Holiday Inn Express Manchester Airport, an IHG Hotel in Manchester

It's OK. Really put off by the constantly sniffing guy (staff) with the nose ring serving drinks.

Stayed one night. Room was clean and bedding smelt so clean and fresh that it helped me get a good night sleep before getting up at 3.30am.

Booked direct with IHG on the phone as I wanted to guarantee interconnecting rooms for our family for a night before at 5am flight. On arrival told the hotel has no interconnecting room!?! Furthermore I was not told when booking the hotel has no AC of any kind. Rooms were very warm and as expected with the window open it was very noisy. Manager / reception were very apologetic and it was not their fault. That said rooms were clean, beds were soft and comfortable and the grab and go breakfast offering was excellent at 3.30am. Location was less than 5mins drive to T1 meet and greet parking, but due to the lack of interconnecting rooms and AC I will look elsewhere when flying from Manchester again.

It is declared as an "Airport Hotel", but you have to walk 45 minutes from the airport, so this is a bit misleading. No shuttle available. Room was ok, but nothing special, electric kettle and hair dryer available. Couldn't sleep as a green emergency exit lamp on the ceiling in the room lights all the time. Breakfast really disappointing, no rolls, no haselnut spread (empty), not even cheese or cold cuts. Scrambled egg ok, but no salt and pepper available, sausage also not tasty, ham was fine, bread ok. Coffee was bad too (Milk coffee, as well as Americano), so I had breakfast in a different hotel on the opposite side. (much better) On the site no infrastructure like shops, just a hotel and a parking area near the road, bus station 8 minutes walk. If you just need a room for one night the hotel might be ok, but I would not recommend it.

Excellent stay here. Check in was a breeze and we received a very friendly and informative welcome from Steven. Rooms were quiet and clean with everything you need. Hotel is a short walk along a footpath to The Romper pub. We would happily use again.

Holiday Inn Express Manchester: A Delightful Stay Holiday Inn Express Manchester exceeded my expectations. The location is perfect, conveniently close to the airport and city attractions. The rooms are cozy and comfortable, ideal for families, solo travelers, friends, or couples. The complimentary breakfast and all-day restaurant serve delicious meals, adding to the convenience. The welcoming atmosphere and attentive staff make it a top choice for any traveler. Highly recommended!

Not on airport 5 mins taxi journey Not Holiday inn but like travel lodge No air con BEWARE Food average and so pricey Booked family room was a camp bed for kids

Made life easier to stay here for early flight plus car parked

This hotel doesn't have A/C (air conditioning). This is really a problem in summer, the room (on the 3rd floor) was really too hot to sleep in, we slept badly. A sign in the room says "if you're too hot, open a window" but the windows can only be opened by 5 cm, that's very little air coming in (and a lot of noise from the traffic -- and light, unless you have very good eye masks). Also the bathroom is badly designed: taking a shower sent water everywhere, flowing unexpectedly from a corner of the shower area, behind the toilets, and then towards the door, creating a puddle. No power plugs near the bed, only on the desk. Finally, there's no shuttle to the airport, you have to take a taxi. Go to the neighbouring Premier Inn instead, it has A/C, proper bathrooms, and a shuttle. It also has a more modern feeling, compared to the Holiday Inn Express which seems dated.

Very welcoming, the food was great. The beer was amazing

Lovely room, staff were amazing and good breakfast. However the distance to the airport was a big problem. The shuttle bus the web site promised didn't exist and we were on £30 of taxis. You're better off getting a hotel in town at a cheaper price and getting the train or tram to the airport.

Convenient for the airport. Staff were nice and friendly at all times. Early morning continental breakfast was left out for the early departures, so I grabbed an orange juice and a nice pastry at 3am. Price was reasonable, too ! Thank you for a pleasant stay !

