Guest Reviews of Hilton Chambers - Hostel

"A very enjoyable stay and i would definitely stay here again"

I was pleasantly surprised with the hostels facilities, especially the 'cinema' and internet rooms.

clean room, I have expected it to be worse then that !

"would recommend this hostel to my friends. planning on staying there again. "

comfortable bed! very clean room! nice service!!!!!

"Very much worth of the money. Good location, good service and a good room. I booked a double room as in many places single rooms are very small. I think in this place even single room would be big enough didn't check. Possibility to use kitchen is definitely an advantage for a person like me. Definitely I will stay there if possible during my next stay in Manchester due to my studies. Online booking was easy and reliable."

I was very surprised of the quality, far better than I expected. The check-in person sorted out well a small problem in the booking system so that I didn't need to change rooms during my two night stay. Room was very large and had good en-suite bathroom. Bed was good and bedding warm and clean and suitable for a person allergic to feathers. Kitchen available for making tea and even for cooking, fridge available and no one stole my youghurts. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. Near the railway station Piccadilly, no need to use taxi. TV in the room luxury. No traffic noise or disturbance by fellow visitors.

Stairs to climb up to the check-in and up to the room. Computer room is small and two of the four desk tops were out of order. Visitor has to pay for the use of internet. Wireless not available.small issues, wireless is available in many places in town, no worries really.

"Very good if you want a budget stay , would recommend . One small note : the mattresses were rather soft , would have been a perfect 10 if it weren't for them ..otherwise Really pleasent indeed ."

Very centrally located ,friendly and helpful staff .

only bad point is that there was a small skip depot underneath the room , and people used to throw empty glass bottles which often shattered making a loud noise ...especially at 3am , but this did not effect the overall stay at all .

"Excellent. Perfect location and relaxed place to stay, really was the cherry on the cake for our visit."

Friendly staff, central location, 24hr reception, good sized room and huge bathroom, relaxed atmosphere

3 o'clock check in was quite late for us, though we were able to dump our bags so it didn't really matter.

"It was very nice, staff were helpful, rooms clean, facilities well maintained, close to a variety of things."

"nice big rooms, adiquate / local / good value, when an event on at the M.E.N"

very close to the M.E.N, easy to find

The receptionists were very helpful and friendly

The towels were not changed everyday and we had to go to the reception and get them ourselves.

"the questions were all on the web site ie cleanleness"

the hotel was ample for a overnight stay and ample space and very clean would recomend

very minor detail area not to brilliant

the room was ok apart from 2 points

should have more pillows in rooms and the blind was to thin

"The stay was enjoyable enough as it was only for one night, if we stay over in manchester again I would use a proper hotel. It did not say on the internet advert it was a hostel type accomodation albeit with private rooms. The staff when asked directions to the City of Manchester stadium sent us in the wrong direction.....one would think they would know where a major sporting venue was situated. But overall you pay for what you get in the main...so some complaints but only minor ones."

spacious and clean

no bedroom tea/coffee facilities which meant using a kitchenette, which was short of the bare essentials. They advertised continental breakfast....is brown bread, which was all that was available for toast, continental ?. It would be easier to put a kettle etc in the bedroom. The plugs in the sinks, both hand basin and bath did not work properly, they had to be lifted manually to drain the water. They could have advertised that there were no parking facilities. It cost

"overall it was good we really enjoyed our time with you."

it was in a great location it was close to shops and nightlife, the room was clean and the bed was huge and really comfy, for the cost it was really good we really didn't expect to get the level of comfort in budget accommodation we were even able to check in far earlier than stated great

there was only 2 niggles where there could be improvements the first was a broken blind at the window and the other was that there was a large gap under the door which meant that we were woken 3 times in the night as other guests returned to their rooms noisily, you cant do anything about other guests being noisy but a better fitting door or even installing a brush or similar device to the bottom of the door would cut down on the noise and be cheap and easy to install.

"We had a nice large double room with on-suite bathroom - very comfortable large bed with clean sheets and towels we stayed in room 301 on the 3rd floor. We only stayed one night in manchester but would certainly consider staying at this hotel again if we were passing through."

Large clean room. Polite helpful reception staff.

Central Location ideal for shopping & nightlife

Noise from transport poor sound proofing windows in attic rooms

"the location was fantastic too, a 5 min walk from picadilly station, 2 min walk to primark and all the high street shops and the arndale. we stayed in manchester as we were going to see BloodBrothers in the Opera House, the opera house its self was literally a 10 min walk down one main road, portland street i think. lots of bars and casinos to visit."

The double ensuite room i booked was spotless, and modern.

nothing, it was excellent. we had a fantastic stay!! the staff were helpful and printed out a map for us to the opera house.

1.very noise guests,children running about and shouting till about 5am. 2.poor breackfast choice of food.and quantity available

"The room was very clean and spacious with modern decore and unlimited use of tea and coffee facilities, its a few minutes from the main shopping area but without any of the noise,with both shower and bath and a 5 minute walk from the train station and the Manchester news arena."

all of it

The acomodation was ideal for one night, it was clean,

Staff were friendly and helpful. Room was clean, comfortable and quiet. The hotel was good value for money.

Friendly staff and good atmosphere.

"When we booked, it said that breakfast was included. We did not realise that it was just 'make your own toast'. It was okay, but would have been nice to know before hand."

Clean, position in the city and space of rooms - we stayed in a double.

Need bathroom floor mat for double rooms.

