The 35 best spots for dim sum in Manchester

Tattu Manchester is one of the best Chinese restaurants I’ve ever been to. The food was absolutely delicious — the highlight for me was the sea bass fillet steamed, which was cooked to perfection. The staff were very friendly and provided excellent service throughout our meal. The restaurant itself is beautifully designed, creating a great atmosphere for dining. Prices are a bit on the high side, but definitely worth it for the quality of the food, the stunning interior, and the attentive service. I would definitely come back here next time I’m in Manchester.

One of the best! The food was excellent, but what took our experience to the next level was Tyler! We specifically complimented him that the service, care and attention he brought to our dinner was the one of the best we’ve experienced in the UK. Great cocktail recommendations, the TATTU signature tasting experience was excellent: the duck was top tier, crispy but juicy. The shrimp were flavorful and well seasoned. The truffle spring rolls were awesome: not too heavy on the truffle, but just right. Wave 2: salmon was excellent!!! Angry bird, great, and the aged beef filet also excellent! The green beans were a surprise favorite, and the rice also flavorful to round things out. Dessert: the Asian pear sticky toffee pudding, so so so so good! An homage to the UK classic, but sophisticated, light, but rich and delicious all at the same time! 10/10 recommendation, and look forward to supporting Tyler as the future GM of the Miami location 😉

We had an incredible dinner. Diana gave the best service - we couldn’t ask for more! Professional and super friendly. We will definitely return when we come back to Manchester. Highly recommend!

Diana was a brilliant server she went through the menu with us as it was our first time and gave us recommendations which we chose 2 of these and they were gorgeous! She was very attentive throughout the service and checked on us through every course. She made the service and my birthday very enjoyable. I will definitely be returning.

Diana was amazing, explained the whole menu to us and and our food was served very quicky. I enjoyed the meal. I really wanted to experience the beauty of this restaurant and reserved it for 4 people but instead of being in a spot where we could see the atmosphere we were in a small booth. It was nice as it was private and elegant but we couldn't see the main attraction and it was so dark in the booth that we couldn't take any good photos even with the flash on. I ordered the desert at the start but had to wait an extra 10mins at the end for it which was quite frustrating as my two friends didn't order a desert. Then the pudding was small with 3 tiny slices of pear. The food portions were quite small for the price and they added extra expenses. Such as £5 for water. We thought it was free as they offered it to us. Also a service charge of £27. In total every cost £244 which is way more than it was worth. The duck rolls were tiny, and I only got 3 for £13. Honestly I won't be going back, I ended up ordering a food delivery later that night because I was still hungry. It is a nice experience but I've been to a lot of restaurants that give much better value for money

Best luxury dining experience in Manchester! I booked for my birthday lunch and I am so glad that I did! Loved the ambience and the particular attention from the staff to keep our table clean in between meals. Food tasted amazing and so the cocktails! Will definitely come back soon.

We used Tattu today for a business event, and the service and food was superb. The private dining room was the perfect size and provided a fantastic setting to showcase our brand. I can't thank Diana enough who looked after us during the event, the service and space which allowed us to present was crucial to the event and Diana choreographed this perfectly with no delays and our dining presented promptly post our presentation. Thank you so much for allowing us to host such a great event

Went for a work meal, first thing I loved is that we were on a round table so we could all chat with each other. Service was very good, quick and friendly. Food was probably one of the best Chinese food I've ever had. 100% recommended!

I would recommend you go elsewhere if you want to make your money worth. Dishes are around £17, most don’t come with rice or noodles (so that has to be added). I took the shredded duck with vermicelli, and it tasted dull -despite it being in the chefs’ recommendations section: not much duck, preserved vegetable very acidic, overall a bit too salty. Bill comes with sevice charge (10%) and they also charge £2.50 for a glass of water. The staff was reactive and nice, but the most important to me is food quality and price, which sadly didn’t meet my expectations.

The staff was friendly and welcome. The restaurant wasn't overly busy for a Sunday evening, which was nice. Service was hit and miss depending which waiter. Ill manner by taking plates when not everyone was finished eating on the table. The decor was nice and the atmosphere was ok. The food was nice and a good portion, slightly overpriced but understandable as it's in the city centre.

Delicious food and impeccable service. They have a lot of vegan options! If you tell them you are vegan, they bring you a little list of dishes from vegetarian menu that are not suitable for vegans, so it's very easy to choose. Food was amazing and the portions very generous. My partner and I could barely walk after 🤣 Highly recommended restaurant! Also, great atmosphere

Excellent food, however service could have been better! We were a table of 14, but food came out at stages, with some guests having to wait about 15 minutes for the other guests to get their food!

Recently came to this restaurant for a family meal and loved every single moment of it! The food was delicious! The atmosphere was incredible! The staff were very helpful and friendly! We had the Blooming Blossom banquet and we enjoyed every single meal that was included in it! 100% worth the money and will definitely be back when I can! Thank you Little Yang Sing!

Food was great just felt the pricing was a bit unfair. I received great service though! My partner would love this place because they have so many great vegetarian options. Would definitely come back to try more of their food.

A lovely restaurant. The food was delicious and arrived very quickly. The staff are very attentive, and provided free fruit after the meal. Lovely decorations too. We had the beef in black bean sauce noodles, which had so many veg packed in, and chicken noodles

A Hidden Gem in Manchester! After a walk through Manchester city centre, we were looking for something different to eat. Everywhere seemed to offer the usual burgers, pizza, or fish and chips but we wanted something more unique. While wandering down the street, we stumbled upon this place and let me tell you, it was amazing! The staff were friendly and polite, and the place was spotless. **The food? Just incredible!** I had the Thai-style coconut chicken, and it was absolutely packed with flavour—something truly divine. The egg fried rice was also a solid 10/10! The starter King Prawn: delicious, hot and full of flavour, perfect! Without a doubt, this is the best Chinese restaurant in Manchester I’ve tried so far. Well done to the team! We’ll definitely be back.

I came here EXPECIALLY for the crispy chilli beef. I have been living abroad for - long time and always been craving this dish since I left. I researched places that served this and came to this place. I strolled in alone at 22.00 and they were super friendly and helpfull. The place is lovely and chilled out. No rush and calming private spacey place yet cozy. The crispy chilly beef was amazing! Just like I remembered it. I been ill so could finish it but it was no problem to take it with me to the hotel. Honestly could eat this every day. Absolutely recommended to come here and try all their dishes. This was top but can imagine their other dishes are just as top.

Stopped here last minute while walking past and found one of the best hidden places in Manchester. Some of the best and friendliest service I’ve received and even though a small wait for food was 1000% worth it! I got the chow mein of the lunch menu which was an amazing portion size with meat and noodles cooked to perfection. The food came out super hot and fresh! Can’t wait to come back!

honestly, if your local and craving hearty food, this is the spot! we got the thai red curry, chilli crispy beef and 2 portions of rice. IT WAS ALL DELICIOUS!!! the flavour was so spot on, the food was delicious, and the waiting time was great to be honest. my only concern is the portion size, as they’re just a bit small. good attentive service too! the general vibe and classic jazz playing gives it a comfortable feeling. before your bill they give you fruit too which is so cute!! 100% recommend, the food is outstanding

Amazing Chinese in the heart the city of Manchester. Food is spot on! Staff are amazing! Nothing is too much!

Food is good, service is good. We love the Dim Sum and Chinese Jasmine tea The vegetarian dishes are tasty too but we are not sure the spring onion pancake. The price is Just a little bit pricey but It’s a nice dine out experience.

Really authentic Hong Kong style restaurant. English menu provided. Great for Dim Sum. On the par with Glamorous. The service was quick and the food was authentic and tasty. Two of us went and had a selection of dim sum which were of good quality. Overall better than some of the Hong Kong style cafes in Chinatown.

Awesome Chinese restaurant serving a wide variety of classic Chinese and Cantonese dishes. Ordered the salted fish chix fried rice, roast pork roast duck rice and the salted pork chops over rice. Food were prepared fresh upon order and food was fantastic!

Food was average, big portion. Service was poor. We ordered 2 dishes and a dim sum during tea time. When we finished 1 of the dishes and the dim sum, the other dish was not there. We checked with the waiter and they said I didn’t order it🤨 Well, are you sure that I didn’t order or you missed my order?! Finally, we wait for another half an hour that.

It’s been a long time since I last came here. Love the staff here, all so friendly and chatty! I love the fact you don’t have to wait too long for a table, especially if you haven’t booked. The dimsum itself was not bad, I’ve had better from other places. Wasn’t a fan of the ja lerng as it was soggy and had no texture. The ming ha gok was also very overdone. The beef brisket noodle soup was nice though, flavoursome and hearty. The three roast portion was small and not generous with the meats, you only get a few pieces of each meats. Overall the dimsum was average but the service and atmosphere made it.

Fantastic place to experience good Chinese food. It gets busy but its well worth it if you have to wait and its not going to bankrupt you.

The restaurant is located in the center of China Town, very convenient . Every time I go to China town, I stop by for lunch or dinner, the prices are average. There are some very unique dishes that are no different from the dishes I have eaten in Hong Kong. Roasted pork has crispy skin and not much fat. But the shrimp dish sometimes has some that are not fresh

Went there for dim sum in early 2024 and it was not bad. Went there again for dinner a few days ago and the food was really bad. I don’t know why there’re still so many customers and it’s not cheap. The siu mai we had was the worst we’ve had ever had in our lives. The stir fried noodles with crab meat ended up becoming noodles with fake crab sticks, the amount of which were so little that they’re almost unnoticeable. Won’t visit the restaurant again.

If you're looking for authentic Chinese food in Manchester, Happy Seasons is an absolute must-visit. The flavors are exceptional, the dishes come out piping hot and perfectly cooked, and the menu offers an incredible range of traditional Cantonese specialties. We had the roast duck and char siu—absolutely melt-in-your-mouth delicious. The seasoning was spot on, and the crispy duck skin was next level. The portion sizes are generous, and everything felt fresh and made with care. Service was quick and efficient, even when the restaurant was packed (which it usually is—a great sign!). There's a real buzz and authenticity to the place that makes you feel like you've stumbled upon a hidden gem in Hong Kong. Highly recommend booking in advance or being prepared to queue—it's worth the wait. A true Manchester institution for anyone who loves proper Chinese food. (don't miss Jasmine tea)

You know it's good when there's a cue outside!! We came here as a group of 7 so we had to wait a while for tables (Approx 30 minutes), luckily the weather is good! Service is extremely quick and efficient. Food came out nice and hot all cooked to a high standard. Good flavour, decent portions and good value for money. I liked the atmosphere, lots of hustle and bustle but not ruining the experience. Overall a great restaurant with a varied menu that caters for all tastes and top food!!

I recently had a fantastic meal at Happy Seasons, and it absolutely lived up to its reputation! We tried a range of dishes, and every single one was packed with flavour and cooked to perfection. The prawn fried rice was fragrant and well-balanced, with generous portions of juicy prawns. The mapo tofu was rich, spicy, and full of depth—perfect comfort food with a kick. The charsiu pork and pork belly were both incredibly tender and flavourful, with that signature sweetness and savoury glaze that’s hard to beat. But the real star of the show was their signature roast duck—crispy skin, succulent meat, and just the right amount of seasoning. It’s no wonder it’s so highly recommended! The service was fast and efficient, and the atmosphere was lively, giving it that authentic buzz of a proper Cantonese spot. Happy Seasons is definitely a go-to for amazing Chinese food in the city, and I can’t wait to go back for more!

Delicious food and good food portions. We ordered the 4 dishes and couldn’t finish and have to take the rest in a takeaway. The service is fast.

