Came for a quick stay until about 4am for our flight the next morning. ||Room - they are quite small, but it is budget. There's nothing wrong with the rooms at all, and the bed was actually one of the best beds I've slept on! …

After a long day travelling and dealing with airport security it was nice to finally relax. I was greeted by a smartly dressed polish gentleman named Dimitry, his warm welcoming smile put me at ease straight away. He was very efficient and we exchanged pleasantries talking about his native homeland which I have visited during the summer. I was then shown my room which was up to standard with a spacious shower and great facilities. I only stayed for one night as business calls but my experience was very good. I would like to thank Dimitry especially, his charming character and refreshing outlook on life helped me feel at home immediately. I would definitely stay again when I’m next in town.

Fantastic experience. I slept great, the bed was comfy, tea and coffee in the rooms, a decent budget breakfast, checking in and out was a pleasant experience I appreciated the 24 hour check in. Also vending machines or takeaway service available for late arrivals. Close enough to the airport. What more could you want. I'd definitely use this hotel again. Excellent value and experience.

Stayed one night in a twin room. As others have written, bedroom was extremely small. Twin beds were pushed together with no room at all to move around them. ||Beds were comfortable though and the rooms are bright and modern. …

The Ibis Manchester Airport budget hotel is exactly what it says on the tin.Fine for one night before or after flying. It's 2 minutes walk from Terminal 2 (pity we departed and arrived from T1 🙄, still just 15 mins walk to there).Well worth around £80 for the night 👍Our room (see photo) was around 4m x 3m.The room and especially the bathroom were kitted out to accommodate disabled clients.I fail to understand why they have made the rooms so bland? The wall colours were grey, cream, and orange and would have benefited from more relaxing pastel colours, and a picture 🙄The shelf under the mirror could easily have been made bigger. It was too small to hold the tea/coffee making equipment and needed to double up as the dressing table! Also, the mirror for some obscure reason was fitted right in the corner of the wall?The bathroom sink was far too small and had minimal narrow shelving for toiletries.Also, the toilet had no lid? It would have been very easy to knock things into it.The continental breakfast at £13 for two people was great value, good quality, and well provisioned 😋

Does what it says on the tin.....basic rooms which are fine pre-flight. Immaculate bedroom and bathroom. |We ate at the Holiday Inn next door which offered a better choice of food. Lavanya, our waitress was excellent. …

This hotel is a solid 4 stars and that's even with many of the same things happening to me as in the 1 star reviews (stained sheets, fire alarm randomly going off).I appreciated being able to check in early for a fee (5 pounds/hour early) or the hotel does offer to hold your bags until you check in so you can go off and adventure. Room is small (but that's to be expected). To those complaining about the price for the size of room - you're paying for convenience. The place is less than a 5 minute walk from T2 arrivals. If you want a bigger room there are other more expensive options nearby.The Room was clean, the bathroom was clean, the bed was comfortable enough for an overnight.Would stay again.

Great location, like a 2 minute walk to the terminal. Easy check in. Room very basic but relatively comfortable and quiet. Not much room to move about and only 1 pillow each. Had big towels and tea/coffee making facilities though. Breakfast was basic continental, I would have liked some hot breakfast too.

I wouldn't stay there a second time given that a Holiday Inn is just across the street. It's incredibly overpriced for what basically amounts to a youth hostel. The double rooms are the same size as the singles and they are tiny. The beds are tiny. You can hardly put down two suitcases while still having enough space to walk around without falling down. You can't open any windows forcing you to have the AC on to have the room at a halfway decent temperature. The breakfast for the price you pay for it is an insult. One choice of cheese and one choice of ham with the slices cut in half. Only the cheapest brown and white bread available and a single toaster. No butter, just margarine is available. The Croissants are like rubber because nobody bothers to toast them. The cereal looks like someone crushed it before filling it into the containers and the tea selection is half empty most of the time. On the plus side, you can easily walk from terminal 1 and the staff are friendly. Please just choose something else.

We chose this hotel with the parking offer. a few steps from terminal 2, 15 minutes from terminal 3 but well connected thanks to the sky walk. quick check in and very friendly staff. the hotel offers only the essentials. the room and bathroom were clean but very small. obviously for a support hotel for one night it was fine for us.
