The Cow Hollow Hotel, Manchester

The hotel was finished to a high standard. The staff were really welcoming and knowledgeable about the area.

The standard room is very small the bed fits in with just enough room to walk either side. I certainly wouldn’t have paid £159 for the room but we fell lucky and got it at a reduced price £89. The breakfast was a nice touch served in the room. I think different welcome drink could be offered instead of prosecco but that’s personal choice. The coffee machine at the end of the hall was noisy and could be heard in our room. With the standard rooms being down stairs there was a slight smell of damp as you came downstairs.

Beautiful hotel. Amazing bed so comfortable I wanted to take it home. Lovely staff, special touches like making a hot drink with cookies when we came in late and helping with our luggage. Everything you want and great location.

Nothing.

Absolutely evertthing! Amazing stylish unique city hotel! Personal touches! Welcoming Prosecco and nibbles! Cookies and milk/hot chocolate before bed. Breakfast delivered to your room! Comfortable bed, gorgeous decor and the lovliest staff. We loved it the first time and knew we had to go back. 💕

Could not think of one single thing! ⭐️🌟🌟🌟🌟

room breakfast aesthetics

Not enough storage

Comfort, aesthetic

Cool boutique décor (a mix of industrial and colonial) The friendly staff - amazing customer service A glass prosecco after a day out and then hot drinks/ cookies before bed, a small breakfast delivered to room was a nice touch Bedding quality Location was super and convenient - not far at all for most of central Manchester (IMO), not just the Northern Quarter

Nothing negative - had a good positive experience all round. The room may be small but it didn't bother me - the heat, mattress and bedding quality meant a comfortable stay. Thank you.

For the money you cannot complain

Tiny room could barely find place for 2 bags

Excellent hotel, fantastic attention to detail. What a 'boutique' hotel should be like.

staff was superb.

only thing i could knock would be the shower, it was clean but the power of the water coming out of the showhead was low.

Everything that was required.

Just a little on the small side, badly placed step coming from bathroom.

Lovely customer service from all the staff. Very clean room and super comfy bed. Hotel is in a quiet area of the northern quarter, a short walk to all the shops and bars etc. The breakfast was lovely. The shower products were very nice.

No closet space but to be fair I’d read the reviews so I knew this. I was there only one night so the hangers provided on the back of the door were sufficient. A light over or around the bathroom mirror would be a great addition as the ambient lighting in there wasn’t enough to do makeup etc.

My room (#16) was stylish, quirky and comfortable and the breakfast tray was great. Really good location, friendly staff and nice coffee.

I didn't mind the stairs to the top floor as I only have a small suitcase, but could be awkward with large or heavy bags (also not much space in the room to store a large bag). There was a sign explaining that the low flow water pressure in the shower was an environmental choice, which sounds good in theory, but it meant there was no way I could have washed my hair as it would have taken absolutely ages - not ideal. Also the shower was freezing initially and took a long time to warm up. Bathroom very small with nowhere really to put anything.

Very well located and quiet at night Nice breakfast and untapped tea & coffee

The room had quite low level lighting and difficult to do make up without a stronger light. Also no desk/chair to work at a laptop

Really lovely staff who can't do enough for you, Incredible service. Very comfortable room, nice quiet night's stay, lots of lovely little extras, I felt so spoiled.

Rooms are quite compact with very little storage. Well equipped for the size and it was fine for me on my own.

Lovely staff and hot chocolate

Very small portions for breakfast

The boutique style, the warmth of the staff and the location

My only issue were the bathroom doors were a hinderance opening into a small bathroom and cutting off the toilet and shower and, the low water pressure.

Excellent staff, beautiful vibe and it smelled really nice!

Nothing.

Lovely quirky building. Close to the centre. Perfect for a night in the city.

The rooms and bathrooms were very small but manageable.

The milk and cookies at 10 pm

It’s a really attractive place, the way they have incorporated the features of the original building and turned it into a modern hotel is fabulous. The staff are excellent too.

The lack of space in the bathroom and low water pressure (explained as a result of sustainability efforts) of the shower.

Just gorgeous, lovely staff and proper boutique feel

Ideally a wardrobe or hanging space

Really lovely hotel. It was in a great location for us, close to the train station. The staff were really helpful and there were some good extras. There was even a hair straightener in the bathroom.

