Re: Manchester hotels
Anywhere in the city centre will be fine for Failsworth to be honest. You can just get a tram out there.
I really look forward to your feedback on pubs in Failsworth.

Re: Manchester hotels
There's a brand new hotel, The Dakota, near Piccadilly. Or the Malmaison, Holiday Inn, Double Tree and Motel One.
I love the look of your two NQ hotels, Beena, but I'd read reviews about noise. Anything on the main drag might have lots of noisy passing crowds at the weekend and some of the beautiful warehouse buildings aren't very soundproof (single glazed windows a particular issue) as they're listed buildings (used to live in one and know this well!)

Re: Manchester hotels
I will not be doing a pub crawl there
I am struggling to find anything under £100 per night tbh, I don't know if I'm being unrealistic but that seems a bit steep to me.

Re: Manchester hotels
There's a few apart hotels.
La Reserve Aparthotel
StayCIty at Piccadilly

Don't book through booking.com though, you should be able to get a better rate booking direct.

Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me either, just fuck off and leave me alone.

Re: Manchester hotels
Have you looked at the Travel Lodge on Great Ancoats Street? I stayed there once for three weeks (long story) and it was basic but fine.

Re: Manchester hotels
I'll check all these out, thank you. The Dakota looked great but was 225 a night!

Re: Manchester hotels
Prices have shot up in the last couple of years. Hotels that used to be just under the £100 are £200-250 a night. We once stayed in the Holiday Inn in Stockport as it's next to the station and a direct train into the city centre. It was a fraction of the price and as quick as walking across town.sally maclennane wrote: ↑Tue Jun 18, 2019 9:02 pmI will not be doing a pub crawl there

There's a Premier Inn at the backend of Spinningfields that used to be far cheaper than the others as it's classed as Salford, but it's probably closer to the centre than the one classed as central Manchester. People might have cottoned on to that now though.

Re: Manchester hotels
I think if you want under £100, then you're going to be looking at travelodges and Prem Inns. Especially if it's at a weekend during the football season.

Ah, football season probably explains it! Bloody out of town fans, they should support their local teams
I would spend a bit more but J thinks its madness, so I reckon we'll just go for a Premier Inn.

You can't go wrong with a Premier to be fair.
If your back's against the wall, turn around and write on it.

Re: Manchester hotels
I'm fine with a PI, it would have been nice to get a better hotel but not at 250 a night!
I will book it soon as J keeps finding "bargain" hotels near the venue which I'm gathering is not the chi chi part of town

Re: Manchester hotels
The Ibis on Princess Street is not particularly good, thin walls, doors that close with a bang, pod style bathroom that were not that well cleaned and a lot of street noise too.

It might be better to stay somewhere better, like Liverpool?

Re: Manchester hotels
Bumping this to ask for restaurant recs! We realised that the weekend is close to our anniversary so apart from the obvious treat of a gig in a pub in a shady part of Manchester ( #blessed #spoiled), we will have a nice meal on the Saturday night.
Any suggestions of good restaurants near our hotel?

Red True Barbecue was awesome when we were there for The Meet. Hardly a romantic meal for two, but the food was bloody ace.
