The dorm room that we stayed in conveniently had en-suite toilet and shower. However you need to vacate your room at 1030 and you are not allowed back into it until 1700 (due to no staff during the day). There is a breakfast included (but no bread). Bedding is included for an extra 5 pounds in the smaller dorm rooms (but no towels). There is a computer with free internet (but no Wi-Fi). You can use the kitchen which is clean and has plenty of utensils (no meat allowed). There is a living room (but no TV). Overall I would say our stay was a peaceful, pleasant but somewhat spartan experience. It is operated more in the spirit of youth hostels of old rather than the comfortable backpacker hostels that are ubiquitous in popular destinations worldwide. And with the policy of 1030 kicking out time Mama Wierdigans is indeed aptly named.

Whilst the main purpose of this place is for outdoor activities for troubled/vulnerable youths and that kind of thing, it's also a great place to stay in hostel terms. Right in the centre of Castleton, 2 miles from Hope station, the accommodation was reasonably priced and pretty good - 6 bunks to a room, with each room having an en-suite shower/toilet plus two sinks. And a decent shower at that. On top of that, the building have a shared lounge / kitchen area. Given we were 25 blokes, the staff seemed pretty relaxed, e.g. nobody complained when we went to the teepee thing on Sat night and started a fire there. They do packed lunches if you're walking up the hill or whatever, as well as catered meals if so desired.

Mottram Hall offered that along with some team building experiences. Unfortunately, it is a bit out of the way. The rooms seem to vary depending on which portion of the building you end up. My room was decent - king bed, reasonably sized bathroom, although only a view of the parking lot. The bed was comfortable but the room was hot. The food at the restaurant was ok. Breakfast was included (along with WiFi) and probably the best part of the stay. I managed to try a good selection of the dinner menu but wouldn't rave about anything. The bar area is unique and a good place to relax and talk. Our team building was archery. The instructors were awesome and everyone had a great time. I even managed to get a good photo of myself impersonating Robin Hood! Cliff notes: Nice place to stay, but a bit out of the way. A solid location for a corporate outing.

Mottram hall really is a magnificent venue. Devere have properties all over the UK each with their own identity.With Mottram as soon as you walk in, regardless of whether you recognise the Georgian architecture or not a grand feeling will wash over you. You will be sucked in and helplessly emerse yourself in the melodramatic decor, from the oil paintings on the wall to the carpets which reminded me of the shining. Must admit, the paintings on the walls were slightly haunting, but then again we all know of my love for the horror genre. One particular painting I know for a fact upon my second glance piercing eyes in the painting followed me as I passed. I would probably need the hotel to be noisy and full if I ever stayed here, just to feel safe from any ..... er.....ghosts??!! All speculations of Mottram hall being haunted aside the place has alot to offer. The restaurant serves great food and the service is also good with friendly and approachable staff. Nathaniel's restaurant an AA Rosette Award winning restaurant's great for fine dining. The focus is on classic English meals but I hear they are changing the concept slightly, introducing a buffet style arrangement with a wide variety of things on offer. The grounds surrounding the Hall are vast with an array of activities available such as a 7000 yard championship golf course and clay pigeon shooting. There is also a spa and leisure club where you can work out or enjoy a range of treatments. It also seems an ideal wedding venue. So perhaps this is one yelp for the future. Some years down the line when the waist line and bank balance are both slighter bigger, and your post code starts with SK10.... Even before then for a very very special occasion or to treat someone take them to Mottram hall. Beware though ask for directions because I got hopelessly lost despite having a sat nav :DD I would happily book a couple of nights here go enjoy the day activities on offer and do a horror movie marathon at night any one fancy it ???

The location is excellent and just about a 10 minute walk to everything from Piccadilly to Canal Street.

