In my first room the sound-proofing window panes were loose and didn’t fit properly, and they rattled. Not possible to sleep. Changed rooms. In new room, panes also didn’t fit together, but didn’t rattle. My son in room next door had same problem.

Bacon at breakfast was as dry as leather.

Staff courteous but busy; understandable due to Christmas events.

Room’s over bed lights - only one was working. Wondered if it was just a loose tube etc so had a look behind the shade. It was very dusty and obviously not featured
in weekly or monthly cleaning schedule.

We had a tight schedule visiting friends and family in the area and came back to hotel to relax between visits and would have liked more tea bags for our number of nights stay v number of guests; especially when housekeeping is a choice for guests. When we did ask at reception for extra they were happy to give but said “I’ll give you one each” and we had to request double that !

This hotel far exceeded my expectations.

I paid £55 for a night's bed and breakfast on a Saturday (the Travelodge nearby was £150 room only!).

The common areas (reception and bar) were very nicely decorated / furnished and felt more like a higher priced hotel.

The room was nicely done with well thought out lighting / socket placement, very fresh smelling bedding and it was exceptionally (spotlessly!) clean.

Breakfast was very good (tinned fruit being the only giveaway this was a budget hotel), great selection for a full English with quality ingredients, fresh pastries.

All the staff were lovely, very friendly and helpful.

I would definitely stay here again if in the area, it would be my first choice.

Entry and exit to the hotel was rather off-putting as it involved running the gauntlet of those smoking under the entrance portico. I think that some of them might have been staff members, so perhaps someone should have a quiet word to get them to smoke elsewhere. Not sure what you can do to get guests to keep away from the entrance, though.

I enjoyed my stay at the Alma Lodge Hotel. Staff were friendly and helpful and it was easy to get a late drink at the bar.

The breakfast was quite varied and staff checked that items were maintained regularly, unlike in many other hotels I have stayed at in the past.

I would be happy to stay at the Alma Lodge again.

Not Comfortable

The beds were hard, not comfortable at all, got very little sleep due to this, and the very thin walls. We could hear kids running in the corridor at 2am, and crying. Could also hear tv noise and general loud chat from other rooms, all due to the thin walls.
Not a place i would come back to.

Birthday weekend

This is the second time at this hotel. The staff are helpful and friendly. The beds while spotless were a little hard and uncomfortable, the breakfast was extra and average, although a variety of cereal and yogurt not much in the way of fruit to add to it , just a little chopped pineapple and nothing else, the cooked breakfast was adequate but lukewarm. I would stay here again.

Try somewhere else

The property is severely run down, as soon as you walk into reception you are greeted with a musky smell, the rooms also have the disgusting smell, are very dated and unkept. The sink has a huge crack in the basin and there was one towel for a family of 3. Then in the morning we were rudely awaken at 6AM by the fire alarm going off! Any recommendation would be try find somewhere else because for the money I’m sure you could get something better

Hotel is very dated and neglected. Stayed here three times over the past 12 months, every time there is ‘an issue with the chef’ and breakfast is reduced to a very limited selection of cereal and stale coffee. I had given them the benefit of the doubt initially but there are much better options out there.

Myself , my husband and my teenage son had a very pleasant stay here. We chose this hotel as it was only a short drive to old Trafford football ground where we went for soccer aid.
The reception staff were friendly and helpful. There were no lifts but that didn't boher us as the stairs weren't steep.
The room was comfortable and clean with everything we needed.
Breakfast was lovely with a really good selection of full English breakfast, pastries, cereal, yogurt and fruit.
Would stay again .

Very dated rooms and facilities, especially in terms of power sockets, shower, bathroom overall.
No blackout curtains, so you'll get woken up on sunny days.
They're pretty stingy on toiletries, although happy to provide more on request.
Good service, good staff, comfortable enough.

my 8 day stay in Stockport

This was the 2nd time I have stayed here, the last time 2023, The actual hotel, and all those employed were excellent, however some of the guests as in all hotels really should have some respect of other guests, we are all not up at 5am, we are all not in bed at midnight, some of their attitudes are deplorable, for goodness sake people, there is a handle to open and close the doors, do you do it at home? if you do, god help your families!
But apart from that, I have full praise, and if I ever travel to Stockport again, I will be sure to stay here, I have so much praise for the staff, all exceptionally polite, and always do everything in their power to help. My biggest praise goes to Ellie, who sorted me out on my first day with my walk in shower! Gold star
