Hilton in Manchester

The hotel is central with plenty of parking options. I used the car park over the road which was 30 seconds from the hotel entrance. Check-in was okay, nothing out of the ordinary despite being a gold member. 2 out of 3 lifts working but at least they were quick. The room, decor wise was nice, as expected, good sized TV and usual room facilities. The bathroom had a shower over the bath, it was so powerful that it sprayed all over the place, the head wasn’t fixed correctly it seemed. However no big deal, as the bathroom was nice and spacious. My only complaint or improvement area for the room was the bed. It was very squeaky, seemed quite old and a bit small and uncomfortable. I’ve stayed 50+ times in Hilton’s in the past couple of years and this was the most uncomfortable bed and smallest I’ve stayed in.

I’m staying at the Hilton deansgate hotel and all I can say is this restaurant is just magnificent!. I have a lot of food allergies yet nothing was ever too much for them, they cooked everything separately to avoid the risk of cross contamination easing my anxiety due to my stomach problems and knowing what would happen if I accidentally had something I was allergic too so knowing they cater well for food allergies is very reassuring. The first night I arrived I booked a table and had steak and chips, I cook all the time at home so I’m a bit of a critic when it comes to dining out but I wish I could of spoken to the chef to ask his secret of cooking a perfect steak because despite it was very well done it was the softest steak I’ve ever had and by far the best!. The bar is also wonderful with the most professional and friendly staff, I’ve had lunch in the bar and the food is out of this world and the chips are not just your basic chips they are absolutely delicious. I also hope his manager sees this because if so your colleague Bob deserves some recognition for the incredible customer service, he’s so friendly, polite, kind and a real star in your team! I highly recommend this restaurant as its 5 star service and the most incredible food!

Stayed here when getting my veneers done! Such a good place to relax after

Very nice hotel. The function room on top floor has stunning views! Loved my stay

Manish was AMAZING and couldn’t do enough for us! The food was amazing, service was even better! He was very knowledgeable about the food!

Great evening at Podium with colleagues! Everything from start to finish was fantastic. The service from Manish was amazing and he was so knowledgable! Also, the new menu and food was incredible. Everything went down a treat. Thank you!

Manish was absolutely amazing, so attentive, polite, and knowledgeable. We started with the bread course with cheese custard, onion tea and marmite butter which provides a unique experience. Starter was the Cornish crab with Thai green sauce - beautiful presentation. Main was the duck breast and duck bao bun - juicy and delicious! Finished off with the coconut mousse and mango sorbet which was so refreshing and light. Would definitely recommend and rate service and food 100%

Manish service was absolutely amazing. He delivered 5* service and couldn’t help us enough. Definitely recommend the restaurant because of him!

Would have rated 5 points if there wouldnt have been that issue at arrival, where I was told I booked only one room instead of two and O had to prove myself that I was right with mails and credit card booking. The explanation of that I checked in only one room with the hlton app sounded weak (I checked in both), as no room was allocated. If that is the problem,maybe deactive the check in function. Worse, no appoligize was given for the mistake Beside that, great location, great room, great excecutive lounge with very friendly and warm staff, same great treatment reveived during breakfast and at departure. Breakfast buffet is really good and there is also a gym including pool.

I can offer years of experience, excellent procedurel skills, maturity, and a good professional reputation.

Hilton MD is magnificent hotel of choice when it comes to services, rooms and locations where everything is at the few steps.

it looks a nice place like all Milton. hotels but did not. stay there I only went for the day

