth scaffolding and the cost of any nearby carpark is quite frankly extortionate. I was stunned to discover there was no reduced rate agreed with the nearby NCP so it was £30 to park overnight. As such, I wouldn't stay here again and wouldn't recommend either

Acceptable
Pros:

I wouldn't pay for a Premier plus room. Not a lot of difference. It was ok for a one night stay. Within walking distance for most things and tram stop 2mins away.
