Movement for Reform Judaism Reviews

Customer service was very good, they do what they can with what they have!
After checking in and given a room on the 1st floor it seemed pleasant at first until I sat on the bed and nearly fell through, when I lifted the bed on the metal frame slatt bed I noticed it was missing 2 slats which caused a massive gap.
After ringing reception and asking for a different room they advised that they would come and inspect what I had found with the bed!

Room seemed OK, clean tidy, small, much improved bed compared to the 1st room!
Before heading out for dinner I advised that the air con unit sounded like it was going to explode and was reading a fault code on the display, I was told that it would be reset and be okay by the time I retire to bed!
This was not the case, no heating or air con all night, room was so cold!

Hotel is 5 minute taxi drive from Manchester Piccadilly train station. On arrival staff very helpful. Room id spotless and very trendy with tea and coffee facilities and stocked mini bar.

Excellent stay here. We stayed overnight after going to the Bridgewater Hall. Staff were very helpful, letting us into our room before lunch as it was ready

Really nice place with a great mix of classic and modern hotel influences

I had my work Christmas do here. Our suite(s) were amazing and we were served drinks and canapes all night. There was even a 'chill out' room with bean bags, sweets and a popcorn machine

I took my mum and daughter for afternoon tea in September. We had a lovely, lovely waiter, thankfully. It was his first day, but he was a star and the only reason I gave the 2nd star rating and didn't complain there and then. Worst food I've had in a while for ANY price. Gluten free bread was as dry as sandpaper; the food technology has moved on for alternative diets... clearly not at the Midland, its 15 years out of step and the bread tasted as if it had been in the freezer for that amount of time as did the beef between it. Another senior member of staff was clearly irritated that I had the temerity to ask her about cream ! If you're going for the decor and historic ambience of the 'acclaimed' Midland, then the tea room is mediocre at very best. An expensive disappointment.

Just like to go for a drink and chill out in the octogan lounge. Pianist on sat and sun evening. Also Mr coopers restaurant can't be faulted. The octogan bar has been renovated and it looks cheap and nasty. Not a good look

I have attended a number of functions at this hotel in the Alexandra Suite. On each occasion I've been pleasantly surprised to see the transformation of the room to suit the theme of each event, from a dramatic black and white themed decor with candle-lit centre pieces to a warmer set up with coloured lights.
This suite has a separate entrance which is always handy especially if the hotel is busy with other guests at the same time.

I've also had a chance to spend some time in the Stanley Suite which is also a really nice space for an event.

Nice hotel in the centre of Manchester. Staff was very friendly and made me feel welcome.

Generally I don't like Classic-style hotels but the Midland embraces the old and sells it with a modern twist. I stayed overnight during the weekend. The room was clean. The view on the square was nice but did give quite a lot of noice from outside throughout the night. (Perhaps because of the weekend) I was very happy to have brought my earplugs with me. If you like a quite room, ask for a room that is not located on the side of the square.

Breakfast was delicious, plenty of choice and again, friendly staff. The only thing missing is fresh orange juice. That would have made it perfect for me :-)

This is my favourite hotel..gutted they never informed me on the hotels refurbishment..will most definitely be returning

Good hotel but AC not cold always problem
Furniture very old
It s like a 3* hotel not 4
Good location

I Was given a card key for my room located on the 2nd floor went to the room and card did not not work, went downstairs to the reception and the card was scanned and then went back upstairs to try it and it did not work again had to go downstairs for the second time and now the lady came with me to the room she tried it and said oh it s not working and we will have to take you to another room on the same floor. It was quite a walk and found this quite poor service.
The room was very standard and very old carpets very dirty and shoddy floor boards. Never again will I ever stay here again. The cent in the air in the lobby smells beautiful and Mr coppers and the French is amazing but that s it.
I should of been upgraded to a bigger room or something for all messing about I did not need this stress as I ve have just flown in from Saudi on a 7hr flight.

Lovely afternoon tea, their private blends are gorgeous

Lovely attentive service, the atmosphere is great too.

Attended the Mid Communication award evening, Food was top quality and the night was awesomme. Staff were very curtious and helpful. Very enjoyable experience

Great staff, room was clean and tidy. Bed was super comfy and the breakfast was really good

Went to the Midland Hotel for a Congress dinner. The setting was beautiful, the staff were incredibly friendly and the food was absolutely amazing! It is a brilliant place and I would love to stay there one day!

Very disappointed on arrival to be told the rooms werent ready and knowing we were there for lunch and a Spa treatment we thought they would be ready or at least a room to chang into. We had to keep the clothes on we arrived in and they put More

Very clean and good quality rooms, friendly and helpful staff. Great accessibility

Nice quiet atmosphere, service is excellent. Afternoon tea with champagne is well worth the trip, they even wrote a happy birthday message on a plate and added some chocolate sweets.

Beautiful hotel but would appreciate some sort of refurbishment. Love that it is a hotel and building with history but i can almost smell the history from its carpets and drapes.

Nice enough.. Didn't blow me away. Does what is says on the tin!

Great hotel, nice staff, great breakfast, comfortable spacious twin bed room (not cheap though)

I visited the Midland for a reservation in the Tea Room. The hotel and tea room were both gorgeous, the service was prompt and elegant, and overall it was a lovely experience. I will definitely return the next time I m in Manchester!

