Manchester Airport (MAN) is one of the busiest and largest airports in Europe. The airport is in the south of Manchester, in the North West of England and is an excellent gateway to the north of the United Kingdom.
Gets excellent reviews for comfort and service. Leisure facilities and meeting rooms, restaurant and health club.
Good reliable hotel, now part of IHG chain. Clean and mostly quiet. Two restaurants on site, a free shuttle bus, walkable from Station.
formerly Bewleys Hotel
Decent hotel, quiet and clean.
Average convenient airport hotel. From Station exit at street level, don't go up to walkways. Free shuttle to terminals, walkable though sidewalks are a mess.
Georgian mansion now engulfed by airport development. Gets lukewarm reviews, basically okay and value for money but tired facilities, with no lift to upper floor. Meals served in bar & grill. Free airport shuttle 5AM-10PM.
Budget chain hotel. Ten-minute shuttle transfer to airport, on-site stay/park packages available. Those are its only redeeming features: travellers consistently bewail lost bookings, bad check-in experience and service, and noisy, damp-smelling rooms. If MAN ever extends its runways, please let it be over this place.
Holiday Inn Manchester Airport is the closest hotel to Terminal 2, just a 2-min walk away, and within easy walking distance of the airport station and Terminal 3.
This is a large airport, but by no means on the same scale as London Heathrow. From check-in to the gate is never more than a 15-minute walk, with no tram transfers.
