Premier Inn Manchester Salford Media City

Rooms at the Manchester Salford Media City Premier Inn feature a king-size Hypnos bed and a comfortable chair (twin rooms have a double bed and a chaise longue/sofa bed), a writing desk, flat-screen television, tea and coffee making facilities and an en suite bathroom. Rooms at this hotel are air-conditioned and all rooms have free Wi-Fi wireless internet access (up to 1GB per day).

The hotel has automated check-in machines that are a quick and easy way to check in (there is a staffed reception desk as well if you prefer to deal with a real person).

The hotel also features the Thyme Bar & Grill, which has an international menu with mostly casual options. The hotel restaurant is open for breakfast and dinner.

Like other hotels in the Premier Inn chain, this hotel is clean and well maintained offering a great value accommodation option but it is somewhat lacking in character.

This hotel is located in MediaCityUK, a modern office and residential development in the Salford Quays that is home to the BBC. Despite the suburban location, there are several points of interest within a 10-minute walk including IWM North, The Lowry and the Lowry Outlet Centre. The MediaCityUK Metrolink tram stop is a five-minute walk from the hotel.

Premier Inn is the largest hotel chain in the United Kingdom and usually scores very high on customer surveys when compared to other UK hotel chains. It operates at the budget end of the market and provides a reasonably high standard of accommodation for the price, and is comparable to ibis and Travelodge hotels.
