ibis Manchester Centre 96 Portland Street

Ideal location for an overnight stay in Manchester. Basic room but has everything you need. Would stay again.

I stayed in Manchester for one night and this hotel was perfect. It's a great location, was reasonably priced and the room was spacious and clean. Would stay there again.

Overall I had a pleasant stay here, with the staff being extremely polite and helpful. The room was very clean and the bed was comfortable. Some areas looked a little worn and tatty i.e. the door to the shower room; although this didn't upset or distract the overall experience of the stay. The only slight downside were the breakfasts. I chose the full English version on day 1. It was exceptionally dry having been sitting under the lamps for a while. The sausages had a strong smell and taste, eggs completely dry. I guess it's tricky keeping the food warm and moist.

Great location, great service and comfortable. Bed was so creaky though.

Great location, amazing, friendly staff!

Generally a nice experience in ibis. The best thing is the hotel's location. It is very convenient if you use public transportation for your travelling.

Very cozy and clean. I love that the staff was incredibly helpful and very friendly. I actually booked it twice on the same trip through the UK. Great place.

Great stay for the value. Staff is really lovely.

In total, it was nice and cozy and the staff was very friendly, but there was a bad smell from the bathroom always

Clean room and comfortable! Nice breakfast too across the square at their sister hotel

Reception staff were always really friendly. The rooms were clean and had kettle tea and coffee in them. The bed was very comfy, but the pillows were not brilliant. But then I swapped them about a bit with the extra ones in the wardrobe area, and much much better!

We didn't stay at the Ibis, as it had been overbooked. We were upgraded to the Novotel & given complimentary breakfasts. The staff there are really friendly, welcoming & helpful. We were really chuffed about the change in booking. Ended up with a comfy kingsize bed, a fridge, aircon, safety deposit box, large widescreen tv, kettle, coffee machine & complimentary tins of chilled water. They provide Rituals toiletries. The reception & bar are open 24/7. Umbrellas are available to use. Breakfast is 7am to 11am & help yourself/buffet style. Only negative comment would be that the fire alarm went off while we were still asleep. It sounded for around 5-10 mins. There were no staff around & there was no explanation. I couldn't get the coffee machine to work. My charging sockets didn't aappear to work.

Awful hotel, boiling hot, carpet had big bleach stains and the paint had been chipped of the walls in several places.

Excellent location, closer to Oxford Rd station than Piccadilly. We had a small but deceptively spacious twin room, beautifully presented. Only stayed one night and it was everything we needed. Breakfast was at the sister hotel, so easy to get to through a small courtyard and had a really good selection.

Good location, central

Great hotel.

The bathroom is very small

Good location staff very pleasant

On the plus side, the hotel is in a great and central location--an easy walk from Piccadilly station, close to all downtown attractions, St. Peter's Square, Chinatown, Gay Village, restaurants, etc. Bed was comfortable and my courtyard facing room was totally quiet. One doesn't need to ask for daily housekeeping , as one does in some much more expensive hotels these days. All this at a very good nightly rate. But this is still a budget hotel. Room is small and a bit tired--no desk or table if you need to do some work (as I did), a weird pre-fab bathroom (which had a faint smell of sewage for the first two days of my stay); one of the two elevators was out of service; and the otherwise OK lobby always with a stale smell of food (the lobby and a restaurant share the same space, though the latter always seemed empty). Am I too olfactorily sensitive? Not usually, but I would have had a much better impression of the place if it all smelled a bit fresher.

Reception staff very nice, bar/restaurant area nicely decorated and relaxed
