Stayed here for one night whilst going to see a band at the Manchester Academy. I intentionally avoided any reviews before hand as I didn't expect much and didn't want to be put off. When we arrived we were told of some kind of mix-up with the room booking. It wasn't very well explained but 'mattresses on the floor' and... More

I accept that this is a "budget accommodation" option, and my expectations were not high. However - the room we stayed in was bordering on a health and safety nightmare. An overview: The shower curtain was BLACK with mold and mildew, almost a foot high in some places The toilet leaked from the bottom whenever the shower had been turned... More

I just got back from an overnight stay in Manchester and decided to stay at the Walkabout Inn, Quay Street. It cost me £35 for a private double room with en-suite. I was visiting for a wrestling show at the student union which was to be followed by a televised showing of the WWE Wrestlemania show, finishing at 4am. Arriving... More

Stayed here for 2 nights in December with a friend for a Girly Xmas weekend. I really don't see what the fuss is all about. Yes it's very basic but what do you expect for £11 a night? It's got a bed, shower, toilet & heating, what more do you want? Yes you can hear the music from the club... More

The first time i stayed here, it was just for somewhere to put my head down when we got in after a heavy night, so never realised how bad it was. THIS TIME was a totally different scenario. We went to watch the lion king after eating at a Cantonese buffet and couldn't face drinking any more alcohol, so we... More

I spent 1 night at the Walkabout in Manchester with 3 more friends in 1 room. We picked up our keys from a very friendly lady at the reception. It took us a tiny bit of time to find it because the main entrance leads you inside the lounge which is very comfortable (a lot of space) and they show... More

DO NOT stay in this hotel it is disgusting and needs closing down!!! The place is filthy and everything is broken including beds and sinks!! Chewing gum on carpets and poo on walls!! Ended up with a refund as we could not stay there

We’d read a tonne of reviews about this place so knew what we were getting ourselves in for. I called up beforehand to ask about the bedbugs – the lady told me there were bed bugs but they’ve fumigated and haven’t had reports since. There were big stains all down the walls, the room was really dim lit by only... More
