Hotels near Gorton Monastery, Manchester

Not impressed to be honest! Booked to stay in an executive room but there wasn’t anything executive about it, we had no fridge or water which I read on their website is included, there were also no leaflets or information of any kind in the room which was really strange, because we checked in late after being at a local concert I didn’t want to call about the fridge but it was disappointing. Aircon in the room made no difference, room was very warm and even though I turn the fan to its highest and the temp to its lowest it made no difference. Was disappointed with breakfast, cheap sachets of sauces and even cheaper beans that tasted awful, my daughter tried the smoothie and it was so sour it was inedible,I tried it so can confirm why she wasn’t drinking it! Also cold hard croissants with nowhere you could have arm them up. I’d rather stay in the premier inn at least you have working aircon and a decent breakfast!!

The hotel is situated super near train station and Manchester airport. Shuttle bus service was good and drivers of the shuttle bus were helpful and humor. Hence, try not to walk to the hotel although it seems in a walking distance. Hotel room is spacious and well lit. Hotel's breakfast is good as well. Hence, it's definitely a good choice for short morning flight.

Booked this hotel as there was a train strike the day of my flight. Also it's right next to the airport and slightly cheaper than Radissons inside the airport. However, there were no signs from the train station for the hotel. I ended walking around roundabouts I'm not supposed to be on! Turned out I should have walked inside the airport to get out nearer the hotel. Bit of a queue at check in, but ok otherwise. Room was comfy, with a settee. The coffee cups seem to leak- both of them! Would appear to be the material the cups were made of. Big soft towels were a delight. Separate bottles on the wall for shower gel, shampoo, conditioner. Good shower, options of normal and rain shower in a big shower area. Check out was easy, I didn't pay for breakfast. I did a short run in the morning around the hotel car park! Needs must... Overall, I would recommend it, as long as you know how to walk to the hotel from the airport safely! I would recommend the hotel liaise with the airport about signage. If there were signs and I missed it, then they need to be prominent, including detailed directions on the website.

What a fantastic wee hotel the Brooklyn is! We stayed here on the night of the 19th of June for one night before heading off abroad the next day. Great location and a very quirky little hotel far exceeding expectations and better than some of these corporate giants, loved it! Staff were all exceptional to us, friendly and professional always. Bar staff on that evening get a special mention as they were brilliant. Cocktails were out of this world, as stated by Cocktail Queen herself who I was travelling with. Loved the terrace style seating near the bar, never seen that before! Rooms were awesome, bathroom fantastic and I did have a good chuckle at the fact that you could see into the bathroom from the bedroom through a one-way glass panel, hilarious! Everything smelt so wonderfully clean in the building too and I could not fault this place at all! A wonderful stay and a big thanks to all the staff that were on that evening and the next day, you should all be exceptionally proud of yourselves!

I do like a hotel with a good gym and pool facilities, and the facilities at the Waterside were outstanding. There's a large cardio room overlooking the pool, a Ladies Only area with cardio, resistance machines and free weights, and (apparently) a weights/resistance room though I never got as far as finding that! There is a poolside jacuzzi, and the thermal suite houses a sauna, multiple steam rooms (so there is always one that's hot and steamy?) and a jacuzzi pool with massage pressure shower-style jets so strong that 2 days later my shoulders still feel like I had a sports massage! Sadly the jacuzzi jets in that pool seem to be on a timer and they shut down before I got to experience them (other people in the bubbly area and I was waiting my turn...) and I was too impatient to sit and wait the several minutes for them to come back on so I gave up after a couple of minutes and moved on, lol. The gym is open 24 hours, so even though I only stayed one night I was able to visit twice, choosing to spend my morning time in the gym rather than having breakfast. The changing area / locker room was large and clean, and the wristbands which allow access to the changing area as well as the lockers are very convenient. All the staff I encountered were welcoming, friendly and helpful. The first impression they created on arriving set the level for the whole stay. The hotel area seems to have been recently decorated, and the bathroom fittings in particular, with 2 shower options including a large 'rainfall' shower fitting felt very luxurious. Kettle with tea and coffee (and biscuits ;) ) Iron, hairdryer.... all the things one would expect.... Ample parking, bar, coffee shop. My biggest disappointment is that, when I first made a reservation here I booked the wrong dates, and by the time I realised there was no longer availability for the dates I wanted, so when I visited the area 2 weeks ago I had to stay somewhere else, so I only got to stay at this hotel once instead of twice!

I stayed at the Milton last night the 22nd and it was excellent. I had read the reviews and was a bot concerned by them so approached the entrance with caution. Its clear the building used to be an office block and home to the DHSS. I was directed to the hotel reception where the pleasant surprises began clean airy and a very efficient and welcoming receptionist. Then onto the room which medium sized was warm the bed comfortable and the shower powerful . I ate in the bar and had a well cooked meal and a beer . Next morning breakfast was simply incredible value the selection was large the coffee good and the produce used a step up. All the staff I interacted with were friendly and helpful . Its cheap but its great

My husband and I came to the hotel on Friday 7/10/2022 room 1216 I honestly couldn't say anything negative about this hotel . The moment we walked in Georgia and neelam on reception greeted us warmly and explained everything. Once we settled in we came back to the bar to enjoy the amazing range of cocktails made by Gabriel :) the bar staff were all amazing from the manager phoebe to Pablo and andree they couldn't do more to make you feel welcome . Our room did have a view of the construction but we expected that as we are in the middle of Manchester and it was not a problem at all . The breakfast was beautiful unfortunately I didn't get the gentleman's name who was clearing the tables but he was so nice lastly I would like to give mo from housekeeping a massive shout out our room was spotless and he even gave me a kit kat 😀 what stands out about this hotel is the staff and I mean all the staff shine they all greet you with smiles and I know how hard that can be for a full shift 😀 can't wait to come back thank you

The room itself was nice and clean. Reception basically can not see people, wifi password can not find people to ask. I heard loud noises from next door from 8:00 to 8:00 in the morning. The whole hotel is very abnormal, giving people a very unsafe feeling. Downstairs is the flagship store of gay bar street.

Whilst the receptionist was extremely friendly, for the price - you are getting what you pay for here. It will do for a very short stay. The walls/ ceilings seem thin because for most the night it sounded like a herd of elephants were walking above us. Mattresses were dirty but beds were fairly comfortable. Shower was basic but there were signs of mould and wear/tear (cracks to sink, wallpaper coming off etc). Definite water issues too as you couldn't flush toilet more than once in succession and the water filled the bottom after having a shower. The bathroom door handle came off it's hinges so we couldn't risk shutting the door fully. And our room front door lock didn't look overly sturdy/safe

Rooms are clean and tidy. Lovely comfy bed but pillows need replacing as falling apart There was no hairdryer in our room but this was quickly rectified once we asked for one, We had a lovely chilled stay in our room but would not recommend the in house restaurant. I have left a separate review of that..👎 Reception and cleaning staff who we met around the hotel were super friendly. We were on floor 5 and it was so peaceful. If I hadn’t heard a shower (very quiet) next door I would have thought we were the only ones on that floor. Hotel is just a short walk from everywhere so in a good position… Only criticism is the hotel is so hot and I mean hot. You melt at reception when you check in. Also we couldn’t get the air con to work in our room so it was. Constantly 19 degrees
