  • That rainfall shower was delightful. I say it a lot in my videos if you've been watching for quite some time.

  • So, we paid £195 for the room, which I think is an absolute steal given what we had in within that price. We got the room with the runway view and that was also with access to this lounge. 1932:31
  • So, just having a little look at the room service menu. Honestly, bit of everything. All you could need, you know, prices as expected being linked to the airport. So, you know, exactly what you would expect. Great choice. Some of the stuff looks delicious. Great choice of drinks. 198:17

Food22 mentions · 6 filmed
  • Although the hot options were yet to appear, there was still a decent spread when I was there at 5:30am. That includes juices, pastries, cold meats, fruit and bread. 4
  • I've already tried the burger and I'm having some chips and it is very good. We didn't want to go in the main restaurant. We come into the sort of it's like a bar slash restaurant. It's more sort of like burger pizza and things. And I tell you what, the quality is amazing. Can't fault it one bit. On camera1918:18
  • An extensive hot-and-cold breakfast buffet is served each morning in the fresh, contemporary surrounds of the Collage Restaurant, while a seasonal, a la carte menu is provided for lunch and dinner -- prices are a bit steep. 7
  • The Hilton is not an amazing hotel, but free breakfast if gold/diamond and is decent. As mentioned the shuttle is fine and goes to any terminal required. 1
  • Breakfast was included in our stay which was at the Collage Restaurant and I've got to say this was one of the best breakfast buffets I've had! 8
  • So, as you come up the stairs from the reception, you've got both restaurants, Little M Bar and the collage restaurant. This is the reception. And I just want to say it smells absolutely amazing in here. On camera192:07
  • Easy access to airport terminals via a covered walkway. Spacious rooms, very quiet and spotlessly clean. Food in restaurant was good. 6
  • Also on site is the collage restaurant where you can enjoy a meal overlooking the runway the atmosphere was pleasant and it really came to life in the evenings with some interesting light up booths On camera233:08
  • The breakfast offering was pitiful. Some fruit, orange juice, a coffee machine and a basket with mini-pastries. This was probably one of the worst lounges I've been to when it comes to food. 4
  • Despite its slight airport vibe, the restaurant has cool design touches, like rounded woven lamps, half-circle booths, and bright orange chairs. 7
  • Then if we take a look down here, you've got your teas, coffees, milk, sugar, and we've also got coffee pods for the coffee machine, which is great because I am a coffee lover. On camera196:43
  • The pastries were also good - so good I went back for seconds, and thirds. In my defence, they were quite small. 4
  • The food and drink on offer in the evenings were minimal and far below what you'd expect from an executive lounge. 4
  • so we're in the lounge and it's past dessert time they've brought dessert out but it's a bit disappointing what is it freny pan I don't know what that is like an almondy Mazy you might like it I just thought there' be more options it's just one cake option On camera52:27
  • My meal was lovely, and I had Syeed as my server for the second time. 24
  • Coffee is self-serve from a machine (there are two), and it was more than passable. 4
  • Here's a look at the cold selection. You've got cheese, crackers, grapes, salami, churo. It really was a great spread. Some olives there on the end. You can really make a decent meal out of the food they provide. On camera1913:49
  • The Hilton is not an amazing hotel, but free breakfast if gold/diamond and is decent. 1
  • Breakfast is an extensive buffet of international hot and cold items. Guests have said that it's superb and there's something for everyone - there's even a breakfast cocktail bar for a Bloody Mary or Buck's Fizz. 6
  • Breakfast is served in the Collage restaurant, next to reception. It's a modern, well-lit space that looks out onto the airport. 4
  • Lovely evening meal. The chef made a special meal for my husband as he has special dietary needs. 24
  • The room service menu is barely acceptable. The entire menu fits on a single page, and I get the feeling that they would rather have you go downstairs to the bar or restaurant. It used to be better. 4
Room23 mentions · 12 filmed
  • Size. This suite is vast - more like a serviced apartment than a typical UK hotel room. At over twice the size of most city rooms, it was easily bigger than our first London flat. 9
  • The hotel has 360 spacious guest bedrooms and all rooms feature comfortable beds, a work desk, a flat-screen television, ironing facilities, tea and coffee making facilities and en-suite bathrooms. 13
  • we've got some lovely toiletries i think this will be an extra i would have thought this would be an extra touch for a superior room to be honest On camera104:20
  • I spent a bit of time up in the room just looking at the aircraft out of the window. Here are some of the videos that I took so you know what to expect if you do book a room with a runway view. The variety is amazing and honestly, I could have spent all day here. On camera199:42
  • The room was spacious and had everything we needed including a view! We had such a clear view of the runway and could enjoy it from our super spacious super king bed. 8
  • this is a superior room and it's also a superior room with a runway view what a treat it is a little bit just to get up in the holiday mood On camera102:59
  • and then the desk area which are actually what my favorite bit about this is the mirror it's a it's a really big memory isn't it On camera109:02
  • The lounge closes at 9pm, and instead of going downstairs to the beautiful hotel bar, we decided to enjoy our room, so by 9.30pm I was in ym fluffy robe, relaxing on the huge comfy bed, after a long week at work, with a weekend in the Spanish sunshine stretched out in front of me - what a Friday! Bliss. 11
  • Very spacious room. Good size bed. We'll see how comfortable it is. I'll let you know in the morning. Good size room. On camera251:43
  • Hotel room was great. Bed so comfy. Ideal place for an early morning flight 6
  • Now that work appears to be complete, everyone gets an attractive and functional room that feels more spacious than it actually is. There's a comfy chair and a sort-of-table by the window, and a desk/dressing table with an additional chair. 4
  • considering the room was the most basic that the hotel offered we were impressed it was clean and spacious featured a queen-sized bed and all the amenities you'd expect in the Modern Hotel including a room TV mini fridge air conditioning and tea and coffee making facilities On camera232:17
  • so then you kind of move into like the main bedroom area now and like this is up for me this is like the most impressive bit like i just feel like the bed's huge On camera107:02
  • A one night stay before flying on holiday. As always, a comfortable room. 24
  • The room was spacious and had everything we needed including a view! 8
  • The room was amazing. It was really clean, comfortable, and a massive bed. On camera1935:07
  • Now that work appears to be complete, everyone gets an attractive and functional room that feels more spacious than it actually is. 4
  • We were upgraded from a standard room to an Executive room on the top floor. Our room faced towards the airport, meaning we had good views for the limited time we were there. 4
  • one thing we will say about the air conditioning is it does fluctuate yeah i don't know why i moved it down before before i went to bed and then to like 18 when we woke up it was on 21. yeah and it was quite warm in the room On camera1016:01
  • The room was amazing. It was really clean, comfortable, and a massive bed. And the rainfall shower was brilliant. On camera1935:07
  • and a big full-length mirror i love a full-length mirror in a room it's good isn't it yeah On camera103:46
  • Radisson T2 - stayed twice. Air conn wouldnt cool the room. 16

