Gardens Hotel - Manchester

Hotel location was great. Walking distance from train and bus stations. Shops were equally closeby.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Coldest room I have ever paid to stay in. Front desk said heat was on a cycle. The only good thing about the hotel was the location. Main lift out of order so you had to carry your bags up 2 flights of stairs to get to other lift.

My stay in the hotel was good enough. There was strong smell of humidity in the atmosphere, I don't know why. The waiters are willing, the hotel is in the city center near piccadilly station fifteen minutes long from the airport by train.

The bedroom wasn't horrid but the bathroom did have a mildew odor and wasnt what I'd call clean. There were also dirty hand prints on several wall surfaces and other general shabbiness. Plus there was quite a bit of noise from the street even though we were on the allie it sounded like street sweeping the. Garbage cans being thrown about and not a lot […] of insulation to keep the sound down. It was close to the train station though and the bed seemed clean. The lobby was nice and the did actually have free wifi. All In all not thrilled but I could stay there again if I HAD to. Read more

While the staff at The Gardens Hotel were more than accommodating, the hotel itself was certainly not worth the price. My room was small, even by European standards, dark, dingy, and uncomfortable. The bed was unbearable and the bathroom continually smelled. Water pressure in the shower was completely erratic and I never knew if I was going to be able […] to rinse the shampoo out of my hair; I had to adjust the shower head to its lowest point in order to get any pressure. There was an electrical fire while I was staying there; this was indicative of the overall condition of the building, which was in the final stages of decrepitude. It was much more like a hostel (though with my own room) than a hotel. I suppose the location may make up for it for some people, but do not go in with high expectations. Read more

The hotel was very nice. Very close to Piccadilly station. all kinds of shopping and great areas to see. I had a great time just roaming the city. The only bad experience I had was that one evening at 3 in the morning the next room decided to have a gab fest for an hour. other than that I was very happy with my stay.....

WE STAYED IN THE FRONT OF THE HOTEL AND WAS AMAZED AT THE LIGHTS ON THE SQUARE. IT LOOKED LIKE A WONDERLAND, EVERYONE WAS SO NICE AND INTERESTED IN HOW OUR DAY HAD BEEN. WE CAN NOT WAIT TO GO BACK, SO CONVENIENT TO THE TRAINS, TRAM, AND BUSES.

I wasn't expecting too much from this place, given the price, but it turned out to be excellent! The hotel is located near the Northern Quarter, just steps to the main shopping area on Market Street and Afflecks, and less than ten minutes walk from Piccadilly train station. The room was very clean, and larger than I expected. It even had a nice desk […] area, perfect for doing work. Wireless internet was free, and very fast! I also enjoyed the flat-screen tv with lots of channels! There were a couple of homeless people milling about in the neighbourhood around dusk, but other than that, it's a great location. I can't say enough good things about this hotel! Read more

The gardens hotel is very convenient to the city center in Manchester, it is a reasonable rate hotel, and the staff are very nice and helpful. There are clean sheets and towels! I didn't need much more than that! It is not a 4-star hotel, but it is worth the price...I have stayed there several times and would do t again.

Good shower, nice room, free wifi for guests. All I needed.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

I found the hotel to be in a great location with very friendly staff. The Hotel is old and needs updating but you get what you pay for and if your looking for a cheap city centre hotel just to sleep in this is a good place to try

Beds/bedding were clean & comfortable; small but manageable room; terrible view

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Hidden away in Piccadilly Gardens, the hotel is rather old and the interior shows it. The Room was very basic but served its purpose and the staff at reception were attentive. But what a terrific Location. Close to everything in Manchester Central with two pubs within a 50 yards distance, a 24 hour Supermarket and Piccadilly Rail Station just a 5 minute […] walk away.

The wi fi to my room was intermittent and a major inconvenience as I was unable to access information for a meeting the following day. I had arrived late (11pm) and there was no time to seek help. Also the shower was not working properly - hot water pressure dropped to almost nothing, resulting in a cold shower!. I had to wash body and hair using the […] wash basin. Read more

Hotel service very friendly. Rooms clean and reasonably modern, with comfy beds and spacious bathrooms. Free (working and reliable) internet. It's very close to Piccadilly station and the busy Portland Road so if you have a room on the front it may be quite noisy, but the room I had at the back was very quiet. Great location, right in the centre, near […] stations, Arndale, 15 minute walk to Manchester Museum, 5-10 to Manchester Art Gallery. Only annoyance was the squeeky floorboards from the room above (very loud, woke me up). Read more

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Good hotel, nice central location minutes away from pubs/shopping. Only down sides were it got noisy at night with all the commotion outside and banging of doors.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Quality of the hotel was not brilliant, room not serviced as I was there a few days. Needed a good clean and some tlc. Mould in bathroom, fittings loose. Beware of a room facing the internal courtyard, bright lights on all night, room quite light therefore and noise from airconditioning units and extractor fans. Poor food hygiene rating. But location […] is excellent right on Piccadilly Gardens and plent of external eating places close by. Read more