I came here on a Friday evening and had to wait about 20 minutes for a table - not surprising as the place is clearly popular. This is a proper Cantonese / Hong Kong style restaurant, and the no-frills interior instantly reminded me of eateries back in Hong Kong. The food really delivered. The roast duck was spot on - crispy skin, tender meat, and a rich sauce that brought everything together. The braised beef brisket was another standout, meltingly tender and full of flavour. The salt & pepper ribs were nicely seasoned with a good crunch, but the star of the night was the stir fried rice noodle with beef. It had that smoky "wok hei" that's hard to find outside of Hong Kong - absolutely delicious. Overall, the food here is authentic & If you're craving proper Cantonese dishes, this is definitely worth the wait in line.

A nice Chinese restaurant. The set menus are very large and quite filling. I recommend it.

This is by all means the very best Chinese restaurant in Manchester. Food is Cantonese style (mostly not spicy). The quality of their dishes and tastes are as good as they are in popular eateries in Hong Kong or south of mainland China. Excellent vale for money. Fast service and very friendly staff. As this is 'no booking' place, come and join the queue, but don't be scared if the queue outside looks long, as it moves fast (some customers are waiting for their take-away).

It’s been 5/6 years since my last visit and the place is still one of the best restaurants I’ve been to 3 of us went today to celebrate a friends bday and all the dishes were very good Sizzling Cantonese fillet steak was our favorite and the lobster cream cheese Will visit again when next in Manchester

I have no idea about the food. It looks very nice. Unfortunately there was a mistake with the reservation and when I showed up today it turned out they'd expected me 17:30 on a Thursday and charged me £60 for a no show. My error, but I don’t know... If your reaction to this is "serves you right", I'd say it looks good, try it. If your reaction is "ouch, that could happen to me!" be warned. Personally, if it's a genuine error, I'd be a bit more amenable and understanding in their shoes and take the opportunity to acquire a customer. That's obviously not their priority. I won't try here again.

Firstly, I'd like to give the staff recognition for their friendly service. Secondly the food wasn't worth the money, all the starters were deep fried with no taste, just added onions, garlic and red chillies - this does not make a dish "Salt and Pepper". The mains was more acceptable but still not amazing. To conclude this, my local Chinese take away food is far better, the taste, the quality and the price. Here I felt like I paid for take away food for fine dining prices. If the food was better, this would be a great place and I wouldn't mind paying.

The service is exemplary. Food is very good and a large if somewhat expensive wine list. Well spaced out tables. air-conditioning. Spotless if can be polished it has been.

It was an amazing experience at Wings. The staff was so hospitable and delivered from the moment we stepped into the restaurant till the end of our evening. Super good atmosphere and the dim sum was the star. Beautifully made, exquisite flavours and in my mind worth every penny.

The staff are absolutely lovely and very attentive, they cannot be faulted. The mains were nice, however, not any better than my local Chinese takeaway, it wasn’t worth the price. The salt and pepper chips had absolutely no flavour. The restaurant has no atmosphere and certainly isn’t worth the price they are charging, and we will definitely not be returning.

Fine dining chinese restaurant. The taste is good.

Professional service, positive reception, delicious food! The spicy noodles was a good portion and the flavours were bold and so tasty, I had to order some rice to enjoy the sauce more! The waitress was delightful and I was comfortable in their high-back booth seats, creating some privacy and enjoying the plenty of light that comes from their large windows.

Had a lovely lunch time set menu here and was quite surprised at how cheap it was!! The food was tasty and piping hot!! It was quiet when we went as it was lunchtime

Blue eyed panda offers a wide selection of Asian cuisine that is delicious. 🤤 The staff were friendly and helpful. To give a more robust and honest opinion I need to visit again and try a few other dishes. I scored them a 4 ⭐ because I wasn’t blown away but I was impressed with their food.

Visited for an early dinner on a Sunday, without a reservation. We’ve been here a few times before and really like the variety in the menu and how fresh everything is cooked/tastes. Would recommend our starters - the har gow, salt and pepper ribs. We share a mixed vegetable fried rice with our mains and to be honest, which was ok but not different/better enough that we’d do the same in the future rather than fried rice or noodles. My main was kind prawns in oyster sauce and it was amazing, with everything cooked well and my husband really enjoyed his mixed with black pepper sauce. Drinks are on the slightly pricier side but overall, prices are ok. Some of the serving staff are friendlier than others, but that’s often the way. Would definitely recommend.

Chinese restaurant on the edge of city centre. Restaurant isnt huge but it still fits a decent number of people. Menu has a wide variety of dishes such as a small selection of dim sum, rice or noodle dishes and normal main dishes. Tried the dim sum platter and there were only 4 dim sums so it's not really worth the price. The xiao pong bao filling was a bit weird as it was very mushy. Special fried rice: taste was good and had a lot of ingredients. slightly on the smaller side for portion size but still ok. Monk fish bowl: taste was good but portion size was quite small. The fish and onions was fragrant and juicy. Beef brisket in curry sauce: the beef brisket was tender and juicy. Portion size was also on the smaller side but not too bad. In general, the taste was decent (except for the xiao long bao) but portion sizes were a bit small for the price. I would probably advice ordering at least 3 dishes between 2 people. 10% Service charge added to the final bill.

Overall, it was just an okay experience. The food was fine, but nothing to write home about. Service was kinda slow, especially since there were only a few people there. The vibe was nice though, if you just want a chill spot for a quick meal.

Probably my favourite Chinese restaurant. Lovely food, reasonably priced and generous portion sizes. The decor is beautiful, authentic and atmosphere in general is really relaxing. Service is always friendly and the staff are very attentive and welcoming. Lots of nice little touches like the menu presentation, crockery and cutlery. I could go on!

With me being coeliac, finding proper Chinese food with gluten free options is incredibly difficult. So when I saw a video of this place on TikTok, I was really excited and eager to try it out. I visited on a Tuesday with my boyfriend, optimistic and genuinely pleased to have found a place that caters to coeliacs—especially as Chinese food is one of my favourites. However, a few things stood out right away. Firstly, the opening times are very limited—just four hours a day. Because of this, the atmosphere during our hour-long visit felt very quiet and lifeless. Extending the hours might help bring in more customers and improve the vibe. When it came to ordering, the waitress seemed unenthusiastic and uninterested. I ordered prawn toast and asked for the chicken chow mein without chicken, essentially making it a vegetable version. About ten minutes later, she returned to ask, “Which chow mein did you mean?” With only two options on the menu, this somehow made her confused. I repeated my request, which she then questioned loudly with the chef that I overheard. This didn’t feel very professional and made it seem like I was asking for something really complicated when I simply just wanted a chow mein without chicken. When the food arrived, hot enough to burn your mouth, it was extremely underwhelming. The prawn toast was tough, my boyfriend’s chicken in the munchbox was really chewy, and my chow mein was about 90% bean sprouts. The dish was overly salty, which masked any other flavours, and it had an oddly shiny, slippery texture that put me off after a few mouthfuls. My boyfriend tasted it too and felt the same. The bigges disappointment was the price—£46 in total for food that was below average, both in taste and quality. Unfortunately, it just didn’t live up to expectations, and we felt that neither the food nor the service justified the cost. We won’t be returning.

Really enjoyed our meal here. Great portion sizes for the price. Great service from the minute we walked through the door. Food arrived quickly and hot. Separate gluten free menu with lots of choice.

Was so lovely having dinner here, they are so good for gluten free food so my mum was able to eat proper Chinese without gluten which is rare so she was incredibly excited! I am quite fussy myself and usually don’t like Chinese but they had a really nice starter soup and this massive box of chicken and chips so I was sorted. Staff were so sweet and friendly.

Having a celiac en el grupo this place is a gem because they have a full GF menu! My padthai was delicious and also the spice potatoes. We booked in avance, we loved the food (very simple but very TASTY!!) and we’ll definitely come back when in Manchester

Thank you for a really amazing meal and offering safe gluten free menus. I came with my daughter who is coeliac for her birthday. It was such a massive treat and she loved it. They really looked after us and gave her a lovely handwritten card and a chocolate bar. It was a very special experience and we will be back :)

We went back in May and the food was so lovely! We had the duck spring rolls, the vegetable dumplings, the vermicelli, egg fried rice, salt and pepper chips and chicken in black bean. All that and bottle of wine for £70 was a bargain, so full of flavour and worth every penny We had told the staff when we reserved that it was our anniversary and the staff gave us a lovely card and these cute coasters. We were so made up, we'll definitely be coming again after that!

Absolutely brilliant meal this evening at Sweet Mandarin. Our teenager enjoyed his meal so much he ordered a whole second meal (portion sizes are great, he's a growing boy!). We opted for the meal for two at £45 which was great value and every component utterly delicious. Our daughter had the duck which looked phenomenal. We are visitors to Manchester otherwise this would have become a 'go to'. Highly recommend for a nice date night or family meal.

The Glamorous is our favourite and go to Chinese restaurant in Manchester. It's located above the Wing Yip Chinese supermarket in the Ancotes area near the Northern Quarter. There's ample parking in the covered multistorey car park on the 1st floor level in front of the restaurant, with a number of disabled spaces, and also on the open air 2nd floor level above. We usually shop in the large Wing Yip Chinese Supermarket on the ground floor, which has its owned covered car park, when we visit the Glamorous. The decor in the very large 1st floor open Hong Kong style restaurant, which can probably seat about 300 people, is a bit dated, however, in my opinion it serves the best authentic Cantonese food in the North of England. There is a large fish tank, where live fish & lobsters are kept prior to being cooked for seafood dishes, next to the bar and a window looking into the kitchen with Hong Kong BBQ meats hanging on display. Male and female toilets are found at one side the back of the restaurant. My wife and I went for a quick pre-theatre meal this evening before going to see the Moulin Rouge musical. We had our favourite fillet steak on a sizzling platter with Cantonese sauce (the meat was so tender we cut it up using just the edge of the serving spoon and the sauce was light, tangy & not too sweet), chicken with green peppers & black bean sauce (tender pieces of chicken with crunchy al dente green peppers in a light black bean sauce with little fermented black bean providing an explosion of umami flavour in your mouth when you bit into them) and just one portion of boiled rice as it a very large portion enough for both of us. We had copious amounts of jasmine tea with our meal, with multiple free refills of our large teapot, and were given some complementary pieces of delicious sweet tangy oranges together with a complimentary bowl of a slightly sweet sago desert, after our main courses. In addition to going for traditional Cantonese food at the Glamorous we also go for their fantastic dim sum dishes, which are very popular with the large Chinese population in and around Manchester on weekends. Service may not be as polished as in other restaurants, not all the Chinese servers speak impeccable English, although the servers taking orders speak good English and are very helpful. However, we go there for the fantastic food at very affordable prices and always enjoy a fantastic meal there.

Casual weekend family dinner. Service was top-notch as we were taken care of throughout the whole evening. Tea and water always topped up, and excellent recommendations on food. Food was classic, nostalgic, and flavourful. Highly recommended the Pork Chops and the Fish Fragrant Eggplant Pot, best pairing with rice 🍚. Dinner is rounded off the sweet soup and fruits (not too sweet).

Great experience at Glamorous Restaurant! The lady who served us was so friendly and always smiling. The poached prawns were fresh, big and sweet — amazing value £10 only. The soy sauce chicken is a must-try, and they even offer free traditional soup and dessert. Really enjoyed the meal!

Visited on a Sunday evening, fairly quiet time of day. Had the set meal for 4. Prawns were lovley, not soggy at all. 3x roasts were tasty, the spinach With noodles were we/t balanced. If you like proper Chinese food and not just the English versions, you'll like it here.

I rarely used to visit glamorous as a few years ago the dimsum was pretty poor compared to its competitors but i gave it a try recently and it’s surprisingly improved, all the dimsum including the noodles, rice and roast dishes have improved and is surprisingly tasty. With the pleasant experience we had from the dimsum we then came again for an evening meal and it was dreadful.. We ordered several dishes and all of them were mediocre especially the fried seafood which was crispy on outside but very cold on the inside, luckily with the saving grace being the lobster noodles and steamed scallops which were decent but then came the worst dish.. My personal favourite to get at restaurants - sizzling aubergine clay pot with salted fish, I tried it and noticed the fish tasted extremely pungent - bearing in mind I’ve had a lot of salted fish so I’m aware of the taste and different ways it’s prepared, 2 minutes later I felt incredibly lethargic and ran to the toilet to vomit, it felt as like the fish most likely or ingredients in the dish were off as I’ve never felt like this eating out before. I was traumatised and couldn’t eat any further, it ruined my experience. Prices aren’t the cheapest either. It’s a hit in the afternoon for dimsum, clear miss for evening meal at dinner time.

