Guest Reviews

• C8267RYkevinm (10/5): Very Good Hotel - Cleanliness room very good bed very comfortable and the room location was very peaceful. Location was away from the hustle and bustle of the city centre but only 10mins walk away.
• karley4 (2/5): Do not sray here if youd like to ger any kind of sleep - Stayed here whilst attending course at the QA Training center ...... DO NOT book if you would like any kind of sleep.....this has got to be one of the noisiest hotels i have ever slept in....screaming and shouting in the streets all night, felt like i may as well have slept on the street itself... at 3.40am i finally gave you trying to even get any sleep altogether which is just what i didnt need after a full days study the day before and a full days study and exam coming up on that day....The room was dirty, with some very questionable stains splashed across the headboard and the carpets were dirty and marked...Our breakfast was horrid with a burnt oil taste. The only highlight was our little giggle at the young man who we refered to as Basil from Faulty Towers as he was holding the fort on the reception, greeted us upon entry at dinner service, served us and ran into the Kitchen to help with the food.... poor man was multitasking to his best!!
• JoannaO694 (10/5): Welcoming and as expected - The room was as expected, fairly basic, clean, a good size and reasonably priced. Zoya was friendly, welcoming and extremely helpful. I was permitted to stay in the room an extra 20 minutes beyond checkout at no extra charge and this was very much appreciated and helpful in terms of meetings that day. Thanks for a great stay!
• kikilarue (4/5): Blighted by noise - Good location, cheap rate. I've stayed many times but last night I was on the st James street side of the hotel. This is directly above Wetherspoons, unlucky. you can listen to bottle bins being emptied into a skip every hour until about 12am. Then you can listen to barrel deliveries from 5am. Won't stay here again
• herefordliz (10/5): Great Hotel - I came back to stay here to meet up with a friend and to look at the Christmas markets. It is so easy to find and such a lovely welcome when you arrive. I was able to take my bags straight up to the room when I arrived and went round the market with my friend. The room was cold when I arrived, but when I was able to close the window, it took a while to warm up. The bed was really comfortable, the room and bathroom were very clean. The restaurant was kept clean and tidy. I went to 2 breakfasts and I ate in the restaurant the 1st evening and the food was really lovely. I would recommend staying at The Premier Inn Portland Street.
• E8926RYhollys (8/5): Lovely staff and communal areas but room was tatty - Stayed here overnight, lovely comfy mattress people on front desk and the door were lovely as was the lobby and communal areas, but the paint in the bathroom was peeling almost all up the wall, dark heavy scuffs in the room and bathroom and the fan was dusty/mouldy my partner got really itchy can’t say for certain what it was but the picture shows how bad it looks.
• M9508ADelaineb (10/5): Stayed more than once here - Great location only couple miles from Salford and Manchester. Quiet and comfortable . Immaculately clean , good low level shower. Nothing to complain of. Staff very friendly and helpful , I feel they go above and beyond for guests. Nothing is too much trouble.
• VickySmith13 (8/5): Clean and comfortable - Clean and comfortable, with the facilities you'd expect from a budget chain. They promise a good nights sleep and things like a good mattress and adequate sound insulation are key to this. Pleasing decor and I liked that the TV wasn't mounted flush on the dividing wall (it's got an extra insulating board behind it) so less of an issue with noise from other rooms. Heating can be adjusted to suit though the thermostat reset overnight so I found it too warm when i woke up. Free WiFi is a nice perk. Convenient location and easy to find if you don't mind the inevitable traffic jams on Mottram Moor or the roundabout at the end of the M67. Its underneath one of the flight paths into Manchester airport but noise from planes, and the traffic, not a problem unless you have the window open. (For me, the ability to open the window is a definite plus point.) Couldn't use the restaurant as it was closed. I understand this was temporary, but it would have been nice to be told before booking. (I know they are different companies but its the same group). The only other option within walking distance was a Macdonalds! If you know the area there are several other options within a few miles. However I would have preferred not to have to drive for a meal.
• nataliemC1795TN (10/5): Excellent Stay - Excellent stay, hotel is close to the station, theatre, shops and restaurants. Ollie on reception was so helpful and really polite. Paulo and Philip were great at breakfast, very friendly and made us laugh. Would recommend and stay again.
• D5395KYhollya (10/5): Brilliant hotel - Holly on reception and Paulo and Phillip on breakfast we’re emore than helpful and very friendly, very pleasant to talk to and answered any questions I had!