Central location, rooms clean but tired, staff polite if not engaging, basic and satisfactory. A refurbishment would make such a difference.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Friendly staff and good central location. Clean hotel, good broadband internet. I had a crazy lady doing operatic voice exercises in the early morning, but apart from that I like the hotel

Genuine Expedia guest review

Initially difficult to find, but pointed out to me by another hotel's reception staff. Courteous, efficient & helpful reception staff at Garden's Hotel. Faded, tired decor. Room clean & tidy. All required facilities available, including free wifi. Good value, considering proximity to station and city centre.

Badly needs to be decorated, carpets has stains and threadbare in some places, no sound proofing able to hear neighbours, the only positives are the central location and free wifi in the rooms

Genuine Expedia guest review

Perfectly situated a short walk from Piccadilly Station. Whole of central Manchester easily accessible from this site. Hotel generally has seen better days, but very clean and helpful, friendly staff. I would happily recommend it, and already have, as a good budget choice.

Really friendly staff, great location, great price and free bag storage made all the difference - will come back if I need to visit Manch again

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Took a while to find the hotel on a dark wet evening. The building number and name were not prominent. The entrance was not welcoming and I did wonder what the hotel was going to be like. Reception was efficient and I was on my way to my room without delay. The hallways and corridors were clean but they were showing their age. My room was spacious and […] contained all the basic requirements. Again it did need some modernisation. The radiator was much welcomed to warm me up. Couldn't get on to the Internet but a call to reception soon fixed that. Was concerned about the noise as the room was overlooking Piccadilly Gardens but after midnight things quietened down. The bed was very comfortable and I slept well. Didn't like the shower - it had a flimsy curtain that ends up getting stuck against your body. Read more

This Hotel is in a great location in the city center close to both train stations and the shopping center. The staff were nice and helpful when needed. The rooms are comfy and well organised. The bed was comfortable and there were spare pillows in the room if needed. The hotel has a whole as a modern feel and was very clean tidy and well presented. […] I personally would stay there again and would recommend to friends or family. Read more

It was quiet though there was astrange smell coming from the inner courtyard between reception and the bedrooms.

Centrally located, with daily room service. Recommended.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

I wasn't spending much time in room so room served my purposes sufficiently. If I was going to be based in hotel more I would have liked a little more luxury. Staff were accommodating and friendly. Excellent central location and close to bus stops for out of centre trips. Close to train station too. Only gripe is my room was next to noisy lift so got […] woke up regularly. However I didn't ask to move or address this with hotel so can't complain really. Read more

This is poor quality hotel, but very conveniently placed near Piccadilly gardens bus station! Complimentary WiFi is a plus

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

This hotel is very close to piccadilly train station which as I arrived late at night was a bonus. The hotel is very clean, reception staff very helpful. It is not a modern hotel but makes up for it in cleanliness, bed comfortable and a reasonable price. The water pipes are a bit noisy but if you can deal with that you will have a comfortable stay.

An hotel which did not cost a fortune and offered everything I needed for a business stay. Wi Fi available and staff helpful in accessing it. Great breakfast - it was actually served hot unlike many hotels. Good central venue.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Very reasonable price for centre-of-city stay. The room was comfortable, and quite well-appointed, with everything I needed. The night was noisy, but I had expected that, in central Manchester, and had invested in ear-plugs! The staff were helpful.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Excellent value for money. Right next to the shopping district so all the more better. Clean spacious rooms with free wifi and clean sheets, free tv and big bath tub and washroom. What else can anyone ask for in this price. Plus staff is polite, friendly and helpful. I have stayed here three times and have had no complaints.

Hotel could do with a bit re-decorating in places,rooms adequate,good location.We didn't use the hotels bar/catering facilities so cant really comment on that.We thought the hotel was pricey for what you get and our room was in need of a lick of paint(just a minor grumble though)The hotel served as a good base for the weekend we were there,close to […] the train station,the tram system and walking distance to the high street shops.We used the hotel for the stone roses gigs so didn't spend a great deal of time there,but overall not bad Read more

The hotel it's self was great. Comfy beds, clean linen, amenities etc. the location is great too (very central) but the trams can be noisy, and it staying there on a weekday then the commuter traffic could be annoying.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

the hotel is in urgent need of renovation. I requested a quiet room and was given an interior room that was near some ventilation system or something similar and was quite noisy. The curtains did not cover the light from the patio. Mattress was old and dreadful, carpets in room and corridors old and dirty. On the positive side: good shower, spacious […] room, central location, good price. Despite positive things I wouldn´t recomend it. Read more
