We stayed here as part of a football trip to see Man Utd beat Aston Villa 3-0.The trip was booked by somebody else and part of a package. Very central.

“Portland Thistle Manchester”

Good hotel, location, food and service. The only reason I have not given it a score of 5 is due to the size of the swimming pool. The photo on the website gallery must have been taken at a very clever angle as I took my trunks aiming to swim, but when I found the pool, it is only two... More

“Decent enough hotel, though the room was small.”

Reviewed 3 May 2013

Stayed here on business in April 2013. Company paid for it all so I can't really comment on value for money but the room rate of £65 per night seemed reasonable value for a hotel of this type in Manchester city centre. Location-wise the hotel was perfect for what I needed. I didn't have much chance to explore Manchester but... More

“Small dated room”

Reviewed 1 May 2013

The room was extremely small and quite stuffy. Bathroom was quite dated with the flowing and bath having several marks that were unpleasant. Also because the room was so small the air com unit blew right above the bed making it difficult to get comfortable. Breakfast was of standard buffet variety, however disappointingly someone had put out BBQ sauce instead... More
