A charming choice just beyond the city center of Manchester
The Best Western Willow Bank Hotel is just outside the city center with easy access to main roadways leading to the downtown core and attractions in surrounding areas. Guests enjoy on-site parking, complimentary Wi-Fi Internet access throughout the hotel, and rooms that are easy to get to because they are all on the ground floor. Enjoy a meal at the on-site Coliseum Room or meet people for drinks at the Enigma Room. The Best Western is a great choice for business travel with a helpful staff on hand and several meeting rooms to choose from.
Highlights
  • Complimentary champagne with weekend breakfast
  • Near Curry Mile
  • Parking on site
Rooms
Choose from standard, executive and superior double guest rooms at the Best Western Willow Bank Hotel, all of which are nicely decorated and comfortable. Executive and superior double rooms are the most spacious and offer the nicest amenities. But all rooms have large televisions and complimentary Wi-Fi Internet access. DVD players and PlayStations are available at the reception desk.
Features

Located just outside the city center, and not far from the Manchester airport, the Best Western Willow Bank Hotel is nicely situated for business travel or sightseeing. Enjoy a meal with friends and family at the Coliseum Room, where guests can enjoy complimentary champagne with weekend breakfasts (restrictions apply).

 

There is plenty to do and see within a few minutes of the Best Western Willow Bank Hotel, from shopping to theater, to sports. Start at Trafford Centre or Exchange Square for endless shopping options. There is a match at Old Trafford nearly every day, so be sure to catch one in this football-mad city. The Manchester Art Gallery is home to a number of fascinating collections, and well worth the trip. You will not regret making time for a great performance at the Opera House or the Palace Theatre. But if adventure is what is called for, check out Chill Factore for indoor skiing all year round.

Good Value

The check-in staff offered us an upgrade so we could have the same room for 7 nights, and that was greatly appreciated!

Stylisches Hotel

Das Personal ist nett und die LAge an der Wilmslowroad nicht schlecht. DIe Bushaltestelle Richtung Innenstadt (ca. 20min) ist vor der Haustür. Keine Baustellen in der Nähe und bis auf den einen oder anderen angetrunkenen Engländer auf nächtlichem Spazirgang im Flur hat man seine Ruhe. Das british breakfast ist ordentlich. Kann ich nur empfehlen. Mit der Sauberkeit hapert es ein wenig: Nachdem wir an der Rezeption erwähnten dass das Bad bezüglich der Hygene nicht unseren Erwartungen enspricht bekamen wir dafür ein besseres Zimmer ohne Aufpreis angeboten. Die Lounge und der Essenssaal sehr schmackhaft dekoriert. Zum wohlfühlen und ein Fest fürs Auge.
