Holiday Inn – the niu, Loom Manchester North, an IHG Hotel Overview

First Impressions

Walking into Holiday Inn – the niu, Loom Manchester North, an IHG Hotel, you immediately notice this isn’t your typical corporate chain property. The lobby has this fresh, modern vibe that feels more like a boutique hotel than what you’d expect from a three-star place. There’s something about the design — clean lines, pops of color, and that new-hotel smell — that makes you think they’ve really put thought into creating something different here in Manchester’s northern district.

Location & Getting Around

Here’s what I love about this spot on Irish Town Way — you’re actually well-positioned without being stuck in the chaos of the city center. The location works particularly well for couples, which honestly makes sense when you experience it. You’ve got easy access to Manchester’s main attractions, but you’re not dealing with the noise and crowds right outside your window. The transport links are solid, and I found getting into the heart of Manchester pretty straightforward. It’s one of those locations where you feel connected but not overwhelmed, you know?

The Room Experience

The rooms follow that same modern aesthetic from the lobby, and they’ve clearly thought about what travelers actually need. Everything feels fresh and well-designed — not fancy, but definitely comfortable and functional. The beds are properly comfortable (which, let’s be honest, is what really matters after a day of exploring Manchester), and there’s enough space to spread out without feeling cramped. What struck me was how they’ve managed to make a standard hotel room feel a bit special without going overboard on the design elements.

Practical Perks

You know what actually impressed me? The little things that make a stay smoother. The WiFi works properly throughout the property, the staff seem genuinely helpful rather than just going through the motions, and the whole place has this efficient-but-friendly atmosphere. There’s a bar area that’s perfect for unwinding after a day out, and honestly, it’s become one of those places where guests tend to linger rather than just pass through. The breakfast setup is straightforward but well-executed — nothing revolutionary, but it gets the job done and starts your day right.

Why Guests Love It

I think this hotel hits that sweet spot where you’re getting more than you’d expect for a three-star property, especially in terms of design and location. Recent guests consistently mention the location as a highlight, and after staying here, I get why — it’s that perfect balance of accessibility and tranquility. Couples seem to particularly appreciate the atmosphere and the fact that you can easily explore Manchester while having a peaceful base to return to. It’s not trying to be something it’s not, but what it does offer feels genuine and well-thought-out. For the price point and the experience you get, Holiday Inn – the niu, Loom Manchester North delivers on creating something that feels both contemporary and comfortable.

Manchester’s apartments welcome families with community gardens, cinema rooms, and easy Metrolink rides.