  • Service was efficient, even during the early-morning rush, and tables turned over quickly. 9
  • Check-in was quick and straightforward. 9
  • The agent was friendly and acknowledged that we were tired. She had keys printed in seconds and we were in the elevator a few minutes later. 22
  • the nice thing is the lady made sure that we didn't want any other the canopies before she cleared it away which was nice On camera51:34
  • The staff were amazing in the hotel as well. On camera1936:22
  • Radisson is great for terminal 2, as connected by a walkway. Makes it a breeze, especially if you can use/need to use twilight check-in. 1
  • reception was very welcome and efficient and we were quickly checked into our room On camera231:58
  • got these cute little lamps as well they look nice but looks like on the cleanliness side there some marks and some scratches lurking around On camera181:30
  • The Radisson has undergone several refreshes over the years, and the reception area is now much more functional and attractive. 4
  • The hotel is very clean and the beds are extremely comfortable. We checked in later than we normally do so used room service which was great. 24
  • The staff are friendly, the hotel is modern, and the rooms are well-sized. 4
  • The service was quick and attentive with staff ensuring we had everything we needed without any delays On camera233:18
  • Check-in was easy, and this was the first time I've used a Radisson since I got VIP status (thanks to my Capital On Tap card). 4
  • so yeah so we checked in it was all fine it was very quick to check in actually yeah it's fine On camera101:45
  • The Radisson isn't particularly generous with towels. You do have to work hard to conserve them on a single night stay. 4
  • the staff were really helpful actually yeah super helpful really really good On camera1016:53
  • On a second stay, what stands out most is the consistency. The staff remain welcoming and attentive, the rooms are just as comfortable, and the overall experience feels just as seamless and as special as it did the first visit. 11

