Great hotel with very friendly staff
Pros:

Stayed here years ago and always find it a convenient location for a city visit. Booked my room with breakfast, as I hate wandering to find somewhere else to eat. The breakfast area was very clean and all the food displayed well and there was plenty of fresh food to choose from. I particularly liked the invitation to have warm croissants or pancakes warmed by Mike personally, so as not to burn them in the toaster. Mike and Lisa were very welcoming to everyone this morning. Credit also to the reception staff too, who were also very friendly working reception, bar and restaurant areas, great multitasking.

Clean & friendly
Pros:

Clean room and very friendly staff. When we rang down to see if they had a hairdryer, it was brought up to room within two minutes by lady on reception. Mike & Lisa at breakfast were very friendly and helpful. Water pressure in shower was a bit low - but, thats just a preference! Great staff.

Car Parking
Pros:

Quiet enough for a city centre hotel and close enough to the centre. Some stains on the carpet and bath not the cleanest but wasn't too bad for a one night stay.

Car park a nightmare to find - don't follow Sat Nav or Website directions:

Go up Victoria Bridge Street (premier inn will be on your right on the corner) towards the Selfridges Car Park, follow up to the traffic lights and turn right onto Deansgate, then turn right at the next set of traffic lights down Blackfriars Street (the Treehouse hotel will be on your right corner) follow the road down and Travelodge will be on your right. Turn right straight after the Travelodge into the Car Park which is located under the hotel.

Great value for money in a great location
Pros:

Stayed for 3 nights and couldn’t fault the place, staff were friendly and the room was spacious and fit the bill. Didn’t experience the food side of the hotel decided to venture out for meals but restaurant always looked busy when passing reception at various times of the day during the stay.

Go elsewhere
Pros:

We stayed at this hotel with friends for a few days to see the city. The rooms were a good size but not cleaned at all during our three day stay. Towels were changed and that was it. The hotel is in an enviable position the City Centre, but is let down by the poor upkeep of the hotel.

Glorious knickerbocker glory
Pros:

No review of this great hotel would be complete without mentioning the terrific contribution made by the catering staff I know there are others behind the scenes but Hazel Jackie and Karen absolutely superb the customer facing skills are excellent and they make everybody feel that they are the most important person in the room my favourite meal of all was one of the meal deals where I got to enjoy a scrumptious steak and ale pie with mashed potatoes and beans followed by a dessert of the most well-presented knickerbocker glory complete with cream and cherries on top

5 star experience
Pros:

I had an absolutely fantastic stay at Travelodge Manchester Central and genuinely couldn’t fault a thing. From the moment I arrived, everything was smooth, welcoming, and well-organised.
The hotel itself was spotless, comfortable, and perfectly located for getting around Manchester. The rooms were clean, modern, and had everything i needed for a relaxing stay. It was also surprisingly quiet at night, which made for a great night’s sleep.
What really made the experience stand out, though, was the exceptional service — especially from Ryan, the manager. He went above and beyond to make sure our stay was perfect, always approachable, friendly, and incredibly professional. It’s rare to come across someone so genuinely committed to customer satisfaction, and it made a huge difference to my trip.
All the staff were welcoming and helpful, creating a great atmosphere throughout the hotel. Nothing felt like too much trouble.
I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Manchester. A truly 5-star experience — thank you to Ryan and the team!
