This is the grande dame of Manchester hotels, where Rolls met Royce. But she isn't what she was. No longer the best hotel in Manchester, the furnishing and decoration are cheap and some renovation is needed. The gym is dingy and the bedroom decorations a bit off. Staff and breakfast are ok and the location is great. Dont expect luxury... More

I cannot praise this hotel and the staff enough. From the minute we checked in we knew that our stay was going to be perfect. The hotel is definitely the grandest in the North West, it has luxury and old school style paired with every modern necessity you would ever need. Our suite was huge and had a real Victorian... More

We stayed on the Midland on a weekend break to Manchester and unlike the majority of new hotels springing up in the City centres, this one has retained the elegant features of the old Victorian Railway hotel, while modernising. Afternoon tea on a Saturday with the pianist tinkling away both old and new classics is a delight. The rooms were... More

I went to University in Manchester and have always wanted to stay in the Midland, so thought I'd treat myself. The hotel itself is stunning, the staff were so helpful. The external windows in my room were not able to be opened, which meant the room became stuffy quickly. Whilst the air con worked well, it was so loud and... More

The Midland is an amazing hotel but what makes it even better is the service. From the minute I stepped through the door I was greeted with smiling, helpful staff who couldn't do enough for me. I got the feeling that no matter what I asked for or needed they would accommodate me. As a disabled person, the consideration that... More

Reception very friendly and cannot fault them, lobby beautiful and hotel well located and clean, but rest of stay was very disappointing. No external noise in room (partly because can not open windows as painted shut) but room itself stuffy and very noisy because of... More

I just came back from a weekend in Manchester, staying at the Midland. The taxidrivers called it "the best hotel in M", and it just might be. At least it has a grandeur that not any others have in Manchester. Nice rooms, friendly staff (except from a rather pushy guy at breakfast..) and sensible prices did the trick for me.... More