"night mare,will not recommend it to anyone"

It was pathetic,not worth staying

everything,horrible experience,sleazy rooms not worth to stay with family

"Very good accomodation, no complaints"

Good central location, free toast and tea and coffee and internet access was a very nice touch

Loud music could be heard from one of the establishments nearby

"we enjoyed our time at the hotel but we didn't realise it was hostel type accommodation and therefore self service in the kitchen. we used this only to make a hot drink after our evening out. perhaps in the private rooms/ loft conversions tea and coffee making facilities could be provided. our room was very clean and comfortable"

spacious room, cleanliness, comfortable bed

self service kitchen

"overall enjoyed our stay. no complaints apart from tiny minor ones."

the hotel room was immaculate. was closeby to the menn arena and train staion,which was why booked it.

no hairdryer in room although you could borrow one from reception wasnt the same,and no kettle and stuff for tea which we got in last hotel not a major issue though.

Clean, comfy & nice

the noise

The Room was spacious and clean - and the heating was on all the time - nice and warm

This is a Hostel not a Hotel, and the Breakfast was extremely poor, and had to be eaten in the communal hostel Kitchen Toilets on the check in level by the TV Room were locked

"near to the city centre, quite nice stay in there."

cleanliness of the hotel and the staff are fridenly~

"Did not know if there was parking available, on arrival we were told of the NCP just down the road so no problem."

Good room, location of Hotel was also very good

could not turn down the radiator, room was too hot and if you opened the windows the noise from the traffic was too loud.

"A good place to stay if wanting a central location. The hotel is pretty basic and is actually twinned with a cheap hostel which is a little confusing on first impressions. The staff are very friendly and the rooms are spacious and clean."

Central location

No parking on site had to park in nearby NCP

"Although the website claimed this was a hostel type hotel we were not aware when booking that we would have to cook and clean up our breakfast things so we didint actually have any breakfast which we paid for. The location of the hotel/hostel howerver was brilliant and the cleanliness and standards of the rooms was high so in future, if I needed to stay again, I might be tempted to book again just not include breakfast."

Clean, spacious, modern bedroom with nice en-suite bathroom. Great location.

The website claimed it was supposed to be bed and continental breakfast which consisted of making your own toast with some jam on then washing your plates and cutlery afterwards. This is not my idea of a continental breakfast, usually its croissants, cheeses and meats etc which is prepared for you and somebody else washes up after you. Also, one of the blinds was broken on the window and wasnt fixed while we were there which meant we were overlooked during the day by the offices opposite.

"very nice accomodation, didn't realise it was a hostel though"

very clean, new looking furniture, pleasant staff, quiet

"Great price for clean, comfortable rooms in a good location. However, it can't seem to decide if it's a posh hostel or a cheap hotel, so your hotel-like room is somewhat marred by the hostel-like noise."

Location, hotel-like security swipe cards, proper luggage office, free internet access.

Noise of other guests - due to the hostel ethos, many other guests are pretty inconsiderate and roll in drunk and shouting in the wee hours of the morning. It's noisy even in the private en-suite rooms as the walls are fairly thin.

The room and bathroom were clean.

Traffic noise, having to walk around the room to switch the only light off. No hot drink facility in room.

The bed was large and very comfortable, very good shower too.

Nothing at all

Location was good, Nice view from Room, Very comfy Bed, Freindly and helpful staff, Kitchen.

No hot water for shower at 10am!! - Room was not ready at 14.30 when we arrived.

"I would recommend the hotel to anyone. It was immaculately clean. The only one thing I would say is that it is possibly more for younger people. The kitchen is communal which we knew about and people are supposed to wash up after themselves which many didn"

The Hilton Chambers was friendly, clean and comfortable. It was close to the shopping centres and near lots of cafe's and pubs.

"Very pleasant overnight stay, room clean ans spacious. The staff were all pleasant and relaxed, very comfortable atmosphere."

the room was very clean, and comfortable. The staff were pleasant and helpfull, the hotel has a very relaxed atomsphere.

would of liked a hairdryer in the room, I forgot mine!

"I felt that we were very welcomed in this hotel. We got lost and the gentleman who 'talked me through' getting to the hotel was extrememly knowledgable and helpful. Thank you very much C!My only disappointment was that I was 100% sure that I had booked a bed and breakfast for the 2 nights but that was my fault no one elses!! The hotel was very near the MEN arena and close to Manchester city centre. All staff that we spoke to were very helpful and knew the city exceptionally well."

the bed in the room was fantastic! the room and bathroom was very clean

throughout our 2 night stay there wasn't anything i didn't like however i did find that the room was very cold with nowhere to dry towels after shower/bath

"a well presented cheap and cheerful hotel with no airs or graces above the student type area where breakfast is no more than tea and toast en mass with people walking around eating and brushing teeth in reception. not to be confused with the hilton chain of hotels make sure you get correct address for taxi as will probably take you to new hilton hotel on deansgate which this is not. get over the initial impression and you will be pleasantly surprised. good for centre of town but very noisy at 4am when witching hour clubs kick outoccurs."

nice clean and spacious room

shared with what appeared to be a hostel type of accommodation below with reception very unorganised due to large amount of people changing over at same time

it was clean, central and had a massive kingsize bed!

it was very basic, not quite what we had in mind. Breakfast was supposed to be included, however this consisted of a self catering kitchen so we were therefore dissapointed. This should be highlighted on the details.