  • I've stayed at a few Manchester Airport hotels, and the rad is the best. Bewleys and the prem are dated, the raddisson is modern and clean. 20
  • Wouldn't stay at the Marriott for an airport stay. It's not convenient, you need a taxi. 1
  • Yes. If you're flying out early, it is the easiest option by far. It is not a luxury hotel, but it serves its purpose as an airport hotel. 4
  • The Ron blue is conveniently located within the airport complex it's connected to all three Terminals and the train station by covered walkways so you don't have to step outside once you arrive On camera230:49
  • Consider premier Inn Heald green. Next to the train station and only a few minutes on the train. Easier and quicker than most of the on site hotels 1
  • The friendliest staff, the best location. If budget allows then stay at the Radisson Blu Manchester Airport..... 14
  • When walking between the terminals and train station, you will find the hotel on the skywalk. Our flight was departing from Terminal 2 which was minutes away and super convenient to get to. 8
  • And another thing that really did impress me that I haven't seen anywhere else. Even Heathrow wasn't as well linked with certain hotels, but the link if you're staying at the Rison Blue between the railway line, the hotel and the airport. On camera1933:33
  • Manchester Airport has a few walkable hotel options, but none are as easy to get to as the Radisson. It sits next to a wide, covered walkway that also acts as the primary connection between Terminal 2 and the transport exchange. 4
  • We accessed the hotel from the opposite side via the bridge which leads you directly from the train station and it also has a direct link to the airport which is probably the most impressive link I've seen between a train station and also an airport in the whole of the country which was really convenient. On camera191:43
  • The four-star Radisson Blu hotel is one of the better-located hotels near Manchester Airport and it is only a short walk to all terminals. 13
  • Anthony's Take: The Radisson Blu Hotel, Manchester Airport is perfectly located for a long layover at the airport. It was on our walk between Terminal 2 and Terminal 3 (Terminal 1 is close to 3 and easily accessible as well). 22
  • Being the only hotel physically connected to Manchester Airport, via an elevated walkway, is certainly convenient -- and the hotel's large, airy lobby is actually reminiscent of an airport check-in area. 7
  • This is our review of the Radisson Blu Manchester Airport, widely regarded as the best hotel at Manchester Airportthanks to its unbeatable location, direct connection to all three terminals via the covered Skylink walkway, and consistently comfortable rooms. 9
  • Couldn't believe how well it was done, how well it was linked. It's it's really impressive. And this hotel here at Manchester Airport is in the prime location. It does not get much better than this. On camera1934:15
  • Thank you We always like to stay at the Radisson Blu at Manchester Airport the night before we fly on holiday. We always like to stay at the Radisson Blu at Manchester Airport the night before we fly on holiday. It's in an excellent location for terminal 2 and the train station. 24
  • Stayed before a flight, very convenient for the airport, and easy to park there. 24
  • It's in an excellent location for terminal 2 and the train station. We chose a superior airport view room which is very good to watch the planes coming and going. 24
  • It was so busy that we ended up leaving without getting close to securing a seat. That was a real shame as the lounge has great views across the airport, and they're especially good at night with the lights from the planes and terminals. 4