• sophielauren1996 (4/5): Unsafe - Unfortunately even for premier inn this wasn't great, the positives being the bed is still as comfy as always and the bathroom was good for us. However we were situated on the first floor, above the bins and delivery entrance. This meant both nights from as early as 4am and till 7am I was awoken by lorries either collecting rubbish and recycling or making deliveries or collecting the laundry. To top it off our window wouldn't even close or lock! So anyone could get on the perfectly situated bin and climb in if they wanted to. Plus it meant there was a horrible draft the whole time. I had initially paid for a triple room but premier inn had decided to only give me a double meaning me and my friend now had to share a bed as they had given the room away. (I arrived at 9pm after a very long journey) the room was more bare than usual completely missing the chair or sofa bed that usually accompanies the other half of the room. Usually premier inns do the job...this one didn't.
• 648livw (10/5): Very happy with our stay - Very happy with our stay. We visited Manchester to exhibit at the Manchester Conference Centre and for our needs this was a perfect stay. Staff were friendly, room was spacious, bed very comfortable and I always love their breakfast. 10 out of 10!
• MrsK310 (4/5): Bad start to our holiday in Manchester - Very rude receptionist on Saturday afternoon. The place was busy and no one’s rooms were ready which must be tough if you’re on reception but if you’re going to work in that role it makes such a difference if you are polite to the guests not stroppy with an attitude. Really ruined our start to our holiday and other people were upset too. The manager seemed to be running round trying to help everyone. Hotel is noisy too but it is city centre so that is to be expected. Not the nicest place to stay but the room itself was normal fine premier inn standard. Wouldn’t stay again mainly due to the receptionist.
• Passenger24455049587 (10/5): Manchester Markets - Met up with a few friends to visit the Manchester Christmas markets. Hotel is a great location is arriving by car, free parking and very accessible bus routes for city centre. Staff friendly and had lots of information
• johnsO726CE (8/5): Just a three star hotel and unlikely to reach higher status - Mattress uncomfortable as we could feel springs at edges.Bar small and no atmosphere. Location of hotel very good. Restricted menu with ever increasing prices unless on meal deal but menus seem to be getting smaller.Chips with everything and no option for mash.
• joanapF4912OO (10/5): Absolutely amazing, recommend it! - The price was very nice - which is why for us, we weren't necessarily expecting such a warm welcome and hospitality. The members of the staff were extremely helpful, super nice and always there when needed. As for the bedrooms, they're not necessarily luxurious or out of the extraordinary, but for the price you pay, it's certainly very satisfying. Much better than other hotels we've been, within the same range of price. Also, the location is quite nice - very close to the train station, which is handy to go to the airport especially. And there are many stores nearby, as well as restaurants. Definitely recommend, don't be hesitant to book your trip, it will go well.
• R5294MXje (10/5): Long weekend visit - A long weekend visiting rellies in Manchester. A decent breakfast and comfy bed made our stay very pleasant. The Premier Inn itself looks a bit tired now. However, the reception staff were prompt, friendly and welcoming
• Darren555_65 (10/5): Nice Hotel & Food Good 😀 - Great Hotel. Nice staff. Rooms clean and beds extermly comfortable. Opted for the 'meal deal' which included cooked breakfast and two course evening meal. Great value and food was hot and service was excellent. Reception staff nice & friendly.
• DaveH4445 (10/5): Great hotel. Its a bit hidden but its amazing and in a great location for everything! - The Self Check in for this hotel was so easy to use and saved us a long queue. The room was clean & fresh and the shower was exceptional. Also would like to thank Steven who served us in the bar as he provided a world class customer service every time we went into the bar area. Thank you!!
• K1362GXrichardr (2/5): Cold November in Manchester - This is the only hotel in the UK that I have ever stayed in where they inform you that they do not supply heating in the rooms.
• tonyg824 (2/5): There are some ok Premier Inns. This is not one of them - Staff were nice but basics like not having enough irons and tired rooms are just not good enough. My friend stayed in a Malmaison for less money the same night I stayed here. Pretty grim
• 697gilliang (10/5): Theatre trip - Very central location. Staff friendly and helpful. Best nights sleep. Breakfast had a great selection. Would definitely recommend.
• Tictactoe123 (10/5): Would recommend. - We stayed 2 nights for a funeral. We arrived at 3am after travelling a long way and the receptionist was very friendly and efficient (male, long beard) The room was set up as needed. Every member of staff we met were very friendly. It was a quiet location, with free parking. We only popped into the restaurant next door for a drink but they were very friendly in there too.
• naadiyab2021 (8/5): Does the job, clean and spacious. - Stayed a few nights in this hotel. Free parking, clean and spacious rooms. Friendly staff. Loved the convenience of having tesco across the road. Only downside was the vegetarian options for hot breakfast is poor.
• andreamP758DN (10/5): Very Happy - Im very happy with our Stay. The Location was Nice. Plenty of Places to Visit. Your not Far from Piccadilly Gardens. Trams Buses etc.