This glamorous Chinese restaurant has a great atmosphere and beautiful decor. The food was delicious and full of flavor, and everything looked amazing. The staff were friendly and made us feel really welcome. I’d definitely come back again!!

Went to have dinner with family at Glamourous tonight, the food was extremely delicious and authentic! Staff are so friendly, kind and very helpful. Price are very reasonable! Highly recommended for a great dining experience, I’ll definitely be back! Thank you for recommending delicious and authentic food. I also loved going there for Sunday lunch, loved all the dim sums there it’s delicious….!!!

An Unforgettable Chinese Dining Experience Absolutely outstanding Chinese food! Every dish was packed with authentic flavor—from the lobster 🦞 to the perfectly crispy spicy chicken. The trout had just the right kick, and even the special fried beef with green pepper was next-level. Friendly staff, great service, and a warm atmosphere made the experience even better. Can’t wait to come back—highly recommended!

We got the prawn toast, sizzling beef in steak sauce, morning glory veg, and special fried rice. All delicious! Perfect blend of flavours. A must if you’re in Manchester.

Absolutely delicious! Tastes just like the stir-fried beef dishes I had back in Hunan. The flavor is rich, the beef is tender, and the spice level is perfect. Full marks — highly recommended!

Lamb ribs are fantastic. Very enjoyable meal. Try the lemon ice tea ⭐

Best place in China Town for me, tastey dishes, wonderful staff and great service. Countryside chilli beef is one of our favourites. A must-have every time we visit.

The best Chinese restaurant in Manchester. Taste real Chinese food here.

So delicious!!!!!!! Love all the spicy food, best in Manchester!

I have been here many times and the food is still top quality. They do traditional dishes and taste much better than the quality you'd get in London. I would say this is one of the better Chinese restaurants in Manchester. Special dishes to try are the hand pulled noodles and sweet and sour pork. The dim sum is also good here as well. The atmosphere is okay, not a huge place but quiet enough to have a group conversation. The waitress was friendly and patient.

I recently dined at Chef Diao, and it was an outstanding experience! The ambiance is warm and inviting, making it a perfect spot for family dinners or a night out with friends. The menu offers a fantastic selection of authentic Chinese dishes, and every bite was bursting with flavor. I highly recommend the Casserole, it was cooked to perfection! The staff were friendly and attentive, enhancing our experience even further. Overall, I can’t wait to return and explore more of their delicious offerings!

Amazing!! The loveliest staff and incredible food options. I went for the dim sum and bao buns, but my friends went for the kung pao prawns and the satay chicken. We were all really happy with our food and the staff were so lovely. Made us feel so welcome and gave some great tips on what to try!

Absolutely delicious dim sum in Manchester. The dim sum is made in-house that you could really taste the difference. They were delicate, fresh and full of flavour! Great service — the staff were super welcoming and friendly, offering lots of great recommendations that really helped us choose. The best authentic handmade dim sum spot I haven ever been in Manchester!

Came here for lunch during work day and got the business lunch. 2 starters and a main with rice for £12 cant beat that. Very nice food, quick service and right in the centre. Would definitely come back especially for lunch as quick service was great.

Only giving one star because it doesn't allow me to give 0 stars! Rudest woman and worst service I have ever experienced. We ordered takeaway just to eat in only go there if you want cold food Worst Chinese food I have ever had horrible service

Pretty good chicken fried rice. Generous portion for take away. I think next time I’ll ask for some sauce. It could use some 😅

We love coming here for the hot pot! We spend a few hours chatting, eating and drinking tea and always have a great time! The soup is flavourful and the options are very good! Lots of fresh vegetables and meats - The staff are always very nice and attentive and the manager/owner is great! I reached my personal best of a measly 11 plates and my partner almost got on the leader board with her 37 plates! ( she's going to try again at Christmas!)

Loved it from my very first visit! The charcoal grill gives the meat such a delicious smoky flavor that you just can’t get with gas or electric. The Korean beef and barbecue sticks were my favourites! Juicy, tender, and perfectly seasoned. The portions were generous, and everything tasted really fresh. The atmosphere is warm and friendly, not too formal, which makes it a great spot to relax.

The food is amazing they have a lot of things in their menu is a buffet and their served them in bowls and I try hot pot they are very kind and very friendly

Came to dine with a few friends for the BBQ - had an absolutely fantastic time! Alan the owner was brilliant, making sure we were well looked after and providing an excellent service along with the rest of the lovely staff members. In particular we really enjoyed the Chicken with Black Pepper and the homemade ice lemon tea, but everything we tried (a mix of the set meal and side dishes) was delicious! All of us were in agreement that we would definitely dine here again - would highly recommend!

Great place. Been here twice now. Good quality food, good price and good amount. Service is spot on too. I can’t fault this place. 👍🏼

I had a very disappointing experience at this restaurant. 1. The staff and even the owner showed clear discrimination against Chinese (mainland) customers, while treating white customers much more politely. That kind of unequal treatment is completely unacceptable. 2. The barbecue skewers were badly burnt and tasted bitter. 3. One of the dishes we ordered never arrived, even after reminding the staff several times. Overall, it was one of the worst dining experiences I’ve had in the UK. Poor service, poor food quality, and unfair treatment — I definitely wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone

Tried the Chinese BBQ and was not disappointed. The place is set up well, not over crowded, clean and nicely decorated. Lots of HALAL meat options which were absolutely delicious. Large menu to suit lots of appetites and allergen requirements. The homemade lemon ice tea was *chefs kiss*. The staff were incredible - we had our toddler with us and they were very accmodative of him. All in all 10 out of 10, will be back again with more family!

A very nice place near the coach station. The selection is nice, for the spicy food lovers is the place. The chicken was not the best, but the noodles were amazing!

Had an incredible dining experience at Red Chilli Authentic Chinese Food in Manchester! Every dish was bursting with flavor—from perfectly cooked duck(halal) , noodles, fish, chicken (halal) , meat(halal) , and vegetables to several other delicious items I can’t even name but thoroughly enjoyed. The variety and richness of the food were simply outstanding. Big thanks to Zhengli for recommending this spot—it truly delivered! The entire Global Corridors project team had a fantastic time enjoying this authentic and satisfying meal together. Highly recommended if you're looking for real, hearty Chinese cuisine in Manchester.

Food tasted soo good!! We had 2 on starter menu, which were amazing, and 2 noodles soups; beef brisket is recommended. Teas in pot were huge, Chrysanthemum smells so aromatic and sweet. Staff were attentive.

Amazing food amazing service 10/10! Portion sizes are HUGE and food started coming out within 10 minutes of ordering

Absolutely lovely meals. Struggled to choose which ones to have! Reasonably priced for a city centre restaurant and tasted really nice. Fully enjoyed it. It was recommended by my daughter, as she had meals there a couple of times so far. Sure we'll be back again 😇🙌🏻

Not busy on Saturday’s night which is perfect for us. They do both hongkong style and Sichuan style dishes. We had 2 noodle dishes and 3 meat dishes.Very efficient service but also friendly. Surprised by the cumin lamb, authentic and also tasty. This is more like a homemade style not a fancy place but we like it!

The best Chinese in all of Manchester. The food is authentic, and tastes always delicious. The service is exemplary (mind you they add 10% service charge to the bill). Not knocking any points but I am not a fan of the egg fried rice here, little bit basic and bland.

A real hidden GEM ! Wandered in for a little lunch with my sister and dad and we were all blown away by the food ! The best prawn tempura we’ve ever had / super fresh sashimi and incredible value. Can’t recommend more.

While I was there, I was served by a tall waitress who seemed quite unfriendly and had a poor attitude. When the bill came, she simply dropped it on the table without a word or even a smile, which felt quite rude. As for the food, I ordered the tempura udon, and it didn’t really taste like proper tempura. It seemed like it was just some random fried items, and it didn’t come with any sauce. When I asked for sauce, they quickly mixed something together, but the chef didn’t seem to know what an authentic tempura sauce should be like. I also ordered fried oysters, and they were quite small and missing the usual sauces you’d expect. Additionally, the sake they served was in a plain glass cup, not a traditional sake cup, which made it feel like it was just any ordinary small glass you’d find at a home goods store. Overall, the experience was disappointing, and I hope they can improve both their service and their food quality in the future.

At this price point, this should really be a 5 stars joint. £10 lunch at this quality, put alot of restaurants to shame. Yuzu Izakaya is extremely decent. The rustic decor and the colour instantly transferred me to a few regular mum n pop joints in Yokohama, Japan. If they did anymore they would have to double the price. And I am very happy with table serviced £10 lunch. Arigato for your service and your sacrifice Yuzu Izakaya. 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Me and the wife came here on a Saturday evening and there was no wait time but it did take some time for us to have our order taken and we had to wait some time for the food (although all tables were taken so this is understandable) but once it did arrive we realised it was worth the wait. Recommend the oyster katsu if it available and the kara-age was delicious as well.

Tiny little place – a bit underwhelming at first glance when you walk in, but what an absolute gem! The food is outstanding, genuinely on par with top-tier Japanese restaurants, and the value for money is brilliant. Everything we tried was fresh, authentic, and full of flavour – definitely 5★ food. It’s clearly a family-run spot, with very polite service and a sweet young lady serving. There’s room for improvement in terms of organisation and seating (which is a little cramped), and the space could really benefit from better ventilation. That said, the charm and warmth of the team shine through, and once the food arrives you forget the rest. Highly recommended – a hidden treasure in Manchester for anyone who loves authentic Japanese cuisine.

Warm, lovely and small place with amazing dishes! Servers are super nice & food is delicious although prices are quite high

I went there for lunch no waiting line. I love the food and service good prices during lunch time

They have a great lunch time offer, which was £12 for 3 dimsum and the main dishes are £10. For the price the dimsum was actually pretty decent, the siu mai skin was falling off though, which was a slight negative for me but the flavour was there. I enjoyed the rest of the dimsum. It was extremely busy during lunch especially with the deal, so the food took longer than expected and it was difficult to get the attention of any waiters/waitress.

We starting queuing before opening time, restaurant opened at 12pm got seated quickly. All seatings got filled up quick, fairly busy place. We ordered dim sums, rice dish and a noodle dish. 3 for £12 dim sum offer not bad. Also refillable, unlimited pot of Chinese tea. Delicious and piping hot food

No Fresh Food; Pictures looks good, Food and Service are NOT Before I came I knew the food isn't as good but got catfished by Offers* Offers* - Spent £30, can half price a selected dishe Customer services were bad, asked what to recommend and despite order 3 big dishes average around £20ish. She has mentioned that it is mostly fridged seafood. Do not expect fresh as we recalled from her and Got forced to order rice despite we don't want to as we have got a dish that contains rice. Food took around 20~25minutes. Thought would have been fresh. But definitely not. E.g. crab ain't, eel ain't and Oyster were fried beforehand. Think before you go. Many thanks

This is an absolute gem of a restaurant! We have tried many Chinese restaurants in and around Manchester City Centre and this is up there with the best. The food is delicious, the staff are very friendly and attentive, and the decor is modern and stylish. Some restaurants are too noisy but this one provides a very calm atmosphere even when it’s extremely busy like tonight when we celebrated a family birthday. I should also commend Pinwei Restaurant highly on its menu; I’m non-Chinese speaking so I’ve had to jot down the Chinese names of my favourite dishes phonetically over the years at various restaurants and then try to pronounce them as best I can, often resulting in blank looks. Pinwei’s menu has clear photos and/or descriptions in English which is totally refreshing and SO helpful. Additionally, I now know exactly how much each item on the menu costs…and their prices are very competitive! Well done 👏🏼

All dishes we ordered tonight were fairly delicious. Roasted duck and the soup that came with it are especially recommended. Beef slices and fried squids are also nice. Overall it’s a Chinese restaurant above average in Manchester.

the char siu in the three roast meats rice was pretty good but the duck was mainly bone and the roast pork was too fatty. the noodle dishes (seafood hor fun + veg crispy chow mein) had loads of toppings but were quite bland and lacked wok hei. the dim sum was also a bit hit or miss - the standouts were the stuffed beancurd rolls (v flavourful and well filled), purple sweet potato har gau (so pretty!) and the steamed brown sugar cake (perfect sweetness and super fluffy). i would pass on the xlb (skin was too thick and v little soup) and fried meat parcel (basically empty) though… overall, it is 100% great value for money not only bc of the lunch time deal but their portions as a whole are very generous. however, i felt a lot of the dishes were just standard and lacked a wow factor. i would come back tho bc i feel like there are only a few improvements needed!

