I stayed at Ibis Styles Portland Manchester from 24th-26th January 2025 with my partner to celebrate her birthday, and unfortunately, our experience did not meet expectations. Before our arrival, we were informed via message that the parking discounts and availability we had initially been offered were no longer applicable. This last-minute change caused significant inconvenience, additional cost, and unnecessary stress to the start of our stay. Additionally, the room itself was disappointing. The bed was extremely uncomfortable, old, and hard, leading us to purchase our own duvet, duvet covers, and pillows to improve the quality of sleep. The provided bedding was inadequate, with only one flattened pillow each and a thin duvet. We asked for extra bedding but were told only one pillow could be provided. The bathroom was not properly cleaned, with hairs left in the shower, which was very disappointing. Furthermore, the room was listed as having a sofa, but instead, there was just a small footstool, which did not meet our expectations. Overall, the lack of attention to detail, poor comfort, and changes to advertised services made for an unpleasant stay. I would not recommend this hotel, as it did not offer the level of service or quality promised.

Good-convenient for trams, shops, restaurants

Have to use your room card to call lift on ground floor-good for security but a bit of a faff. Bedroom and bathroom were clean but note on thermostat said filter needed changing and it looked black. I didn't need towels or bed changing but think rooms could be checked to see if milk and teabags etc need topping up. Breakfast was very good. Plenty of cereals, fruit, cheese, ham. Bacon, sausage, scrambled egg and hash browns were hot and replenished quickly unlike alot of places

Sadly very poor stay, booked two rooms for family catch up in between radiotherapy Session, one of the rooms did not have any heating on one of the coldest night's of the year, room was so cold and staff did bring us up a additional duvet but room was so cold by then it made no difference
