牛津酒店曼彻斯特

A 1970s office block converted into a hotel. Rooms are huge by UK standard, both the room and equipment are very clean. Staff is friendly and experienced. The main complaint would be the WiFi - averaging 100-500kb/s, which is slow even by 2010 standards. Certainly need a replacement. Elevators only stop on even floors, so you would need to walk 1/2 floor up or down to the 1F reception or room (uneven floor for me). Elevator is very fast and there are 3 of them, so no issues at all. The nearby Eccles Shopping Centre is being redeveloped, so it can get quiet at night. Large supermarket just opposite to the hotel. The Eccles town centre and train/tram station in around 5 minutes.

Basically ok for short stay. I checked in after midnight, staff was still around. But there were some people in the corridor slammed and knocked the door, probably for other rooms, felt a bit unsafe. And there was strong and over fragrance in the room that lasts forever. other things were all good.

Very good

The room was very clean and there was a kettle and tea facilities. Staff were friendly and the breakfast was very good and good value. The stairs and floors were confusing as lifts stopped on a half floor so up or down a flight of stairs to reception, restaurant or room. The thermostat to the shower was not working so had to stop my husband with dementia from showering as the water was scalding hot so no shower for two days. The corridor reeked of cigarette smoke so some guests obviously smoking in their rooms.

Clean

Was pleasantly surprised by the hotel and room, considering it being a last minute reservation and the price being so low. The staff were very welcoming and the room was lovely and clean. It even came with a little kettle and tea and coffee supplies. The meals are reasonably priced, however, I cannot comment on these as we did not eat in at the hotel restaurant. The hotel bar also looked very clean and welcoming, but again, we did not take advantage of this amenity. The hotels location, being directly opposite an Aldi, is very convenient and public transport is only a 5 minute walk away making it ideal. However, I will state that the hotel doesn't accommodate for those with severe mobility issues/chair uses, due to the elevators stopping between floors. We were given a room on the 6th floor so needed to catch the elevator to the 7th floor and then walk down a flight of stairs to reach our floor. That is the only issue we could see for people but we had an amazing time in Manchester and at the Ox hotel. Will definitely be booking again the next time we visit.

Great stay. Very clean room. Staff very friendly. Fantastic value for money.

Room was clean, staff were quite pleasant.

The curtains in the room had stains all over them. The dusk was shocking and the shower was full of mould. Staff was lovely but I wouldn’t stay again.

Room was basic. Beds were okay. Breakfast was excellent. Staff were very friendly.

Yesbroom was very clean. The breakfast was first class and the staff at the breakfast was friendly and helpful

L’Ox Hotel Manchester è una struttura un po’ datata, ma ben tenuta. Le camere sono spaziose e soprattutto molto pulite, aspetto per me fondamentale. Il personale è stato sempre gentile, disponibile e accogliente, facendoci sentire a nostro agio fin dall’arrivo. La colazione è davvero fantastica, varia e di qualità, un ottimo modo per iniziare la giornata. Nel complesso, l’hotel offre un eccellente rapporto qualità/prezzo. Molto comoda anche la possibilità di cenare nel pub all’interno della struttura, una soluzione pratica durante il soggiorno.

was spotless

Good, clean room, friendly staff and good breakfast for reasonable price £10

Excellent value. The only minor issues were sorted immediately by staff (shower too hot) The only other issue we had was other residents not closing their doors properly which led to a warning beeping but only by the time the person was half way down in the lift. On one hand, this woke us up several times. On the other it’s a good way of letting potential thieves know which doors are open. Could do with a little note on each door to inform people about this or a mention at check in.

The room was clean, the staff friendly, but what impressed me most, was the fact that the room was cleaned on our second day. When we walked into our room the night after an exhausting day out, it was marvellous to have a clean room. The upgrade was also special. We will definitely visit again.

The reception area and bar are on the second floor and are delightful. However the corridors and stairwells were shabby, dingy and unwelcoming. The room was very basic but OK. All clean apart from the windows, where the frames were covered with mould and dirt. I wiped some off with a piece of tissue, so it is neglect of cleaning rather than staining. The mattresses were incredibly uncomfortable and lumpy which sadly meant it wasnt a great night's sleep, although it was very quiet with little noise from outside or inside the building. The car park has plenty of spaces and is very reasonable at £2 per 24 hours. On my second night I arrived back at 2am to the main doors locked and no way to contact anyone- I tried calling reception with no answer and knocking on the door with no response. Thankfully another guest came down to smoke and let me in. Some kind of sign or doorbell would be useful if the desk staff have to step away, so guests arent left standing outside in the cold in the middle of the night.

Clean and spacious

Easy check in. Ample parking. Comfortable, clean quiet room.

Breakfast menu was great!