Spent a night .Good. ROOMS Good,breakfast good service good thanku .

spent 3 days here for anniversary break room clean and bed really comfy, breakfast really good ,nice selection. can't fault the staff couldn't do enough nothing was too much trouble would definitely recommend for either stop over or as we did few days close to civic centre Altrincham Town centre, even got to see the wild rabbits they have

Such a shame there isn't transport from the terminals to and from the hotel.

Cheaper end of the Manc Airport hotels. It does not have a shuttle bus to take you to the terminals so factor a taxi cost on top of the room rate when pricing up options.

Hard to beat for a pre-flight stay. Probably the best breakfast on the entire trip!

More than just an amazing property, the staff were Very Professional, Very Helpful and Courteous especially in the midst of an extremely busy time for them, thanks to the Manchester airport power failure episode.

The food was great Room was nice and clean but the night was rough to warm in the room had the window open and fan on max was way to warm but either than that very clean and nice

The staff was really nice. Both at the reception and the breakfast area hence giving a 5 star rating for the service. Lower overall rating as the hallways smell of Kerosine and the flush was not working. The reason that upset me the most is they do not have a place to charge phones. We were visiting from a different country and our phone adapters would not work and we were forced to buy an adapter. Unacceptable for a international airport hotel. No easy way to commute to the airport. What money you save here will eventually be spent in a taxi ride.

Clean rooms, good location for the airport. Woke at 3am for our flight and there was a lovely buffet breakfast

Had a room booked and an hour before coming to the hotel they canceled the reservation without letting us know. Had to find another hotel last minute and ended up paying triple the price. The service is horrible and I will never stay here again and I am a loyal IHG member so this service is shocking. Could not rate this hotel lower even if I tried.

Up to usual IHG standards, good value.

Was welcomed back good service and friendly atmosphere

Stayed for 2 nights 13/4/24 taking part in Marathon. Lovely place, spotless, spacious twin room, very quiet, nice breakfast buffet with fresh and hot meal, amazing cheerful staff! Tough a little far away from the airport consider walking.

Noisy foreigners in the corridors at 2am peed me right off. Otherwise lovely hotel and convenient.

I really enjoyed my night there. Room was really good. Breakfast and the dinner was great and the staff were very friendly and professional. I would stay there again for sure

Brilliant hotel for the money. All of the staff make it a warm, enjoyable stay, thank you!

Lovely and friendly staff. The room was good, but the floor carpet was a letdown. It had some dusty smell.

We arrived Thursday September 7th .What can I say absolutely amazing best hotel 🏩 I've stayed .From our checking in to checking out fantastic very caring staff polite friendly helpful.Checked into the room spotless fresh the detail was lovely.Slept so well .Went down for our tea and a few drinks once again service 100percent food was piping hot and delicious. The barman had alot of people to serve but got through the queue so quickly and so happy and friendly. THE BREAKFAST the next day was better then a queen would expect it went on forever full of choice pipping hot it was out of this world .I an the first to complain if standards aren't right but asked could I see the manager to say how fantastic our stay was.I took names of the staff but unfortunately can't find it.I 100percent recommended this top quality hotel fit for a king and queen what a credit this hotel and all staff to this company. Simply the very very best so good my family are staying there in January and some of my friends Nov. You are amazing fantastic thankyou so very muchxxx

Easy check in, food available 24/7. Good breakfast and comfortable rooms

Ideal location for an overnight stay for an early flight from Manchester Airport. Room good size clean and comfy beds. We had some food on the evening which was tasty. Also reasonably priced in comparison to some of the other airport hotels. Parking overnight was an extra £12 but breakfast was included and even though we had a very early start there was still some food and drinks laid out for you to help yourself which was a nice touch.

Room very dirty. Breakfast very cold, and we were the first ones in the restaurant.

Great stop over for the Airport. Rooms.clean and cosy. Great shower. Good breakfast. Slight niggle, parking overnight at the hotel £12.... why ?

Decent room but the car parking was an additional cost. Breakfast time was very busy with a big queue so not exactly relaxing.
