Hotel berhampiran The Dandelion Community, Manchester

Booked this hotel as there was a train strike the day of my flight. Also it's right next to the airport and slightly cheaper than Radissons inside the airport. However, there were no signs from the train station for the hotel. I ended walking around roundabouts I'm not supposed to be on! Turned out I should have walked inside the airport to get out nearer the hotel. Bit of a queue at check in, but ok otherwise. Room was comfy, with a settee. The coffee cups seem to leak- both of them! Would appear to be the material the cups were made of. Big soft towels were a delight. Separate bottles on the wall for shower gel, shampoo, conditioner. Good shower, options of normal and rain shower in a big shower area. Check out was easy, I didn't pay for breakfast. I did a short run in the morning around the hotel car park! Needs must... Overall, I would recommend it, as long as you know how to walk to the hotel from the airport safely! I would recommend the hotel liaise with the airport about signage. If there were signs and I missed it, then they need to be prominent, including detailed directions on the website.

I just HAD to write a review on my stay here. Well... this was my 3rd hotel in 4 nights of travelling. It was also the cheapest one, and the only one I was kind of dreading! Oh how wrong could I have been! From the moment I entered, the receptionist was so friendly and helpful. Welcoming, kind and professional. I asked if there was any fridge I could use to store some food items I was travelling with and they kindly put these in the staff area for me overnight. Could not do enough to help. The hotel feels more like a modern new hostel than a hotel. The vibe in the communal area felt very much like a classy hostel. It was warm, friendly and welcoming. Free unlimited tea and coffee down there was great. Breakfast was only continental, which I hadn't realised. Lovely pastries, but a shame no hot food was served. Rooms are very small, as I had expected, but functional, Plenty of charging sockets, good hot shower with amenities. As I arrived into the station at terminal 1, and was flying from terminal 1 the next day it is quite a walk with heavy bags. There is no shuttle bus or alternative way to get to terminal 1 from here, only the skylink. This would have been fine, but the moving escalators on the skylink were switched off. When I asked the hotel staff about this, they said they have not been working for months. I don't know why this is, but it would have made moving to/from the hotel a lot easier so it was a shame. Overall a very good and unexpected stay. For the price, I would stay again. Thanks to all the staff for such a pleasant welcome.

Lokasi dan kemudahan hotelnya bagus. Perkhidmatan bas ulang-alik pada waktu pagi terlalu teruk. Nampaknya saya pelajar Asia, jadi saya akan menunggu di lobi ketika saya turun ke tingkat bawah. Selepas 10 minit, seorang pemandu membawa dua orang peniaga ke dalam kereta di hadapan saya dan menemui alasan untuk membiarkan saya menunggu yang berikutnya. Setelah menunggu 20 minit berikutnya, saya sedikit marah ketika kembali ke meja depan dan mereka segera mengatur kereta. 🔔 Perkhidmatan:

We had to stay with my wife one night in Manchester airport the day before our flight. This hotel is definitely well located within the airport in the middle of all terminal. The breakfast (24£) is expensive for what you got. I would recommend this hotel if you don’t want to take the shuttle to go to the airport.

While being close to the airport on a map, in reality, due to the road layout you will have a longer than expected drive sonics no closer than other hotels located on the Manchester side of the motorway. So basically any premium you are willing to pay to be closer to the airport is less worth it than you would hope. Room was similar to a travelodge and tge sofa bad was particularly uncomfortable and was sloping uphill to the foot end, that was my friends hard luck, I had the normal bed which was fine. So if you hate your family members or friends you can make them sleep in that contraption. This hotel is okay for a few hours sleep close to the airport, anything more than that and you might be bitterly disappointed. The staff were great however, professional, attentive and helpful, even at 3am. Breakfast was good aswell, we only had 4 to 5 hours between check in and check out so was very tired and the breakfast was surprisingly good and again the service on entering the restaurant was great. Car park was fine, well-lit etc. This hotel is easy to find and just off the motorway and at the right price it's worth using but if there are cheaper in the same area then just use them as the others are no worse and no better.