Went with a group of colleagues from work, they arrived early to que up outside as it gets super busy as soon as the door opens. Very busy, all tables full and a que when I arrived at 12:10, I didn't need to wait as my group had already been seated so went straight down. Really nice pot of tea very soothing, and refillable. Starters ordered 9 as they come in sets of 3. No halal options so I stuck to the vegetarian option, vegetarian rolls and dim sum I think. I took a picture before all the starters came out and forgot to take a picture of the mains. We ordered 3 mains, vegetarian fried noodles, beef noodles , and chicken stir fry rice. Big portions shared between 6 people with left overs. I tried the stir fried rice just left the chicken, nice enjoyed. The beef noodles were a hit on the table flavours nice. Unfortunately the vegetarian fried noodles were very disappointing, the noodles were not cooked properly, crunchy and dry, very little sauce and 3 large piece of carrot, some kind of mushroom. Not enjoyable at all. This is the only thing that disappointed in the food. Our friend is Chinese and she did the ordering as the order slip is written In Chinese. We split the total £16 per person cash only there was 6 of us. I would go again but order different as many of the guests ordered meat and since it's not halal I did not get to try all the starters. We went to the bakery next door for dessert.

Lively place for people to check out some street food and trinkets. Some amazing artists showcasing their work and selling copies here as well. There is a cancer information outlet for those curious or have any questions or concerns about cancer. The music made the whole place Lively. It was mildly busy even on a rainy day. I hear it's even better on sunny days and I look forward to going there again. It's in the Levenshulme train station parking lot so getting there is very easy. Many buses stopping nearby too. Wheelchair accessible place and great for going with kids and groups of friends and family. A Saturday afternoon well spent.

Just love this local market. It's on most weekends, lovely stalls and great food with always something delucious veggie/vegan to munch on. Often there's a theme with something musical or crafty. Kiddy and pup friendly which is lovely. Look out for the night markets too as these are also great.

Always love my visits to levy market (as a trader or customer) such a great selection of stalls and very well looked after by the staff. Some places just do a nod to covid security these guys take it seriously while still allowing people as much freedom and relaxation as possible.

Loads of goodies to buy. Music, great food, gorgeous ice cream and even a licensed bar in a horsebox. What isn't there to like.

Great weekly market. Amazing choice of food. Good coffee from Coffee Crank. Don't miss a great pizza from Mio Pizza.

Really good. Just wish there had been more food stalls. Quite a good range of food stalls selling take away. The cheese stall is really good, very knowledgeable about the products. Maybe chutneys, pickles and definitely bread products. Craft stalls interesting too. Great coffee. Look forward to revisiting.

Love the Market!! It's my favourite day time thing on a Saturday >> food is always amazing, the stalls are great and it's brilliant to be able to have a pint whilst you wander round!! Highly recommend that everyone tries the market at least one Saturday a month!!

The quality has gone right down. Dry, flavourless salt and pepper chicken wings with onions. The noodles were overcooked but they were well seasoned. I've been coming here since it opened and it was always tasty and fresh but the last two times I've been very disappointed. I doubt I'll be back

The staff are friendly and delivered decent customer service, I went for the beef curry meal deal. It wasn't great but not terrible either.

I got the Singapore noodles and ribs. Noodles were very stodgy and mushy. My friend who goes their fairly often said this isn't the norm and they are usually much better. I must have got unlucky and visited on an off day Ribs were okay though. Portion sizes were good and price reasonable.

Another affordable Chinese takeaway shop in the Arndale Market. Salt and Pepper Wings with rice, and rice noodles duck stir fry are pretty good. Lunch meals are around £7, cheaper if ask not to have drinks included.

They have charged £0.35 for an empty box to share the food with my 2 yo daughter. (I thought they said 25p but it came up as 35p??) Food was standard. The staff was not particularly friendly. It was second time to grab a meal from them, but I won’t be back anymore…

Good food , and good options to pick from

First time I’ve been here and don’t think I’ll be back. I had salt and pepper ribs which were very dry and chewy. The chips and curry was ok. I also had a portion of salt and pepper wings which again were ok ish.

Being totally honest, we feel like we went to a completely different spa than everyone else reviewing here. Unfortunately, our visit was really disappointing. We booked a “spa access only” visit through Wowcher — yes, it was a discounted deal, but the facilities should be exactly the same as if we’d booked direct. On a positive note, the staff were lovely — really friendly and helpful. However, the main issue was the smell. The reception area had an odd, unpleasant odour — almost like dried urine or something stale, maybe from an old aromatherapy diffuser. The changing rooms smelt strongly of drains/sewage, which was quite overpowering. There were no private changing cubicles, so we had to change in the shower area. The cleanliness wasn’t great either — there were clumps of hair on the floor and it just didn’t feel well maintained. When we got to the pool, the water looked cloudy, which usually indicates poor filtration or bacteria, so we decided not to swim. We ended up leaving after about an hour and a half feeling really disappointed. Such a shame, as the staff were lovely — but the facilities really let the place down.

Staff were friendly on arrival. Our room was upgraded to Superior as we had platinum reward points. The room was standard size, it was clean. The upgrade included a Nespresso machine, (the mugs provided didn't fit). Also robes with slippers (1 didn't have a belt & we only had 1 pair of slippers). We used them to go to the pool so this was awkward! Breakfast was tasty with a good variety. Our room was cold & the Air Con wouldn't increase so we didn't use our late check out. The hotel's location is perfect for the AO Arena but not worth the high price we paid.

Rooms are nice although for the amenities you have to scan a qr code to have them brought up. Staff are nice and the food at the conference downstairs was good. Breakfast was decent. Overall to me it wouldn’tbe worth the price but as a hotel for a business trip it was nice

All seemed very chaotic, almost like their first ever week of trading. Booked as a family of 3, pleasantly surprised to find 2 full size double beds in the room, however it was only equipped with pillows and towels for 2 people. Only portal to order more to room. Used the online portal to order "click and collect" food from the restaurant. Went down to collect and they said the front desk hadn't sent them the order. They were apologetic and offered free drinks for the inconvenience, and then brought the food to the room for us. At 1:30am the aircon started alarming with a very loud beeping. Tried to ise the phone to call the front desk, but it was completely dead. Had to get dressed and go down. They came up and turned off the aircon in the fusebox. Never actually logged it as a fault, though. Next day i asked, they sent maintenance, who simply flicked it back on in the fusebox. Still no aircon. Complained again, they sent maintenance who said it could not be fixed. In fairness they moved us to a lovely suite and offered more free drinks. Breakfast was busy, had to sit in a conference room with no place settings. No orange juice on the 2nd day?! Tasty enough food. Kids hours at the pool are useless, the spa was fully booked. Took away from why we booked this particular hotel. For the price point of this hotel, i was very disappointed with the constant stream of minor issues. Although they compensated us with drinks and an upgrade, these things really shouldn't be happening.

Great stay at the Radisson Blu at Manchester Airport. The hotel itself is excellent and most of the staff were really helpful throughout my visit. It’s also incredibly convenient, with easy access to both airport terminals. At busy times the lifts and front desk can get a bit crowded, but it didn’t take away from the overall experience. A brilliant hotel and I’d happily stay again.

I was given an adjoining room which did not block out any sounds from the neighbouring room. I was woken by those next door playing music early in the morning. Having returned from a working day, I could hear the neighbours conversation as if it was in my room. There was no privacy . I asked to move rooms and was told the manager would look into it. I ended up packing my bags ready to move and headed down to reception as hadn’t heard back. The only room available was apparently a twin which didn’t cover what I had paid for. The staff were not interested in assisting me further and I asked them to check me out instead. They let me walk. No apology and no attempt to rectify the problems. Would never stay here again. Customer service was appalling.

On arrival, after travelling for a few hours, I was due to collect a key card from front desk to get access to the room I was sharing with a friend. They has checked in earlier that day... or so they thought. The front desk staff had in fact not checked them in properly on the system - so when I arrived in the evening after a tiring journey,I provided the booking name and the number of the room my friend had checked into earlier in the day. I was denied access, told that the friend hadn't checked in, despite showing the receptionist the booking number and names... to which they just shrugged and looked at me as though the fault was mine. I was made to feel as though I was in the wrong... I called the friend who said they were definitely checked in, their luggage was already in the room etc. Due to the incompetency of the front desk staff not checking our booking in properly, I had to sit in reception waiting, my friend had to cut short the event they were attending to come back and speak with reception to get clarity. Whilst sat there, getting rude looks from the front desk staff as if you imply I shouldn't be there, I saw a mouse scuttling around... it came right upto the seat where I was - lovely. Video attached. For the cost, the rooms are pretty ordinary for the price, the bathroom quite dated, the only extra facilities were a mini fridge, you're not really getting much more than a standard Travelodge. The staff need to know how to check guests in properly on their system. Perhaps look into the mouse issue too.

Absolutely disappointed with the service at Wingstop city Centre. We placed a takeaway order for our family as the place was extremely crowded. We ordered three 12-piece wings and two kids meals. When we got home — after a 40-minute drive back to Preston — we discovered the order was completely wrong. Not just a small mistake, but a total mess-up. Tried calling them multiple times to get it sorted, but no one answered the phone. This is absolutely unacceptable for a big brand like Wingstop. If you’re running a busy location, the least you can do is make sure the takeaway orders are correct — especially when customers are travelling long distances. No way to get it fixed once you’re home, and no customer support either. Honestly, a complete joke of a service. Will think twice before going back. A waste of time, money, and a ruined meal for the whole family.

The food is really good to say perfect! Very clean staff, flavours flawless, the ranchbis just 💕. I just have one comment that I think you really must take into consideration. The Quran and the music playing at the same time is not really something that would be dismissed. As a respectful place, I think this might be just a slip (I hope so). So please, if you are intending to play Quran, it's either to choose to play that and stop the music or not to play it at all in the store as no body is listening to it. But it doesnt work both of them at the same time. Thank you!

Really nice, the flavours were amazing. Refillable drinks were a life saver having it with the atomic flavour it was delicious but very spicy ! I’d have it again though, the staff were really polite and the cleanliness was good! Overall I would go there again!

Just tried shakes, sweet potato chips and korean style wings. Quite tasty. Service rather efficient. Better take out as seating area is limited.

First time trying Wingstop as my friends and I came to Manchester for the weekend last week. The food was amazing. The chips were very well seasoned and I loved the boneless 😛😛😛😛. Atmosphere wise: it’s okay too many people Staff: I learnt more from them in hospitality than I know from my own workplace

Ordered food for delivery to our hotel, while spending the weekend in Manchester, and was thoroughly impressed! All of our order arrived, portions were perfect and the food was delicious, especially the mango habanero boneless!