• Katiesefton (4/5): Not great - Website needs to be more clear that there’s no restaurant at the hotel, the one next door resembles more of a run down night club No food available after 7.45pm and no breakfast. We booked as a family (cot also) we were given a room with A shower not ideal for a toddler. Hearing In room stunk of burn Rubbish in corridors. Not a premier inn experience this time.
• W9241HHryanp (8/5): great - great hotel reception could have been cleaner like carpets but room was great put bathroom fan was noisy didn't worried it would wake my cousin up at night time
• D278KUjosephk (10/5): Magic Man Paulo - Got to say, I've been to many hotels in many cities, but I've never received as amazing customer service as we did from Paulo, he helped check us in, helped me use the machine as I'm useless. Then he chatted to me, my wife and both my children. He made us feel extremely welcome. Then in the morning we nipped down to breakfast and Paulo was there to serve again. So chatty and kind, as soon as we said we are vegan he asked without prompt how many sausages and bacon. My son said 5 and he had lovely chat with him and kept checking on him. When he learned it was my son's birthday he gifted him a lovely drawing set. Honestly the people make the difference in any customer facing job and the service I've received by Paulo was absolutely fantastic. Give the man a raise.
• chunkymunky678 (6/5): Not The Quietest Place to Stay - Hotel was good, nice welcome, room was clean and we had everything we needed, but the noise all night long from the 24hr McDonalds, horns blaring from the large junction the hotel is situated on and the pub was terrible, it kept us awake both nights. There were also people chatting outside the pub in the early hours and people smoking, chatting and laughing right under our window at all hours. If you want to stay here ask for a room at the back of the hotel if you are a light sleeper.
• MrRee83 (6/5): Not the best, room for improvements - The staff are nice and welcoming. The room was a decent size and the bathroom was really good. The bed wasn't the best but was good enough. The worst part was the heating; it wouldn't come on when you needed it to and is too tiny to keep the room warm. Maintenance guys work during the night so if you struggle to sleep and you'll hear them around keeping you awake.
• 216mrk (10/5): A nice stay - A sunday night stay for work. I was checked in by Joanna who was amazing and so professional with a smile. A warm genuine smile counts for a lot. The rooms, premier inn rooms but spotless, warm and quiet. Plenty of parking. Was a nice quiet stay.
• ChinaTraveller1963 (10/5): A happy experience - Clean room, comfortable bed, good facilities, purposely designed, ample parking spaces, all at a competitive price.
• OnAir07377532258 (10/5): So far so good - Great service by AJ answered all questions,very helpful and welcoming 10/10 service...will dedinitly reccomend to others
• Jordan (10/5): - Property was clean, staff was very kind, & everything around it was walkable
• tinabN4283OE (10/5): Reception is super friendly with AJ being extremely helpful - AJ on reception is amazing. Printed us a map of places to eat and bus timetable aswell as being very friendly. Also moving us from the room downstairs due to a noisy person above.
• C5331NDwayneb (10/5): Delightful - Great stay Zoya remembered me and treated me well, she gave me my favourite room 219 was big and spacious as always and a delight to be back here again!
• tommyp157 (10/5): Good hotel - Good hotel, very well located for motorway access. Rooms are clean and comfy, you can also use the restaurant or McDonald's next door
• annam850 (8/5): Terrible booking systems for nice hotels. - The Premier Inns are very nice and so are the staff BUT the online booking service is hopeless. We have wasted hours of our holiday time trying to book ahead online because it is much cheaper than booking in person. THIS IS WRONG for a start. Why can't we walk into a hotel with a vacancy and be charged the same as if we booked online?? Why can't the staff at the desk assist us with a booking when our online attempts have been rejected 3 times??? And then there are 3 different rates for rooms online depending on when you pay RIDICULOUS especially when we are forced to take the higher one. I would not bother with Premier inns again if they can't get an online booking service to work. We are now on the phone AGAIN which is not much better because there are automated steps to go through that are not helpful AT ALL before you talk to a person.
• SiLem123 (8/5): A bit of a PI time capsule but not in a bad way necessarily. - Large clean room, friendly staff, quiet hotel, slightly dated I felt. They don’t offer breakfast despite there being an adjoining pub, but this is made clear when you book and Reception has a list of places locally to get something to eat in the morning. Wi-Fi was a bit slow though didn’t pay for their faster service. I felt it was a PI ‘that time forgot’ somewhat left behind by the rest of the chain. But it was safe, cheap, had free parking and room was fine, so nothing to complain about really.
• stuartaA2440GB (6/5): This place does not live up to premier inn adverts - no restaurant available to have a breakfast.Also could not pay extra to reserve the room longer than 12 o clock check out.In the evening we were told we could stay a bit later as we had a funeral to go to.but in the morning we were told we had to check out 12 o clock.felt very badly let down.Also we found it impossible to alter the heating in the room.
