This listing isn't a gym. Google categorizes it as a hotel, and every one of its five written reviews describes a hotel stay - rooms, breakfast, reception, spa and pool bookings - at a historic Manchester hotel with 4.4 from 5,762 total ratings reflecting hospitality experiences, not fitness activity.

A Historic Building, Described in Detail

Michelle's review focuses on the hotel's history and reception experience: "A wonderful stay at the Midland Hotel in Manchester. This magnificent building, dating back to 1903, is steeped in history and elegance. It's fascinating to know that it was the meeting place of Charles Rolls and Henry Royce, leading to the creation of Rolls-Royce. From the moment I arrived, I was warmly greeted by the concierge... There were plenty of staff at reception, all of whom acknowledged guests as they arrived." That's a specific historical detail - the hotel's connection to the founding of Rolls-Royce - alongside praise for reception staff, both unrelated to any fitness offering.

A Balanced Account of Room Quality

V M's review describes a mixed experience with the room itself: "I loved the outside and reception area which was well decorated and maintained. Had my breakfast which had decent options... The room though was smaller than other hotels I used to stay in Manchester. I was feeling cold despite me keeping the heating at maximum. So I had to ask for a portable heater which worked well." Specific complaints about room size and heating, resolved by a portable heater, are hotel-stay details with no relevance to fitness.

A Confirmed Spa and Pool, With Booking Limitations

Iain Fisher's review is the only one to mention wellness amenities directly, and even then in a hotel-booking context: "Only surprise was the spa & pool which you had to book and could only use for 1hr. We were able to book in, but availability filled up quickly." Even this detail is about hotel guest amenity booking rather than an independent fitness facility - worth noting if you're specifically searching for a gym or pool with open access rather than a limited, reservation-only hotel amenity.

Personal Service, Named Directly

Julia Pryor's review credits a specific staff member: "What really made our stay special was the wonderful staff - especially Julian. He was so warm, kind and attentive, and made us feel genuinely cared for." David's review adds a specific, minor complaint about bedding mismatched to a room upgrade, unrelated to any fitness question.

Why This Matters If You're Looking for a Gym

If you found this page searching for somewhere to train, none of it applies. Every one of the five reviews describes a hotel stay - rooms, breakfast, reception service, and a reservation-only spa and pool for guests. This is a historic hotel, not an independently accessible fitness venue.

What's Missing

Nothing here answers a fitness question, because none of the five reviewers are describing a fitness venue. No pricing is stated for rooms or the spa and pool booking.

Who It's Not For

Anyone looking for a gym. Anyone hoping for open, unrestricted access to a pool or fitness facility, since the one wellness amenity mentioned is reservation-only and limited to one hour for hotel guests.

A fantastic hotel in a great location. Absolutely stunning. Ceilings are high and rooms are large and clean. We upgraded to a super king bed but the only problem was that the quilt was only for a king. It was in a super king cover but it was smaller than the cover. It was obviously put on in error. I didn't affect our sleep though, it was quiet and the bed was really comfortable.

A wonderful stay at the Midland Hotel in Manchester. This magnificent building, dating back to 1903, is steeped in history and elegance. It's fascinating to know that it was the meeting place of Charles Rolls and Henry Royce, leading to the creation of Rolls-Royce. From the moment I arrived, I was warmly greeted by the concierge, setting the tone for an excellent stay. There were plenty of staff at reception, all of whom acknowledged guests as they arrived and ensured nobody was left waiting without recognition. The service throughout the hotel was exceptional, with friendly, professional, and genuinely helpful staff always on hand. The grand entrance makes a fantastic first impression, and the beautiful floral aroma that greets you as you enter adds to the sense of luxury. The hotel is impeccably clean and well maintained throughout, with thoughtful touches such as complimentary bottled water. The stunning circular bar in the foyer is a real highlight, offering a sophisticated setting to relax with a drink or enjoy a meal. The bedrooms are spacious, cosy, and exceptionally clean. The décor is elegant yet understated, perfectly complementing the hotel's historic character and charm. The hotel also features a spa which, while relatively small, is comfortable, cosy, and well maintained. Facilities include a steam room, a compact sauna, and a swimming pool with neck and shoulder massage fountains, making it an ideal place to unwind after a busy day. A truly elegant hotel that successfully combines rich heritage with modern comfort and outstanding service. I would happily stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Manchester.

We had a truly lovely one-night stay at The Midland. From the moment we arrived, everything felt welcoming and relaxed. The hotel itself is beautiful, but what really made our stay special was the wonderful staff — especially Julian. He was so warm, kind and attentive, and made us feel genuinely cared for. It’s those little personal touches that make all the difference. We left feeling very happy and would absolutely love to return

Only surprise was the spa & pool which you had to book and could only my use for 1hr. We were able to book in, but availability filled up quickly. Overall it was a good stay and would come here again.

I loved the outside and reception area which was well decorated and maintained. Had my breakfast which had decent options and the area was lovely atmosphere. The room though was smaller than other hotels I used to stay in Manchester. I was feeling cold despite me keeping the heating at maximum. So I had to ask for portable heater which worked well. The room itself had a cupboard, mini fridge, complimentary water,tea, coffee,biscuits which was handy. Window view had some broken glass piece and unwanted stuff in that small area which was unpleasant. Would have been nice if that area was maintained well [picture attached] Finally they reception staff who checked me in was very nice. But I registered to their loyalty club and provided the staff with that number so that I can start collecting points for my current and future visits. As the staff who was checking me in could not add my club card number he asked his senior for assistance. The senior who came seemed unpleasant as I heard him saying to the checking in staff,just add the clubcard number, but anyway she won't get points due to her type of booking. If that was the case, it would have been more polite if the senistaff directly mentioned it to me with explanation as I don't know why I wouldn't earn points for my staff. Decided not to make any future bookings at this place.
