The Portland Thistle Manchester Hotel Guest Reviews


3 out of 5

Compact room (not ideal if you are a little on the large side!). Everything clean, good sized flat screen TV, digital safe. Air con/heating completely controllable, but a bit noisy. Close up view of decor within bathroom revealed a bit of attention needed (not nice to see untidy, peeling bathroom sealant when you're relaxing in the bath). Could do with air extraction within bathroom. Staff in reception were professional, but in no way welcoming - completely lacking any warmth or friendliness. Didn't stay in for breakfast...much better options (& value for money) within restaurants close by in the city.

Being used to American sized hotel rooms, the rather stark and shoebox sized rooms were quite shocking. The staff worked with us (and were so nice it was almost unbelievable) to find us a room we were happy with. Breakfast is overpriced at ten pounds. Walk over the road for a freshly cooked English cafe breakfast for 3.99 GBP. Did not see the leisure center. Do not miss eating in China Town, which is located a five minute walk away.

nice hotel, friendly staff, allowed early check in which was very nice after long flight from Australia. Average size room but clean. Booking did state had wifi internet included but did not get it when asked for it. Asked a new person at front desk and was give a 24 hour BT wifi card. Not sure if I would have got one if stayed more than 1 day. Would stay again.

If it is location you need in Manchester , then this is the hotel. Food is good and served late at night which is a benefit.
