Reasonably priced hotel for a layover in Sale for family of 4. Staff were very friendly, continental breakfast was included ....new nespresso machine and generous spread of food. The hotel is a bit dated, but everything was reasonably clean. I will stay here again.

Clean, quiet and comfortable motel. A little bit dated in terms of the fittings, but plenty of power outlets for charging things, and good wifi speeds. Breakfast was basic (cereals, toast, juice, tea and coffee), but plentiful and a clean and spacious room to have it in. We were happy with the experience.

Really impressed with the accommodation. The Matador has been part of Sale for many years and the current owners are providing a high standard. It’s clean, comfortable and very convenient to the theatre and great eating venues. Staff couldn’t have been nicer and the complimentary breakfast was excellent.
