We booked this hotel as I was running the Great Manchester Run, and more by luck than judgement it was virtually on the start line. It was very easy to find, park and access the city centre on foot. All the staff we met were friendly and helpful and we were able to keep the room longer the next day... More

The rooms are nice, the food is good and the reception staff were helpful. We stayed in a suite and although the layout was a little odd the room was a generous size and the Krups coffee machine was a great touch. The service in the restaurant was of a poor standard for both dinner and breakfast. At dinner the... More

The whole idea of the design hotel with quirky touches and individual ideas gets blunted by the coporate process.... More

I just stayed in a suite, lovely large living room with very comfy couch and a big tv, lovely big bathroom one of the biggest I have ever had in a hotel. The bedroom was like a spa treatment room and the only problem I had is that in a suite the bedroom doesn't have window. It is a light... More

We were met with exeptional warmth of service upon checking in and this level pf service continued until we checked out. Just an overnight stay, nothing was too much trouble and standard of accomodation was as we would expect, clean, spacious and with extra touches that some chains neglet to offer. This was our first time in a MacDonald hotel... More

We stayed at the Macdonald Townhouse on 4th May 2012 and were really pleased with our stay. We had booked an Executive room at the hotel and were upgraded to a suite. It was clean, contemporary, with a very comfortable bed, and with beautiful bathroom facilities. A very spacious room indeed. The breakfast was lovely, fresh, and the bar was... More
