ibis budget Manchester Airport

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is situated very close to terminal 2 at Manchester Airport so very convenient. The rooms are small but perfectly adequate for an overnight stay. The beds are very comfortable and the rooms and bathrooms are clean. A limited amount of food and drinks are available , but enough for overnight, and a well stocked vending machine is also available in the lobby. This is our second stay and we’d happily stay again on our next visit."
