Radisson Blu Edwardian Manchester Hotel - Manchester

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Booked this the night before we traveled due to a need to be in Manchester for a stop-over, and this was both convenient and had a good price. The hotel was a bit hard to find when driving, as the address did not appear to be the front of the hotel entrance, and there are various one-way roads around it. As a warning, parking is 18 or 30 pounds per […] night in a nearby public lot (depending on whether you use the valet parking or not). The hotel itself is very nice and based on an old building that has been very nicely repurposed. The service was British - not particularly friendly or welcoming, but quite good for the local custom. The bar, atrium, and rooms were generally very nice, and things were quite well appointed. A couple of other small things detracted from the stay - the curtain/blind in our room did not close properly, so the street lights shone on the head of the bed when we were trying to sleep and people could look in from another part of the hotel. The computers in the "business center" were in pretty bad shape and the web browser kept crashing - I could not log on to get boarding passes - fortunately there was a way to print directly from my laptop that worked.

Excellent hotel. Great location in Manchester. Restaurant was fantastic -- both food and service. Nice rooms and very helpful staff. Went out of their way to accommodate us when we arrived at 7am from the US.

We stayed at the Raddison Blu Edwardian Manchester Hotel for only one night, but I kind of wish I had been able to stay longer. I had never been to Manchester before, and we stayed there in between taking the train up from London and meeting up with some friends to stay with with them for a bit. The room was modern but incredibly comfortable. The size […] - especially compared to London hotels! - was luxurious. My friend had a suit that he needed to have cleaned and pressed. Even though we were only staying there one night and would be checking out before it was ready, the hotel cleaned my friend's suit and then had it waiting for us with the concierge so we could pick it up the following evening. After we checked in we walked around the area a bit before going to dinner and there seemed to be lots to explore, but we ran out of time. The breakfast buffet, which at first I didn't realize was included with the room, was delicious. My friend was going to sleep in, but I called him and made him come down to breakfast when I saw how nice the food was! If I have another opportunity to go Manchester, I would definitely stay here again. Read more

The aircondition did not work, and there was an awfule smell in the lobby area. There was a lot of noisy and drunken football guests

Genuine Expedia guest review

Very clean, very slick, very modern, very comfortable. Free wifi access across the hotel, very nice breakfast spread, centrally located making all of Manchester easily accessible. The air conditioning in the room was not very accurate and I wish the pool was open till later at night but other than that, no complaints whatsoever.

On arrival at 12:30pm we were told by a rather surly receptionist that check in was not available until 2pm and they had no room ready, She needed to find another job that does not involve dealing with the public. No a very welcoming feeling in this hotel.

Such a lovely stay in this beautiful hotel! It's in the middle of it all but not on a hectic noisy street. You can easily take the free city bus from the train station to the door of the hotel. Everyone at the hotel is there for you. The room & hotel is spotless & very comfortable. Very secure & safe too.

Located in a relatively central location, the whole experience was perfect for me needs. The staff were attentive and polite, with the room itself being immaculate and very good value for money. I would happily stay there again when I next need to visit Manchester.

It was a great experience. The staff were very helpful and gentle. The hotel location is perfect, just a few minutes from the main attractions in Manchester.

I love this hotel and I loved the staff. The location is great. The bar was great. I will definitely stay here again.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

This is a beautiful hotel! It was actually the nicest one we stayed in on our trip. I gave it a 4 only because of the location. It is actually a fantastic location. No parking is a huge problem, especially when you don't know they have no parking. We actually drove past it six times before we figured out how to get to the entrance. Don't rely just on […] your GPS! Other than that, everyone was nice and helpful and the whole place is lovely. Read more

This place was exceptional! Facilities were fantastic and responsiveness of the staff was amazing. Great food in restaurant. I sometimes stay at Radisson in Edinburgh and there is no comparison.

Well we got to stay here when the Newcastle players were stay here, so I am sure that gives it away that this is a nice hotel. Overall pleased with the hotel. Only thing i hated was that the key kept cutting out so i had to get a new one all the time.

Very comfortable with highly convenient in-room facilities.We booked room only, but availed ourselves of bar service- which was at the price expected of this type of hotel. The entertainment provided separately was obviously enjoyed by the customers, but the expected noise, despite having considerable decibel value in the halls and corridors, did not […] penetrate the rooms. The initial view on the 6th floor of many surrounding roofs could be a blot on the landscape, but given the history of these buildings, it was very interesting to study them in the context of "Old Manchester".. The free Wi-Fi was used with ease. Read more

We decided to overcome our jet lag by staying in Manchester before heading to Yorkshire. The Radisson Free Trade Hall Hotel is a modern building attached to the historic Free Trade Hall. Only the lobby and restaurant are part of the historic structure, the rest of the hotel is new. The restaurant OPUS is beautiful and our dinner and tea were both delicious. […] There is a nice pool. The location was safe and convenient. Don't miss the John Ryland Library. We took each of the three free City buses and enjoyed a free tour of the whole city which is very vibrant. Manchester is the "home" of the industrial revolution and we enjoyed learning more about that and seeing the sites. They have recovered nicely from the "moving on" of the textile industries. We would indeed stay again. Read more

have stayed previously standards have seriously dropped from last visit

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

You can definitely see why it has a four to five star rating. The only negative thing i can say is that it is very difficult to find if you are driving and have never been there before. Even with a GPS in the car and the address, there are no signs visible from the main street to let you know which building is the Radisson. Once I found the hotel, everything […] was great.

