The Edwardian Manchester, A Radisson Collection Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Rather pleasant stay. Room was excellent. Very very comfortable bed. Gym facilities were also excellent. Great equipment. Food was also very nice. However, was not a fan of the scrambled eggs at breakfast, seemed watery and slightly raw. I also would like to make a special mention to Rafat who was absolutely exceptional member of the team who went above and beyond with room service. Rafat was extremely pleasant, kind and very very helpful. So thankyou for the kind hospitality shown Rafat. 5 star service! And that service alone is why I will be returning!"

Britannia Hotel Manchester

8/10 Good

"Pros + Location + Price + Ease of checking in and out"
