Poor food
Pros:

Staff were lovely and polite, rooms are clean. Unfortunately the food leaves a lot to be desired. My burger arrived without 3 of the 4 toppings and my chips were cold. Granted they replaced the chips with lovely hot ones but they did not replace the rest of the meal so my burger was cold by the time the chips arrived and I was still missing burger toppings. When I asked another member of staff about this I was given the missing toppings on a separate plate to add to my cold burger. I can't blame the wait staff they were amazing, but if a meal is not right, the whole meal should be replaced and served as a fresh, hot meal. If this review was based solely in the staff and the rooms it would have been a 5 star review. My advice stay here but eat elsewhere.

Great hotel with a very welcoming atmosphere. The room was clean, comfortable, and everything worked perfectly.

A special thanks to Paulo — he is a dedicated team member and a proud Muslim, and his kindness and respectful attitude made my stay even better.

Highly recommended!

Nice hotel Shame about the guests
Pros:

Spent a night with my wife before she headed off on a flight at Manchester airport. Hotel room was clean and comfortable and great value. The experience was marred by some drunken men being rude to my wife inside the waiting area by reception. Overall decent but let down by inebriated guests with no manners. The gentleman who drove us to the airport via the shuttle service was a true gentleman and very friendly and knowledgeable.

Jan is a credit to this hotel.
Pros:

We can't tell you how good the customer service was from Jan. He was welcoming and went above and beyond to help us. We have stayed her at least 30 times and we have never experienced service like this. We also saw how good he was with the rest of the guests. What a credit to Premier Inn. Thank you so much, Jan. We are so grateful.

Parking is expensive
Pros:

As stated, parking here is expensive, because they know you need it. We booked when it was £12 for 24 hours, and they put the price up after to £14. They emailed us ahead of time to say out of courtesy they’d honour the £12. When we arrived nobody knew how to do that without manager approval, so we ended up paying the £14. Yes, it’s only £2 more, but ties the principal, especially as they went to pains to email us in advance offering to honour the original price.

And so it continued much in a similar vein. Staff don’t really care about what you need, only that you’ve paid up and leave on time. The food here is also ridiculously expensive, offering what looked like only a combo deal of breakfast and an evening meal for £30 each. No thanks.

It was noisey, hot and a bit grim. Not a great way to start the ordeal that is Air Travel in 2025.

Spotters paradise ✈️😁
Pros:

Absolutely loved this hotel. The view over the airport just made it. You could a load of planes at their stands and all the movement which for a plane spotter made all the difference. The only thing about the room I didn’t like was it was a bit too warm. Couldn’t open window as it was too noisy. But once we were awake opened the window to let those lovely engine noises in. We paid for breakfast the next morning and it was great lots of choice and was well and truly filled up for the journey back to the north east. If any plane spotters read this Manchester Airport is probably the most welcoming airport and their are a lot of places to watch the aircraft. A must is the airport pub, we walked but I think there’s a bus that goes right passed it. And the runway visitor park just round the corner from the hotel.

Unbelievable rude restaurant waitress.
Pros:

October 26 2025. Ordered medium steak and fedback that is was well done, then had a unnecessary lecture from the waitress telling me thats not how she thinks it is !. I use premier inn at least 7 times a year and have never been subjected to this kind of attitude ever!
Get your act together premier inn and please have more customer relation training for your staff ! Will choose other competitors in future
