"overall, dispite the confusion with our booking, i found the sandown to be a good place to stay over if you were going out for the night or something. its not a luxury hotel and theres not much surrounding it but it was comfortable and suited our needs for the night." (97220573)
the sandown was a short taxi ride from the city of manchester stadium where we were going to see the foo fighters. it only cost about £5. the staff were friendly and helpful and the room we had, although small and basic,was very clean and tidy and had everything we needed for an overnight stay.
i booked our room on the internet back in february, but by may i hadn't heard anything back from the hotel in the way of confirmation. i called to double check our booking,and it turned out that we were on the system but we wernt actually booked in! however the manager was very helpful in making sure that we did get a room on the night we needed. it turned out that we had a twin room instead of a double like i had booked, but this wasnt a problem for us.

"Excellent." (97880691)
The hotel had basic facilities but was very clean and met our needs. The staff, particularlt the night porter, were more the most helpful I and the others in my party have ever experienced!!
Access to a hairdryer would have been helpful.

"The stay was overall- good, just would have prefered a double room which we ordered instead of a family room. " (107271206)
Room was big and very clean as well as the ensuite. The man working on the nghtshift and doing the breakfasts was lovely and very talkative and friendly.
We had booked a double room but were given a family room containing 4 single beds. The cooked Breakfast was not the best either.

"Shockingly this hotel qualifies as an overpriced youth hostel. Furniture was as cheap as chips, the cheapest Argos variety, Rooms were shockingly bare not a picture in sight, the TV had no remote for standard channels of course, the beds were soft, the wardrobe was a metal rail in the corner, I had to pull the second bed to a side to get into the bathroom, and the sink in the bathroom was so big for such a tiny space that I literally could brush my teeth and sit on the loo at the same time. I generally felt like I was in prison in the room, and I think for £60 a night I will return to the Campanile Manchester thanks for £55. Also was asked to pay my bill up front (clearly a sign that youths tend to do a runner on a regular basis) Finally there is nothing to do in the lobby, no bar , in fact no nothing, Wandsworth Prison but at £60 a night" (107116599)
The sheets were clean
Poor decor (in fact non existant). Poor room layouts Poor bathroom accessibility Poor atmosphere Poor ambiance Poor reception area

"The position re refurbishment & lack of television should have been clearly stated when making the booking. Price reductions on account of these should have been clearly granted & stated." (97396405)
Room was newly decorated and very functional.
Shower in room did not function correctly, hot & cold water would not mix. Lack of television. Due to refurbishment common areas were bare floorboards.