Arsalan is very friendly and helping was very attentive and always there for customer with good smile

Beetham Tower is a unique skyscraper, included in the ranking of the thinnest structures in the world. The building was built in 2006 using the most advanced technologies at that time and was then considered the tallest residential building on the planet (the height of the skyscraper is 168 meters). On almost fifty floors there are luxurious apartments of different layouts and areas. Although only residents are allowed inside, it is definitely worth looking at the building from the outside, especially since guides are not needed for this, so the pleasure is completely free.

The cocktails and atmosphere were very nice, the service- waitress was bothered if we ask something and when we ask we never get. She was ignoring us all the time. Makes you feel uncomfortable and unwelcome.

The Beetham Tower is a 47-story mixed-use skyscraper in Manchester, England. Completed in 2006, it is named after its developers, the Beetham Organisation, and was designed by SimpsonHaugh and Partners.

I enjoyed my visit to the tower, the views were fantastic as it was a perfectly clear day. It seems a shame to restrict the public to only half way up the tower though. The bar was friendly and relatively inexpensive for a "rooftop" bar.

Gordon was very welcoming polite and gave us an informative tour which made us want to come back. He was the best bartender we have ever had.

This tower has been in the Manchester city landscape for a very long time. It is iconic. A reference point.

Had an amazing wedding reception here with my son and family Great views over Manchester skyline!

Me and my partner stayed here August 2025, it’s a perfect location and has a very luxurious setting as-well as lots of free amenities including fresh cucumber and strawberry water when you arrive. The staff we’re great and polite however the Spa staff we’re not very attentive and we’re hard to get hold of to book for the pool. Overall, amazing experience and great location. Will definitely be staying again.

I’ve stayed at The Midland twice now, and unfortunately, both experiences have fallen well below expectations. During my first visit, the air conditioning was broken and our room reached over 30 degrees. The windows couldn’t be opened as they were damaged, so the only solution offered was a fan. The room itself was in poor condition — with fittings hanging off the wall and a sink that wouldn’t drain. The spa was also disappointing: the pool was freezing, the steam room lights didn’t work, and breakfast the next morning included rancid juice. After this, the hotel kindly invited us back to experience The Midland “as it should be.” Sadly, the return visit wasn’t much better. The room smelled strongly of damp, several fixtures were again broken, lighting didn’t work properly, and the bathroom sink still wouldn’t drain. For a hotel marketed as luxury, The Midland consistently fails to meet even basic standards of comfort and maintenance. If you want to experience the glamour featured on their social media, I’d suggest simply visiting for a drink in the bar — that’s clearly where the investment has gone. That said, I must commend the front-of-house staff. They are consistently professional, kind, and helpful — truly the best part of this hotel.

Excellent weekend spent at the Midland celebrating my son & daughter in laws wedding. Rooms were lovely clean & spacious. Breakfast was plentiful & fresh. Wedding itself was magical. All the staff we encountered were fabulous. Will most definately be back.

Very stylish older classic style hotel. Quality lobby with automatic door as well as rotary door. Three lifts in service. The room was large in size with a comfortable bed. The location was central and the city was easily walkable. There were many restaurants and also supermarkets nearby which helps. Staff were always friendly and helpful.

A small note for light sleepers: the mezzanine floor rooms offer a rather intimate proximity to the Manchester tram tracks - approximately 5 meters, to be precise. The trams maintain their schedule until 2am on Saturdays, which makes for quite the authentic urban experience. Given the 122 years of history and renowned reputation of this hotel, one might reasonably expect double-glazed windows as standard. If you have business commitments the following day, it may be prudent to stay with another hotel in a quieter location.

Excellent stay with super helpful receptionist. I had a fantastic massage by Sajal and really enjoyed using the relaxation room. The food was nice but somewhat limited for accommodating allergens and not always reassuring practices were displayed.

This is one of the best hotels I have ever stayed in friendly ,bright,airy, lovely decor great food , great location what mord can I say it was so special I would go back anytime and well recommend it to anyone. So close to the station,bars and restaurants and 5 mind walking distance to almost anywhere in the city centre and yhe staff can't do enough for you and the food is great too bar prices reasonable as well this hotel definitely has it 👌👌👌😀😀😀😀😀

I wanted to stay in Manchester for a weekend and I tend to book Premier Inns for weekend breaks. All other hotels for the weekend, including Premium Inn were expensive but this Ibis Styles was affordable, no idea why because it's normally expensive. Having recently stayed in an Ibis Styles instead of a Premier Inn elsewhere, I was happy to book this. I was very happy with my choice, nice clean room, not overly scuffed. Comfy bed, polite staff. I was a bit cold in my room and couldn't get the heating to work but I didn't really give it long enough. I sleep in earplugs so fingers know how loud the corridors were. The bar closes at 11pm, which I think is too early and you get kicked out to finish drinks in the lobby. After first being irritated that we had to move, the lobby was the much better choice, firstly it wasn't freezing like the bar but most importantly, the entertainment was fantastic. The amount of people trying to get in who weren't even staying at the hotel was high, one managed but was later asked to leave. There was an interesting tale about a misplaced passport and a very enjoyable long lasting (3 parts at least) interaction with a food delivery guy and a hungry guest. I don't really like Manchester but it did feel much safer inside the hotel than out and I would happily return here. I'll definitely consider Ibis Styles over Premier Inns. It might be worth noting that the reviews about doorways and showers being tight on space are correct, I think some bigger people would struggle to get through some of the doors, but I'm not in anyway skinny and I didn't have an issue, so I think most people would be ok

Pretty ok hotel, but my room was super cold. When I arrived the heat was switched off. The heater sounded a lot so I switched it off overnight and switched it back on in the morning. When I got back in the evening it was switched off and the room was super cold again... If it wasn't for that, it would have been a pretty good stay.

Victoria at reception was super friendly, warm open personality & clearly loves helping the guest, definately Management Material! Location excellent, cheap parking nearby. Special thanks to Tracy our Breakfast Waitress who was working so hard & looking after us all in the Breakfast room, she was friendly & attentive while keeping everything well stocking, while clearing tables and cleaning table tops, Superwoman, she deserves some positive feedback from Management. No complaints about the room, shower was excellent and a large handbasin made bathroom feel luxurious. Room had a little bit of normal wear & tear, but nothing awful. Awesome location.

Room was small and compact. Quiet even facing out towards the busy Piccadilly Gardens. Quirky decor from the reception through to the room. Perfect location close to Piccadilly Station and with buses and trams immediately outside.

This was our second visit to this hotel this year, and what can I say, it is lovely and clean and has air con that works. The staff are pleasant, friendly and hardworking and the cleaning staff are great also. I was travelling with my daughter who is autistic and needs fresh towels everyday, which was provided. One day the cleaning staff forgot but I met her on the corridor and she was so friendly and I empathised about how busy they had been and helped as we had a lot of rubbish as we had fast food the night before! I was also impressed we had been given the exact room as our previous stay in April, which made it seem even more homely. The room was cleaned and beds tucked in after that. So well done everyone for making our stay great, it's appreciated. Yes it can be a bit noisy with everyone's air con going on at the same time and chatter through the walls, but that's normal. I slept well mostly during our stay. I think more considerate guests use this hotel. I looked at the "Neighbour" Hotel on Portland Street and, I think we will continue to visit Ibis here! Thank you so much for a lovely holiday x

Nice hotel, great location. Staff are very friendly and accommodating. Breakfast maybe needs some work, the hot food section was quite inconsistent with quality over our three day stay. Quirky decor through our hotel maybe not for everyone but we enjoyed the style. Clean room and

My stay here was great! I felt especially safe as you required a room key to be able to access the lifts and saw an employee check to make sure. My room was prepped even before the stated check in time so I was able to go in as soon as I arrived. The staff were friendly and professional.

We had a fantastic stay at the Marriott Piccadilly! From the moment we arrived, the staff were welcoming and professional. The room was comfortable and the bathroom gorgeous. Raj and the team were very helpful at breakfast with nothing being too much trouble. The evening meal was also great. 😊 A truly lovely stay.

So the hotel used to be the Mcdonald brand in sick I stayed many many times. So it hasn’t changed at all since it was rebranded as a Margate hotel. The rooms are exactly the same which is very much based on the old view of the building as an office for BT you even see a telephone that still has like a BT design on it it’s not comfortable or as warm as you would expect for a Four Star hotel anywhere else in Manchester. The amenities in the room are very very dated and basic you are getting fine touches in new hotels which are forced to also just coffee machines soft fires this has hard laminate flooring and not enough carpeting to make you feel like it’s a soft comfortable warm environment. Breakfast was okay but it was very very expensive even though I added it on it was £30. i’m a big fan of the Marriott brand and I love Marriotts all over the world but this one just does not live up to it. It’s just been bad as a married hotel. And it will not cheap. I paid for two nights and it was just under £200 for the rooms and I only bought breakfast in one light as I said which was already quite expensive. One of the more difficult things about this hotel is if you drive here you gotta pay for parking there it’s quite an expensive parking they don’t subsidise. It’s also very very difficult difficult to get to because because it’s all you have to go over a flyover the Mount union Way and if you miss the exit point of the entry point you can take another 15 minutes to get back to the hotel. It’s also very difficult difficult but people who live in MANCHESTER who men know you to try and get to this hotel it’s easiest somet to walk 15 minutes towards town and try and pick you up there.

Excellent spacious rooms, we had a great view of the city with a wall of windows. Staff were efficient. Lovely, buzzing bar and restaurant. Delicious breakfast with lots to choose from. I highly recommend this hotel and will definitely choose here again.

Amazing spacious hotel with superb staff, they really took such a great care of us. Even when there was a last minute booking, the front desk staff immediately took charge, let us enjoy our room and sorted out everything in the meantime. Really kind and customer centric attitude, exceptional service. The rooms are really spacious with new equipment and of course very comfy beds. We had both dinner and breakfast and they were amazing, breakfast had loads of choices and fresh produce. Fun cook making your omelettes with a smile and you just felt welcome all the way. Incomparable with Hyatt and Maldron, had a terrible experience with both, waste of money and 2 days full of incompetence. I am so glad I eventually came to Marriott and will be in Marriott for many more upcoming trips

Extremely impressed by the warm and hospitable staff member Luka. She resolved my booking issue quickly and professionally. Whilst in reception I saw the way she greeted and interacted with other guests and it's rare to see this genuine care and helpful nature. Elevating check in experience and making such a wonderful first impression on what would otherwise be any standard hotel stay.

The room was filthy. When we asked management to resolve, either clean or find us a new room, we waited over 45 minutes to hear back and only then after we followed up with Front Desk. There has been a cigarette butt in the 8th floor lobby for 3 days. No towels or wipes in the fitness centre. This may not be the worst hotel I've stayed at, but it comes close. It's a shame, I put it all down to the General Manager who is clearly absent from day to day operations. If they could walk the halls an inspect the occasional room then this has the makings of a really good hotel.

Great location, very comfortable rooms. Great facilities, lovely breakfast at the premises, with great chefs and staff, everyone has been so nice - especially Raj, who was very attentive and looked after us during breakfast. Highly recommend staying at this hotel

This was our first time staying at the Edwardian Manchester, and we were so impressed from start to finish. The staff were welcoming and professional, making us feel right at home the moment we arrived. The hotel itself is stunning beautifully designed, spotless, and with a lovely relaxed atmosphere. Our room was spacious, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a perfect stay. Breakfast was excellent too, with plenty of choice and great quality. The location couldn’t be better for exploring the city, and we really appreciated the little touches that made our stay feel special. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and are already looking forward to coming back!

Location was perfect as you can walk to a lot of eatieres and clubs, although the club scene isnt very far from the hotel it didnt feel rowdy from the rear facing of the hotel. The spa facilities were nice clean and you could book your time slots. Breakfast was lovely, had a lot kf options and was very spacious and didnt feel busy. Staff were super friendly and so helpful. The only thing was when we were told we could check out a little later my friends locker key was then locked where ours was still working so we had to wait for a new key for them and we'd just come from the spa, so that wasnt ideal.

