Great hotel for an overnight before early flight. Across the road from Terminal 2.
Our room was not huge but it is adequate for a comfortable stay. Tea and coffee facilities, bed was comfortable. Staff were really kind and friendly. There was a queue to check in when we arrived and we waited just a few minutes. Would stay again.

I don't know if all rooms are the same but my bathroom was adapted for disabled use, especially it seemed for wheelchair users. This meant that the wash basin was very low and so was the mirror above it, resulting in me having to bend down to see myself in it when I was shaving and this caused a back spasm. The wash basin was very small and the lever for water was peculiarly designed and the water pressure very low, it didn't give me confidence it was fir to drink as the cold position was the off position.

Three good things - Basically part of the airport, so very convenient to get in and out. The rooms (at least the one we were in) are very quiet, so you don't have to be worried about external noise. The price was much better than similar nearby hotels - but you get what you pay for...

Everything else - subpar. Service is not very good - they have 1 or two people at the reception. Reception is basically a counter for 2 people - that's it. You get more than 2 parties checking in, you are in for a long, long wait.

The rooms - basically it feels like your are in a train compartment. There is no place to put your luggage, the table is the size of a table in a train. If you are a bit larger than average size, you are in trouble. Basically the bed takes up all of the space. Two of us felt like we were in a coffin (and we are on a smaller than average size).

AC in the room was not working. Also, they limit temperature settings - cannot go lower than 19 degrees Celsius. Asking Front Desk to fix AC did absolutely nothing.

Breakfast is essentially snaking from a sandwich machine. They have one person in the morning and evening manning \"the bar\". There are no ice machines on any floors.

Would not recommend for any stays longer than 1 day (hopefully your need is for less than 24 hrs).

Ideal for access to Manchester Airport T2 - literally 2 minutes walk. It was easy to get to the airport from the Manchester Airport train station too - 5-7 minutes walk.

The room as basic but very clean and well maintained. The bathroom was good, the shower had excellent water pressure.

One bad point - the bed. The mattress was incredibly thin, which led to the bed being hard to the point of being uncomfortable. If you can cope with sleeping on a rock hard surface, fine. I couldn't, so I wouldn't stay there again. It's a shame, as in every other respect it's a great option if you want to stay close to the airport.

No apology no offer of refund not even sorry.

The location is 10/10 convenient! We stayed the night before a super early flight the next day. When we got there, the hotel was super busy, even at 9pm. People are hanging out in the lobby, having food, playing ping pong etc. So if this is not your vibe, and you just want a chill night in, this might not be the place for you. We ordered a pizza at the restaurant, and it's kind of exactly what you'd expect, a heated up frozen pizza. The entire hotel was giving youth hostel vibes, which again, did not bother us, but maybe it's not your thing. Room was small but expected. There were some dirt marks on our sheets/ duvet, but since we were only staying the night, we did not care for it. The price is really good for this hotel, so you're basically getting what you payed for, a place to crash before a flight. It was nice that they have vending machines with real food options 24/7 in the lobby, and a restaurant/ bar.

The Ibis is brilliant if you need a stopover at Manchester airport. It is central to all 3 terminals and very easy to access from the station, there is also parking outside. Both eat in continental breakfast or the grab and go are great. The roos are small but well laid out and exceptionally clean as are the bathrooms. The staff were very friendly and helpful. It was busy on our arrival so two more members of staff came out to speed up check in. All round great stay and I wouldn't bother looking anywhere else in future.

The room was basic, as expected, though the bedding/towels/ toilet were very clean, the shower door strip seal needed cleaning and the skirting boards and corners were rather dirty. Breakfast was continental, which I like, but was put off with the small black flys on it, maybe there could be some kind of covers used for this.

The least comfortable hotel room I have ever had the displeasure to stay in. Who knew they manufactured mattresses so thin. (It was thinner than my tube of toothpaste!) The bed is shoved in a corner so only one person can get in.
Had a drink in the bar... my wife left hers. They have averts on yhe walls for the bar in the next door hotel. My advice, stay there instead.

The hotel is situated very close to terminal 2 at Manchester Airport so very convenient. The rooms are small but perfectly adequate for an overnight stay. The beds are very comfortable and the rooms and bathrooms are clean. A limited amount of food and drinks are available , but enough for overnight, and a well stocked vending machine is also available in the lobby. This is our second stay and we’d happily stay again on our next visit.

I get this is a budget hotel but it was HORRIBLE. We got there post 10:30. The only food option were frozen pizzas at £15.00 or vending machines. My son ordered a sandwich which was inedible. The wrap had jellified. It was vile. The TV didn’t work so we couldn’t watch the football away from the reception and its drunken wearing. The reception TV had subtitles on so you couldn’t actually read the score ever and the quality of the picture hasn’t been that bad in a TV since 1978. The “twin room” was so small. It was a queen bed, chopped in two. Then stuck back together. It was impossible to split the beds and still get to the bathroom. I’ve been in prison cells that were larger. It was the most depressing hotel stay in the UK I’ve ever had. Just awful. Reception staff wouldn’t get our TV working and Deliveroo driver couldn’t find the hotel, which apparently happens a lot… annoying because I asked the staff specifically if Deliveroo was achievable. Avoid. The Radisson opposite appeared so much better for not much more. Crap.

Broken/blocked sink. We booked a room for the night for an early flight. We have a 3 year old so after we checked in we had a meal at the holiday inn across the way.

Whilst getting ready for bed we noticed the sink wasn’t draining well. When it eventually did it left scum and other residue presumably from what’s blocking it. As I was in nothing but my smalls for bedtime I called reception using my mobile but the line kept on disconnecting (problem with their line not mine).

The hot water in the shower took 5 mins to get warm too, not ideal when you’re in a rush to get ready to catch your flight!

Upon checkout the manager told me contact an email. I emailed and asked I didn’t physically go to the front desk to complain there’s nothing they could do. Cop out. Just another way to pull a fast one. What can you expect from a BUDGET hotel though!!!!

Room in itself was clean and tidy and to the basic standards expected for a budget hotel but the shower curtain in the bathroom was horrific, covered in stains and mould. Even for a budget hotel this isn't acceptable.
Then after having arrived late on last night after a 6 hour flight we had planned on a lie in this morning before leaving for home but we're woken at 7.30 by a member of housekeeping trying to gain access to the room and shouting to us waking us up. Reception said she must have thought we'd already checked out but it was an unwelcome wake up call.

It's a new hotel yet the carpet on the communal areas is dirty. The bed is too platforms pushed together. I'm not obese, but my hip could feel the seam of the two platforms joining.

Great staff, they saw I was rather p!$$ed when I arrived (thank you national railway for adding at least 2.5 hours to my journey) and they helped me massively.

Once I got my room I was really happy with how clean, tidy and comfortable it was.

I put the bed level with McGettigans in Donegal for the best sleep I have ever had in a hotel. I actually slept flat as the pillows were a little too high for me, didn't matter, amazingly comfortable and sound sleep.

It's a cold/continental breakfast (other than toast). Nothing wrong with that.

For the price and it's location it was a bargain.

Suggest if you are staying and on foot you go to it from the skywalk at Terminal 2, not from the railway station (or you will be playing live frogger and scaling small fences).
