We had a weekend stay and it was very good! The hotel has a pub in the ground floor and they run several activities every weekend! Good option to meet new people. Note that this could mean some background noise very late at night, so if you are looking for a very quiet place to rest, this might not be for you. Our host Peter was very kind, attentive, and available to help us with anything we needed. The hotel is a short walking distance away from a bus station that can take you to the city centre; depending on your destination it could take you between 30-60min (it took us approximately 55min to Old Trafford Stadium). The hotel offers self-service breakfast and has shared toilets and showers in every floor. These areas were always clean which is a big plus!

Not an Oddfellow at all.
Great value for money. Peter was a great host and was also helpful prior to us arriving by offering a different room for our dogs who were also on our mini road trip.

Nice and cheap stay
We had a nice stay here. We picked it as it wasn't to far from where we were headed for the Manchester comic con, it was good enough for what we needed it for, bed was a bit soft but this is personal preference and we had okay sleep. Was loud on night but your above a pub so expected with territory, flashing lights outside window were distracting when getting to sleep. Chef was unavailable on Saturday morning which happens and he came and explained to us that night and offered a refund for that, which was very much appreciated and we thank you so much for this, i think the chef must have not been in sunday morning either but we had a portable hob and a few things left for us to fix our own in the breakfast area so this was okay. Emergencies are bound to happen so thanks for the explanation on Saturday evening. I'm sorry we didnt mention but i just would like to bring the owners attention to the photos on hotels.com, when i booked the images showed a double room with a tv in and a little seperate sink, im not sure whether this was a little mistake or overbooking of that room type etc but would just not want others to book and expect a tv etc in their room and then complain about it. Saying that we both were not overly bothered since the wifi was great and when we had a busy day we were able to watch some things using our phone. Unfortunately the bin had been missed in the room when we checked in but I understand things can get overlooked when your busy. Good overall, thankyou.

Worried about using the showers, as lots of black mould. The single toilet was clean, though. Spilled coffee/liquid on the floor outside our room door. Room dated and in need of decorating. Aerial for the tv was loose, so the tv kept going off. Rusty radiator. Coffee granules on the carpet, stuck to my feet. Dried up coffee. Dirty mugs. Blood and scratches on our van in the morning, after parking it in the side street! Bits in the bitter. Had to cook our own breakfast and no eggs available, so a full cooked breakfast ended up being bacon on toast. Still, you get what you pay for.

We would definitely stay again
Second time of staying at the Oddfellows Arms (M27). I really enjoyed the stay here, the first night myself and my girlfriend were in a dorm room. We easily fit onto a single bed which was surprisingly comfortable. The second night we stayed in a double room which are priced amazingly. The bed was comfortable, you could not hear anything from the dorms and the showers were always hot, which is a bonus at cheaper hotels. You have fresh bedding, towels, topped up teas and coffees everyday! Free parking nearby too! Well definitely be back. A massive thanks to Pete who is a great manager. - Josh & Beth
