Holiday Inn Express - Manchester - TRAFFORDCITY, an IHG Hotel

I found the reception staff very friendly and welcoming and check in process was straightforward. The room was a good size, bathroom was clean and had a very good shower. The bed was comfy too. I had breakfast each morning and there was plenty of choice. The marathon was on the Sunday so the breakfast room was very busy but I still managed to find a table and all the food was hot. As a lone traveller I felt safe in the hotel and car park. It's a stroll to the tram stop to visit Salford Quays or Manchester city centre and then a further walk to the Trafford centre.

I was there last Sunday and bank holiday Monday to watch a Man United match. I was greeted by their friendly reception team (didn’t get all of their names but one of them was called Michael Owen) who allowed me to leave my car in the parking lot (ample space) as I had arrived a few hours earlier than check-in time, super convenient and it cost £5 for 24 hours. Room was comfortable and clean, heating and air conditioning worked perfectly. Very close proximity to Trafford Centre Shopping Mall (8 mins walk) and the tram station is a 3 mins walk which could take you to Old Trafford Stadium and also Manchester City Centre within a few minutes. Tram is every 15 minutes. Uber is reliable in the area too. I would definitely choose this hotel if I were to drive up to Manchester again.

Clean modern hotel with perfect location, so close to Trafford Centre and many other amenities. Staff are incredible, and they go out of their way to make your stay as comfortable as possible! We were there to celebrate my daughters 10th birthday, staff members had signed a birthday card with a gift and left it in our room! How amazing and thoughtful. My daughter was over the moon! Thank you so much for your kindness and for making our stay unforgettable! ❤️

The location to the Trafford Centre and Trams was very convenient. The hotel was clean and the staff, all but one, were very friendly and helpful.

Booked a Saturday-Monday with family The location for what I needed was superb as soon as I arrived I was met with such professional kind hospitality the staff were helpful with everything it was a great experience all round I would use it again. The shower was amazing I really liked the choice of shower gel and hand soap they have already in the hotel , along with tea and coffee equipment in the room it’s just what you need. the beds were comfortable and the AC was easy to work and adjust my eldest slept on the pullout sofa bed they said it wasn’t too great but for a short stay it was fine. Breakfast had choices and was easy to navigate.