I recently stayed at the Hilton Manchester on a Saturday, and it was, without a doubt, one of the most devastating experiences I've ever had in a hotel. From the moment I stepped into my room, I was met with utter disappointment. The room was poorly cleaned, with visible dirt and grime that made me question if it had been cleaned at all. It was truly appalling to see such a lack of basic hygiene standards at a supposedly reputable hotel. What made matters worse was the complete disregard for customer service. I called the front desk multiple times, desperately trying to get someone to address the cleanliness issue, but my concerns were ignored time and time again. It felt as though my complaints fell on deaf ears, and the staff couldn’t care less about the state of the room or my experience. As if that wasn't enough, the ordeal didn't end when I checked out. I was supposed to receive my deposit back, along with compensation that had been promised for the subpar experience. But, shockingly, neither was returned to me. The hotel simply decided to keep my money without any explanation or apology. This level of negligence and dishonesty is absolutely unacceptable. To say this was a shitty experience would be an understatement. The Hilton Manchester failed on every possible front—cleanliness, customer service, and basic honesty. I will never, ever suggest this hotel to anyone. If you value your peace of mind and hard-earned money, stay far away from this place. It was a nightmare I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy.

My recent stay at Hilton Manchester Deansgate was nothing short of a disaster. Despite having stayed at various Hilton properties worldwide, this was by far the worst experience I've ever had. Upon arrival, my room was dusty, and the cooling system wasn't working. The floor and furniture were dirty and discoloured with visible spots—completely unacceptable for a hotel of this supposed calibre. To make matters worse, the staff were incredibly rude and unhelpful. Despite repeated requests, no issues were resolved in a timely manner. I was left waiting on the phone for hours and forced to visit the front desk multiple times, only to be met with further delays and no solutions. Even something as basic as getting water delivered to the room turned into an ordeal, and when it finally arrived, it wasn't even cold. This stay was meant to be a birthday celebration, but instead, it became a nightmare. I had heard good things about Hilton Deansgate from friends and colleagues, but it turned out to be the worst hotel experience of my life. The condition of the room, coupled with the lack of customer service, made this stay deeply disappointing. Hilton Manchester Deansgate has truly tarnished my view of the Hilton brand. I strongly advise others to avoid this hotel.

Out of 4 bookings for this hotel, 3 times we were given a room with separate beds! My wife and I booked a hotel for significant events. The staff does not cooperate and each time rudely replies that the hotel is full! But the website shows available rooms. The rooms themselves are beautiful, but because of such negligence towards guests, we will not be there again. In general, the entire hotel staff is not very friendly. I think for Hilton this is not a very good presentation in a hotel in the center of Manchester.

Just had drinks at Cloud23, service was excellent.

Looking very tired not worth the price. Currently staying here and very Disappointed. Stains on carpet, broken tiles in bathroom damaged furniture, wonky furniture. Small pillows More like a star hotel. And a constant humming noise from above somewhere At check in not told breakfast times, or where breakfast would be, not told where the bars and restaurant were, or anything else, not a 4 star service, even the info part on the television does not work

Hilton is synonymous with 5 stars! Unfortunately, Hilton Deansgate does not. Our room smelt of smoke, there were dirt marks on the carpet, we had a towel with a hole in it! Clouds Bar was great for cocktails and views. Staff generally good. However, I needed change and the receptionist said the hotel does not hold cash. She sent me to the bar, at 10am. The waitress said the bar does not operate at that time. Surely a 5 star hotel can assist guests in a better way. In conclusion, Hilton Deansgate does not meet the 5 star standards I have come to appreciate with the Hilton brand.

No problems and the breakfast was awesome 👏

Love coming here with my family they we’re kind and polite I would definitely recommend staying here

Was in town attending one of the Liam Gallagher shows at CO-OP Live. The hotel was brilliant staff were very friendly when entering. Offered us a free upgrade upon entry and gave us a discount code for the NCP parking across the road. The hotel is within walking distance of the city centre. Rooms were nice and clean. Exactly what you’d expect from a Hilton!

Hello, I am a Diamond member planning a one night stay on 8/8. Just before I hit the reservation button on the Hilton app, I discovered a notice. <Evening canapé service will be offered on Fridays, Saturdays, and bank holiday Sundays.> The day I plan to stay is Thursday. Then, isn't the Executive Lounge's cocktail hour open? Since our evening plans may vary depending on whether the lounge is open or not, I am leaving my questions here. Thanks for reading.

You get exactly what you’d expect from the perfectly located hotel in central Manchester. Ample parking available just across the road in the NCP.

