Top 30 Best Affordable dining in Manchester

“Sai spice is near the tram stop, just a couple of mins walk from Barlow moor road. Enjoyed the food here, specially the oothapam, Egg fries rice and chicken fries rice. Naan and chicken butter masala were very good. Would enjoy coming back for the fries rice or oothapam. If you are seated in the waiting area, quick grab the massage chair. It feels awesome to relax in it for a few mins”

“On arrival we got given the menu as we waited for a table. When we got taken to our table the staff were quick at serving us and were very polite and had good knowledge of the local area as we were visiting.”

“I've stayed at this Premier Inn many times and I have to say, it's a very good spot. The location is great, with McDonald's just around the corner and Chinatown only a 5-minute walk away. Plus, every time we stay here we discover new parts of Manchester that we haven't seen before. It's at the quieter end of Manchester which is always a plus. The hotel is also very close to the train stop, so it's easy to get around. The rooms are clean and comfortable, and the staff are always friendly and helpful. The breakfast is also good, with a decent variety of options available. Overall, I highly recommend this Premier Inn. The location is great, it's at the quieter end of Manchester and it's easy to access other parts of the city. Plus the staff are friendly and the rooms are clean and comfortable”

“As you'd expect at any premier Inn, staff on check in were extremely jolly and helpful, everything was as we expected, excellent value for money. Simple check in/check out. Will stay again. Thanks”

“Paul was very kind and attentive on arrival. Smiles all round. Fast and efficient service. Cheers Paul x”

“I visited this store to use Key making machine. It was very easy & quick process to make duplicate keys. It was £7 for first key, £14 for two keys & 3rd key was free.”

“Amazing place for the whole family grab some food in the restaurant starting with meatballs and chips that are one of a kind. Through the maze of awesome products and in the end at the warehouse if you and your kids want to misbehave you can ride on top of the flatbed trolleys. In conclusion IKEA Manchester is the place to be for shopping and a way to have a nice day out.”

“Stayed here solo while on a two-day break, was fairly priced and also easy to get to and from the city centre on the tram. Also love the location right next to Heaton Park, started off one of my mornings with a walk around it. The room itself, like the hotel, wasn't exactly modern but it was still very comfortable and spacious so can't ask for much more! Staff were very friendly and helpful. Booked myself in for breakfast on my last morning, which was tasty. Really enjoyed my stay here, look forward to the next one!”

“Very convenient for the airport. Fantastic restaurant next door.”

“Great value for the money. On the keys near Old Trafford. Clean tidy rooms and friendly staff. Lovely Beefeater restaurant attached. £6 car parking. Pay at machine.”

“Had a lovely stay. Great location walking distance to Central Manchester. Breakfast is good, nice staff. Parking is expensive at Q Piazza. Free to park bays 8pm to 8am outside and other cheaper car parks around 10 mins walk”

“As soon as you enter the venue you are welcomed by a lovely relaxing smell which is throughout the building to the rooms. The staff greeted us and let us store our luggage until check in time. We came back after getting lunch at a spot around the corner, early check in was not available. The room was really big - we booked the standard room - and decor was 10/10. Really chic and industrial. Love that you have a fridge in your room and given nice water and coffee/tea selections. We did not dine in the restaurant unfortunately, however it looked and smelled great with a really chilled atmosphere. The only thing I could suggest to enhance our stay would be if there was a 2nd mirror in the room as it was a struggle for us both to get ready together. Also, the kettle was quite an odd choice for the rest of the room being so well decorated... it was just an old black plastic one (just a small point to make but it didn't effect our stay). Will be back. The location was perfectly handy for getting around the city. Right beside China Town and the Gay Village.”

“Exchanged numerous items which i got wrong for a anniversary gift and even though it was really busy was severed promptly. It's a excellent store and the prices are shown unlike some Pandora stores.”

“Absolutely lovely experience at the store!! The manager Diar is a very kind and polite member of staff and made the process alot easier and completed the link removal very fast. I have always come to this store for any issues with watches and repairs. I would definitely recommend the In Time Store for sure.”

“I work in trafford park and heard this place do takeaway breakfasts as well as all you can eat sit in. I have been twice now and both times been very impressed with the service. For £6.99 You get a tray to help yourself to the breakfast carvery which is all you would expect to compile your favourite full english. There is offer of a drink too for extra £1 but have not yet tried it as we have brew making facilities at work. If you are looking for a full english in trafford park, sit in or take away then you cant really go wrong. Friendly staff, very nice tasting and quality, warm fresh food. Thank you all”

“The hotel was amazing and new. The staff were very lovely and helpful throughout my stay. The location of the hotel was also good, had quite a few bars and restaurants within walking distance too. The hotel also had a lovely bar, which was great.”

“Excellent quality food and excellent service. This was our third stay at Premier Inn hearld Green Manchester. The beefeater restaurant has an great choice of dishes on the menu,we had the meal deal which includes two courses plus a alcoholic drink plus unlimited breakfast. The quality of food is excellent and staff are excellent hard working and polite. Thank you to all the staff but a special mention to Nicole you have such a lovely friendly personality and always smiling and hard working. Look forward to seeing you again in March.”

“Great rooms, decent size. Everything you need. Bathrooms are tired to be honest and the bathroom floor needs changed, it was old vinyl and bubbled causing it to raise in areas. The restaurant staff at dinner were extremely friendly and good service. The food was exceptional.”

“For a great brekky and brew, call in and see Chris at GB butty van.”

“Hot & Sour Soup... awesome. Dumplings... awesome. Singapore style vermicelli... awesome. An authentic Chinese restaurant with fantastic, helpful staff and delicious, affordable dishes. My noodles were spicy, fragrant and there was so so much. They have both an authentic Chinese style menu and an English style menu for more local variety. You will not be disappointed.”

“We bought our sofas there about a year ago. Had great customer service and would definitely recommend them! Great choice of sofas and delivery was really quick too!”

“Lovely reupholstery job done in black leather on my slider glider chair and footstool, good price, happy customer and will return.”

“From an experienced eye for vintage, antique, or retro, The VintageFurnitureCo has it all. The prices are set to sell. Anything your in the market for, you will be successful, or they will keep you in mind. I have purchased many items in the past, and frankly, they were perfect for me. I can say, I spent many hours there, until my relocation to the States. And I still miss it.”

“Department is a modern vintage home store situated at 477 Barlow Moor Road in Chorlton, Manchester M21 8AG. Selling an interesting and eclectic mix of mid century furniture, art, decorative accessories and clothing and lots more!”

“Fabulous family run business, very friendly team, with the best display of granite/Quartz that we had seen in a showroom. We love our granite table, perfect size and complements our new kitchen so well. Great communication regarding the customisation and the delivery. Would 100% recommend this business !”

“Stayed here for 1 night on 17.02.23 and I can genuinely say it’s the best travelodge I’ve stayed in. Very clean, breakfast was great and Big thank you to the Assistant Manager Abbie George for her professional, friendly and approachable customer service - especially considering we experienced a false fire alarm during the early hours which was dealt with and over very quickly. Great stay! Will come here again.”

“Overall, a good place to rest in Manchester. Despite the necessity of a new face and a general cleaning, the hotel offers comfortable beds, quiet rooms, and the staff there was very friendly! Moreover, the price was very affordable being an hotel near the city centre (5 min walking).”

“A lovely hotel that we visit often as it just 5 minutes from the Trafford Centre. Trams leave every 12 minutes into Manchester City Centre. The food next door at the Coach House Brewers fayre is lovely and the staff are very friendly and attentive. Plenty of car parking right outside the hotel”