You can see the full video review on my Youtube channel @travel.stay.explore Stayed for 1 night. Originally booked a superior room but due to having VIP status i got upgraded to a Premium city view room. Unable to check in early at 13:30 - Not a problem but was told i'd get a text message to let me know when my room was ready. My mobile number was confirmed to me and said to be on my account. However no text was ever received. Returned at 16:00 and checked in then. For starters - Great location, within easy walking distance to all Manchester Sites and Attractions, minus football stadiums. Lobby, Bars, Restaurants and Spa look lovely and are very modern and luxurious looking. Had breakfast in the morning and couldn't fault it, great buffet with a wide range of foods also an a la carte breakfast menu if you don't want the buffet. The Room however was a let down. Rooms are now dated and looking tired. A miss match in bedside tables as well seemed strange. Bed sheet had a few stains on it and a hole in it. Bed was comfortable however. Tea and coffee making facilities where poor ( as shown on pictures) Nespresso machine just on desk. Kettle had lost its filter as well so limescale bits came out in the tea. Compared to the 5* stock exchange hotel in the city, who do the tea and coffee making facilities right. The Bathroom was nice, bit dated again but did a job. Bath in the bathroom as well, which is a plus for people wanting this. The hotel overall is nice and i can see the 5* rating has been given on the amenities, however the rooms aren't up to scratch currently hence why i have graded this only 3 stars in my review.

We recently stayed at the Edwardian Manchester for the first time and absolutely loved it. From check-in to departure, the service was exceptional every member of staff we met was friendly, professional, and eager to make our stay enjoyable. The hotel has a beautiful, modern feel with a touch of luxury. Our room was spotless, quiet, and very comfortable, with everything we needed for a relaxing break. We also really enjoyed the hotel’s bar and restaurant great food, lovely atmosphere, and excellent service. The location is ideal for exploring Manchester, and the whole experience felt effortless from start to finish. We’re already planning our next visit!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Outstanding Stay! I had such an amazing experience. From check-in to check-out, everything was smooth and enjoyable. The rooms were spotless, comfortable, and beautifully maintained. A huge thank you to Aleisha, who was super friendly and welcoming throughout my stay. She went above and beyond to make sure I had everything I needed and always greeted me with a smile. Her kindness and attention to detail truly made a difference and set this hotel apart. Great location, excellent amenities, and exceptional service — I couldn’t have asked for a better stay. I’ll definitely be coming back and highly recommend to anyone visiting the area!

This is the second time to visit this lovely placed hotel. I was quite surprised that it didn’t have “foam” (sponge) pillow, which finally I needa buy myself a pillow after the sleepless first night. The room itself is so far so good, despite the facts that I have comparisons on 5 years ago, and obviously that there are some “time marks” due to time flies. One compliment I would like to give to Bashar, the night receptionist, a very kind a friendly gentleman who helped solving problems in time. I am sure this lovely gentleman will provide assistance promptly whenever needed.

Update: Thank you for taking the time to understand the issue and for working to resolve it, that truly matters. I’m very satisfied with how the receptionist and manager handled the situation today. Their professionalism and care made a big difference. I sincerely hope that in the future, room arrangements can better reflect the needs of each guest. And if a specific room type isn’t available, it would be very helpful to inform the guest in advance especially when the request was made well ahead of time, as ours was last month. Old review - Not worth the money and very disappointed!!! We booked a 5-star hotel, expecting comfort and the room type we reserved, but we were very disappointed. After a 4-hour train trip, my husband and I were given a twin bed instead of one big bed for two. I understand that on the Booking.com system you gave us two options, and my husband requested a double bed as soon as he made the booking — and that was a while ago. We didn't receive any confirmation until we arrived. Even though our booking clearly stated two adults, with both persons having the same last name and initials, Mr. & Mrs., doesn't that clearly make more sense as a married couple? On top of that, another unexpected issue: we were placed in a disability-accessible room, which the receptionist didn’t mention to us when we checked in. We never requested this. I fully respect that these rooms are essential for guests who need them, but this setup wasn’t suitable for us. Why? The sink was so low, I literally hurt my back brushing my teeth. Again, to confirm — we were not informed about this change at check-in. We were only informed that we got a twin bed! Can I sleep on the floor, on the ground, in a tent? Yes! But I really didn’t expect this when we paid for a 5-star hotel... For the price we paid and the hotel’s 5-star rating, we expected better. At the very least, we should have been given the correct room, especially since we made the request well in advance. Someone should have offered us a discount for the inconvenience — not just put us in whatever room was left without informing us. It’s so irresponsible. This was not the relaxing start to our trip we were hoping for. Extra — I changed the rating to even lower because in this room, we could hear water dripping the whole night!!!

Stayed two nights at the Holiday Inn Manchester Piccadilly for work, and overall, the experience was underwhelming. The room was fairly standard, but the bed was large and comfortable. The gym was disappointing - limited equipment and not much variety. Breakfast was what you’d typically expect from a Holiday Inn, nothing special. What really let the stay down was the service. On both visits to the bar, I had to wait an unreasonably long time to be served, even when it was quiet. There were staff behind the bar, but most seemed disengaged and inattentive. One lady was clearly overworked and doing her best under pressure, but the others offered no help. It gave the impression that staff morale was low and customer care wasn’t a priority. Service really makes a difference…all guests deserve to be treated with care and attention. Hopefully, management takes this on board.

We stayed here for 3 days and absolutely loved it! The location is perfect, right between the Etihad Stadium and Old Trafford, with Piccadilly Station just nearby, so getting around was super convenient. The staff gave us such a warm welcome and even congratulated us on our honeymoon, which made our stay feel extra special. We also used the (external) laundry service, which was very convenient. Breakfast was great, and everything during our stay was comfortable, friendly, and pleasant. We were truly happy here, and we’ll definitely stay at this hotel again next time we come to Manchester for City match🩵

Nice hotel and very convenient. Near the stations and also near the shopping street and plenty of restaurants and cafes. The room is comfy and clean. Spacious breakfast hall and many choices of food too. Will surely be back again

We’re in Manchester for an important exam, and the hotel staff -especially Yannis-have been very kind and made every effort to make our stay comfortable. The location is very central but still quiet and peaceful — everything is within walking distance. If we visit Manchester again, we’ll definitely stay here.

Tess Brown and the meetings team delivered a great meeting experience for me and my colleagues, including great food, lovely modern bedrooms and en-suites and a top meeting experience. Can’t praise them enough, thank you so much. We’ll definitely be back!

Stayed here when attending an event at the Coop Live, only 2 tram stops away. Rooms were clean and beds comfortable, reasonable price too. There was a little noise from the trams but it didn't disturb us

Very nice hotel, stayed in for one night and then used conference facilities. All staff were very helpful. Rooms were lovely and the conference area was well kept, and well organised.

I enjoy the Novotel brand and the Manchester hotel was a good choice. My upgraded room was spacious with good amenities. There was a pleasant seating area, comfy bed and generous bathroom. I do like the room has a fridge and coffee machine. The bathroom shower pressure was excellent and I liked the feature glass wall. The breakfast was high quality and the selection was very good. The staff were pleasant and friendly. Emily made me very welcome for breakfast. I would stay again.

Great hotel in town. Close to everything. Staff were very nice to deal with and always happy to listen. However. The air-conditioning didn't work well, if at all. The stains on the carpet in the room were dissapointing. It looked like they hadn't been shampooed since it was built. The executive suite had a sofa that nobody would want to sit on.

Absolutely brilliant stay as always. We always stay with yourselves at this hotel as the staff are amazing and nothing ever seems to be a problem…. We were treated on arrival from Ibby who remembered us from our previous visits and he could not do enough for us. Every time we stay with yourselves he goes above and beyond to make sure we have the best stay. He creates a really friendly vibe and is an absolute credit to the hotel with his professionalism. Cocktails in the bar were great and breakfast was also really good and we again will choose no other hotel whenever we are in Manchester as we stay in Accor chain wherever we go but this is our standout hotel in any city so thanks again for a wonderful experience

The staff were excellent - friendly, welcoming, and attentive throughout my stay. However, several issues made the experience disappointing overall. The hotel was advertised as having a sauna and steam room, which was the main reason I chose this relatively expensive option. Unfortunately, neither facility was available during my stay. This appears to be a recurring issue, with reviews dating back months reporting the same problem. If you're booking with the intention of using these amenities, I’d strongly recommend looking elsewhere. The shower in my room didn’t drain properly, forcing me to pause repeatedly to avoid flooding the bathroom. Standing in a pool of your own water is unhygienic and unacceptable at a hotel charging so much per night. Additionally, the in-room coffee machine wasn’t working - a minor inconvenience, but one that added to the overall sense of neglect. Aside from these issues, the room itself was fine and the staff were lovely. Still, the experience fell short of expectations, and I’m unlikely to return.

Absolutely wonderful experience at this hotel. Staff couldn’t do enough to help make my stay comfortable. Reception staff were brilliant, especially Faris who went out of his way to help me. A real credit to the team. I stayed with work but would come back for leisure as it was such a winner. The gym was brill, unfortunately the sauna wasn’t working but to know the staff were working hard to fix it. Room was massive and bed comfy

The service and location are really great — both exceeded my expectations! Unfortunately, the rooms have clearly seen better days and are quite worn out. While the bed sheets were clean, the rest of the room could have been much cleaner. With some renovation and better housekeeping, this place could be excellent.

I have used this hotel for years and will continue to do so. The location is great and the rooms are comfortable but what sets it apart is the staff who always go out of their way to make you comfortable what ever you need. A shout out especially to Pasquale - exceptional service.

Very enjoyable experience! The room was cozy and nice and the location quite central. Nicole welcomed us at the reception desk and she was super friendly, helpful and polite! She told us whatever we needed to know and managed to provide early check-in after a quick registration. Highly recommended!

As a long time ALL Loyalty programme member I frequently use Ibis brand. However have not stayed at this (which used to be our regular) Ibis for a while due to inflated pricing. We did not take breakfast as having to leave the hotel - go out in the rain - to go to the Novotel wasn’t an appealing prospect. When did they stop doing breakfast in the Ibis restaurant? Welcome / staff, compared to Ibis / Accor hotels I stay elsewhere each week, appeared disinterested at best, and welcome wasn’t really a thing. As a Member I won’t prioritise this hotel again as it’s very expensive as a budget brand considering the service levels being absent.

We thought we had booked into the very good Ibis at 2 Portland St which we had been to before, but on arrival found it had been sold to someone else, and ours was now half a mile down the road. The staff at 96 weren't particularly interested. I had requested, in advance, lactose-free milk (not soya, oat or anything like that) for breakfast. The staff on the desk said "Sorry, we don't do that". At No 2 they had gone to Tesco Express round the cornet especially to get some - that's good customer service. Breakfast was actually at the Novotel hotel next door. The restaurant manager there was very apologetic, but no one had told him about the request. He did everything he could to help, and all the staff there were good. The buffet breakfast was what you normally get, no better, no worse. Other than that the room was clean, if a bit snug, and the bed was very comfortable. But Ibis may have lost our custom in a very crowded market of competitors.

Great staff - rating would have been lower without them. Initially allocated a disabled room and requested move. The second room was clean and tidy however air on and TV didn’t work in that. Great location for palace theatre and Oxford road station. Easy walk into town too.

I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to Ibis Hotel for the warm welcome and the excellent hospitality. I would also like to express my special thanks to Nicole from your team. I encountered an issue outside the hotel and needed guidance to the appropriate authorities, and Nicole was exceptionally supportive and assisted me in resolving the matter. My sincere appreciation and thanks to her.

All staff at the hotel were really friendly and welcoming. The room was clean and tidy, and we enjoyed the option not to have our room cleaned everyday. As this helped save energy both for the staff and the environment. Also, we weren't in the room for long periods of time, so it did not need the service. It was an excellent location for the event held at Manchester Exhibition hall, as well as close to find somewhere to eat and drink.

