Hotel berhampiran Hattersley, Hyde

Had to book an overnight stay near to the o2 Apollo due to crap parking at the location and another annoying stupid set of train strikes. Looked at a few budget hotels nearby and decided to go with the Holiday Inn Express as they had on-site parking, breakfast and other amenities very close by (i.e. MacDonalds etc). IT wasn't the cheapest option, not by a long chalk, but reviews were good and it certainly looked the best of the bunch that were available on that date. So, the hotel itself is conveniently located just off a busy main road directly into Manchester and close to motorways, It's in a pleasant park area and has lots of greenery to hide other buildings, roads etc, so that was nice. Checked in easy enough, you pay £5 per night for parking on arrival which was stated in the booking so no surprise, our ground floor room was very nice, simple and clean. Usual TV, hairdryer, kettle and hot drinks sachets. There was also a fan, which was handy as it was a very warm room despite the heating (wall heater) not being on. We were located at the back of the hotel which was very quiet - not the best view in the world but plenty greenery so not too bad (we didn't go there for the view!). The bathroom was small but functional and most importantly, clean! The shower was strong and hot with body soap and shampoo provided. The beds (we had a twin) were soft and comfortable - two pillows (just right for me) and blackout curtains made for a very pleasant nights' sleep. Breakfast, served 7.30am - 10am) was again, simple yet enough for anyone. Cereals, danishes, bread, jams, fruit etc and bacon, sausage, scrambled egg and beans for a hot breakfast with plenty drinks on offer, coffee, juices etc. Had better scramble eggs tbh but otherwise a very good effort for a budget hotel. So, in summary, this hotel does exactly what it says on the tin - it provides a convenient stop-over at a 'reasonable' price with good clean, comfortable accommodation to suit anyone really. P.S. The staff were very nice and helpful - if you need a taxi, 'In-time' were good and prompt but if later at night you may have more luck with an Uber. I would stay here again should the circumstances arise and can recommend to anyone requiring a hotel in this location.

Great location, eating places on the doorstep, not a very warm welcome on arrival, nice room very clean, spacious bathroom with good powerful shower, bed very comfortable, breakfast poor, water was warm, no continental cheese or meat options, no fresh fruit, poor pastry selection, hot options not great

Was very good the cleanliness of the hotel was amazing and would highly recommend

The location is prime, right next to the train station and Sanisbury's. Breakfast is average, especially if you stay for more than one day. The water pressure of the shower is unstable - you get hot water and then cold water the next second.

The hotel's location served our trip's purpose perfectly, and the buffet was truly outstanding. It offered a wide array of food options, all included in the hotel's charges. I would enthusiastically choose this hotel for future stays.

We stayed here on our way back from Scotland. The room was comfortable and old fashioned but in a nice way as it set the scene for the area. We had an amazing view of the hills from our room window which was nice just to sit and look out at. Breakfast was good and plenty of it. The host was very friendly and helpful. Only downside was we were in a room near the road and it was karaoke night. We heard Angels by Robbie Williams numerous times and the people who were outside in the little patio area were not very quiet. Would recommend but try and get a room on the other side. Hopefully it is quieter.

Perfect for our needs. Chose to stay as we were going to see Man City play at the Etihad for my husband’s 40th birthday with our two children. From start to finish the service was fantastic. I got a call a few days before to ask if there was anything I need before our stay, when we arrived they’d left a little card and gift for my husband, which was such a lovely and much appreciated gesture. Room was spacious & clean, they put an extra z-bed in for my son too & my older daughter had her own side with a door so she was delighted with that! Check-in was really smooth and welcoming. Sorry didn’t take a name but a male staff member helped with directions to the Etihad and it was spot on. Swim and dinner in the bar after, which was just what we needed after a long day. Breakfast was delicious, fresh & hassle free. Lovely relaxing morning in the pool then Starbucks to send us on our way, spoke to Beth too on the way out and she was lovely, credit to your hotel. Really couldn’t fault anything. Thank you for having us
