Looking for a hotel in the city centre to stay over after a Christmas party
Premier Inns etc were on average £100 so I looked a little out of town and found the Lansdown. Easily accessible by bus (approx 20mins) and a good price (£40)
Be aware you are paying a cheap price for a cheap hotel
The foyer and bar are nice and the staff were friendly. However the corridor to my sub-terranian room was like something from a Russian prison. The room itself was average size but was clean and sufficient. The bathroom was lifted straight from a prison cell and in need of modernisation but again was clean and sufficient and in full working order
Breakfast was small - two sausage, two bacon, a spoon full of beans and toast and coffee. But for £4.50 you can't really complain
Be aware if you expect Premier Inn quality you will be disappointed but if you appreciate you are paying less than half the price then the hotel was fine

I'm afraid that this is one of the worst hotels I've been to.
The carpets are filthy and the fixtures and fittings should have been replaced at least five years ago.
Perhaps the worst issue was the over-powering smell of air freshener.
On the good side, the staff were friendly and helpful, but I won't be staying there again, and I can't recommend it to anyone else.
And the moral of the story is - don't get bounced into booking a room before you check out Trip Advisor - I won't again!

Foyer is fine, but wiring looks a bit suspect. Corridors OK, room very shabby. No telephone, although it is advertised in the brochure in the room. Overhead lights only, no bedside lights. Top of toilet cistern and foot of pedestal both broken. Extractor in bathroom not working, so whole suite misted up. Shower was good, with plenty of hot water, but cubicle was small and shower head was 5' 6" high. Decent size pillows, two each, but very hard, as was the bed. We brought our own pillows, as experience from Travel Lodge has taught us. Cooked English breakfast was good and prompt. Bar has basic amenities and quite pricey, (for the student area- lots of cheap bars 2 minutes walk away). For the room prices, you get what you pay for. However, biggest problem is the noise. Wilmslow Road is deafeningly noisy, even with the windows tight shut - and we were 3/4 of the way to the rear, at the side. Also not helped by the Red Rum night club in the basement, Mon -Sat until 3 a.m., which you can hear quite distinctly, and we were on the opposite side of the building from the entrance.

We had a good stay - excellent value, cheerful staff and with a bus stop outside with zillions of buses. Comfortable rooms and bed - good shower. Happily recommend. Where Jcurlsalot got his/her opinion from is beyond me - must have been a different place - and obviously has time on his/her hands. Use them