Great place to stay. Views from cloud 23 breathtaking.

Very excellent, especially the last floor 23, excellent coffee. Excellent hotel and wonderful staff, Jerome and Emily were an example of welcome and I hope they continue this level of wonderful service. Excellent hotel and wonderful staff, Jerome and Emily were an example of welcome and I hope they continue this level of wonderful service

Visit for afternoon tea, very nice

Amazing experience at the Hilton again. We got the King deluxe this time, which meant we were higher up on the 18th floor. The room was very spacious, with beautiful views of Manchester. We were happy to have a view from a different angle this time round so that we could see the other side of the city.The pool and jacuzzi were excellent, and we loved the fact that you could go without having to book a slot, as we have found in other hotels. The breakfast at the Podium was a buffet style with lots to choose from. They offered cold meats, cheeses, breads, and hot breakfasts, along with hot and cold beverages. I would recommend a visit to the cloud for a few cocktails, the views again are fantastic at night, when all the lights are lit up. Nice vibe and staff overall were very accomodating. Cant wait until we come back.My only negative to this hotel is each time i have been i have been told they do not have a room for families of 3 or more unless you book the presidential suite at £1000 plus a night, i find this extremely disppointing, that a hotel of this standard cannot offer a room to accomodate my husband and my daughter unless i book the presidential suite or pay for an additional room, which defeats the object of a family stay, especially when the Midland and the Edwardian do offer this.

20/05/24 Just been checked in by two fabulous night porters. They were chatty bubbly and very enthusiastic, unfortunately didn't catch their names. Top service 5 stars!

Stayed there 15-17th of May. Left my trousers in the closet of room 711. After calling the hotel was informed nothing was found in the room. Another words staff of the hotel have stolen my trousers. Worst customer service possible.

Nice hotel overall, the water wasn't working when we got there which they didn't tell us beforehand. In a good location but pricey for what it is.

The view is amazing from cloud 23

Hilton hotel in the center, currently it is a little noisy since the entire surrounding area is under construction, the staff is very friendly and helpful, the rooms are spacious.

Quality rooms with large flat screen TV's, breakfast with lots of choices; excellent central position and enviable sky cocktail lounge.... what not to love.... I challenge you 😁

Great hotel, fantastic staff who are friendly and very helpful.

Went afternoon tea. It was nice.

If I can I will repeat, the room is amazing, the views from room 24 AMAZING, clean, good service We can't ask for more, if I can I will return

wonderful site. The reception staff is respectful. Fast service, very comfortable and clean rooms, delicious ghours. Thank you to the executive floor employee, Ms. Michelle. She is distinguished and elegant in her dealings with guests, very cheerful and polite. I wish you all the best.

On a business trip, Lovely rooms with a view overlooking the city, at the heart of Manchester. The breakfast was massive and totally worth it.

great hotel with good connections and good location. There is good service, a good hotel bar + restaurant and access to the Skybar.

Phoned and enquired about a day pass to use the Living well facilities I.e Gym and spa facilities. I was informed, by a polite member of staff, that it was £15 Monday to Friday and £20 weekends, And we agreed on a 3pm slot. The receptionist was also helpful in letting me know where to park on arrival, appreciated. Initially I thought £15 was a bit much for a day pass, but it is The Hilton and we are in Manchester, home of the Biggest English Premiership Club. Well no disappointments here and you get more than value for money. Excellent and polite customer Service on arrival at Main Hilton Reception and directed upstairs to the Livingwell area, where the excellent customer service continued. James Key( I asked for his name to provide this feedback) was very helpful in providing me with all the information and directions I needed. Even when I needed more advice and James was dealing with another client on the phone you could see how professional he was and was apologetic for making me wait. I spent over 3hrs here altogether..... Enjoying.the gym facilities, which had all modern upto date equipment. Cardio machines and weights area. Great big windows all round with views looking out over into the streets of Manchester while you are on the Treadmill and other cardio equipment. The spa facilities are exceptional...beautiful surroundings, big changing rooms with toilets and showering areas. Nice big jacuzzi, long swimming pool, lovely hot sauna and steam rooms. Relaxation area after sauna etc.. Very clean and well maintained, what you would Expect from the Hilton Franchise and Name. A five star Facilty with a five star customer service. Highly recommended to join the membership or day pass.👌💯😀

It was 2011 when we last ate at Podium. It was a dismal evening. The restaurant was in a vast, soulless, open space, just off the hotel’s reception, with only a handful of diners. Service was indifferent. And the food missed the mark with every...

