Stayed for the third time in the past 12 months and the service remained good with helpful and quite friendly staff throughout. The room this time was a little unpleasant, with a broken hair dryer, malfunctioning air-conditioning / heater unit, noisy and slightly dirty. However, the toilets on the ground floor wasn't clean and if you're staying when there's football (due to its proximity to Old Trafford), the bar area is full of rowdy and rather rude patrons which disturbs the peace and relaxation of other guests which the hotel should address sternly. Breakfast is included in its price but parking isn't which is a shame considering they charge over 200£ per night for a very basic and rather dated room.

The holiday in express is well placed and spotless, the staff are brilliant. Chris particularly was always accommodating. The restaurant menu is a bit bare but I think because there are options around it isn’t an issue. The rooms are spacious and have cooling and heating options.

I booked this hotel from Canada as my daughter and grandsons were sleeping in airports for 2 days after being held up in Bali. They didn't check in till 11pm, but the staff had the consideration to make up the sofa bed (without being asked) before they arrived. It's a small gesture but after a travelling nightmare thru Bali and China, it's was so appreciated. The room was clean, perfect for the 3 of them. They served an "English breakfast" (something we always hear about on TV in Canada) and they loved it!The area was quiet and it was a short walk to find food spots.The staff also accommodated a last minute extra night stay due to another canceled flight. My daughter was very grateful her and the kids didn't have to pack up and find new accommodations.This hotel had the best prices for the area.Would highly recommend this hotel based on the outstanding customer service from the staff, and the quiet, peaceful location

Good value and comfortable. Ideal for a trip to Old Trafford - 20 min flat walk with only a few steps up to a bridge over the canal. Clean rooms and bathroom - a little older than the HI at Media City but a lot cheaper.  …

Great location on The Quays. Walkable to The Quays Outlet Shopping Mall, Imperial War Museum, The Lowry Theatre, TV Studios, and Trafford Park, to name a few. Lots of choice of eateries close by. Comfortable rooms. Excellent service from the friendly staff. Good bar selection. The only disappointment on this visit was that the hotel had run out of most breakfast items such as baked beans, scrambled eggs, and coffee from the machine. What was left was barely warm. However, we shall return and take this as a one-off situation.

What we liked:The location was excellent, and the staff were very helpful and accommodating. The breakfast was decent, and the hotel staff made an effort to celebrate my wife's graduation with thoughtful decorations in the lobby for graduation week. I would recommend this hotel if you are on a budget.What we didn't:There was a disturbing smell at the hotel entrance due to a public washroom adjacent to it. The rooms were very tight, and the shower was clogged, causing water to drain slowly. Overall, the hotel looked old and outdated.

We had issues with the room due to our pet being stressed, the small size of the room and the AC was broken. Although our room had issues, the service was excellent, we decided to leave a day early in short notice, since our pet was too stressed, so the Team Leader Rhys understood our situation and was kind to give us a partial refund. We are very grateful for this good service given the situation. Overall the hotel was excellent with amazing staff. I would recommend!

I have just had a glance at my review when we previously stayed here in August 2022, when very little was working and having just stayed for three nights, there has been scant improvement. …
