Premier Apartments Manchester - Manchester, United Kingdom 

Great value
Posted: Thu, Jul 24 2008
We booked the Premier Apartments through Late Rooms but would have saved ?4 if we had booked direct through the hotel's own website. You have to pre-register any car details for the secure parking and the reception staff were very friendly and professional on the phone. On arrival the reception is easy to miss as it sort of looks like a small office from the outside. The secure parking is a tad tricky to find as it is not at the front of the hotel, but down a back street. This was the worst bit of the hotel. Once you have checked in you are given a key card and security code to access the hotel from the front, and another code to access the hotel from the carpark. Pre-check in however you have to walk from the carpark up the dingy side street (complete with drug addict slumped on the pavement). It would be better if during reception hours there was some sort of speakerphone on the carpark security code pad to gain access. Check-in was quick and efficient. It said on the website and email from Late Rooms that proof of identity (eg passport) and ?250 deposit would be required but neither was requested. Our booking was for a 2 bedroom apartment. Most of the apartment is carpeted although the hallway and bathrooms are wood. It was very clean. The only negatives that I can identify are that several of the curtains were hanging off the rails (the hangers were broken) which looked a bit downtrodden and the lounge window was filthy with large smudges down it where people had pressed against it. That should have been cleaned. Otherwise though the apartment was very clean. There was 2 small couches, coffee table, tv, stereo, kitchen table and chairs (would have been a squeeze for 4 people to eat at). Lots of kitchen workspace, a few coffee/tea bags, milk and biscuits (broken!). There is an ironing board, fridge and washing machine. A few generic toiletries and ample towels (no flannels). The bedrooms were comfortable. The ensuite was a decent size, the other a bit small but fine for the purpose, and both had floor length mirrors which is just what you need when you're all girls getting ready for a night out! Location is perfect for the MEN arena. Only took 15 mins to walk there from Piccadilly station, and about 5 to the MEN. Also took about 5 mins max to walk down to the Printworks and the big wheel. We checked out before reception opened so had to leave our keycards in a postbox - that was quite a squeeze! If lots of people did this it would be a problem. For the money and purpose we were impressed.

Perfect Location for a weekend break and at a excellent price

Had a great stay here this weekened. Was in manchester for a friends party and couldnt have asked for a better hotel. Easy check in. The car park was easily found by using the post code into the sat nav. Pleasant staff at reception. Clean well equiped apartment. Comfortable bed. Non smoking room ( room 107) Quiet and excellent nights sleep. Location really is superb - 2 min walk to printworks and arndale centre. Breakfast at North Cafe was a pleasantly good surprise. Good value and tasty. For 72 pounds ( cheapest price was on the website). Its great value and we would definately stay here again!

|Excellent Stay

17 of us stayed in a number of 2 bedroom apartments for a Hen Weekend in Manchester and had a great stay. The location couldn't have been better and the apartments were spacious, clean and modern. They had everything you could need, 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, good size lounge area and kitchen. Plenty of sockets too, and mirrors, and iron etc for getting ready for a night out. The reception staff were also very helpful and friendly and there is a great coffee shop next door with loads of choice for breakfast. There is also a convenience store round the side of the building. The only down side is that there are a lot of apartments in the area and our room was overlooked by some balconies..so occasionally we would look up to see a group of lads looking down at us! It can also be a little bit noisy because of this. That's what comes with being so central though.

Fantastic!!!

We stayed in these apartments over the weekend, i booked 3 apartments for a hen weekend, and as the organiser felt i had a lot of pressure to ensure they were to a good standard. Upon arrival we were greeted by 2 lovely reception staff who showed us our secure car parking space (?13 a night), which may seem steep but for overnight secure parking in manchester is a bargain! We were early so walked directly into manchester city centre which is only 5 mins away. When we arrived back we went straight to our apartments. They'd arranged for us all to be next to each other (which i didn't ask for, but they were thoughful enough to do) and our rooms were fab!! We had the 2 bedroom apartments which also came with 2 bathrooms, one with a bath/shower and one with a huge shower, free toiletries, a reasonable size lounge and kitchen. They were spotless and had everything we needed!! Although the apartments themselves were fab enough can't be said for the 2 girls on reception. I have never stayed anywhere where they have given me the help i needed. They helped me book a resteraunt, gave me directions and even rang in advanced and got us 20% off the bill (the sweet mandarin chinese - 2 min walk fab food) these girls are a credit to the company, i can't thank them enough for there help!! Would definatly stay in these apartments again why stay in a hotel when these are avaliable!!!
