Parking easy and secure. Only a few spaces left at 830pm, but forewarned it wasn't guaranteed, so grateful to find a space. Great budget hotel. No frills, very comfortable beds and perfect for, in our case, a quick stopover for a uni visit. Also very friendly and helpful staff.

the room was inadequate, it was a care home before hand as our room still had call bells in the bath had no lock on the door, the room was absolutely freezing having to wear coats and hoodies to sleep in to try to get warm. The staff weren’t the friendliest, considering the price we paid I wouldn’t recommend.

Parking easy, but had to pay an additional £14. Issues with accessing room as cards wouldn’t work- twice. Put into a new room, top bunk bed not made up, we had to do this. Shower literally in bedroom (caravan style), very awkward for getting undressed as staying with teenage son. Toilet literally in a cupboard. Mattresses very hard, pillows very hard. Corridors in poor state, carpets worn and smelt very damp. Hotel staff friendly, however issues with computer system that said we had not paid for breakfast which we had so could not walk easily into breakfast. Extremely limited choice for breakfast, and very low end food. To finish things offf, some guests had thrown milk and sugar out of a window onto our car, milk had made a mess. Husband reported to hotel, they cleaned top of car, which is good. Tbh prices should have been cheaper as we paid £125, which I think was dear, and hotel basically looked like a prison. Will never stay in a budget hotel again!

Parking was £14 per 24 hours which is a lot. The room was too cold and took a long time to warm up with electric oil heater. Only two pillows and many of the rooms only have a single stool but luckily we had a chair in the accessible room. Rooms are clean but the decor reminded me of a private room on a NHS hospital ward. There was mildew above the shower which is easily treatable with bleach. It is truly a budget hotel.

We stayed for one night and unfortunately did not enjoy our stay. We arrived late due to a long journey. Upon checking in reception staff were helpful. When we got to our room we had noticed the bathroom was not well cleaned. There was a lot of mould on the accessibility facilities, we were not using these and choice not to use the shower facilities due to this. My concern was that those required this would have to use these and in my opinion a poses a health risk. Finally after getting into bed after a long day we looked up and above the bed (below the bunk bed) there was what appears to be bodily fluid (bloodied) sweared all across the bed. Unfortunately at this point we decided it was too late to change rooms and had to sleep on the opposite end. We checked out early as we did not want to stay any longer. I mentioned this at reception. I feel the receptionist did not feel apologetic and felt like it was not worth the time. We got a simple “oh thank you for letting me know.” In my opinion this is a huge health hazard and even though this is a budget hotel this should not be a standard. We only had one night luckily but due to this we left the moment we woke up to get home and clean. I personally would never normally review but on this occasion I feel this is needed due to the nature.

I arrived at the hotel 90 mins early and asked if I could check in early, I didn't need access to the room. I was told early check in, even 90 mins, was an extra charge....a room was obviously available. I chose to wait. I probably missed it, but there is a £14 per night parking charge (I paid less for a hotel on the outskirts of London the previous weekend). Continental breakfast was £7 per person, and was fair value with a good selection to choose from. The room is basic, as one would expect, but could have done with a chair to sit in rather than a plastic stool. Given the \"extra\" charges, the cost was closer to possibly more comfortable rooms with other brands.

Room was spotlessly clean. The area was quiet. The tram to Salford Quays was a few minutes walk away, so we could easily go out for dinner.

Access to car park was confusing as you pass through another hotel's car park and threre were no visible signs to the Ibis.

The price was good for a night's stay in a clean, comfortable bed.

Good location - perfect for a short stay

It is a fairly small room for 3 people and it didn't have a separate bathroom, just a small toilette (if you are of a bigger build, it can be a tight fit). The shower was more or less a hole in the wall with an opaque door. Not ideal when traveling with a teenager, but it had to do for one night. The bunk bed was unmade, which is not great after a long journey, but there was clean bedding provided.
The room was overall clean and it smelled fresh.
Staff was friendly and helpful.
Parking is at the back of the hotel, which was not straight forward to get to as there is not signage on the main road.
It is about a 10 min walk to Media City and the tram stop is across the road, if you want to venture into Man city.

I understand this is a budget IBS hotel but I dont not think this is worth £184 for 2 nights with breakfast.

The room is clean but size is small. The shower & toilet & sinks are separated. The toilet is very very small. They provide big towels, liquid soap 3-in-1, TV & air-conditioning. Parking is £14 per 24 hours. Breakfast- additional charges. The place is close to tram lines & restaurants. I chose this hotel because parking available though I have to pay, room price & its location.

Very friendly and professional staff. Breakfast hours are generous, as are the checkout times.

Only thing I felt uncomfortable with is the lack of an actual bathroom. The toilet room's door and light switch has to be touched by every occupant in the room before washing their hands after doing their business in there. It would be reassuring to know that the inside of the door, the inner handle, and light switch was disinfected between occupants.

Worst stay ever

Dear Ibis Hotels Customer Service,

I am writing to formally express my dissatisfaction with my recent stay at one of your hotels. This was my first time staying with Ibis, and unfortunately, it was an extremely disappointing experience from start to finish.

Upon arrival, I found the mattress in our room to be extremely uncomfortable—so much so that we had to go out and purchase a £30 mattress topper just to get through the night. When I asked reception whether all the rooms had the same mattresses, the staff were unhelpful and dismissive. I then spoke with the manager on shift, who said he would try to find us two extra pillows and a duvet to place over the topper, and that he would return in about 10 minutes. This was around 8:00 pm.

Two hours later, nothing had been delivered to our room. I returned to reception at around 10:00 pm, only to find that the matter had been completely ignored. While I understand Ibis is a budget hotel brand, that should not mean compromising on basic service standards.

In addition to the uncomfortable bed, we had to pay an extra £28 for parking, the “fan” in the room was ineffective and noisier than it was cooling, and there were holes in the bedding. The bedding was not even changed despite the cleaner visiting the room.

Overall, our stay was poor, stressful, and unacceptable—especially given this was our first experience with Ibis. Between the extra costs we had to incur and the lack of care shown by staff, this was far below the standard
