Manchester is a thriving airport with flights leaving every day, taking passengers to destinations throughout the world. The airport is particularly busy during summer when more flights are added for those flying off to the sun.

Manchester Airport serves a large area with travellers from all over the country choosing to depart from it. This means that many have quite a journey to make when flying out. This can be an inconvenience if a flight leaves early in the morning. Getting up in the middle of the night and driving hundred of miles is not fun and is a difficult beginning to any holiday.

Staying near Manchester the night before you travel is the most suitable option for many with early flights. However, a large number of travellers don’t want to stay in cheap Manchester airport hotels but still do not want to spend a fortune on accommodation before they leave the country. Cheap Manchester airport hotels have a reputation for offering low quality accommodation and most guests would prefer a little bit of luxury the night before they fly.

The solution is serviced apartments in Manchester. These serviced apartments are fully furnished with everything guests need for a comfortable and relaxing place to stay. They provide a warm and inviting place to unwind and prepare before you begin your holiday abroad.

At Serviced City Pads, we have a selection of luxury serviced apartments in Manchester. Our apartments are available for parties of different sizes and for a range of budgets too.

Manchester is a large and popular city with much to offer including theatre breaks, shopping centres and a thriving business centre. When visiting Manchester, particularly if you are going to a concert or to see a show it makes sense to stay for one or two nights. Usually, the first choice for many is the abundance of cheap Manchester airport hotels available, but these can sometimes be restrictive – especially if you are travelling as a family.

Hotels normally accommodate an average family of four in either one or two rooms because of space restrictions. Booking two rooms can work out to be a very expensive option, and if you have young children is not a secure option so the parents end up staying in separate rooms with a child each. At Serviced City Pads we have apartments that are fully serviced in Manchester and can accommodate a family comfortably. You will save money by using this option and you can all stay in the same apartment, unlike cheap Manchester airport hotels which can be restrictive.

For anyone travelling on a business trip, cheap Manchester airport hotels can actually work out to be quite expensive as you have to dine out, which can be costly. If you have to entertain business clients it gives a professional air if you are staying in a serviced apartment with all the facilities of home and the office available. You can dine in comfort and style without the extra cost and the noise of a restaurant. Serviced apartments in Manchester offer value and style to anyone travelling to Manchester.

Choosing the right hotel requires you to think carefully about what you’re looking for. So, to help you find the best options, here are just a few things you need to look for in hotels near Manchester airport.

•    Location. The location is incredibly important, as if you don’t have transport of your own you’re going to need the convenience of a great location to make getting to and from the airport as easy as possible. There are many serviced apartments in Manchester near to the airport.

•    Transport links. Similar to the above point, but choosing a hotel that has great transport links is a bonus. A lot of hotels near Manchester airport offer complementary shuttle services to and from the airport itself, so always look for hotels that can offer this.

•    The space, luxury and comfort that you’re looking for. If you want top-quality rooms that offer all the space and comfort needed then make sure to check that your potential hotel can offer it.

•    Great prices. Price is going to be one of the most important considerations, as too many of us these days are confined to strict budgets. However, hotels near the airport aren’t always as expensive as those in the centre of town, and you’ll normally be able to find great rates.

These are just a few things that you need to look for in hotels near Manchester airport. But, if hotels aren’t for you, why not consider renting a serviced apartment in Manchester instead? Here at Serviced City Pads we offer a great selection of accommodation options to suit all preferences and budgets, and you could find that they’re just what you’re looking for.

If you need to put staff up in Manchester, hotels may seem the obvious choice, and they may be fine for a few nights, but they are not the only option for corporate accommodation in Manchester.

Especially for companies who need accommodation for longer periods, serviced apartments offer a genuinely cost-effective alternative to hotels. Serviced apartments are the perfect ‘half-way house’ between self-catering and hotel accommodation, offering a clean, safe and fully-furnished place to stay in a ‘home from home’ environment.

Service apartments offer many of the comforts of a hotel, including, for example, fresh bed linen and maid service. Equally, having a fully-equipped kitchen means your staff can self-cater. Not only does this save on restaurant bills, but gives extra flexibility. Your employees won’t be restricted to hotel dining times, for example if a meeting over-runs.

A hotel room isn’t always the most appropriate place to hold a business meeting. But with a serviced apartment, your staff will have plenty of space to host meetings, and be well-placed to offer clients food and drink as necessary.

At Serviced City Pads, we have apartments at rates which put hotels in the shade and offer corporate accommodation across Manchester. One of the best things about what we offer is flexibility in terms of convenient locations to suit you and where you need to be in Manchester. We have apartments near the MEN Arena, Deansgate station and other city centre locations. Or how about a two bedroom penthouse in the city’s fashionable Northern Quarter?