Mobile wi-fi access is conditioned on membership to their chain. They spoof the SSL certificates which breaks all secure HTTPS connections. In a normal world, this would be criminally liable. Not offering minimal secure internet access should be completely disqualifying for a hotel. Can't imagine whatever money they get from selling your data to be worth it.

When you book a Premier Inn you would expect certain standards to be met. The one I have always been pleased by is the staff. I can't say the same about this one. After a long flight the least you can expect is a smooth check in. They made sure to create every obstacle to delay our group's check in. Samantha in the restaurant made it worse every morning. We stayed in numerous premier inns all over the country. This is the worst. The location is great. The staff are to be reconsidered. Book somewhere else !

We stayed here as we went to see a band in the AO Arena. Check in was reasonably quick, rooms was good and clean upon arrival and it did the job. Only thing to mention is to pray before entering a lift as they they sound absolutely awful! Never got stuck though but it was a good laugh. 👍

My partner was having a really rough time not linked to our stay, and the staff went above and beyond at trying to help make him comfortable were they could to make things that little bit easier for him. We got a lot of empathy and it helped make our stay much nicer.

Straightforward Prem Inn, good location for AO Arena, Victoria Stn and Deansgate. Room was ok, aircon was a bit noisy and have reported it. Lobby area a bit of a mess with escalators to the main bank of lifts being out of use. There is another lift from the lobby but we weren’t told where any of them were on check-in. Also, basic wifi seemed fairly weak and slow on 8th floor.

Great place, close to the AO Arena and easy to get to. Rooms clean, beds comfy, breakfast was good. Maria on reception was so kind and helpful and was also serving breakfast. Great asset for your Premier Inn and so lovely with our party of 3.

Great room and location. The shower head was slightly broken, but still worked very well. Only downside was they promoted all 24hr bar and pizzas, but closed it by about 1 to 2am. Other than that, great stay

Pretty bad stay. Super loud. Must be renovations in the room above me. Sounded like a screwdriver and hammer banging in my face starting at 8am. lifts suck. for some reason they gave me a room on the third floor and the bed doesn’t even do the purple premier inn thing :/

The hotel exceeded expectations, every staff member was lovely and couldn't have been more helpful. The room was gorgeous and felt very private - we had no noise from other guests or outside and considering it's a busy city centre hotel that was impressive! The entire hotel was immaculate at all times, we enjoyed breakfast on both days. Fresh pastries and a lovely selection of hot and cold food. Hotel Gotham is the best hotel I've ever been in.

A good hotel to stay at in Manchester. Nice decor but slightly dated overall including the TVs. Good location. The mini bar should have a bit more items to offer and for the price they should definitely have more still water in the room. All the areas could use a bit more dusting given the dark decor. Staff are friendly but reception area needs an upgrade for sure as the back office is visible to the customers and it’s not a good view to say the least.

Exceptional service in a great location. Valet parking well worth the money. A quirky interior and impressive exterior. We held our daughter’s wedding reception in the hotel restaurant. All went smoothly, the evening, food and drink enjoyed by all. Highly recommend The Gotham Hotel .

I booked three rooms at Hotel Gotham as a treat for my team, and it didn’t disappoint. The rooms were fantastic with a true luxury feel — complete with complimentary tea, coffee, Nespresso pods, still and sparkling water. The beds were extremely comfortable, and we all had a great night’s sleep. Breakfast was high quality, beautifully presented, and served with just the right level of “Good Morning”, especially appreciated after a night out in Manchester! We enjoyed cocktails before heading out, and both the Cosmopolitan and Old Fashioned were mixed to perfection. Service from the bar staff was second to none. Spike on reception deserves a special mention too — he was attentive, made checkout seamless, anticipated the need for VAT receipts, and as a fellow Boltonian, he couldn’t put a foot wrong. Overall, our stay was outstanding. The whole vibe of the hotel feels worth every penny. If I were to nitpick: the coat hangers could use a dusting, the shampoo dispenser pump was broken, and the wardrobe/mini-bar light doesn’t switch off properly when the doors are closed. Thankfully, the cupboard monster stayed put! (Room 103) A brilliant experience all round. I’d happily recommend Hotel Gotham and look forward to staying again.

The staff were out of this world amazing and helpful, a really beautiful hotel with really interesting decor. The drinks we had were lovely and the room was so comfy and gorgeous. I’d love to stay here again. The only minor issues we had is the aircon didn’t work despite endless trying. There was a brown stain on the bedsheet which I didn’t expect from a 5 star hotel and the breakfast wasn’t amazing for the price. I’ve had much better at cheaper cafes

Myself and my partner had a beautiful 2 night stay at hotel Gotham in Manchester for his birthday. We purchased a voucher for our stay and it was so worth it. From beginning to end, service was impeccable and staff were so friendly. Lots of lovely little extra touches that made the trip that bit more special. Including a bottle of Prosecco on arrival. Room was to die for! Breakfast both mornings was supreme and the very helpful doorman/concierge secured our late check out and luggage while we explored MCR a little more before heading home. Great location. The exterior of the hotel was getting some rendering work completed so there was scaffolding outside the building right up to the top floor so I’d say just to keep the curtains in the room closed for privacy reasons but please don’t let this put you off going at this time as we did not experience any noise during our time. Hotel was absolutely beautiful from end to end. We will most definitely be returning in the future. Thanks again!

The two night stay I booked at the Hotel Gotham in Manchester for my husband and myself, was the perfect way to celebrate our 30th Wedding Anniversary. It is such a unique, quirky and beautiful place to stay with such friendly staff, amazing food, stunning decor and excellent attention to detail. The room we booked was one of the lower priced rooms but in all honesty it was still a perfect room and I didn't feel I was missing out on anything that a higher priced room would of given. Just a couple of issues though. On the day of departure, the water went murky and the lifts were out of action for a time. However, these issues were dealt with speedily and, as I said, it was on our departure. I would love to go back there, may be to celebrate our 40th anniversary ;-)

The hotel staff were very friendly and extremely helpful, both at evening check-in, and our 5am departure. The hotel was clean, quiet, and had a calm and friendly atmosphere. It worked really well for a young family - which is not always the case at the more budget end of hotels around Manchester. The room was clean, the bathroom was much nicer than expected, and the beds were comfy. We had a really decent night there, and will very likely book again.

Would recommend this hotel! It's close to all amenities clean with excellent staff. We stayed for 1 night 2 adults and a child. The extra bed was pulled out and made up it was surprisingly comfortable! Breakfast was included and was delicious. Big shout out to Ryan he is a credit to you! His customer service was outstanding. Would not stay anywhere else in future.

I was supporting a gentleman on this visit. We had previously visited in 2023 and the gentleman in question wanted to stay in the same hotel. The accessible room was great and absolutely spotless. Breakfast was included and had a great variety to choose from. The best part is the staff, absolutely fantastic and made us feel very welcome, nothing was too much trouble..special thanks to Avvi (probably not correct spelling) and Adam, they're a credit to the hotel. The gentleman I support is already planning a visit for next year.

We stayed for a couple of days to celebrate our child’s birthday. Great location and lovely staff. The sofa bed was super uncomfortable and a lovely staff member Frankie - upgraded us so I could have a good night sleep on a different and more comfortable sofa bed. The breakfast was nice, the toiletries were Dove, and the staff were lovely. The second night on a more comfy sofa bed was much better! Thank you Frankie!

The manager lady at the storage room -which is located behind the reception- was super rude and grumpy. All i wanted was to take my luggage back from the storage room and she asked me wait in the long check-in queue in a very rude manner. Customer relationship management was so poor. You should teach your site staff on communication skills. Even if it was pride week, there was literally 0 posters/ads in the hotel.

Perfect location for me and where I was based for the week, and only a 15 minute walk to the train station. Room very comfortable, great shower! Had breakfast which was really nice. Staff helpful and friendly. Will definitely use again next time I'm in Manchester.

The black lady in the reception lacks energy and was not very professional serving customers. She just minimised language and effort used at all possible times. The chinese looking lady was on the other hand very helpful, she talked 5 minutes to a hotel guest about where to see and eat in Manchester alone. It was a world apart service. The hotel breakfast was very tasty, and enough staff to serve. Recommended.

Stayed 2 Nights, Check in went smoothly and met by manager Steve who was friendly and checked us in with all our requests and was very helpful. Our room was very clean tidy and quiet so we had a good nights sleep on both nights. Shower was hot and powerful. Breakfast was maintained and staff constantly kept the area tidy. Check out was a breeze and Shamilla was friendly and stored our cases for later. Can't fault the service here everyone worked hard and was friendly including the maids.

Booked for 1 night for a trip with some friends, turned up and there was an issue with our booking- staff were brilliant to sorting it out, but then the cards to activate the lift didn’t work for us or anyone else that was checking in, staff again fixed this super quickly. Reception team were excellent. The room was okay at first and looked rather presentable until I laid on the bed and thought the pillow felt a bit off, it was almost crunchy.. pulled back the case to find it COVERED in stains… (shown in pictures) The bedding sheets themselves were clean, but the pillows and mattress underneath were not, at this point we were concerned about the cleanliness of everything else that we decided to leave and not even stay the night.. Holiday Inn express your staff are brilliant and so friendly, but the state of the room was rather concerning.😣

Arrived at the Holiday inn express, looked ok, got to reception to be told that I had booked a standard double room, I had definitely booked a standard twin, the girls on reception were very polite, but told me that I had booked a standard room which meant that they could change it to a double, nowhere in any print did it say this. They did change it to a twin, but the fact that they said I had not booked a twin was very annoying. Dusty room, my son has allergies which set his asthma off and there were no windows that you could open. The shower head was mouldy. So all in all I would not recommend staying here.

A budget hotel a few minutes walk from Oxford Road train station. Cheap, no-frills hotel, offering the standard Holiday Inn Express experience. It’s not a modern property, so feels a little tired, needing some TLC. Breakfast wasn’t as good as other HI Express hotels offer, but was fine. Note that there’s two seating areas. The front desk staff were excellent and IHG loyalty was properly recognised.

The staff are nice but the hotel is run down, with stained carpets and needs a refurb. I was a bit alarmed at the lack of safety consideration as a lone female - my room number was read out aloud in full in a lobby with multiple other guests, I was then put in an a room with a door adjoining someone elses. For this reason I will not stay again.

Run down hotel in a terrible area. I have stayed before when the hotel opened over a decade ago. The hotel hasn’t had a refurbishment since then just multiple coats of paint to disguise the filth. Reception surly and so slow, thankfully you only need them to collect a room key. Security guard on entrance indifferent and asleep most nights. Housekeeping are great and do the best they can with owners that clearly don’t care and just wish to extract cash from tourists. Rooms are dated even by IHG standards these are at least 3 designs behind as such carpets are disgustingly filthy and discoloured, furniture chipped and beyond use, beds and mattresses beyond their life span with ill fitting mattress topper to hide the bed springs poking you in the night. Curtains, voles and soft furnishings all dirty and stained. Wall paper frayed and coming away from wall. Shower was pathetic, supposed to be a power shower and comes out a luke warm drizzle, this could be due to the amount of black mould on the shower head. Toilet fitted with broken low flow flush requiring multiple flushes to empty so defeated the purpose of a low flow flush. Air-con looks to have been retrofitted with controls placed so close to the floor unless you’re as tall as a toddler you’ll struggle using them. TV didn’t work throughout the stay, reported to reception on the 1st day and nothing done upon check out 4 nights later. Breakfast typical IHG bland, frozen pre cooked crap that doesn’t require a chef to re-heat. Inadequate seating for the number of hotel rooms so unless you wish to rise on the microwaves first ping, you’ll be fighting for a seat and god forbid if you try to take a tray to your room. Area around the hotel has been tarted up a little in the last decade however the general vibe and street life has declined dramatically. This area of the city definitely feels unsafe to walk alone from early evening until the morning due to the amount of homeless and ‘boat people’ begging on the streets, hanging round street corners dealing illicit substances or flying through the pavements on illegal e-bikes picking up uber orders. Overall unless you’re staying on a massively discounted rate it’s not worth the full asking price and any of the other IHG hotels in the city would be a better shout.