Visited Manchester for first time due official work and was not sure how the hotel will turn out.
The Midland is wonderful hotel with very good history. It is very close to Piccadilly. There is a free shuttle bus service in Manchester upto 10pm on working days and 6pm on weekends, which was very good. The hotel is located closely to lots of restaurants and near by shopping complexes. Unfortunately due to conference timings, I was not able to use restaurant but menu was looking good. I will definitely stay here again and sure will have opportunity to try restaurant then.

Nice prestigious hotel maybe the nicest in Manchester easy to get to and near a lot of interesting Manchester places .

Nice, historic hotel. We stayed in a superior room which was a good size and comfortable but with no view. There was some noise from outside; trams and football fans but not surprising being right in the city centre. A short queue for breakfast and our server was not the most attentive, but a very good choice of high quality food and very nice coffee
The spa offers a good range of treatments and the relaxation room is fantastic but the pool and steam rooms are small

I think this is a great landmark and has old design

Great, character filled Hotel in the heart of Manchester!

Great style and accommodation, wifi did not work and they did not reimburse us for it though

Good location, posh spacious interior. Food provided was of a good quality

Very nice. Had a well deserved rest after a long journey and it really did the trick. Elegant, comfy, cozy and welcoming.

Really comfy night but service not up to scratch. With social distancing and extensive renovation going on should of waited to reopen.

Absolutely beautiful hotel. Rooms were much bigger than anticipated and the staff were very lovely upon arrival. The spa and pool services also excellent.

We stayed here a few days ago and we found the hotel very relaxing compared to all others in Manchester. The rooms are really cozy and I found myself glued to the bed the following morning because it was just so comfortable! I loved the overall ambiance of the hotel too.

The conditions of this old hotel is bad eg. Room door and window can be open from outside, serious security breach.

An aging greatness that is a bit shabby in a lot oif places. Surely none can deny that it was a great hoitel, but it is no longer a first rate one. We found spots in our tea cups; happy but not terribly helpful staff, and just a general slackening of effort. This might have been acceptable if all the fees weren't set at a very first rate schedule.

Beautiful hotel, food was lovely! The bedroom was lovely, bed was 6ft wide and very comfortable. I edited my review upon reading others and have added photos of my room. I honestly couldn't say a bad word about the room, food or staff! We will definitely be back!

Had very good experience.
Nice rooms, good location and friendly staff.

Great event space and nice grand interior. Enjoyed my cocktail in the foyer.

old fashioned, properly trained, very friendly staff

Excellent afternoon tea. Very varied in their choice of cakes and sandwiches. Loved it very much!

I went to the hairdressers there on a voucher.19 pounds.wash condition cut and dry.nice place .I felt comfortable and everything with hair came out right.

Excellent conference venue, but rooms are a little dated.

Perfectly located in the heart of Manchester, great access to bars and restaurants.

The large and open lobby area is classy but not stuffy, the rooms themselves are well equipped with all the normal extras you'd expect to find. It's going for the more "old opulance" style of older classy hotels and they've done it well.

The food was great, the function room very spacious and all the staff were extremely helpful. All in all a great stay!

Room was slightly small but the staff and food was excellent thank you

Best hotel in Manchester beautiful inside. Staff of the highest standard. Not cheap. Food good and served to perfection

Drinks were nice, bar service was slow and disappointing

Fancy and spacious hotel that is great for hosting events.

I had room 246. It was huge! The service was excellent, food was good with plenty of variety. Friendly staff, spa is great, lots of guests usig the spa. For Manchester I was impressed! Definitely would go back. Only downer, if you have a car, there is no discount for hotel guests in any car park.

There for graduation prep. Lots of stairs to walk in heels. But great space, lovely decor and not awful to navigate when signposted

Wonderful stay excellent food and the staff 1st class. It's my favourite place to stay in Manchester

I was treated to an afternoon tea at the Midland. It was a beautiful sunny day & therefore the views were breathtaking!
The conservatory style room we dined in was a perfect room to dine in & admire the coastal views.
Unfortunately the food wasn t as impressive!

Even the Cakes & scones very average & unexciting.
I was lucky enough to experience the Low Wood spa the same weekend & their complementary cakes were delicious!

Beautiful hotel and lovely room - great price and had a fantastic base for my hen do!

Fabulous environment afternoon tea ridiculously over priced

Entrance hall and staff were all very attentive and friend and helpful. Location is excellent too. But for the price? It her isn't worth it. Stayed in a Superior Room which, although it was huge, was dusty on the walls and ceiling and had the smallest double bed I've ever seen. It was, at best, an enlarged single. Horrendous for two people. Don't understand the bed options in such a huge room. Wasn't even comfortable. I'd recommend a cheaper alternative anyday

Very smart. Nice food and friendly staff. Wish i could have had a shoulder massa3 in the spa.

Superior and very smart place to have coffee, high tea or stay. Service impeccable.

I was at a special invitation to an award ceremony. It was an afternoon tea. It was ok because it was a large group of people with speaker and presentation of awards, so probably not a true reflection of afternoon tea at The Midland

Not good to deliver when the table won't fit in the lift.

Great value for money. Lovely quiet room with a huge spacious bed and ample room. Large bathroom. Fridge in room with complimentary water and great facilities.
Breakfast was included in the price of the room and was outstanding couldn't fault the service or quality of food. Excellent range and even catered for vegetarians.

Nice hotel. Rooms a little dated and in need of a jazzing up.
