Great hotel, stayed here many times. The rooms are comfortable and modern. Staff are always pleasant and helpful. Good location just a short walk to the tram which will get you into Manchester centre or Salford Quays or you can walk if it isn’t raining.. Food is OK but not a huge amount of choice but breakfast is above average with loads of choices.

Check in smooth and efficient. Booked two double deluxe rooms with queen size bed but was disappointed that one room had twin beds which put a dampener on our stay. Despite messaging reception no reply was received or apology. Bar area was lovely. Only one lift working instead of two.

The hotel is a nice hotel.. Staffs are friendly and professional. There is lounge area with a work station if you want to work there.
The rooms floor is well maintained, the carpet on the hallway look dirty. The car park has very limited space, better to arrive early for a space.

Entrance to the lift was very messy on one of the night, and it was left like that until the morning, this should have been cleaned to ensure the cleanliness of the hotel. Overall the hotel is a nice one with friendly / professional team

A nice, smart, clean hotel. I stayed the night before a university graduation with my wife. Check in was easy and straightforward, and we were up to our room in minutes. Again, very clean and accommodating. We also dined there, our server was Taslima, and they were very friendly, obliging and professional. The food was really tasty and a reasonable price. The whole stay was ideal for what we needed

Incredible stay. Staff were lovely.
Arrived at the hotel and asked about an adapted room. Instantly swapped from my original booking, without an issue. Encouraged to book in half an hour early. Even with parking being shared with the Ibiz hotel, there was no issues parking.
Extra pillows were given upon request.

The drinks were good, pricey but good
The food again was good. Breakfast was buffet style and didn’t skip a beat.

My only issue was the standard pillows. They’re foam but the second you put your head on them, they just disappear.
That’s not a complaint though, just something I wasn’t quite ready for. The room was cleaned while there. Without asking. Very very impressed with the service we received.


Paid for breakfast on the Saturday but not the day leaving. I made a comment about driving 5 hours home and the receptionist encouraged me to grab a coffee from the breakfast service before leaving.

Honestly for a birthday trip away from south wales, I was really impressed.

Thank you so much for looking after us!
Craig.

The location, the friendly staff, the amenities (gym and restaurant) were all above my expectation. The purpose of my visit was a trip to Old Trafford (the cricket ground) but it’s very accessible to both the football and the cricket ground respectively.
Ample car parking too but I got there via public transport, also very convenient.

Our first room had no air conditioning and our stay was during the heatwave. We asked for assistance and maintenance did come but didn't fix yhe issue. They gave us a fan. It was a horrible first night sleep. The next day we brought up the issue to the front desk staff who were very helpful and moved us to a new room. The room cleaning staff missed items throughout our 9 day stay. Missing towels and our last day did not fill the complimentary water and removed the kleenex and left us an empty container. The restaurant was clean, food was wonderful and the staff was friendly and attentive.

Didn’t have much time at the hotel as we we were in Manchester for a concert but check in and check out was first class. Very helpful staff when my phone ran out of battery and I forgot my charger. Would definitely recommend this hotel and only across the road from Salford Quays tram stop

Stayed with my 2 dogs happy to pay a pet charge but unhappy the hotel charged me twice once for each dog I believe this to be a way to just make money as the cleaning would not be done twice!!! I was charged £25 for each dog this is unfair and a rip off.

Moved from the room next to the lift .. 700 something to 818… from bad to worse! Both beds were terrible! You need to change the mattress in both rooms…. The pillows smelt like stale sweat and the fridge in the room didn’t work…would dread to see what people are paying for full price. Staff were pleasant but receptionist couldn’t understand a word I was saying, this was a language barrier.

Got charged £273 when the room was £199 and x2 breakfasts at £14pp. When I queried this the staff initially didn't seem to understand and then said it must be a £50 deposit which I'll get back when I check out however yet to receive this. Ideal location for start of marathon which is why I picked it however I will say the bed was quite uncomfortable.

I am very impressed with this hotel.

The hotel has lovely atmosphere which became apparent as soon as I checked in. The receptionist's polite, highly efficient, quiet personality creates a very pleasant peaceful ambience.

The housekeeping is of a very high standard not just in my room and bathroom but throughout the hotel. The cleaners are often the lowest paid workers in hotels and the most hard working of all hotel staffs. They should all be commended for achieving a very high standard at AC Hotel, Salford Quays.

The breakfast service staff are friendly and obliging. I shall be making this place my \"go to place to stay\" on future visits to Manchester. If this standard is typical of AC hotels in the UK, I look forward to trying their other hotels in other locations in the UK.

Great hotel in excellent location for visiting Lowry theatre. Trains were cancelled for the weekend, we had theatre tickets for Friday and a hospital appointment on Sat am in Salford, Decided to stay over rather than make two trips there and back. Only feedback would be the bed was small but we are used to a king size. Lots of parking available on site. Would deffo look at staying over again here if we had the same situation again, especially as it only cost us £60 for the night!

Couldn't have a relaxing evening as was trying to fix the TV and staff coming in and out to help fix it. Resulted to watching a movie in bed on my phone - not what you really expect.

Staff were nice and friendly. The car park was easy enough, £14 a night though. Room was fine, but the pillow was terrible, very soft and i think the seal in the window must have blown because it was so noisy. I did inform staff who said that they would sort it. Breakfast was a big let down. Many items left empty and food was cold. Not great, wouldn't return.
