Couldn't be handier for Terminal 2, about 3 minutes walk, some of which is under cover. Strolling across to the terminal after a leisurely breakfast is much less stressful than travelling to the airport on the day of your flight. Obviously, it adds cost, but we had the half board package, which extends your holiday and gets it off to the best possible start. We travelled in on the train, which is approximately 15 minutes walk, mostly along the covered skywalk.

Signage from the train station could be better, but basically follow signs for T2, get the lift down to ground level and cross over the road via pelican crossing.

All good at the hotel - the room, staff and breakfast were top notch. It was straightforwards to walk directly to the departures area. You can park free for up to 1 hr in their car park on arrival which was great for us to unpack and unwind before i moved the car to the long stay and got the (free) shuttle bus back to the airport. It was then a short (but hard to navigate) walk back to the hotel (see below).

Not the hotel's fault but the signposting to it from the airport was not good. Ended up walking on a busy roadway when there was a footpath through the car park.

Exceptional friendly curious staff from the lovely helpful receptionist to the equally lovely waiters in the restaurant. Minutes walk from terminal 2 Great restaurant, great food . A fabulous room with a seating area which is an added bonus of not having to sit on the bed or on a hard chair A complimentary drinks in the fridge plus chocolate bars I Usually stay in Raddison Blue T2 Manchester but this hotel Holiday Inn is definitely the better and who I shall use in the future

Nothing whatsoever

I chose this hotel because of its location at terminal 2. We arrived by train and It was a short walk to the Hotel, maximum 15 minutes, all under the covered walkways. It was a much shorter walk next morning to the terminal and check in, probably 3 minutes. The Hotel its self is excellent, modern and clean and very comfortable. I would definitely chose this hotel again.

We usually travel from Heathrow and 2 months ago we paid £69.00 at the Radisson Red for a 1 night stay prior to flying. All the "on site" hotels at Manchester are considerably dearer than Heathrow and I can only relate that back to there is less competition. All the hotels at Manchester "on site" were £100.00 plus per night.

Couldn’t be closer to our Manchester arrival point - Terminal 2. An easy 5 minute walk. Modern fit out with a well appointed Standard Room layout. Very comfortable double bed. Quiet. We had the buffet breakfast which had everything you would need to get the day off to a good start. Prepared to a high standard with attentive staff in attendance.

The official check in time is 1500 hrs. We arrived just before 1400 and unfortunately had to wait for a services room to become available, which one did just before 1500. I know this met the obligation but it was a bit tough after flying for a day from Australia to get there.

Nice room, very clean, good water pressure in the shower and enough space for 2 people. We stayed only one night as it was near the airport and we had an early flight the next morning. Excellent location for T2, not so much for T3! Make sure you book at their restaurant as there are slim pickings for dinner nearby otherwise. There's not much at the airport!

The bathroom hand basin didn't drain, it must be very blocked which was very frustrating. We advised the hotel reception on departure. This should have been picked up by the cleaners, but not reported. or it was and no action was taken. Hopefully subsequent people staying in this room don't have this problem.

I systematically use this hotel for my overnight stay before an early morning flight in Manchester Airport. The staff are really good and the Turkish style restaurant also provides British alternatives for people that do not want to use their palate. All the stuff from reception from bar and everyone in between are very helpful and nice and very much willing to accommodate everyone's particular requests and needs. Concerning the rooms they are very comfortable and the climate control gives you the ability to have your ideal temperature for sleeping. Bathroom is big and the shower is very much enjoyable. Highly recommend.

This time during my stay the minibar fridge was not working this bite me trying to use different plugs so I think the fridge was malfunctioning. There also was a stain on the curtain which I have attached a picture. This is not the standard that I am used to.

We had evening meal I thought it was expensive and quite average. Room was fine but there was a faint smell of drains if the bathroom door was left open. The mini bar was complementary the breakfast was excellent. It was great for going to Terminal 2 and from the train station which was why I booked and would book again if travelling from Manchester airport.

They said the room was ready but room service had not fully completed it the minibar was empty and loo rolls were requested but didn't turn up. Some disposable slippers would have been good as there was non.

From the beginning reception staff great very helpful with booking in and restaurant details etc. The room the best we have ever stayed in corner settee excellent bed bathroom excellent. We ate at the restaurant and the selection was wide to suit all tastes. I had the fish which was excellent. We also ate at the breakfast buffet with a great selection to suit everyone from full english to a selection of cold meats etc and serials. So all in all a great place to stay the day before you fly it is situated right outside terminal two terminal three is a 15 minute walk.

Well we had to leave to catch our flight

We stayed here due to a cancelled flight, so we booked very last minute and didn't arrive until gone 9pm. The staff were so efficient in checking us in, which was appreciated since we were with our very young children; the room was already well prepared for our needs, and when we requested additional items this was met quickly and by friendly staff. The room was extremely comfortable, clean and with very modern furnishings and accessories (I particularly liked the great shower controls!). Breakfast was superb too, and catered to our needs of vegetarian items and an egg allergy.

There was nothing I didn't like about this.
