Hotel Ibis a Manchester

My second time staying in this hotel. The last time was 2 years ago.  A little disappointed this time.  Though was able to do an early check in, the room assigned was a room meant for special need people with hand bars in toilet. Whenever someone bathes.. the floor would be all wet and slippery.  Carpet and beddings were dated. The room has a stale smell and lightings in room were weak. The air con leaked with dripping sound all night and we were unable to sleep well for the 2 nights. Carpet around the air con which is also the main door area were wet in the mornings due to the leakage. The sofa bed wasn’t comfortable, spring in the middle sunk and hence the person sleeping on it has a backache ! Don’t think we would be back . Will be putting up in IBIS in Salford Quay and Pollard street for another 10 nights in July , hope situation would be better..

I stayed at the Ibis on Portland Street in central Manchester (not to be confused with the Ibis Styles further down the road). The staff were friendly and allowed me to check in early, which was a nice touch. Although I didn't spend much time in the room as I was out exploring, it was a good place to rest. The room was clean, with tea and coffee provided, and the shower had excellent water pressure and stayed hot. The Wi-Fi worked well, though the air conditioning had analogue controls, which felt outdated and a bit unclear to use. Breakfast was included in the stay, but I didn’t have the chance to try it as favoured my beauty sleep. There was some noise from footsteps in the corridor and the room above, but overall, it was a decent stay. The room was quite similar to the one I stayed at in London Greenwich.