My room was a standard room, the bed was huge and generally the room was nicely decorated. It did seem a little tired though and slightly worn in parts - the desk had a weird stickiness to it on the edge which was a bit off putting. The bathroom though was spotless and the bath totally sparkled. I ordered room service which was easy and arrived within about 20 minutes. The food was excellent which was good to see as I've had the Mal Burger in Glasgow and this one was just as good. It has relish with it that is crazy delicious, it tastes a little like McDonalds sauce but in a good way, if that's possible. They get an extra star just for that. Overnight the bed was comfy, good amount of pillows and a warm doona (duvet). Downside was that there seemed to be quite a lot of doors opening/closing in the hall which I found disruptive even though I normally sleep through everything. Breakfast was good but I only had time to sample the continental. I'm not sure I'd book to stay here again when I return to Manchester as it didn't have much to it to entice me back but it was pleasant enough for my overnight stay.

It's hard to think of a better hotel to stay at while visiting Manchester. The Malmaison is part of…read morea 13 strong chain that has hotels sited in large UK cities. The Manchester branch is situated about three minutes from the Piccadilly Station and very convenient to all major transportation in the area. The hotel's bones come from a 1851 era building that served as a factory and warehouse. They've added on a modern wing to the building, and other than the lovely street facade you'll be hard pressed to find original details. None the less, the interior does not disappoint, with heavy usage of strong grey, black, and purple colors in the rooms and hallways. It's a thoroughly modern palette that feels posh, not stripped down. Brittany A. and I checked in after arriving on a busy Sunday afternoon. The proximity to Piccadilly Station makes it an attractive location, especially since we were lugging an extra large suitcase and dog in tow. Check in was fast, however they are sticklers for a 3PM check in time. We showed up at 2:50PM and had to wait ten minutes for our room to be ready. No worries though, the staff took our luggage for room delivery while we enjoyed coffee from the attached Starbucks. The hotel is dog friendly, although they don't go out of their way to advertise the fact. We paid £10 extra for our one night, and a large dog bed and bowl was awaiting our pooch in the room. Our digs were a large corner room on the fourth floor (there are five total). It featured a large king sized bed, desk and chair, two large lounge chairs, a 40 inch LED television, large closet with a refrigerator, and a bathroom with both tub and a walk-in shower with rain-shower head. The bed is a major highlight. The mattress is a Sealy, firm but comfortable, and the linens and duvet felt brand new. I could have used a couple of extra pillows though. I had one of the best nights sleep in awhile on the bed, and I could see myself coming back just for that reason. A minor complaint of the room is the lighting. Coupled with the setback of the sink, it was quite difficult to shave properly in the morning. Check out is generously at noon, giving you enough time to pop downstairs for breakfast and get ready at a nice pace. Our room package (a steal at £105) included two glasses of prosecco from the lobby bar and continental breakfast. The muesli with fresh fruit and granola is a real standout at breakfast. The coffee is weak for my tastes, but at least the Starbucks is a few steps away. I haven't felt this pampered since staying at the Mondrian in London, and at such a bargain, you'll have more pounds to enjoy in Manchester. Overall I can't recommend the Malmaison Manchester enough. It has character and charm (check out the canal running underneath), and a high level of service that will make you feel well treated.

This was really very loud and the sound also happened to echo throughout the space. I complained to the receptionist who replied that 'no one else had ever complained about this before.'

The club rooms also have separate sleeping quarters and a nice couch, desk and table with chairs. The room has a couple large flat screen TV's with a good amount of channels. There is an ironing board, small refrigerator, hot water heater and coffee machine. Everyday they drop off a couple cookies and chocolates. There is a restaurant on the ground floor which offers room service and plenty of meeting rooms and banquet halls. With the club floor access, I had access to the club lounge where you could have a variety of beverages and free breakfast. I believe from 18:00-20:00 they have appetizers and free alcoholic beverages available. Nice views of the city from the 8th floor lounge. Tip: Join the IHG rewards to earn night stays and access to the club lounge for FREE drinks and appetizers.

