“Me and my daughter had an overnight stay here. The hotel was clean and rooms very well appointed. We had a meal in the evening and it was ok. My daughter enjoyed herself but mine was a little dry. The beds were very comfortable and bedlinen of good quality too. We didn't stay for breakfast. Overall it was a good stay and very handy for the Christmas Markets which we visited of course.”

“Maldron Hotel will be our home-away-from-home when visiting Manchester. My daughter and I had a wonderful stay, and the staff was very welcoming and kind. Annie was especially nice for fulfilling my daughter’s request (Thank you, Annie ). Our room was comfortable, and the amenities are ample considering the low cost. My daughter and I enjoyed breakfast, which we both thought was tasty. There is a £9/day open parking lot off of Duke Street, and it is just a short walk from the hotel. We are already looking forward to our next stay at this hotel.”

“Great location for us and the Q-Park virtually next door - with electric charging points and a discount - was a real bonus. Rooms weren't the biggest but nicely finished and clean and the beds were really comfy. Liked the bathroom and the waterfall shower too. Even the little extras like the tea and biscuits were an upgrade on the run of the mill stuff you usually get. The guy on the front desk was lovely - really helpful and friendly as were the bar staff. Overall, a great stay.”

“We had a truly wonderful experience from start to finish. We stayed as a family, and from the moment we arrived, we were greeted with such warmth and professionalism. We were even allowed to check in early, which made such a difference and immediately set the tone for a relaxed, enjoyable stay. The hotel was spotlessly clean, and the toiletries smelled absolutely beautiful — such a lovely touch. When the manager learned we were celebrating a 50th birthday, we were treated to a complimentary drink, which felt so thoughtful and personal. What really stood out, though, was the staff. Every single person we encountered was friendly, welcoming, and genuinely happy in their work. It created such a positive atmosphere throughout. We felt valued, looked after, and completely at ease. A fantastic experience all round — we’ll definitely be back.”