Yuck, the most disgusting menu you’ll probably ever see in your life, in the end we resorted to the bar menu which was equally revolting. Unless you like dead squid or a bit of rancid pigeon, what we call rats with wings down South, you’ll...

Gorgeous food - imaginative and beautifully presented. Excellent - friendly, welcoming, attentive.

Went here today for a late lunch. Food was great and really good value. Thank you to Faith who made my daughter's birthday lunch so special and really went out of her way to look after us.

Delicious food and impeccable service from Giuseppe, Jonathan and their team. Relaxed atmosphere with a classic experience.

Podium at Deansgate always excels, service was prompt with big smiles, and Mirko and Jonathan had full knowledge of menus that helped massively to choose Vegan dishes. we tried their winter and now summer menus, On both occasions every dish was masterly presented and cooked...

Really bad experience, food was horrendous and very salty. We complained and nothing was mentioned and still had to pay the full amount of £121 for the meals we didn’t eat.

Tried the new Podium summer menu and it was wonderful. The food was fresh, creative and really tasty. The wine is really good there too and lots of light from the floor to ceiling windows created a lovely atmosphere as the sun went down. Would...

This spot is great if you enjoy fine dining, but can also be a casual dinner with their bar menu which has the classics! Podium has just released their new summer menu which I really enjoyed. It has options which include pork, lamb, steak, vegetarian...

Incredible food, still can't stop thinking about the Peach Melba dessert, the best dessert I have ever had. If you do one thing this year, try the food at Podium restaurant

Such a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. Staff were all absolutely amazing, especially Jonathan, who took amazing care of us whilst there.

Amazing time at Podium. We decided to come here for our anniversary and glad we did. Service from Jonathan was 1st class from start to finish. Food was amazing! We went for 3 course followed by trip to cloud 23. Would have no hesitation in...

Had a lovely anniversary dinner with my boyfriend on Saturday 17th June, our server was Jonathan. He was very polite and attentive all evening. Would highly recommend the restaurant and cocktail bar for any couples visiting Manchester like ourselves!

Ari carried out exceptional service that made our experience that much more special. The food was also amazing quality.

Not brilliant! Food and service were lacking in attention to detail. Service was slow and lack lustre despite the restaurant being mostly empty. The food came out cold and overcooked/ dry!

Excellent service, delicious food. Jonathan our waiter was incredibly kind and helpful and made a celebration dinner special.

We dined at the Podium restaurant, Hilton Deansgate, yesterday evening. We had a wonderful experience. The food was fantastic and our waiter Jonathan really made our evening. He went out of his way to make sure we had excellent service. He was polite, professional, and...

Richard’s service was excellent. He was attentive and yet not intrusive. He was kind and considerate.

Not the experience I would have wished. First, extremely poor service-all the waitress had to do was get the starter order correct ( carvery style main and help yourself to dessert) . She came over to us 3 times to check our order and when...

The food was out of this world. The ambiance lovely. The vies of cloud 23 breathtaking. But what really made the night was the service, attention and professionalism of the staff in both the Podium and Cloud 23. Incredible service off the nicest people.

Richard the waiter was absolutely lovely and made our meal so special and personal! I would hire him!

Fantastic food and amazing service. So friendly, knowledgeable and helpful and couldn’t do enough for us. The perfect night!

I was fortunate enough to find myself in a prolonged stay at this Hilton and eventually tired of the room service menu enough to visit the podium and I’m so glad that I did! The staff are lovely in particular Ari and Jonathan are always...
