This is the first time we have stayed at this hotel and what a pleasant stay we had,from we arrived until checkout we were treated very well indeed. Breakfast was help yourself continental style buffet and then your waiter took your order for a cooked breakfast which was faultless and very enjoyable. My only complaint of our stay was the... More

I was going to be in Manchester, alone, on business so I wanted a hotel that was central and comfortable. The positive reviews I read about the MacDonald Townhouse made this seem a good choice. It is well located on the junction of two main roads. Unfortunately, the room I had on the first night [a Classic] did not have... More

I had a standard room it was fine. If you can go for a better room, do. The staff were great. I like the place. The other MacDonald has a gym. That would make me think twice about staying here again. Oh the phone in my room had a flashing light that I couldn't turn off - maddening! A decent... More

We spent the weekend of the Manchester marathon at The MacDonald Townhouse Hotel.The room was clean, well appointed, and comfortable. The only comment I would make is that the lighting in the bathroom cast shadows making makeup and shaving awkward, and the room's air conditioning controls have no light source, making it difficult to see. That said the rest of... More

The location is ideal for central Manchester. The staff were excellent throughout our stay, even bright and cheerful at 6.20am in the morning as we checked out. The hotel is stylishly decorated, and this applies through the public areas and into the rooms. My room was a good size, and had a generous bathroom with a bath, so nice to... More

Great location in the centre of manchester close to the shopping area and good nightlife, although it is a bit noisy late at night. The staff are all very nice and the ambience and decor of the public areas is very good. The bedrooms are well decorated and the beds were extremely comfortable, however we had a problem with the...

This is a lovely hotel in a great location for exploring the city. The staff were very polite and the service was very attentive. Our room was lovely and we didn't experience either noise from the street, or the room being too warm as mentioned by others. The bed was very comfy. We only stayed 1 night and we didn't... More
