Ibis Budget Manchester Salford Quays is often chosen for its convenient location, particularly for those taking the PLAB 2 exam, with easy access to bus stops and trams right across the street for getting into the city centre. Guests find it offers good value, with clean, modern rooms; plus, essential amenities are nearby, including McDonald's, Greggs and a supermarket.

a restful haven near the quays

effortless access clean room cozy bed
the tram stop near the hotel provided effortless city access i appreciated the clean room and the powerful shower offered a refreshing experience. a cozy bed ensured a good night's sleep especially helpful after a long day.
the television in my room was quite small it felt a bit outdated compared to the other amenities the size affected my viewing experience although i appreciate the effort.

the location proved convenient, especially with shops and food options nearby.
The room disappointed me. It seemed ventilation was lacking, and the window remained consistently damp. the ventilation system in the bathroom seemed dysfunctional too.

poor shower plastic cup
The staff were helpful when the door lock in my initial room didn't work. They gave me a different room immediately.
The room was quite underwhelming. There were no drink-making facilities, only one plastic cup was available near the sink. The shower barely worked. the floor got soaked since there isn't a separate bathroom, apply.
