The Spotlight on Holiday Inn Manchester Central Park

Comfort and Convenience Near Manchester’s Music Scene

Modern and welcoming, the Holiday Inn Manchester Central Park puts you just outside the buzz of the Northern Quarter while keeping you close to the city's biggest concert venues. Whether you're in town for a gig or exploring Manchester's cultural side, this hotel offers a relaxing base with smart, comfortable rooms and friendly service.
Located on Oldham Road, it's well-connected by public transport and offers a peaceful night's sleep after a high-energy show.

Why Concert-goers love it

This hotel is a solid pick for music lovers thanks to its easy access to Manchester Arena and other key venues via tram or taxi. You're out of the city centre just enough to avoid late-night noise, but close enough to get back quickly post-show. With 14:00 check-in and an 11:00 check-out, there’s a bit of flexibility for night owls. Plus, the welcoming vibe makes it easy to wind down after a big night.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a budget-friendly stay with easy Uber access to venues
  • Solo travelers catching a bucket-list performance
  • Couples planning a full weekend of music and exploring
  • Fans needing a quiet, comfy place to recharge after a loud night
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who want value without sacrificing quality

Food and Drink Options

  • The on-site restaurant offers casual dining with late opening hours – perfect for post-concert cravings
  • 24/7 room service available for late-night snacks
  • Several local takeaways and eateries are within walking distance
  • Breakfast served late – ideal for those who sleep in after a gig

Nightlife Options

  • While the hotel itself is more chill, you're only a short ride from Manchester’s vibrant nightlife in the Northern Quarter
  • Nearby pubs and bars offer pre- and post-show drinks
  • Perfect for guests who want music and drinks, then a quieter place to sleep

What People Say

  • “Clean, quiet and great value” is a common theme in reviews
  • Guests love the friendly staff and smooth check-in process
  • Many mention the comfortable beds and convenient location for concerts
  • Reviewers appreciate the free Wi-Fi and parking options

Areas for Improvement

  • The area around the hotel is more suburban than central, so nightlife right outside the door is limited
  • Some guests note the decor is a bit dated, but rooms are clean and functional

The Bottom Line

If you're heading to a Manchester gig and want comfort, quiet, and value just outside the city centre, Holiday Inn Manchester Central Park is a smart choice.

Poor - 1.0 out of 5

David P, Stockton-On-Tees, visiting Co-op Live Manchester Sun, 30 June 2024

This is now not open to public which I only discovered when I pulled up to stay. Utter disgrace not being informed.

Liked: Not a thing.
Disliked: Immigration hotel.

Holiday inn and booking.com are...

Liked: Plenty of room in the car park to rebook another stay in a different hotel although getting threatened with a parking fine whilst I was having to book!!
Disliked: The fact that i had no contact as to this booking, holiday inn or booking.com had not tried to rebook us somewhere else. Arriving on the day to find that the hotel was closed and being let out to immigrants wasn’t a great start to a nice weekend!! Having to rebook a different hotel on the day isn’t easy when it’s a bank holiday!! Not happy at all. I am hoping that no charges have been made to my credit cards but yet to check the bills as of yet. Utterly disgraceful.

Com but with no reply we are now seeking action through a solicitor

Bad

Liked: Nothing as we didn't get through the front door and had no where to stay!
Disliked: When we arrived we were informed that we no longer had a reservation as the hotel was for asylum seekers, this left us without accommodation and to find elsewhere! We would have appreciated knowing this info before arriving as it was still showing active and confirmed on Booking.com

Distressing to find on arrival...

Liked: We didn’t stay at the property as it was being used as an asylum seekers hotel. Whilst booking.com helped find us alternative accommodation, they haven’t responded to our complaint sent 3wks ago!
Disliked: We arrived at the property only to find out it was being used as an asylum hotel. Booking.com have yet to reply to our complaint sent 3 weeks ago.

Bad

Disliked: Arrived at the hotel to be told that it wasn't open to the public, no warnings from the hotel or booking.com beforehand to say the hotel is no longer in use, just left to arrive to be told by a security guard. Had to book another hotel & drive 40 minutes away.Cancelled the booking but still have a £95 cancellation fee pending. I messaged the hotel & booking.com 3 days ago now & not heard a thing back from any of them, disgusting on both parts

Absolutely sensational scam!

Liked: Turning up and finding the hotel was shut because they had let asylum seekers have the hotel was a laugh!!!. We actually booked this last October through booking.com Was nice to be able to book even though it was shut then and nothing was mentioned!!! Booking.com are an absolute disgrace of a company to deal with…
Disliked: Getting scammed through the hotel was also a highlight. They communicated directly through booking.com - messaging us about needing to have a new card on file. Looks like the clever asylum seekers knew how to take control of the hotels messages and setup a nice fake website link to rinse me of some money. Booking.com have had no interest in refunding me or even looking into what has gone wrong. DO NOT DEAL WITH THIS COMPANY!!!