Early birthday celebration for sister to see moulin rouge. Hotel was so central to train station and theatre with easy access to the centre of Manchester. Staff were lovely and very helpful would certainly go again !

Upon arrival to the hotel we managed to park right outside on the street which was a bonus. When we arrived in reception, the receptionist was very welcoming and friendly and showed us up to our room. They explained that they give a welcome board with a few snacks and some drinks free of charge. When we arrived in our room it was kind of small and the receptionist realised that maybe we would like a bigger room so he immediately upgraded us free of charge to a much nicer and larger room which we were very pleased with. Within five minutes he was back upstairs with complementary drinks and small snacks which was lovely. The hotel is situated fairly close to Piccadilly Gardens and the surrounding restaurants in the area so it means that it is easily walkable to find somewhere nice to eat. The hotel even has a list of places that they recommend to eat nearby with a small description of each place which was very helpful to us. We had a good night sleep and the next morning we were served, to the room a nice light breakfast in the morning which was banana waffles and coffee. We thoroughly recommend this hotel for anyone looking to stay in Manchester on a budget that wants a nice friendly place to welcome them home.

A really beautiful space in the heart of the Nprthern Quarter of Manchester just 12 minutes walk from either Piccadilly or Victoria station. Quiet and cosy with so much attention to detail - Prosecco and nibbles in the evening , cookies and milk at bed time and a cooked breakfast each morning with cheesy omelettes , avocado toast, juice , fruit snd endless coffee. It’s a capsule eco-friendly hotel so bear in mind there are no wardrobes and the shower does not get very hot - but the room is very comfortable with plenty of plugs and amenities. But the real stars are the team here. Everyone was exceptional but a special shout out to Sedine and Dia. Bursting with positivity, coffee and breakfast service to the rooms , always super attentive and nothing was too much trouble. I’d recommend staying here just for the customer service - truly exceptional !

Great looking hotel with some lovely touches. Complimentary prosecco in the evening and cookies at night, nice simple if slightly small breakfast brought to the room. The room was in the basement and was noticeably damp, so much so that we woke feeling cold and damp and didn't have a good night's sleep, the bed was too cold and damp to lie and relax on. Staff were helpful but could not move us as there were no other rooms available. I would only stay here again if I were not in the basement, but for the damp I would give it 5 stars

Great location. A perfect boutique hotel. It’s quite cozy with great ambiance and amenities. There’s a small hotel bar and coffee machine upstairs and downstairs. Breakfast was included for us and it is brought to the room at a scheduled time. Also had the most comfortable beds and pillows. Had such good sleep. Definitely coming back for a return trip.

Stayed here for a work trip a few months back. I usually stay at the Premier Inn, but this was the same price so I thought I'd check out a new place. Arrived late so missed all the little extras for the day. This situ with the £100 deposit on arrival (and check out) was a bit of a palaver. Room was very well presented but tiny, in the basement and not very comfortable. Looked cool though. Nice bathroom. Cold breakfast. Pleased I tried out The Cow, nice change from PI.

Fantastic small boutique hotel, smalls are small but this is due to the nature and age of the building, but its the quirkiness that makes this place. Amazing old wooden floors and are a bit wonky in places add to the overall feel for this hotel. The staff are great, with it being small they know your name and cannot do enough for you, for example we left our bags on checkout and when we went back yo puck them up we were offered drinks, its the little touches that make Cow Hollow so special.

Lowering to 2 stars - hotel kept my £100 deposit (despite saying they would return it). It took several weeks and multiple emails before they finally confirmed they had indeed forgot to return it. Be careful to check that yours is returned if you stay here! I’ll update this if/when I get my money back. Update: almost one month and many emails later they finally refunded me ——— Rated 3 stars, though others in our group would likely rate higher. Pros: The woman at reception was incredibly friendly and welcoming. The hotel went above and beyond with complimentary touches (breakfast in bed, a glass of prosecco, and cookies before bed were all amazing). Cons: Unfortunately, the man working at the bar was quite rude. Rather than chatting with guests, he talked AT us, often interrupting mid-sentence to boast about living in Italy and make sweeping, condescending statements like “all Italians prefer prosciutto to salami” and questioning whether our pizza was authentic. It felt more like an interrogation than hospitality, and we eventually chose to wait outside rather than stay in the lounge when waiting for the rest of our party. The rooms were also a disappointment (honestly the smallest I’ve ever stayed in). There was no desk, chair, mini fridge, or even space to place items (staff had to put welcome materials on our bed because there was nowhere else). We had to manoeuvre around the bathroom door to get into the bathroom, and the door didn’t grant much privacy. They were also very stuffy, but opening the windows wasn’t really an option due to the loud noise from drunken people on the street below.

You can see the full video review on my Youtube channel @travel.stay.explore Stayed for 1 night in a standard double room. As the name suggests the hotel is the old former Manchester Stock Exchange. The building itself is stunning, inside and out. Lobby is fairly small and could become tight and busy at peak check in times, however staff were very professional and you even get a complimentary welcome glass of champagne. Room itself was nice, if looking a little tired in parts, however there were premium features and a well stocked mini bar. Tea and coffee making facilities were excellent as well. Bed was very comfortable and clean. Bathroom was on the strange side and a let down, considering the 5* rating of the hotel, as the shower was not in the bathroom. This meant there was no where to hang your towel. Very strange for a luxury hotel. Enjoyed my stay at the hotel however and would stay again. preferably in a room with a shower in the actual bathroom You can see the full video review on my Youtube channel @travel.stay.explore

Tender Restaurant booked for birthday celebration. Had a wonderfully dining experience. Excellent sommelier Rafael and Byron, maitre'd Guillam and Daphne. Lee busy with 1 assistant in the kitchen. Amazing Palmer champagne. We loved the quality of the nocella olives, sourdough with butter and honey. Followed by oysters and ox cheek croquette. Main we shared a beautiful chateaubriand and very reasonably priced. Finally match cheesecake paired with a wonderful dessert ice wine. Glad we walked back to our hotel. Just such good service and attentiveness. Thank you

Wonderful hotel, beautiful building with great decor and architecture. Amazing restoration of an iconic building. Made to feel very special by the dedicated staff. Loved the bedroom, spacious and high end fixtures and fittings. Superb bed and bathroom. Breakfast was a delight. Couldn't have wished for more. Great experience.

Always such a pleasure to stay here! The building is beautiful and has so much history. Delicious food and drinks offerings. The staff are all so professional and happy to chat. Special mention to Deepak, the concierge, who provides such a warm welcome and great service. We'll be back!

The rooms and location are great but the service and hospitality here are second to none. The staff are incredibly kind, helpful, and funny. We love our breakfasts with Sid and Mario and always appreciate the glass of champagne Nigel provides when we arrive.

Russ was just awesome can't rate him highly enough. He showed us around the entire hotel and gave us all the interesting history. People make the place, on top of the hotel being awesome Russ took it up another level. Wish Russ all the best for the future.

Pure luxary, lovely hotel, clean rooms and friendly staff. A delicious breakfast to. Highly recommend this hotel

Not A trip I live here, in north block and its pretty good. I have been impressed by Judd in the maintenance team. He has undertaken my last two fixes and he has been friendly and helpful and quick, doing a really good job in both cases.

Kampus is nothing short of a nightmare. From the moment I moved in, it was clear that their primary goal is to squeeze every penny out of you, charging for absolutely everything. The apartments themselves are bang average at best and they are unbearably hot in the summer, making it almost impossible to get any comfort. To make matters worse, my heating didn’t work for pretty much the entire duration of my time there, which made the already uncomfortable living conditions even worse, particularly during winter. On top of all this, they increase the rent every single time you decide to renew, showing just how little they value their tenants. Once you move out, don't think you'll get a penny of your deposit back.They charged me for ridiculous things, including excessive cleaning fees and damage claims that were completely unfounded. The staff are utterly incompetent and lazy, failing to respond to queries in a timely manner and showing zero effort in resolving any issues. When I did manage to speak with someone, they were rude and completely unhelpful. In summary, Kampus is a money-grabbing operation that takes advantage of tenants at every turn. The apartments are far from what they promise, the staff are unprofessional and rude and their charges are extortionate and unjustified. I would strongly advise against renting here—it's a complete rip-off and an incredibly frustrating experience. There are far far better apartment schemes in Manchester.

Living in Kampus is absolutely amazing experience. The staff at the front desk are very friendly, especially Raques, who was always so kind to my dog. Every time we passed by, he would give my little one a treat, which made my dog so happy. My dog even got excited whenever it was Raques’ shift, keen to go back home during walk lol.

The location is great, and the apartments are nice, but there’s one guy who works night shifts sometimes, and the way he talks to me and handles things feels so unprofessional and rude. It makes me feel unwelcome in my own apartment!

Lovely experience, we had a viewing with Faye and she was super nice and helpful. The amenities and facilities of the building are amazing and the flats are really spacious.

We lived in Minshull House (small Victorian warehouse building) for a year, and it was honestly our best renting experience ever. The neighbors were quiet, and we didn’t have many issues with outside noise thanks to the triple-glazed windows, though I was initially worried because of the nearby clubbing spots. It’s great that they are pet-friendly, usually it’s an issue to rent a place when you have cats. I loved the green landscape design, the amazing Pollen Bakery (I’ll miss it dearly), and the care taken to preserve the historical features. I wish there were more places like Kampus instead of soulless glass buildings. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly, always brightening the day. Bills were as expected, and there were no additional charges when we left since we cleaned thoroughly and didn’t damage anything. We had to move back to London due to work changes, but I already miss Kampus so much. It was a superb experience compared to renting from private landlords.

The best in town! The reception staff, Frankie, Faye, Chris and Nicole Chi (Leasing Head) are the most helpful and pleasant people I ever met! Trust me, if it's coming from a hotelier who marks every criteria, this is the place you call home! I will definitely miss the people of Kampus and the flat once I go back home!. Thank you Kampus! You have a wonderful staff and for making my stay a memorable one! <3

A fair mix of producers of both food and crafts, including many long-term attendees and a solid scattering of newcomers. It is worth a visit; I recommend engaging with the market holders, many of whom look hopeful but quiet! New stalls often add to the standards, and it's nice to see what they offer. I've never regretted a chat or buying something that's a bit of an indulgence. Often, artisan-type stalls will be open to commission work and one-offs. Great pies — usually from a couple of stalls, including what I call topless/bottomless pies, akin to substantial sausage rolls. Lovely embroidery and knit work. Some really nice art. Tasty ice cream. Good coffee. And, being on Shaw Road in Heaton Moor, it's on or adjacent to streets with fixed shopping options that are well worth a visit. A solid assortment to see and engage with. Always seasonally adjusting. Consistently worth a visit.

Love it! Lots of incredible homemade foods to buy. Things for your family dog (plenty there today) and lots of other things that people make and produce. Support your local businesses everyone. I bought bread, pizza and STICKY TREACLE PUDDING! Yum yum.

Nice market. Lovely atmosphere. Less hipster than some other artisanal markets. Obviously some stalls set their prices on acid e.g. £2 for a scone or whatever, but some wonderful food. I can particularly recommend the Nepalese momos.

Nice local market, lovely local products for house, deco, tasty food and nice plants, once a month, (1st Sundays) worthy to visit! Good atmosphere too! This last time more stalls with products. Lovely cakes!

Had a lovely walk to Heaton Moor Producers Market today. There was plenty of fresh produce to choose from. Pies, sausage rolls, bread, cakes, cheese, meat, olives and humus. Plenty of artwork, jewellery, pottery and a Ukulele band. Well worth a visit. See you all next month.

Great little market, lots of food to buy and home made produce stalls, artists and pet stalls to make but a few, well worth a visit. Held on the first Sunday of each month.

Lovely vibey artisan market with an eclectic range of crafts, plants and international cuisines. Helpful and friendly stall holders happy to offer recommendations and explanations.