Radisson Blu Edwardian Manchester is one of the few luxury "five-star hotels" in Manchester…read more Located on Peter Street, just off Deansgate in Manchester city centre this stunning hotel, opened in 2006 is somewhere I've wanted to visit for a while. In the past, it has even been home to footballers including Benjamin Mendy, Leroy Sane and Zlatan, it is also a regular haunt for away football teams including PSG who stayed here ahead of their game versus United, I even managed to see Kylian Mbappe in the lift! Considering this is a "five-star" hotel, it does sometimes have good, affordable deals, I paid £100 for my room on a Sunday in early February, with breakfast costing just £12.50 more for two people, but rooms do often go much higher often costing between £126 and £200, and sometimes going much higher than that so the hotel is generally on the pricey side most of the time. I still don't understand why third-party booking agents are so much cheaper even by 20%+ in some cases, which was the reason I booked my reservation through Hotels.com Check out is far too early at 11, but they had no problem extending it to a more suitable time. Upon arrival at the hotel, I was greeted by a lovely employee who helped me into check-in and then shown me my room, kind and helpful, making sure I had everything I needed, including lowering the card hold from £100 to £1.50 because I didn't plan on any extras. The service in most cases was impeccable, one of the maids even offered to turn the bed over after emptying my minibar. The hotel lobby is also stunning, I was offered water on check-in which was infused with mint and lemon and tasted great. There was also two bottles of complimentary water in my room including fresh fruit accompanied by a personalised, hand-written welcome note, a lovely touch. Sadly they could only place me on the second floor, however, the room seemed to be mostly quiet as there were multiple doors between the lift, there was standard corridor noise but this wasn't as bad as other hotels, every door and lift in the hotel did require the room key - inconvenient but a safety feature. This hotel is stunning and modern, with large smart TVs including all Sky Sports channels (best TV in a hotel!), USB and European charging plugs. (I would have liked one closer to the bed!) The room also has a nice glass desk which is a perfect, spacious work area. Other modern features include a switch to open and close the blinds in the room, as well as a "do not disturb" switch rather than the sign which is used in 99% of hotels. I also liked how the hotel relied less on natural light which many modern hotels do now, hence having lights around the room including above each individual bed which can be turned on/off in parallel, making the room much brighter & nicer. I found my room to be warm and spacious, the heating system was easy to use and much quicker than other hotels I've stayed in again. The large bathroom with a stunning walk-in shower also was excellent. Information provided to guests from the excellent staff at reception and even through the live-chat system either with a senior hotel staff member or Edward, the virtual assistant which can answer most problems instantly which all hotel guests get. If the issue is too complex for Edward, the hotel gets back to you quite quickly such as when I had an issue with the fire drill - I was phoned in under an hour to confirm it is generally around 2 pm on a Monday. The hotel operator when needed, answered the phone quickly even at busy times. My room was almost perfect with a great TV and a comfy bed. I would have liked: having a pen instead of a pencil, earl grey tea in addition to English Breakfast & Chamomile and a larger bed. (I was given a room with two twin beds.) The tea however from the high-end Newby brand was fantastically luxurious. The wi-fi was super fast, with download speeds of around 90 Mbps, it is by far the fastest wifi I've experienced in a hotel. A decent breakfast is served in the Peter Street Kitchen between 7 and 10:30 Monday-Saturday (+1/2 an hour for Sundays & bank holidays). I added it at a reduced rate of £6.25 from £20. (see https://www.yelp.co.uk/biz/peter-street-kitchen-manchester) Overall with a comfy bed, I did have a decent sleep but struggled down to the size of the bed and slight corridor noises. I was told it wouldn't be possible to put an extra bed into a double room - therefore I was offered an upgrade for my next visit to the hotel later that week to the stunning Junior Suite. It was simply spectacular with a huge, comfy bed, an even bigger TV, coffee machine, a personalised housekeeper & more. In over 2100 reviews and close to 50 hotel reviews, I've never seen a hotel like this - luxurious, fantastic and with my only complaint is there's nothing to complain about, so with great delight, I am awarding the Edwardian a coveted five-star rating with the only main improvement being to keep working at this standard.
