Top Salford Quays Hotel Reviews

Copthorne Hotel Manchester Salford Quays

Copthorne Hotel Manchester Salford Quays

8/10 Good
"Stayed for 2 nights with friends. Hotel was great for our needs although we felt it needed updating & refurbishing in places. Our room was sufficient for our needs apart from lacking in a decent number of sockets for use to charge the many batteries in all our gadgets. The staff were very friendly, helpful & efficient. The food for breakfast & dinner was excellent with a wonderful choice for breakfast. Our bathroom was a bit dated & in need of refurbishing but the water was definitely hot! The whole hotel was very clean & I even spotted someone cleaning skirting boards in the reception area."

8/10 Good
"Property was new and clean inside. No noise from other apartments. Overall a good stay. Nearby shop for food basics and near to the Tram line to go into town. No complaints. If security is a concern for you it is very lax here. Lobby door left open night and day, and security staff not a deterrent. Secure access tag for the elevator does not work, so open access to use the lifts. Overall though we saw no issues."
