Emergency response 🙂
Pros:

Just to say thank you very much for how you dealt with us following an unfortunate heating breakdown at Upper Brooke Street and transferring us to Central . Particular thanks to Mandy on the desk at Central who helped us with taxis and Uber reinbursement. Also with, as it turned out, a lovely complimentary breakfast the next day which means on a future stay we will be less likely to go to Spoons! 🙂 Well done Travelodge ; big fans.

Amazing staff and experience.
Pros:

We arrived on the 11th March, at around 3.30pm for a one night stay, the person who checked us in was really friendly. Later that evening we decided to have food at the bar area, then after our show that night we had some drinks in the bar too and the staff were amazing, so lovely and helpful. I don’t normally do reviews, but I figured most people only do them for bad experiences and every member of the team we met on our stay was so good, that I thought I needed to do a nice review. Even the cleaner we met the next morning on our way to breakfast, was really nice to us, there is definitely a culture of being a nice and kind person there!

Exceptional value
Pros:

Excellent experience. Stayed on level 7 overlooking the canal. The room was huge. The bathroom had a bath and an over the bath shower. The bed was comfy. The place was clean. Tea coffee and hot chocolate on the complementary tray and 2 mini kit kats were great. Staff were lovely. Hotel is central. Can't complain about anything.

Fantastic location - terrible room due to noise
Pros:

Do not stay in 613!
Other rooms may be fine...this one was shocking.

Location: cannot fault it. Close to Victoria station, 20 minute walk to Piccadilly station or use the free bus, Bus 2, from outside the station.

Clean room that was very spacious.
Dirty cheap on a Sunday night! Less than £30.

Had hardly any sleep due to persistent load bangs, and an over enthusiastic air conditioning unit.

The bangs were from doors on the corridor, but also may have been from just the bedrooms. Our bathroom door was exceptionally loud to close, so refrained from doing it in the night. It was constant.

Another note - the shower pressure was extremely low. May be better on lower floors.

So overall, a mixed review!

Ideal location and facilities
Pros:

Needed to be in Central Manchester to see a son et lumiere display at the cathedral. Central Travelodge ideally located and with car parking. Clean room and comfortable bed, view over river with wildlife. All staff very friendly and helpful. Lots of local cafes and eateries. Reasonable value for money.

Clean, functional, friendly and good on the wallet.
Pros:

Only stayed for one night. Friendly staff, nice and clean, functional room in which we had no issues with. One thing I noticed was the hotel smelt beautiful, especially in the corridors and rooms for some reason. We had breakfast, was a typical hotel buffet style breakfast. Breakfast staff were super friendly, dining area was nice and clean. Would stay here again with no hesitations.

Great dog friendly hotel - perfect for a comfortable and friendly city break!!
Pros:

We have stayed here twice already and are staying again next month! I really like this hotel - the staff are really lovely and welcoming, especially Mandy, nothing is too much trouble.

The first time we stayed the bar and restaurant were being refurbished, but the second time we had a meal in there and really enjoyed it! Great food and great service, would definitely recommend it.

The second time we stayed we took our two dogs (who also had a friendly welcome!) The room we had was very comfortable, nice and clean and carpeted (we have stayed in some hotels with our dogs where the floors are hard or laminate which isn’t very cosy).

The hotel is quite quiet and the location is great, it’s not too busy but it is within easy reach of the city centre. We were lucky we were visiting in January during the week as got a really good deal on the price, and the same again next month.

Thanks again to Mandy and the team for looking after us, we’re looking forward to staying with you again! :)

A great location .
Pros:

We booked this as we were heading to Bridgewater hall for the evening . The staff are what really makes this stay a good place to stay . Check in was a quick and efficient . We were on the top floor and had pre booked our room. The room was clean with a coffee machine and a couple of kitkat . The bath in the bathroom was yellowing and a bit dated.
The location could not have been better we were close to many places to eat and perfect for a bit of shopping . We parked underneath for £10 for 24 hr.Bargain when you are right in the centre.
We came in the wrong way so had to go round with it being a 1 way system . Will remember that next time we stay . From the car park there is an entrance which takes you to the lift to go to reception. Considering it was a city centre there was not an issue with noise.
We had had a special offer for breakfast so did as an add on . The breakfast was fantastic, as was the person who was helping the guests . I didn’t catch his name but he was friendly , knowledgeable and made everyone feel welcome .
We did a bit of shopping before heading home.
We enjoyed our stay and it might be basic but the staff were outstanding..