Very Good Hotel

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The pictures on the website obviously looked better then the room it self when we got there. Some staff were very friendly and attentive whilst others (one lady on reception in particular) looked as though they didn't want to be there! Check in was horrendous we waited 25 mins to be attended too but were given 2 free drinks in the opus lounge which […] was nice. The spa was small but nice. The business class room we stayed in was nothing special and had an intermittent Banging noise all night. Overall it was a good hotel whether it deserves it's 5 star status is questionable. If we stayed again I would not book a business class room but something more luxurious. Read more

This Hotel does not have a great energy, it is certainly substandard to a 5 star hotel, I would generally rate it about a 3.5 star. The rooms are just not comfortable and inviting. I did not have a good sleep here and actually based on other 4/5 stars I stay in regularly for business I would not stay here again

Excellent room, facilities and fab lobster/steak night!!

Appropriate to mixed requirements of location and enjoyed spa facilities

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Our room was spacious, nicely decorated and the bed increadibly comfortable. The service in the bar and the restaurant was unfortunatly very bad - slow staff showing very little interest in guests, it took over 20 min to order a drink in a half-empty bar and at breakfast we had to go in search for the staff to find someone that could bring coffee, cutlery, […] butter etc. Read more

I stayed at the hotel for one night for my boyfriend's birthday. The hotel looks great, and the service we received was fantastic. Unfortunately for us, our room was directly above a restaurant that had a jazz night on, and it was very loud. Luckily we were watching a film and it didn't affect our stay, but if we were needing an early night before flying […] somewhere it would have been horrible. Overall, a good stay, I just think the hotel should look into sound-proofing the restaurant if their gonna hold events that carry on late into the night. Oh, and if you eat in the hotel, you won't be disappointed with Opus One. Amazing food! Read more

Very good hotel with excellent staff. Good location, good facilities. Restaurant OK.

Genuine Expedia guest review

hotel was what we expected except for the problem of the refurbishment of the changing room facilities which restricted the use. You were required to get changed for the pool in your room and as the lift did not go direct to the pool area ( part of refurbishment) then you had to negotiate through the main lobby area. also the toilet facilities were […] out of action and again if you required the toilet you had to make your way to the first floor toilets accessed through the main lobby. A small setback but the dinner on the Saturday evening was excellent, the best tasting lamb for a long time and this made up for the loss of pool time. Read more

I stayed here two nights last weekend and the hotel were fantastic so much so I have already booked for another weekend in a few weeks time. The only down side with it being so central was I had to park my car at a NCP which had to pay full rates as the hotel doesn't have a discount code for it, otherwise was perfect.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

excellent hotel, with attentive staff. I was able to drop my luggage off early in the morning on arriving in manchester, so was free to enjoy the shopping etc. Both rooms we booked were clean and had everything we needed for the stay, bottled water, coffee facilities etc

Took my father here for a surprise trip to Man Utd. The free bus dropped us right outside hotel and only a 6 minute taxi ride to the stadium, so location was excellent. Decor was lovely, rooms spacious, with kingsize bed and was nice and quiet. Lovely breakfast which was a nice surprise as we didn't think it was in with the rate. Very good deal and […] woukd definately stay again when we come to Manchester. Read more

Receptionist only spoke to tell me my room number and floor I was on. Not the hotels fault this one but I was woken through night to a ‘domestic’ in the room next door. Very loud air conditioning/heating which meant by knocking it off the room was very cold. Woke up to shower with no hot water….. freezing cold! Not the best of experiences here

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Excellent and very well priced. Would not hesitate to use again.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Great hotel and everything to a high spec. The gym was being refurbished which took the shine off for me and dodgy smells in the stairwells. The rooms look lovely and modern but the room lacked a homely feel (thin duvet and open plan bathroom into the bed area felt cold.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Superb Hotel, typical Radisson. Restaurant / Bar was fantastic and the breakfasts were great. On check-in, we were told that we were allocated two single beds, disappointed, we queried the reservation as we had booked a double. Was sorted out in no time, so I'm not sure if we were upgraded. They also through in breakfast for each day! The room was a […] king on the 14th floor with panoramic views over Manchester - beautiful. Spacious, sleek, modern, very comfortable. Bathroom was generous, well designed. Shower was to die for!! Large head in the roof and six jets down the wall OMG... Location was excellent, could walk to everywhere, close to trams, city square and restaurants. Concierge extremely helpful. Read more

We were satisfied with our stay generally, but when there is a double occupancy of a room the fact that there is no door between the wash basin area and the sleeping area, was very disturbing for the other occupant.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

I capitalised on an advance purchase deal and stayed at the hotel for five nights on business in considerably more luxury than I have experienced in other locations. The check-in was fast, convenient and friendly and the cleaning service (and turn-down service of an evening) were not in the slightest bit intrusive. I had only experienced one minor issue […] with the stay, however this was dealt with wonderfully (and almost immediately) by the hotel staff. Initially I was given a room next to what I can only imagine to have been a boiler which made a dreadful amount of noise. However, I received a courtesy call asking if everything was as expected about 5 minutes into arriving at the room. This was an excellent touch as they sent someone up to attempt to deal with the noise and ended up relocating me to another room. Read more

Booked 4 rooms for our staff for a meeting. All very good.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Loved every bit about the stay, a working stop seemed liked a weekend getaway. An example of their aim to please can be summed up by the following example, whilst passing the lobby i asked for a room service card to get breakfast to my room, on the 3rd day, a worker was stood by my door before i got back to room, some 50 seconds later with the card. […] Every effort that could have been made by the hotel was, it is in every way 5 star and worth every penny. See you again soon xx Read more
