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...

Review of Arora International Manchester, Manchester

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...

Into The Sinking

Advantages: Some nice underwater stuff
Disadvantages: Tired idea, Paul Walker, Uneven tone

...It is mid-morning in Los Angeles, the coffee has just been brewed and the bagels and muffins are still warm. One movie exec doesn't touch them because he's on a no-food diet. The other loads up on caffeine in an attempt to wake himself up after a night of snorting cocaine off a stripper's body. "Listen we've got nothing to follow the summer period and we need something for the kids, plus I've got my eye on a new condo in the hills" "Well I had an idea last night and it was hot" "Great! Let's hear it!" " We'll get some hot young actors and actresses, throw them in the Bahamas and have them walk around in nothing but shorts and bikinis." "I like it, what about the story?" "Who cares, we'll chuck them on the poster with next to nothing on" "Brilliant! Let's do a deal over lunch!" Into The Blue is one of those movies...

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...

Our Days in Manchester

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

...As those of you who have been reading my 'about me' information will know, we have recently had to stay in Manchester to be near my mom who had to go into Manchester Royal Infirmary for an operation, which never happened as she wasn't strong enough to survive the anaesthetic but that's another story. As I had a lot of arrangements to make Dave decided to take over and find us a suitable hotel for the duration. He wanted to find something really nice but at a reasonable price as this was likely to be the nearest either of us would get to a holiday this year as I am full time carer to mom who has dementia. Anyway after much searching he finally found The Days Hotel at the end of Sackville Street nearest to the Mancunian Way and thus nearest to the Manchester Royal Infirmary. *** The Booking *** We decided to book a Work Zone...

Review of Days Hotel Manchester City, Manchester

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...

Manchester United

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

...win the European Cup. This sucess was the perfect tonic for a United side still suffering the aftershock of the Munich Air Disaster of February 6th 1958. Despite the plane crash being ten years prior to the European Cup sucess, it was always said that United would never get over the terrible tragedy of that day. The crash occured when the plane that was carrying the majority of the United team aswell as crew members, attempted to take off in terrible conditions. The attempt went terribly wrong and the plane spun off the runway and crashed into a hut that contained a fuel-loaded truck which then exploded into a fire-ball killing 21 people, including 8 Manchester United players and 3 staff. Various players who were thought to be dead, eventually survived, Bobby Charlton being one. Sir Matt himself only just pulled through after being...

Review of Manchester United

* Into Paradise *

Advantages: Excellent Voices , Great
Disadvantages: One or two Songs I don't like

...All Angels are a British Classical group consisting of four girls : Charlotte Ritchie, Melanie Nakhla, Laura Wright, and Daisy Chute. The band was formed in 2005. To date the girls have had two albums All Angels and Into Paradise. Their music comes under the opera , pop , classical and crossover genres. * Sancte Deus * This song starts off with one singer, then two singers and then the rest of the group join in. This song is very 'church choir'. The music appears too loud , as can't hear voices in some places on the song and the vocals are not that too clear. Not my favourite song. * In Paradisum * The music is played quite fast although the vocals are slow. I don't really know what else to say about this song?um?..there is the sound of violins? * Make Me A Channel * This song starts off with all four of the girls singing. I...

Review of Into Paradise - All Angels

Manchester United - Champions.

Advantages: great entertainment, great to watch, good hobby.
Disadvantages: can get to addicted, costs quite a lot to view in real life.

...I am a huge Manchester United fan, i have been a season ticket for years and they are WELL WORTH the money. i went to Rome to watch the might reds in action against Barcelona, yes we lost, but still we won it the year before :) Manchester united are the biggest team in the world as many people will know :) I have always loved Manchester united as should everyone, we have the biggest fan base in the world and have the biggest club stadium in the UK. Old Trafford - The theatre of dreams, holds up to 76.000 people all cheering on the champions of the world, Europe and England and when its not going right we shout even louder, at home when we were 2.0 down to Tottenham and things were not going well the crowd lifted the players and we ended up turning the match round and winning the game 5.2 the whole Premiership were shocked as most...
