Oddly unwelcoming guest, mocked me for using Expedia upon entry to the property. Laughed about me essentially getting scammed for using Expedia and instructed me that I wouldn't be having breakfast instead of offering it to me. Tiny bathroom with a tiny shower. Instructed that you are forbidden from bringing food in to your room. Upstairs room had TV on full volume until 3am (it has been possible to restrict certain volume levels on TVs for over 20 years to prevent this issue). Poor parking at property. I've paid less for beautiful and professional boutique hotels. I reccomend you choose somewhere else to stay!

I asked to leave my large backpack behind the counter as check in was at 4pm. The gentleman kindly let me check in just after 1pm so I could attend the festival I was attending on time!
Very helpful and kind staff, the room has everything you need, very clean and well decorated, located just a couple minutes walk from the train station.
Will definitely stay here again when next visiting the Manchester area!

Hairdryer, kettle and tea and coffee was available in room which was also useful. The room was cosy and bed was comfortable however we were in a room with a door that led to another, the host did show us the room and informed us about this however we were able to hear the people staying next door quite easily due to this as it sounds like their bathroom was the other side of the door/wall. Parking is available however it can be difficult to find an actual space if arriving late. Nonetheless the stay was good and was definitely budget friendly, would recommend .

It was ok

I stayed one night on a business trip. Swift check in. Staying in a single room which was adequate but was kept awake by the guest upstairs walking around on creaking floorboards for about half an hour at 4am!
Bed was ok but far from the most comfortable I've stayed in (28 nights away in the last 5 weeks so plenty of experience of properties at this price point!)
The saving grace was the the property has free parking and is walking distance to a fabulous restaurant (Noir Steakhouse) which is definitely worth a visit.
Didn't have breakfast so can't comment on that.

This was my third stay at the Ascott and I will keep coming back whenever I visit my family in Manchester. As an American I very much appreciate the things that make it different from the big hotel chains. It is quiet, it is personal, it is comfortable and to me “very British” which is a good thing. The rooms are all different in style and decor. They are comfortable tho and have all the features and amenities described. The overall feel of the hotel is that of a large comfortable home, not the cookie cutter institutional style of hotel chains. Breakfast is available and served in either a sunny breakfast nook or a larger sitting room. There are several menu choices but I always have the English Breakfast - which is tasty and a satisfying way to start the day. The inn keeper and his team are friendly and welcoming.

A few things to keep in mind. Pay attention to the check in hours- it’s a small inn so make sure you check in during the hours noted. Once you have your keys you can come and go as you please. There is off street parking but don’t hog the space - be respectful of the guests who will need to squeeze in after you. If you do want breakfast, reserve it when you make your room reservation - they plan and purchase accordingly so have little flexibility for last minute changes. If you are planning to have a noisy gathering during your stay, you should look elsewhere - this is a place for a quiet rest to prepare for a busy day!

Can't comment much as really only used it as a bed for the night. The check in is too late though at 4pm and check out very early at 10.30 even though it says 11.00 am on the booking.

I think breakfast should be offered as standard, never been to this type of establishment before and no breakfast offered it is for all purposes a B&B, only offered at extra cost. Room was quite pricey anyway for what it was.

Heating is centrally controlled and wasnt turned on until a while after I arrived. If you come in late at night room will be cold and turned off promptly in the morning, so make sure that you have had your shower.

One night in the room I was in is enough, it did the job for what I required.

I loved my stay at this small, cozy hotel. I picked this hotel for two reasons; I needed something close to my family; I was looking for something \"English\" and not a global cookie cutter room. I never regretted my choice. The room itself was comfortable, clean and well equipped with a full bath, WIFI and a nice TV. The rest of the hotel is also very nicely appointed. The breakfast room is bright and sunny (well, as bright and sunny as it gets in England) and also comfortable. My room choice included a full english breakfast - which I very much enjoyed. The innkeeper and his staff were welcoming and I looked forward to that breakfast moment to prepare myself for a day of energetic grandkids and touring the countryside. Parking is off-street so you dont have that to worry about. The Monton village center is short walk and on the one day I was on my own for dinner, I was spoiled for choice.
So, on to the \"English\" part. This is a small, well run hotel - not the Hilton, so one cant expect 24/7 anything you want service. Check in during published hours but after that you will have your own key to come and go. I found the innkeeper and his staff to be very pleasant and helpful in all my interactions with them. There is an intimate feel to the hotel which sets it apart from the hotel chains - I felt like a guest and not a statistic.

Then told us that the breakfast is only an egg sandwich sent to our room and we could not cancel and get a refund becuase too late.

The room was clean and pleasant but I payed extra for a nicer room and I didn’t see evidence of this. The bathroom was a little shabby and the bed was very uncomfortable, lumpy and sloped to the outside.
The most annoying thing about the hotel was that they allowed someone to check in (the room opposite us) after 10.30pm and the guy checking them in (presumably the manager/owner) was very loud and was talking at their door. This woke us up after we had just got to sleep ready for our early flight the next morning.

Wow, what a place!

I was sceptical that a guest house in Eccles would live up to the £82 price tag we were paying but I dont mind admitting we left feeling we'd had great value for money.
The Ascott is deceptively big with a lot more parking than you'd expect too. We stayed in Room 31 which was very big by hotel standards with a large bathroom with bath/shower.
The elusive mirror over the dressing table was another pleasant surprise - we've stayed in so many hotels where the mirror is in a completely inappropriate part of the room for doing hair and make up.
Comfy bed with lovely pillows too.
Breakfast was self serve for cereals and juices, and a hot breakfast and tea/coffee was ordered individually and brought to our table, all of which was very nice.
I would have no problem recommending the Ascott, and if we ever had to stay in the area again we'd happily return here.
