Silkstone Holidays from £156

In general the hotel is nice. Lifts are quick, if a little confusing, because of the need to validate each upward journey. Breakfast was good as was the view. The air-con was insufficient to maintain a nice temperature with a winter duvet so I slept on top of the duvet so as to not overheat. My main complaint is that I booked a twin and got a double handicapped suite! The suite was nice but having to sleep with my adult son did not make me or him happy. For that reason sleep was intermittent, however, the bed itself was comfortable. Other issue was that the recommended parking (Printworks) is about a block away and is not dead cheap. If it's raining then getting your luggage to and from your car will be a issue. We were lucky.

Great walking distance from Deansgate road which leads you to most of all the great places in Manchester. Enjoyed my stay!

Very easy location to be in, good customer service and clean

First time staying in Manchester and first time at the "The Alan" in both cases it will not be the last. Fantastic hotel with great rooms, friendly staff (Jeff) and really good breakfast. Quality bed, quality towels and simple layout to the room. Staff were amazing and very helpful and the location of the hotel could not be better for exploring Manchester.

The check-in process was slow. The room had one dining chair missing from the table and the soundproofing was not effective. I could hear the lift and also streetnoise as the window did not tightly close. The space was great and the breakfast was good.
