I have just finished my one-night stay at Hotel Indigo Manchester<\/a> earlier this week. I wasn’t too sure about writing a review as it’s probably not of great interest, but after seeing a very good deal on Groupon I’ve decided to do a brief one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Situated next to the Manchester Victoria station, the hotel is in an original Grade-II listed Victorian building. You may have seen its photo:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

But actually it’s slightly misleading. The majority of rooms are actually in the new annex building, which is as high as 13 floors. The reception, restaurant and limited number of superior rooms and suites are in the Victorian building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I booked an IHG Lifestyle rate plan as I’ve explained before<\/a>. At BFR (\u00a380) it comes with 2pm late checkout, room upgrade, welcome fruits and most importantly, $50 credit to spend in hotel. I do expect a lot of confusions though, as I suspect I might be the first guest who books this rate at this hotel!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Double Standard room is upgraded to a King Standard on the 11th floor in the new rotunda. As you can see the shape is a bit unusual:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its design meets my expectation for an Indigo: modern cosy style with warm colours, and limited furnishing to make the room look more spacious. It’s not gonna be comfortable if you need to spend a lot of time on the work desk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The floor-to-ceiling window is very nice. Despite of its proximity to Victoria station, I heard literally zero noise throughout my stay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Here is the free minibar…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Breakfast is \u00a314.95 and all food is cooked to order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

To use my credit I also had a burger for dinner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Unsurprisingly none of the front desk staff knew anything about IHG Lifestyle, and it took a lot of explanation and I had to send them the screenshot of my reservation details. Apart from that it’s been a pleasant stay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you also want to visit this hotel, there’s a very good deal on Groupon which you could access here<\/a>. It’s for a “Top Secret Hotel in Manchester”, but from the photos I’m 100% sure it’s the Indigo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

You could book and get confirmation right away. There are three room types available: Standard Double, Standard King and Superior. For most dates the rates are \u00a369, \u00a389 and \u00a399 respectively, and on Saturdays they increase to \u00a399, \u00a3109 and \u00a3129. All rates are inclusive of breakfast<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a369 plus breakfast is roughly the same value as my IHG Lifestyle package. I don’t recommend booking Standard King as the only difference is a larger bed. If you prefer to stay in the old Victorian building you could consider going for the Superior Room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Travel until end of 2021 and bookings are refundable 48 hours before arrival.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