• 220stewartl (4/5): Wouldn’t bother - Room dirty found a used condom under the mattress. It was noisy as kids staying in room next to us and they were loud until the early morning
• T4019HGjohnh (4/5): Noisy pub next door, otherwise standard enough - Standard Premier Inn but ridiculous amount of noise from next door until very late so the kids were kept up as the hotel placed our family room right across from the noisy pub. Would not stay here again.
• 575schwarzc (10/5): Thank you Zoya for all your help - Zoya was fantastic, and was very accommodating and professional. Thank you Premier Inn and I recommend this place. The hotel was clean and the staff helpful and friendly.
• rubyruby13 (10/5): Great Staff & Comfortable Rooms - For what we paid this was a great hotel, close to where we needed to be for a wedding. Room was clean and modern and the staff were very helpful and friendly. Although close to a busy road this could not be heard in the rooms and the we had a great nights sleep!
• Tourist21472363008 (6/5): No aircon rooms unbearable in summer - I have been to this Premier inn several times and it is pleasant, friendly staff, we always have a room at the back as it is quieter, but unfortunately because our stay is mainly in August,it was at the peak of summer and the rooms are unbearable. There is no aircon and the fans are useless. We brought our own, but was not enough. We had no sleep this time round for a few days because the heat was unbearable. The windows are useless,let in hardly any air as they do not open right out,due to safety. I'd recommend this place,it has a lovely big Pub next door, food is ok, but it would only be ok at a different time of year or if it had aircon.
• 593tracya (8/5): Happy over-night stay - Friendly staff on reception Free on site parking Clean & comfortable room/bathroom, with clean towels & bedding Very comfortable bed. Temp control/fan in the room Extra tea/coffee available in reception Close to pub/restaurant and supermarket
• K6796QMryanb (10/5): Very good - Reception was great, service was brilliant, however there was no water during our stay so couldn’t even have a shower or use the toilet
• lewist723 (10/5): Amazing - Had a great stay at Swinton, been a few times and always fantastic staff always friendly and wanting to help couldn’t ask for anything more
• Alfiejoe8 (4/5): Don’t stay during a heatwave! - Exceptional reception staff , especially Emma, So helpful & knowledgeable too. Absolutely spotless room & all Areas. The only thing I’d say we regret is not knowing the hotel didn’t have AC in the rooms . I know now it does explain this on their site “ however “ when I booked there wasn’t a heatwave on the horizon during our stay! The reception staff did provide 2 fans which we did appreciate but did very little. We kept our window closed & curtains too but the room was still so hot 🥵
• andrewjones2021 (10/5): Nice stay at Premier Inn - Premier Inn does what it says on the tin. Very clean and friendly hotel, great bed and very quiet. This hotel offered ample safe parking, easy check in and friendly staff. We stayed 9 nights whilst visiting family in the area. No issues whatsoever.
• 2021SAJones (10/5): Our Favourite Premier Inn - What makes this our favourite Premier Inn? The Reception Staff: always friendly; always cheerful; always helpful, making it a pleasure to stay here. We look forward to staying here and are always welcomed like long-lost friends. Of course, as ever, the housekeeping staff make such a great job of making the rooms clean and tidy. Well done for maintaining such high standards for every visit!

• L9196NW_ (10/5): One night trip to Manchester for event at Co-Op Live. - We were in Manchester for a one night event, and just needed a place to spend the night after the event. For this the hotel was perfect. The room was clean and the staff very friendly. The hotel is about 20-30 mins from the Etihad arena to be handy.

• zaraa353 (10/5): Park-life fest - Stayed with my friend for park-life, staff were so so nice and kind helpful with check in and giving us information, shout out to Leanne and char I think their names was great help!
• russbI9620OU (10/5): Great stay - Great location great staff, stayed for visiting family very close by perfect location.

• debdN6813AR (8/5): Short stay - Room was very clean and comfortable shower nice bed very comfortable only downside to this hotel is that there's no restaurant on site and was not told this before arrival so the planned breakfast didn't happen and did not prepare for this the staff very friendly and helpful
• Meander47573244748 (10/5): comfortable, clean and affordable hotel! - I had a wonderful stay at the hotel! From the moment I arrived, the staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive, especially a young woman at the reception wearing glasses. The room was spacious, clean, and beautifully decorated, making it the perfect place to relax and sleep. Also, I really appreciated the service and the affordability. I truly felt well taken care of during my stay, and I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a comfortable, affordable and enjoyable experience. I look forward to staying here again in the future! :) thank you guys
