Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Airport Hotel Manchester is often chosen for its convenient location, particularly for those needing airport access and proximity to spots like Catley station (around 10 minutes by car) and a Tesco local within a short walk. Many guests find the rooms spacious and appreciate features like tea and coffee facilities along with a TV. The breakfast buffet offers a good selection of cooked English options and cereals, and the bar area is generally well-received; however, some guests have noted noise from the nearby M56 when windows are open. With some rooms providing a panoramic view and overall good value for money, the hotel is a satisfactory option for short stays.

Adequate Stay Near the Airport

friendly staffwide screenold carpetsbroken telephone
The staff I encountered were friendly. The location was convenient for accessing transportation. The room had a wide screen television. Teas and coffees were available.
The carpets could use some updating. I found that the free WiFi advertised was not actually free, it required payment. The bedroom telephone in my room did not work. It was an inconvenience as I had to visit reception for assistance.

mediocre stay near the airport

close car parkpoor signageuncomfortable beds
the hotel is close to the car park we were using.
the signage for entry was hard to see. the one way park system was a joke as people illegally parked. the bedding and towels smelled of cooking and the beds were uncomfortable. i was disappointed by the lack of drinking water in the room.

The staff members were polite and helpful . the room was serviceable and clean with good facilities. i appreciated the availability of tea and biscuits in the room. I also noted the bright and cute foyer.

The staff response was prompt. I found them friendly. I did not have any trouble . The room was a good size and clean. The hotel is older but comfortable.
The bed mattress was hard and uncomfortable. The sheets were too small. I found the room was cold because of draughts from the window.
