Townhouse Hotel Manchester is a four-pearl property in a restored 19th-century heritage building, which was once a cotton warehouse before it was transformed into an upscale hotel with 85 stylish contemporary rooms. Higher-category rooms have Nespresso machines and Bose Bluetooth speakers, but unlike many of its upscale competitors, Townhouse Hotel Manchester has neither a fitness center, spa, or swimming pool, and rooms lack minibars. Travelers might want to check out The Midland, another upscale heritage hotel, which has a health club with a pool and squash court.

A brasserie serves food all day, including both hot and cold options for breakfast, and has live music and DJs on the weekends. The 61 rooms have a trendy, loft-like style with original features plus free Wi-Fi and air-conditioning.

The ibis budget Manchester Centre Pollard Street does not pretend to be anything other than what it is -- a solid value option a short tram ride from central Manchester. The 150 rooms at this two-pearl hotel are basic but spotless, done up in shades of sage green. They're outfitted with flat-screen TVs and cubicle-style bathrooms, but some guests feel that these do not provide enough privacy. Downstairs, the hotel is decorated with splashes of cobalt, lime green, and bright orange, and there is an area that serves a reasonably priced continental breakfast buffet. Travelers looking for a budget hotel in the center of Manchester might want to try the Premier Inn Manchester City Centre - Portland Street.

The Marriott Manchester Victoria & Albert Hotel is a beautifully converted 19th century warehouse located in the trendy Spinningfields district, next to the River Irwell. This four-pearl property is full of character and charm, thanks to the restored wooden beams and pillars and exposed brick walls that are found throughout the historic property, including in the stylish rooms and suites. The 148 rooms have modern amenities, and some have balconies with river views. But for an upscale hotel, some important features are annoyingly absent: There's no on-site fitness center; lower category rooms don’t have minibars; and breakfast commands an extra charge, as does parking and Wi-Fi (though it's free for Marriott Rewards card holders). Travelers looking for a historic property with more on-site facilities might prefer The Midland, which offers a pool, gym, and impressive fitness center.

Three-pearl Britannia Manchester is a real mixed bag. On the plus side, the location is spot on, with the city's top shopping and attractions just outside. Additionally, the historic building has some charming details, like beautiful carvings and statues, plus stunning staircases. However, its 363 rooms are mostly worn and dated. The hotel sadly lacks air-conditioning, some rooms are windowless, and there are fees for in-room Wi-Fi. However, renovations are underway as of 2017. Features are few -- with no business center or gym -- though there are two restaurants serving all meals, and two bars. Club nights happen on the weekends. Overall, this is an OK choice with low rates for such a central spot, but savvier travelers might prefer the nearby Gardens Hotel, where breakfast and Wi-Fi are included.

The three-and-a-half-pearl The Light ApartHotel ticks pretty much every box for a solid city stay -- especially for travelers on long trips or looking for a bit of independence. The location is spot on -- between the Arndale Shopping Centre and trendy Afflecks marketplace -- and the free metrobus stops right outside of the hotel. Extras include a bar, free to-go breakfast, and a small gym -- none of which are often found in apartment-style hotels. The 69 apartments come in a wide range of configurations, with free Wi-Fi and flat-screen TVs, though there's no air-conditioning and some guests have noted tired interiors. There's not much missing here, but travelers looking for a more stylized finish may prefer nearby Renaissance Hotel, which has a restaurant, but lacks the apartment-style accommodations.

The upscale Hilton Manchester Deansgate occupies 23 floors of Beetham Tower, Manchester’s highest building and one of the city’s most iconic modern landmarks. All of the 279 contemporary rooms and suites have a scenic view of the cityscape, as does the stylish Cloud 23 bar, one of the city’s most popular nightspots. Even the swimming pool here has a view thanks to being enclosed in glass panels. A notable downside is the lack of free Wi-Fi access which is reserved for Hilton Hhonors members, and only guests staying in the Executive Rooms can enjoy a free breakfast, as well as other perks in the Executive Lounge. While this is one of the trendiest places to stay in Manchester city center, it's more expensive than nearby upscale hotels. It’s worth checking out more reasonably priced options, like The Midland which occupies an elegant heritage building, and has an impressive pool and squash court.

The DoubleTree by Hilton Manchester Piccadilly is located in the center of the city directly across from Piccadilly train station, making this a convenient place to stay for tourists and business travelers. This upscale hotel has 12 floors with 285 comfortable rooms decorated in a bright, contemporary style. The Apple iMac in every room which doubles as a TV and entertainment system is an original touch. But other comparable hotels in the vicinity offer better value for the money, like The Midland, in an elegant heritage building with a pool and squash court, or Roomzzz Aparthotel which offers spacious apartments and includes breakfast.

You'd be hard pressed to find a hotel building that has borne witness to a more impressive catalog of iconic 20th-century moments, from Churchill speeches to groundbreaking musical performances. Rooms are certainly high-end, but lacking the wow factor some may expect from an advertised five-star property. The spa is suitably swanky, especially the large pool, and the two on-site dining options are both excellent. The nearest competition is The Midland hotel, offering similarly refined lodging close by, though its rates are usually a little lower.

The 199-room Premier Inn Manchester City Centre, located within a 15-minute walk of the city center, offers clean and pleasant mid-range rooms with no fancy extras. Rooms range from Singles to Family Rooms that can sleep up to four, and business travelers with accounts get special perks. Originally built for the Commonwealth Games in 2002, the property occupies a nondescript building surrounded by residential apartment blocks, retail outlets, and other hotels. A highway overpass is nearby, but the rooms, with double- and triple-glazed windows, are well insulated against outside noise. Still, guests have complained about noisy floors (due to bachelor and bachelorette parties) and pipes. Compared with other hotels in the area, the Premier Inn Manchester City Centre Deansgate offers competitive rates, especially if booking on its website.
