My darling southern friend travelled up north on New Years Day surrounded by people making their way home from the night before, still plastered, so I had to show her a good night out. I figured Manchester wasn't too far and it was infamous for the party scene, we then encounter a little problem...Hotels!
She had just returned from a year of travelling and her purse was a little lighter than she had hoped so splashing out wasn't an option, in fact, paddling wasn't really an option either so it was basically dipping our toes in, or staying in and watching the new Take Me Out (which was a genuine option). Que, Ibis Budget hotel in Manchester. They had 3 person rooms which was perfect because sharing a double bed between 3 of us when one is over 6ft, isn't really do-able in an ideal world.

The room was quite small and the shower was just a door away, if you're not completely comfortable going starkers in front of friends then you should probably book elsewhere but for £20 each you get what you pay for really. I was rather surprised at the pricing of hotels in Manc, it's like London prices! It was a double bed with a bunk over the top, I of course raced for the bunk. After several vodkas, shots and jagers I slept like a wee little baby. Part from the foreign men who kept trying to force their way into the room all night! Props to the security guard though, I grassed and within 15 minutes they where out on the street, suitcases in hand!
Comfort 5/10
It wasn't the best bed and I had to make it myself, however, warm your cockles with a couple of voddies and you should pass out in peace
Location 9/10
Right in the centre, like £2.50 taxi to Printworks and £6 to Deansgate. You could walk but my 6 inchers weren't having none of that...aint nobody got time for that
Quality 5/10
Again, people kept us up a lot and the room was small for the price but you don't get cheaper than that in Manchester apparently so unless you want to splash out this is the best your going to get on the cheap.
It's nice to stay in good places, But I don't mind staying in smaller places that are cheaper sometimes as long as they are in good areas.
