easyHotel Manchester

I took a 5 pound ‘bribe’ to write this. But my conscience is clear because I was going to write some kind words anyway, before the manager’s offer to write a review. That avoided paying a fiver to leave my bag at reception for a few hours after check out. Easy has become my go to hotel when I occasionally pass thru Manchester. The price is an unbeatable attraction. So too is the location. The hotel could hardly be closer to Manchester city centre, a stone’s throw from Piccadilly Gardens tram stop. And just a few minutes walk from both Piccadilly and Victoria rail stations. On the doorstep are many restaurants and pubs, Chinatown and the village are a stroll away. The triangular-shaped building resembles the flat iron landmark in New York city. Big flagstones on the floor of entrance show the building’s age. So do the original brick walls and high wooden ceilings retained in rooms. The vintage heavy wooden entrance door is also still there. But the modern sliding door replacement somehow takes ages to shudder open. Check-in and out with friendly staff is a breeze. Rooms are small and probably best for solo travellers to avoid a tight squeeze. Noise from next door was heard last time I stayed but not this maybe because not so busy? Comfy double bed, adjustable heating control, small wall mounted tv and strip lighting for dimming adds to coziness.

Great budget hotel for a quick trip! Fantastic location, easy to check in and out. Friendly and helpful staff. Ideal for those who plan on spending no time in the room! The rooms in the hotel were very small which was fine as we spent all of our time out in the city. It was a bit of a squeeze with all our bags etc but we made it work! (Think slightly bigger than a room on a ferry). My sister had a twin room which felt much more spacious so I would recommend that for those looking for a little more space. The black out blind in the room was also very welcome on the following morning of our stay!

Exceeded what I expected. I had previously stayed in a London branch, but Manchester were better than that. Location was brilliant. Everyone I spoke to was lovely. The room was better quality than I anticipated. Not perfect, but decent. I read that the wifi might be rubbish, but it was better than the Premier Inn I stayed in a few months back.

About 2 minutes walk from the town centre, was really clean, exceptional for the price compared to all the other hotels around the area! The staff were really nice they are a huge compliment to the hotel. There was a coffee machine that did coffees, teas, hot chocolate and free hot water. There was a vending machine with snacks in it. There was a lift and stairs, the hallways were immaculately clean. We had free wifi, a tv with lots of channels, a huge window. The room was small but very modern and had an exposed brick wall which was super beautiful. We would definitely stay here again it was superb, i really recommend it!

Nice simple room. I just wanted a straightforward room for a good sleep before travelling to airport. I slept well. The window couldn't be opened (street level), but the user friendly air con. made it OK. I like orange, so I enjoyed the decor - (exposed brick with some orange highlights throughout hotel) -clean, simple. Very easy to walk to Piccadilly Station, then an easy train ride to airport.