  • The runway view, although there, was a long way away. Plane spotters, bring Binoculars! 24
  • And by the looks of it, I am the first one in your of the day. Just check that out for a view, guys. That is absolutely sensational. This on a beautiful day. Wow. Views really don't get much better than that. On camera1925:47
  • now they did say this was a run r view but the problem is we got a big pillar in the way and we can we can see some planes but not as much as I hoped for On camera180:43
  • Now, obviously, first thing I'm going to show you is the runway view. Just check that out. Any aviation lover's dream, this hotel is the one for you. On camera194:21
  • It ju it just ticked every box for what I expected and exceeded it as well. That view over the runway. It doesn't get much better than that if you're an aviation enthusiast like myself. And no better way to get you in the mood for going on your holiday. On camera1935:22
  • The Executive rooms - especially with a runway view - make for a comfortable and stress-free start to any trip. 9
  • Here you can relax with a runway view with complimentary snacks and drinks. We did go in quite late in evening but there was some tasty cakes and treats which were delicious. I tried the chocolate cake which was so fluffy and rich. 8
Value19 mentions · 5 filmed
  • If you arrive by car on the ground floor, you can take a lift up or use the staircase. It's worth noting that the lifts here can get extremely busy, and you may have to wait a while during peak times. They're also quite small. 4
  • Prices at this hotel can vary widely depending on demand, but for peak season, it was competitive compared to other Manchester Airport hotels. 9
  • We headed down to the restaurant which was okay , seems to be short staffed every time we stop here and the food was alright if anything suspiciously fast for the price, however the breakfast was great in the morning. 24
  • At £179 during the summer holidays, our stay felt like solid value - particularly with the complimentary upgrade to an Executive Junior Suite and lounge access. 9
  • An extensive hot-and-cold breakfast buffet is served each morning in the fresh, contemporary surrounds of the Collage Restaurant, while a seasonal, a la carte menu is provided for lunch and dinner -- prices are a bit steep. 7
  • We had a three course meal that evening it was a bit expensive but was very tasty On camera233:24
  • we got a little Danny room tray here so you can use it for in meals and all but I won't be doing that cuz it's hell of expensive around here On camera181:19
  • Premier Inn Heald Green - convenient access to trains - needs a little TLC but I would stay again. Usually reasonable prices 16
  • Premier Inn in Wilmslow is very handy at cheaper rates 16
  • The restaurant is overpriced, although there are plenty of other options in the airport terminal just a five-minute walk away. 13
  • An on-site health club with pool and gym is a bonus, but the prices at the hotel restaurant are a little inflated. 7
  • If you're going for an upgrade on your room, I'd go with the executive rooms over the premium room cuz I think you get better value for money, including the access to the lounge. On camera2511:15
  • So, we paid £195 for the room, which I think is an absolute steal given what we had in within that price. We got the room with the runway view and that was also with access to this lounge. On camera1932:31
  • Off to one side is the hotel bar, which was livelier than expected in the evening with a mix of travellers. There's also a small shop selling travel essentials such as medication, toiletries, umbrellas, and a selection of drinks and snacks. As is typical for airport hotels, prices are very high. 9
  • The Hilton DT is fine, but is probably one of the most expensive options so if you don't need to be on-site there's not much point staying there. 16
  • This was actually our first time trying the breakfast here, as we've usually had very early departures. While we enjoyed it, we found the price steep for a breakfast unless it's included in your rate or loyalty perks. 9
  • Not an issue as I'll use airport parking the next day 13th September 2023 at 11:54 #538152 #538152 NorthernLass 14,031 posts You'll get much cheaper deals off-site. You'll get much cheaper deals off-site. The HIX is usually very reasonable and perfectly fine for a night-before stay. 16
  • To be blunt, the Radisson is the best hotel option at the airport if you value time and convenience. The price is higher than the other hotels', but not extortionate. It's worth it. 4
  • So, just having a little look at the room service menu. Honestly, bit of everything. All you could need, you know, prices as expected being linked to the airport. So, you know, exactly what you would expect. Great choice. Some of the stuff looks delicious. Great choice of drinks. On camera198:17
Noise3 mentions
  • The hotel corridors are so quiet. No sounds of footsteps or banging doors, A brilliant start to our holiday. 24
  • The bed was exceptionally comfortable and soundproofing was excellent - despite being metres from the runway, we didn't hear a single aircraft all night. 9
  • Yet inside you can't hear a thing, the rooms are completely quiet and restful thanks to the soundproof floor-to-ceiling windows. 11

  • i quite like a high pressure shower i'll be honest you've tried it i tried it and the pressure wasn't great On camera105:06
  • There's a small fridge, which was completely empty, alongside a small kettle, a Nespresso machine and the required pods, sugars and tea bags. This isn't a bad-sized bathroom, and has plenty of surface space, a large shower and decent (unbranded) toiletries. 4
  • That rainfall shower was delightful. I say it a lot in my videos if you've been watching for quite some time. But does anyone a lot of hotels they go to find it stupidly fiddly to get water the perfect temperature you want in there was fine. literally bam and I had the temperature that I wanted.

  • Bathrooms are pretty standard, with brown tile against white porcelain and granite countertops, handsome modern fixtures, and shower/tub combos. 7
  • The shower was fine. This hotel used to have extreme water pressure, which was great for blasting you awake in the morning. On this trip, it was back to a regular level, but it's a good-sized shower with both a rainfall head above and a hand-held option too. 4

    Although the hot options were yet to appear, there was still a decent spread when I was there at 5:30am. That includes juices, pastries, cold meats, fruit and bread.

    Size. This suite is vast - more like a serviced apartment than a typical UK hotel room. At over twice the size of most city rooms, it was easily bigger than our first London flat.
