10/10 Exceptional

I travel from Malta to Manchester frequently, and I always choose the Novotel Manchester Centre for my accommodation. It is centrally located, the room rates per night are very reasonable, the staff are friendly, and the rooms are always clean and tidy. Breakfast is also good and includes a lot of items. Highly recommended for those traveling with family, especially children.

Excellent good value for money. Large rooms, but the breakfast is crowded and often ran out of some food. The area is a bit dodgy, but Manchester is not for the faint anywhere