We had an excellent stay, we were stopping over for 2 nights before our flight home after holidaying. A warm welcome from reception as we checked in. It made me laugh when the receptionist gave us a map with direction to our room. She explained it very well and after a bit of a walk we found our room. We had arrived just in time for last orders for food, se we dropped bags and made our way back to the bar. The bar staff were extremely helpful as he read out the menu as I had left my glasses in room. We had simple burgers and a few pints but the quality was good and service quick and friendly. Our room was clean and to a high standard. The bathroom was spotless and plenty of towels. My only criticism was the room was slightly chilly and I didn't wont to put the a/c on. Breakfast is a buffet and full of choice for all with fresh hot and cold options. The breakfast staff were so friendly taking time out to chat. Good quality and very tasty. Our second night we ate in the main restaurant which was fantastic. My mates scallops were second to none. Very very good. I had the baked cheese which was beautifu with warm toasted bread on the side. Mains was a fillet steak with morel mushrooms a special after valentines. The meat melted in your mouth, best fillet ever tasted. My main was the apple wood pork steak. This was one of the best dishes I have ever tasted, the meat was so tender and the flavour superb. Our deserts were the fruit crumble and the Yorkshire rhubarb and custard. What a nice end to a very enjoyable meal. Compliments again to the chefs. This was one of the best meals I have eaten in years and I have had a few. I am a qualified chef so I no what I'm taking about....... In the afternoon we used the pool and facilities, the staff down there were welcoming and helpful for our fist time visit. The pool was busy with children as it was half term but it wasn't a problem. All the staff were friendly and helpful, well done to all and thankyou for a great stay. We are coming back again in May so see you then.

It’s very nice and good staffs ,, good customer services and I really enjoyed there breakfast most times

One of the workers were quite laid back in the room while there were many customers at the counter, leaving just one staff handling them. Even though many no smoking signboards are put up, the lift still smells like someone smoked in it. The flush in my toilet was not good, i had to flush at least four times. Wifi isn’t free but you have to pay £7/day. Room is warm which is nice, other than that, the interior just look old and dark. Airport transfer was great though.

I've stayed here before when it was a lot better. Nowadays the outside of the building is in desperate need of decorating, with paint flaking off the walls. First thing that went wrong was the booking from Trip.com somehow became lost in the system despite us have received an acknowledgement number from the hotel. Next, the sink did not hold water because the rubber seal in the plug was worn out. The bathroom has no windows and the fan did not work so smells linger. On the second day the hot water tap in the sink stopped flowing - no water, neither hot nor cold. They readily fixed that for us when we complained, but we decided not to risk showering for our stay in case the water failed again. The TV remote did not turn the TV on - I found that there was a switch on the TV we could use to turn it on and off, so we used that instead and the remote fortunately worked for everything else needed on the TV. On the last morning my wife wanted to use the hairdryer and found it did not work - upon checking, I found that the wire had been pulled right out of the switch. We never found the bar. Lastly - the breakfasts. The Friday and Saturday meals were very good, but the Sunday breakfast was served by a different staff member who was quite parsimonious. My wife and I both ordered the full English breakfast, but what we got on the Sunday was one breakfast shared between two plates. Two rashers of bacon were simply cut in two, with my wife getting the meaty end of the two rashers and I getting the fatty end. There was one egg each - not two - and the scrambled eggs we ordered were merely stirred to break the yolk rather than properly scrambled. The portion of beans was minimal, not even a child's portion. We saw another diner having the same treatment and he was not pleased either. The room was a bit too warm for us but we could not find any way of adjusting the temperature. On the plus side, the bed was nice and firm. Reception staff were not always easy to get hold of or we would have passed all our complaints on to them as we came across them, but we had lots to do and did not want to waste our time. It's a shame, because it is the best hotel for us location-wise, but we won't be going back.

The room, services & breakfast were magnificent. Staffs were absolutely brilliant & very helpful. My entire experience was resplendent. I would gladly recommend this splendacious hotel to anyone.
