Novotel

My boyfriend and I recently took a trip to Manchester, England to meet up with my bestfriend and his girlfriend who were in the UK on holiday. As time was limited, it was better that we visit them in Manchester, and not have them come to Glasgow.
We booked in the Novotel as that was where my friends were staying.
The entrance was grand and modern looking. Bright colours everywhere and the restaurant was just off to the left of the entrance. We got in to town much earlier than check in time, but we decided to see if they had a dropping point to leave our luggage so we could head out to meet our friends. To our complete surprise, they had a room free and we were able to drop our bags in our room, get settled for a bit and head out on the town.
The room is what you would expect out of a modern hotel. Big bright and airy. We booked in a queen sized room, which came with a pull out couch, plenty of storage and a wonderful bath that had a rainforest type shower system. The room had a wee refrigerator with overpriced waters, but just enough space to bring your own. The room was also equipped with wifi, and your standard kettle/​coffee/​tea/​biscuit selection. It got the job done, when it came time to get back to the room for a sleep.
We only had one small issue, if you could even call it that, and that was there was not enough milk for the coffee. My boyfriend takes a drop and I usually take enough to make my coffee less like coffee and more like milk with the taste of coffee. Not to fear, he ran down the hall to the cleaning person and was able to get more. Fab.
All in all, it’s a pretty standard hotel, and it gets the job done. The bed was a little firm for my liking and I could have done with a bit more covers at night, but my boyfriend can sleep anywhere, and we ended up having quite an enjoyable night.
I think if we were to go back to Manchester, I could see us staying here again. Not too pricey and close to everything.

A few mates and I went to Manchester for a night on out and something to eat. A friend booked us all into this hotel which is conveniently located in town and close to everything you need for a good night out.
It had clean and well fitted rooms and mostly importantly a place to rest after a fun night of drinking and being merry =)
Prices weren’t too bad and most importantly gave us a place to bunk. Good memories

Novotel is one cheeky fucker.
When you are offering Travelodge décor, Travelodge standard rooms and facilities, Travelodge tea & coffee making facilities, Travelodge views but charging a lot more than Travelodge, what exactly is your angle?!
I totally get Travelodge– it has every right to be rubbish– it charges accordingly and makes no attempt to hide what it is.
Novotel is a Travelodge in Hilton Hotel clothing and therefore, from what I can gather, it’s angle is being a cheeky fucker and its business is disappointment.

Stayed here many times. Good breakfast, great location for China Town and the Financial District. Park around the back in the Piazza very secure parking if a bit pricey

Nothing to write home about. Its just an ok hotel to put your head down for a night. Clean and no frills.

We stayed at the novotel in manchester earlier in the year for 1 night. We arrived at the hotel quite late and asked if there were any vacancies. Staff were extremely helpful and friendly. Room was very clean and quite spacious which was a bonus. Buffet breakfast was very good and was quite impressed that when we asked for some fresh fried eggs as the ones there looked liked they had been there a while, fresh ones were brought out within 5 mins. Location was excellent, right next to china town where we had an excellent meal. Overall a great hotel which made our weekend. Would definately stop here again

Standard hotel. Walking distance from Oxford Road railway station. Large anonymous hotel. Comfortable, with friendly staff. Free newspapers, great buffet breakfast. Liked the electric shoe cleaning machines!

Nice hotel, stay for a week in this hotel when I had a business trip. The breakfast was good and for dinner you could either eat in the resturant or the bar if you feel like watching football while you eat. The hotel is in a good location near lots of shops and fast food places. Also it was close to the train station as well.

The Novotel is a good value hotel in a great location. It is situated next to Chinatown and just a short walk away from the main shopping area. Although nothing extravagant, this hotel is clean, modern and comfortable and I would not hesitate to return. The hotel features a gym and a contemporary bar that serves delicious Cosmopolitan cocktails; perfect after a hectic day shopping. Although I have stayed at more expensive hotels in Manchester I would choose the Novotel as my favourite because of its bright and friendly atmosphere.
