ibis budget Manchester Salford Quays 2 stars

Usual standard great position

Clean. Staff were excellent, friendly and very helpful. Breakfast was slightly lacklustre, but still nice. Beds were comfy.

Price was good but hotel felt like a step down from the Pollard Street Ibis Budget I'd stayed at previously. First room had a strong smell of cannabis smoke and on opening the window in an attempt to clear it I found a suspicious looking bag with a white substance in it lodged in the window seal. Reception happily swapped the room but just marked it as "dirty" and didn't seem particularly concerned about the suspicious bag I'd found (which I'd left untouched but had shown them a photo). Second room was acceptable but smelled musty and had some splatter type stains on the walls and some cosmetic damage in parts. Was also told that the only available rooms had the additional bunk bed which was acceptable but somewhat annoying to have over the bed.

Staff were friendly, it was a great location for what I needed. The room is by no means luxurious but it’s clean, tidy and has everything you need.....bed/toilet/tv/sink

Quick professional check in. Excellent value for money in a pleasant part of the city. Excellent public transport links. Ibis are always my first choice wherever I am staying.

Walked into room and went to use toilet lid was down with piece of paper on lid saying “sorry” I lifted lid to find poo and paper in toilet I therefore went back downstairs and was allocated a new room. When got undressed in the evening found there was no soap therefore I had to have a wash with my own shampoo. This was not a good stay.

Clean and all basic necessities available for overnight stay. Excellent value for cheap stay. Basic budget but met our needs. Would stay again for right price.

Friendly and extremely helpful staff.

Quick check in, receptionist staff were friendly and helpful. Our room was basic but clean and what we expected for the very reasonable price. Breakfast was lovely - soya milk available for those with allergies. Hotel was easy to find after a long drive. 12pm check out was great - no rushing in the morning.

hardly any bedding, we were both cold, no tea/coffee/milk/sugar offered, very clean & tidy though.

I had a pleasant two night stay. The room was clean and comfortable. The hotel is conveniently located.

Staying overnight on route to the airport, the hotel is close to the motorway network and has many food and drink outlets close by, enjoyed our stay

To be honest i was extremely disappointed room to small bed very hard and uncomfortable. Wasn't impressed with the washand basin in the bedroom. Shower was ok. Over all i was very disappointed. I wanted to book another hotel within 20mins off being there

The hotel is ideal for a one night stay but not for any longer. The bed requires a new mattress as I could feel the slats underneath. The prices for tea/coffee and snack is very expensive.....especially when there is a Tesco shop nearby which is what I used. I know this is budget hotel but no kettle in the rooms!

I stay in Ibis Budget hotels quite often, but this was my first time in Salford. In general, the hotel was good - easy parking, although £8 is quite a lot to pay overnight. My room was clean and comfortable apart from one important factor - there was no way of controlling the temperature, which was too warm. The thermostat temperature setting button had no effect, and when I asked at reception I was told that room temperature was set externally with no control in the room. Open the window, I was told. With a cold, I wasn't going to go to sleep with an open window so I was too hot all night and didn't sleep well. The other fault was a television which didn't work. To be fair I was offered another room, but by that time I was settled and didn't bother. Presumably the temperature problem would be the same in every room anyway. Otherwise everything was fine and staff were courteous and helpful.
