Waterside Hotel & Leisure Club, Manchester

We stayed at the hotel for two nights. The staff were very friendly and the breakfasts were good, although I question the idea of buffet service on Sundays - the waitress service on Saturday was far more efficient and there was a lot of waiting for empty serving dishes to be refilled at the buffet counter on the Sunday. The bedroom we were in was modern and clean, and the bed was comfy. However the room was very small, more suited to single rather than double use I would have said, and I would recommend visitors to ask what size of room they will be allocated before booking. One big advantage was being able to make use of the swimming pool and spa, which we enjoyed very much. The approach to the hotel is very confusing, as you see the back of the hotel first. We arrived at night after a long journey and saw signs for training courses on the building and thought we had got the wrong place. Clearer signposting would help.

Hotel being refurbished but when finished should be very nice. Workmen around at present. Only hotel that serves streaky bacon for breakfast. Swimming pool and spa area not the cleanest. Probably due to the amount of the public using all the facilities too.

Room service menu is very limited and not great

VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THE RESTURANT CHIOCE OF BREAKFAST WAS VERY POOR. ONE PLATE OF FRUIT THAT STOOD ALONE ON A COUNTER LOOK LIKE IT HAD BEEN PREPARED THE NIGHT BEFORE NO YOUGURTS TO GO WITH IT . NO TONGS TO PICK THE BREAD UP FOR THE TOASTER NO PLATES TO PUT THE BREAD ON ONCE TOASTED. THE RESTURANT LOOKED LIKE IT HAD NOT BEEN CLEANED FROM THE NIGHT BEFORE .STAFF LOOKED LIKE THEY HAD JUST FALLEN OUT OF BED. NOT ENOUGH STAFF TO CLEAR TABLES AND PREPARE TABLES FOR NEW CILENTS .
