I really hope that renewal started last month and expected to be over end of the year would bring solid improvement to the hotel. Rooms are pretty big (I had one with river view - view really disappointing. Furniture is pretty old and bathroom, even if with amenities, is very very old as well (somehow sad). Rooms have wifi but... More

Great location, within walking distance of everything in Manchester City Centre. Big rooms (207, 210, 211) with 2 double beds and a seating area, effectively a suite for £80 per room on the Friday and £100 on the Saturday (room only). Plenty of places for breakfast in the city. £16 per day basement parking. Well decorated, spacious, clean, quiet, fridge... More

Have stayed here before and been very happy with it. We got a free night with my rewards points so it was a double bonus. Room and bed were very nice I agree that the rooms do need bit of updating but they are still very nice. The lady on reception asked why we were staying we told her it... More

I stayed at the renaissance on business and it is clear the hotel is mid renovation from the display in the foyer and from the occasional sight of bits being lugged out of the front door. The room was clean and the bathroom was large. The fittings are very dated. I made the mistake of trying to open the bathroom... More

The location is perfect, right in the centre of Manchester, the service was excellent, really helpful staff. The hotel is beautiful, but is in need of a bit of a refurb, but certainly not to the extent that it is shabby

There was 21 of us who stayed here for my hen weekend and they gave us a floor to ourselves so we didn't need to be quiet. The service was excellent and started as soon as we arrived when staff asked to take our luggage for us. The hotel is in a brilliant location with shops and bars across the... More

Good location, with underground car parking - perhaps not best suited for late evening / night / after dark arrival for a single woman traveller. If you are arriving late, make use of the valet parking rather than do it for yourself. Also don't confuse the NCP next door with the private hotel car park - ring reception for access.... More

From the moment we arrived to the minute we left we were made to feel very welcome. We stayed here on 7th May while in Manchester to see Beyonce, we arrived at the hotel around 11.30 and was met by two lovely lads on reception who took a real interest in why we were in Manchester. Me my mum 2sisters... More

As I was travelling to Euston on the 7am service from Piccadilly I decided to stay overnight in Manchester rather than drive over early in the morning. I chose the Renaissance as it is centrally located for the train station, something to do in the evening and I am also a Marriott Rewards member so this is my preferred brand.... More
