Hotel, room in particular, is generally ok, but does look a bit tired - could do with updating. Room (standard double) is also a little small - especially the shower.

Great Hotel

I paid for the Junior Suite, because it was only about £5 more than a standard double. I got access to the Club Lounge (with free drinks & canapes). The suite was spacious, with good views of Manchester and a really comfy bed. Breakfast was pretty good too.

The team at breakfast on both days of my stay were outstanding. Bright, very personable and attentive. So rare to get this level of engagement and it was most welcome. a really good start to the day. The food was also good and overall it was a great experience from start to finish.

Great experience with the Crowne Plaza Manchester team. Wonderful service from all the staff specially Yupin who served us breakfast in the morning she’s a great credit to the hotel! Family friendly and those who want some halal food they do have some options at breakfast just need to ask for it. They have a great deal of halal restaurants and takeaways nearby. Arndale Centre is right around the corner so plenty to see and eat if you’re feeling peckish. They are parking opposite the hotel but they are costly best thing I found is to park at Printworks from 6-9am you get 12hrs for around £7.50 the only issue is street parking is only free from 8pm. Otherwise I believe it’s £19 with discount from hotel for 24hr parking.
