DoubleTree by Hilton Manchester Airport

Great location, 20 minutes walk from terminal 2, 15 minutes from train station. See map attached.

Upgraded to a larger room. Fast check in and near the airport. Good breakfast.

The location is just 10 minutes walk from Manchester Airport Terminal 1. The room is clean but there is no fridge at all. It is a bit out of expectation that the bar and restaurant in the hotel are actually look exactly as its conference halls, I think they just put tables and chairs there in café setting and make it the restaurant, no any decent lighting, furniture, decorations to boost an dining atmosphere, not even sounds like a place for breakfast. You can see from the picture the venue can be reverted back to a conference hall just removing the table sets. A bit disappointed for the dinner of the night's stay as it is at hotel pricing, food is just ok. If you don't want to eat in the hotel, there is nothing close by unless you travel to other areas, the closest walkable location is the airport or the train station.

Negatives: 1. Sewage smell all night in room 2. Shower gel empty 3. Shower location being side of the shower is unsafe and uncomfortable to shower 4. Shower is weak 5. Beds uncomfortable- mattress to lumpy and springy, pillows too soft 6. Blood on the single couch bed 7. Room for 3 but only accommodate for 2. Towels were OK, with a spare towel in the wardrobe 8. The room looked like it was used already that day 9. Charged us for parking and when enquired about airport shuttle she said there is also a charge for that. 10. Asked for toothbrush as my wife forgot hers but they said they don't have and said no shops nearby. Positives: 1. Staff friendly 2. Nice touch at checkin with the warm cookies 3. Also nice map by the elevators but why is Lebanon the only country on the map that is abbreviated as LEB? It's very strange ?? Definitely not a standard of 4 stars Double Tree. Maximum this location should be is 2 stars

Nice cheap option when all the hotels in central Manchester were so expensive. Less than 5 mins walk to station and frequent trains into town. Didn’t spend much time here but bar service was great and rooms were clean and spacious. Buffet breakfast was very nice too

Nice experience and a pleasant service. The facilities were adequate.
