The Midland - QHotels

Great location

This place is in the heart of Manchester, in one of its most beautiful buildings. It’s worth is just for that. It’s not perfect; reception never seems to have enough people working so there’s always a wait. Our room key kept on de-magnetizing for no reason we could figure out and we were constantly having to get it re-programmed. There are very few tv channels avaialable. They’re kind of stingy with the towels. Still, I recommend it because of the amazing building and the location, if the price is right.

Nice Hotel!!! Great Location!!!

We booked this hotel as it appeared to be in an ideal location for many reasons. I had Manchester United tickets with my friend so getting to and from the stadium was fairly easy. Our wife’s also tagged along but did not go to the game and went shopping instead. The shops and shopping centres were also was very close by and only a short walk away which suited them to the ground. They also enjoyed the use of the hotel spa. Eating out was good. We dinned in the evening very close by in a fantastic Italian restaurant up the road from the hotel called Don Giovannis which was amazing and also very well priced!! definately recommended. We felt the breakfast at the hotel was quite expensive so i would advice not to pre-book this as there are some lovely cafes across the street from the hotel that serve great full English breakfasts for less than a fiver and they were lovely!! The hotel rooms were very nice, very clean and spacious and very comfortable. The Hotel staff were very helpful and polite and were happy to advise us with directions etc... There is no parking at the Hotel due to its excellent central location. However you can leave your car in the nearby secure NCP for £15 per night or you can do what we did and leave the car with the Hotel who provide an excellent valet service and take your car for you and pick it up for and extra £5 each way. We really enjoyed our stay here and would go back again. Thanks.

Great location for the Shopping, Eating out and not far from the local Bars and Night life!!!

Good facilities but some flaws

The Midland Hotel is well located near Manchester Central Library. From the outside the building doesn’t look that wonderful but the interior is lovely. We arrived at about midnight and found our room had been upgraded from standard to Deluxe, which was a very welcome surprise. The deluxe room was excellent, a huge bed (2 double matresses wide) large flatscreen TV, separate luggage/dressing area, nice bathroom etc. The hotel had posted signs that there could be large queues at breakfast and advising guests to arrive pre 9am. Indeed this was correct, we got seated quickly but by about 9.30 there was a large queue. We did however, have to call down for to ask for our room to be cleaned and the turn down service we requested never happened. The Midland advertises its Cream Teas, we were told that they only had 2 of these left when we placed our order- some people could have been disappointed and missed out on this tasty treat. The gym has a good range of equipment and the pool was very nice and clean. It was however a little small and so to have room for a good swim you really had to be one of only about 3 people in the water!

Very well located for Manchesters main shopping street and the Arndale centre
