A Taste Of Asia

Advantages: Great food, great staff and service, very clean, sticky rice to die for
Disadvantages: no kids menu a little priceier than your average curry house

...I've never tried writing and review on a restaurant before but Asia Lounge is one of my favourite places to eat so I thought I'd give it a go and hope I do it some justice. What Is the Asia Lounge Asia Lounge is the newest restaurant in Bury, Manchester. It only opened at the back end of last year. The restaurant serves up authentic Thai and Indian dishes. The chefs themselves are from Thailand and Pakistan. The restaurant has two floors and can seat 200 guests. As well as taking bookings it is also available to hire for functions. Although the Asia Lounge isn't a take away it will do so by special request. Location Asia Lounge is located on Rochdale Road, Bury just on the corner of Heywood Street. The Restaurant The restaurant itself has a red theme going on, plain walls with pieces of ethnic art on the walls, wooden floors...

An Excellent, Thought-Provoking Visit For All the Family

Advantages: Informative in an engaging way
Disadvantages: None

...I remember going to the Imperial War Museum in London when I was a child and having a great time, so when I discovered there was one here in the North, I decided to pay a visit. - The Imperial War Museum North is housed in an obscure, but interesting, looking building and is basically made up of two floors: - The ground floor is the entrance and includes the gift shop, a dining room (where you can eat your packed lunch, if you've brought one), a cloak room, learning studio and the elevator to the Air Shard (which is a 29 metre high viewing platform, from which you can see most of Manchester). - The second floor is where the exhibition rooms are. There are two; the Main Exhibition Space which contains the permanent display of war artefacts and the Special Exhibitions gallery which contains the temporary exhibitions. When I...

Super hotel in the heart of Manchester

Advantages: Location, staff, nice rooms
Disadvantages: Expensive

...I have had the pleasure of staying here on business on several occasions. My mother?s family come from Manchester so I always really enjoy visiting Manchester. About the hotel: The Arora Manchester is a four star hotel with over 140 bedrooms. It?s part owned by Cliff Richard and there are even five special Cliff bedrooms decorated with his memorabilia if you like that kind of thing! The location on Princess Street is also excellent as you are in the city centre and only 10 minutes walk from Piccadilly station if you arrive by train. It?s also about a 20-minute journey from the airport, which is also very convenient. The hotel doesn?t have it?s own car park but apparently guests can use the nearby NCP to park at a discounted rate. First Impressions: It?s an old fashioned looking building but it also looks quite grand. It is also...

Ruling in Manchester now too?

Advantages: reasonable price if booked in advance
Disadvantages: none really

...As with my previous recent reviews this forms a part of my need to get a life ethos, and even though I live a short distance from Manchester on a planned night out on the town I decided it was better worth my time staying over than drunkely seeking the nightbus home. So armed with my trusty cashback paying link to a hotelbooking site I found this one for the night. I paid £50 for a doubleroom with no food included, the hotels standard rate is around £66 so a considerable saving especially given I only booked a few days before I wanted to stay. The hotel itself is seconds from Picadilly Gardens which is the location of a large bus station and a tram stop which runs between the two main train stations, it is also a few minutes walk from the main Bus Station in the city where the National Express coaches stop. The hotel has...

Our Days in Manchester

Advantages: Clean, comfortable, good food, handy for the hospital
Disadvantages: We had one or two problems - see review

...of the hotel is Days Hotel, Weston Building, Sackville St, Manchester, Greater Manchester, M1 3BB It is half a kilometer from Manchester Piccadilly Railway Station and 10 kilometers from Manchester Airport. It took us about ten minutes to walk into the centre of Manchester from the hotel. It is about 20 minutes walk from Manchester Royal Infirmary! Directions on how to find the hotel are on the active hotels website www.activehotels.com/servlet/xmlbrochure/index.do?hotelid=217168&trkref=KWI&subid=G.1 *** Check in *** When we finally arrived at the hotel on the day we took mom to hospital check in was efficient and quick. We just had to sign the credit card form although, as I said before, no money would be taken form our account until we checked out at the end of our stay. We were asked if we would like a key each, which was very...

Manchester Hotel

Advantages: Godd value
Disadvantages: none

...Holiday Inn Express Salford Quays is situated in a very nice location on the waterfront, my room looked out over the renovated canals and docklands which was good. We were greeted by a very friendly receptionist who was very helpful in giving us local information and directions. All the staff were helpful and friendly ( even when we managed to lock ourselves out of our room!) The room was modern and very clean with plenty of coffee, cups , towels etc Breakfast was as good - plenty of seating, nice dining room, and good length of hours on the Sunday morning in which to get it. Location-wise, it's about 14 minutes on the Metrolink tram from Manchester Piccadilly station on the Eccles line, and from there about a 4-minute walk. Taxi from the city cost us £10 late on Saturday evening, as the Metrolink finishes at 12.30am. Overall I...

Radisson Edwardian, Manchester

Advantages: Location
Disadvantages: Expensive for just a room.

...Nice hotel and you do get a sense of actually gettinh what you pay for. That's probably because the rooms are quite expensive - if you just want somewhere to sleep during your weekend in Manchester. Would say its worth paying for as a treat to be in nicer surroundings but not worth paying for if you're not going to be in your hotel room long and just using it for somewhere to dump your shopping and get your head down after a night out. If however, you have money to burn and don't care what you pay. Its the place for you why not? The rooms were stylish and impressive when you walked in - with floor to ceiling windows giving you a nice view - depending which side of the building you were on. Central location just being off Deansgate, so close to everything including china town, city centre, pubs, clubs etc. Nice if you fancy...

Bewleys Hotel Manchester Airport

Advantages: near to airport a comfortable hotel and affordable
Disadvantages: none

...***Introduction*** I had a flight booked from Manchester to Rhodes three weeks ago but unfortunately the check in time was 5.30 am. I really needed to be refreshed on my arrival because it was a business trip so I decided to check into Bewleys Hotel the night before, I have on previous occasions driven from home to the airport and found it very tedious and stressful normally leaving me feeling like a washed up dish rag by the time I arrived at my destination. ***The Hotel*** It is situated about three minutes walk from terminal 3 but also provides a 24 hour shuttle service to all the terminals. I actually travelled by train to the airport and on arrival I located the free phone in the main concourse to contact the shuttle service, they picked me up within five minutes which impressed me no end. It is a large...

Review of Bewley's Hotel Manchester Airport, Manchester

Manchester United

Advantages: most prolific team in England, best fans in the world
Disadvantages: slightly leaky defence at the moment

...What can I say that hasn't already been said about England's most prolific football club. Most people know everything from the Munich air disaster to the treble season of 1998/99, two hugely differing events in the history of an absolutely fantastic football team. I personally have been priveleged to support such a great side ever since my birth in 1986, and having gone on to see them roughly 500 times in various areas of the country (and the world). Manchester United PLC. Chairman - Sir Roy Gardner Chief Executive - David Gill Manchester United FC Manager - Sir Alex Ferguson Assistant Manager - Carlos Queiroz President - Martin Edwards Formed - 1878 (formerly Newton Heath but name changed to Manchester United in 1902) The club also gave me the greatest day of my life - even though ive seen them play so many times...