The room was quite small. But big enough for what we wanted.

Lovely, compact, well decorated and very comparable bed! Staff all lovely, responsive and on hand when needed! The property is well located to all amenities in the city.

Only downside, and very minor was no wardrobe in the room we stayed. Coat hangers provided but a wardrobe would have allowed us to unpack a bit more.

Like its location and decor, great staff and the hotel has a very cool vibe. Had a great nights sleep in a very comfortable bed

Rooms are a tad on the small side but very comfortable but I knew that before I booked as I’ve stayed before.

Everything exceeded our expectations

There wasn’t anything not to like

Thoughtful extras

It was a bit dark

Great value great location

Everything was fine

Quirky hotel in great location for the Northern Quarter

Staff were very helpful and liked the building! Room was slightly smaller than expect for a king size

Lots of complimentary amenities, the staff were very accommodating and helpful in every way! The breakfast in the room was lovely, we really enjoyed the Prosecco and nibbles before we went out for dinner, the atmosphere is calm, relaxing. To do your hair they provided a hairdryer, straightener and a curler which is so unusual to see in any hotel!! It was so useful.

The lighting in the bathroom was not very bright so it made it very hard to get ready in the evening. There is no space to keep your bags in the small room, however if you are there for 1/2 days it is okay.

Great style. Good location and very comfortable.

Loved the decor, the complimentary drink and room service. Also the bed was very comfortable. The bar served excellent cocktails.

Great stay very comfortable and everything you need. Staff very friendly and always there to help. Breakfast to your room at what time suits you great little touch.

The property was very cozy, nicely decorated and warm. The staff were very accommodating and provided us with lots of information about our stay

Not accessible for disabled people as there is no lift and lots of stairs

We were upgraded which as a lovely surprise. Breakfast was served in the room and was very tasty.

Nothing

Very nice little hotel staff were really friendly and very accomodating, the breakfast was lovely, loved that they serve it to you in your room,.room was small but we only stayed a night so was perfect for our needs, we.really enjoyed our stay ❤️

Nithing our stay was lovely

So amazing for. Couple to spend time. The milk and cookies and breakfast was amazing.

Everything

No complaints

This property was lovely, just a bit small. The staff could not do enough for you, I would definitely stay again.

Not sure about breakfast in bed given rooms are small. It was very nice but eating at a table would have been even better.

Lovely all round. Staff were very welcoming and helpful, loved the complimentary drinks and snacks too! Very good value for money, would highly recommend!

9min walk from Piccadilly Station. The hotel has lots of nice little extra touches making it stand out to most hotels.

Just one negative - we didn't have any bath robes during our stay.

We dropped our bags off early, the staff were very very professional, made us a complimentary drink before we set off. The hotel is quirky, everything was beautifully laid out and the room was gorgeous, the staff were the real star of the hotel though, could not do enough to make our stay wonderful. Comfy bed, great shower and the breakfast was amazing.

There was not one part of our stay I would change.

everything was beautiful

loved everything

Amazing location. Lovely, helpful staff. Really cute breakfast in bed.

Our room was quite small. This is only a small dislike as it was beautifully decorated.

Milk and cookies were gorgeous. Staff were lovely and helpful. Room was nice. Good prices at the bar. Great location. Breakfast was lovely. Amazing stay ☺️

The rooms were beautiful but small. Great if you have small bags but difficult with international sized luggage.

Staff on reception and bar were great. Very friendly and welcoming, nothing was too much trouble. Thanks!

We have stayed a couple of times now and each time is extremely pleasant. The hosts are always happy to help and available for anything. The rooms are decorated very tastefully and beds comfortable. Breakfast is an added bonus and a lovely touch. It comes to the room at a time of your choice. Central location in Manchester.

How cosey it was bed were very comfortable

None everything was perfect

Breakfast was included and amazing. We loved everything about our stay and can't wait to stay again. Amazing details and attentive staff. Cannot fault

Nish

The property was decorated to a high standard. The staff were amazing and the little touches like free prosecco, free milk and cookies and slippers made our stay even more memorable 😊

There wasn’t anything that I disliked about the property.
