Bottom Line

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.

Scene

Functional, clean no-frills rooms and spaces

This Premier Inn draws a mix of guests, including couples and families looking for a budget-friendly hotel in a convenient location away from the city center's frenzy and its conference attendees. Its exterior and public indoor spaces have
a sterile institutional look, and interiors are decorated in the chain’s
trademark purple color scheme, with purple carpets, wall panels, and curtains -- a color scheme that continues into the restaurant and bar. The property might look dull and institutional, but public spaces are neat and tidy. A relaxed vibe pervades, with a friendly staff that goes out of its way to help guests.
