About
Premier Inn Manchester Salford Quays
Premier Inn Manchester Salford Quays sits right on the waterfront in Salford Quays, about a 5-minute walk from South Bay. With 23 rooms, it’s a compact, focused hotel that puts you close to the action — MediaCityUK Business Park is just a short trip away, and the tram stop nearby makes getting into Manchester city centre straightforward.
The hotel keeps things simple: free internet access, wheelchair access, and a non-smoking policy throughout. The adjoining Beefeater pub adds a social edge, with a beer garden that looks out over the canal — a spot guests repeatedly mention for a relaxed drink after a day out.

Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Limited room count means a more intimate stay — With only 23 rooms, the hotel may feel less anonymous, but availability could be tighter during peak periods — plan ahead if you’re booking last minute.
- Check-in window is late afternoon onwards — Check-in runs from 16:00 to 23:59, so if you arrive earlier, you’ll need to hold onto your bags or plan your day around it.
- Breakfast quality can vary — While several guests loved it, one review rated the breakfast lower relative to their overall experience, suggesting it might not always hit the mark.

8.2Verified guest“Great value for money, with prices that stay reasonable. The double-glazed soundproofing in the rooms made for a peaceful night’s sleep — a detail that really stood out. The canal-side location is perfect, and the adjoining Beefeater’s beer garden overlooking the water is a lovely place to unwind. Easy walking distance to the main sights, ideal for football fans or those hopping on trams into the city. Staff were excellent, and all the basics were covered.”
8.2Verified guest“Friendly staff and clean rooms — two things that matter. The location suited our city break well, close to public transport and attractions. Breakfast was surprisingly good, with a decent range of choices.”
8.2Verified guest“Set right on the canals, it’s a picturesque spot. The pub next door with its beer garden over the canal is great for a drink. The hotel sits in a quiet area yet is within easy reach of the main attractions on foot. Staff were friendly and helpful. Rooms on the 2nd floor have a nice view of the water and come with air conditioning — a real bonus. Disabled access is also available for those who need it.”
8.2Verified guest“The location is spot on. Right on the waterfront with lovely views of the ship canal, and within easy walking distance of the key sights. For football fans, the beer garden overlooking the canal is a handy spot for a pre- or post-match drink.”
8.2Verified guest“The hotel is right by the tram stop, making trips into Manchester city centre quick and simple. It’s also close to the Lowry outlet and Lowry Theatre, so there’s plenty to do. Being on the canal at the regenerated Quays gives it a scenic feel. Rooms were lovely, quiet, and comfortable — I slept well. Staff were warm and welcoming, breakfast had plenty of choice, and having on-site parking was a plus.”
