Mellor Vacations from $1,248

This is an old hotel but it still is a decent place to stay. I have stayed quite a few times and will always return.

I liked the location and also the modern design of the hotel and furnishings overall. The rooms are however very small, there is very little storage for clothing with just a hanging rail above the fridge ( yes, terrible). The bathroom is also very small and narrow. The worst for me was the lack of an actual breakfast. No, you do not get to go to a main restaurant and get to choose from a variety of cooked and continental together with fresh tea and coffee. At this hotel they bring you a wicker basket with some mini school meals type of foods: a mini box of rice crispies, a mini muffin, one babybell, a mini milk, a mini juice, mini spreads ( jam, nutella, marmalade and butter) but without any toast ( perhaps the hotel expects you to eat these spreads with your fingers straight from the little pots), one mini weetabix. This hotel isn’t upfront about the breakfast offering on the booking platforms however they do charge standard full breakfast rates as all other hotels that actually do offer a real breakfast. I will not stay here again and I don’t recommend it to anyone. For context, yes I did query at reception why they offered such a poor breakfast and if they have other options and the answer was ‘that’s all we have’.

Great location with parking on street, easy and comfortable stay. Pool table was a hit with my teen boys!

Really enjoyed our stay at the Maldron Hotel Manchester. The location is fantastic — really convenient for getting into the city centre and within easy walking distance of the Arndale, shops, restaurants and everything else Manchester has to offer. The hotel was comfortable, welcoming and had everything we needed for our stay. The staff were friendly and helpful, which always makes such a difference. Tasty breakfast with so many options to choose from. There were a few minor cosmetic things around the hotel and room that could do with a little TLC, but nothing that affected our stay or overall experience. Overall, a really good stay and I’d happily return when I’m next in Manchester.
