The Cow Hollow Hotel, Manchester

Breakfast was ok. Husband did not enjoy the folded eggs!

Better eggs!

The staff were very friendly, the hotel was small but cute. Good location, would stay here again.

Great location, nice aesthetic, really friendly staff.

Breakfast options limited with no dietary options provided.

Really lovely property, staff were extremely lovely and the bed was super comfy

Friendly check in, lovely bonus perks like prosecco and milk and cookie. The bed was absolutely divine, would love to know the make or the pillows and mattress

It was a little bit too dark to be able to get ready, and the room was too warm (we turned off the radiator but it took a while to cool the room down)

Quiet property in the northern quarter. It offered breakfast in our room and Prosecco and nibbles in the evening

Room was in the basement and very small. No ventilation in the bathroom

Quirky and stylish!

oh my god this place is amazing! i was upset when i my boyfriend recommended it when i was stranded in manchester because it wasn’t close to the airport (it’s downtown and a short walk to Picadilly), so i had to pay the taxi fee to get there and back - but honestly i have spent over $300 for hotels with less charm and amenities than this place! First off, it looks like a hole in the wall but it is BEAUTIFUL- second off they handed me a complimentary glass of prosecco when i stepped in, delivered cookies and milk in the evening to my room (who does that??), delivers EXCELLENT breakfast to the room in the morning (no extra charge for breakfast or delivery!), has ear plugs and slippers, and had a fantastic list of recommended restaurants. Like, this is better than other 5 star hotels i’ve been at - and it was a third of the price??? Dude… The room was a little small (so be aware if you’re used to huge rooms), but seriously it was absolutely perfect. Turned my travel hell into heaven and was the little paradise I needed.

Such a lovely little place. All the staff were friendly and couldn't do enough. So many thoughtful little extras. The room was small but perfect. Do much thought has gone into every element! Literally cannot find a single fault!

Lovely and clean - staff really helpful and welcoming

Quite hard to locate - quite small rooms - bit of noise from outside and other rooms above

An amazing staff that went above and beyond. The room and the hotel is not a stale and standard big brand hotel - it is really cozy, and unique. We were really impressed and loved the vibe. They had lots of extra perks like good room service, amenities and cocktails. We will for sure be staying again!

The service was excellent- the staff couldn't do enough for us. The little extras, like the complimentary prosecco and nibbles was a lovely touch. The hotel is gorgeous and a perfect central location.

The room was slightly noisy and small, but that was expected.

Lovely staff Brilliant breakfast and nothing was too much trouble

Nothing

The staff are like gurus. The vibe of the whole place is awesome. A chilled oasis in the city.

Room was quite small. Lack of storage space or anywhere to put your stuff. A light above the mirror. Sorry. None of this is complaining at all but these things would make it perfect.

What a great hotel! From the check into the check out!

Nothing

We liked everything about this place and will come back again very soon x The staff are lovely and very friendly ❤️

Nothing we didn’t like

Everything the staff the vibe so attentive the attention to detail is perfect and so many extras that make you feel so special

Attractive conversion of old industrial premises. Felt welcoming and well laid out

Nothing

The hotel was gorgeous and stylish. The staff were so lovely too and always happy to help. We really enjoyed sitting at the bar and chatting with the barman! The complementary cookies and milk before bed and the lovely breakfast in bed topped off our already fab stay! Great location and the bed was really comfy too. A lovely stay :)

Nothing

Very pleasant staff, the place looks nice, it is clean, location was ideal for me. Breakfast tasty.

The room is tiny. There is no space to put your bag or your clothes, no storage whatsoever. You get a bed and that's it. You also cant just sit down in your room, there is no table, chair. I also did not enjoy the lukewarm water from the shower, both flow and temperature are severely limited. If you are asking top dollar for your room my expectations are going to be at a high level too.

Friendly staff, interior design and vibe Little touch’s.

Ron was very small to move around

Great location , stylish, really genuinely friendly and helpful staff Nice personal small hotel

I had the smallest room which was fine for one person but would be cosy for two as storage space clothing and suitcase is very limited

Staff greeted us with a very warm welcome , and every time we returned to the hotel . Complimentary prosecco . Hotel was very clean and " quirky "... lots of character. Car park 5 mins walk which is not bad for city centre... breakfast options good and very nicely presented, delivered to room as per timed request .. we will definitely stay again.

Shower temp was only tepid .

Literally this place thinks of everything! Stayed in the suite, it was spotless, large bathroom, amazing staff, coming back at 2300 and being offered hot chocs and cookies was just such a lovely touch! Unlimited hot drinks, and breakfast delivered to the room! A lovely lovely stay!

Nothing

The hotel was very well decorated and, clean with good facilities and nice touches of free prosecco and nibbles between a certain time, no tea and coffee facilities in the room but you can help yourself from an area near the reception. We had a couple of small issues that the staff couldn't do enough to help. The General manager Gemma was exceptionally helpful and dealt with the issues very swiftly. You have a small choice to choose from for breakfast which gets delivered to your room at your chosen time, nicely presented with juice and fruit.

All I would say is that some of the rooms are quite small, but if staying for 1 night is perfectly fine, but if staying for more than that I would recommend choosing the larger room.

We loved this boutique hotel. Staff were so lovely and kind. The decor was fab and the little touches sold it for us. As woman who continues to forget a hairdryer, they not only had that covered but also straighteners and curlers in the room! It’s in walking distances of lots of good bars/restaurants.

Our only criticism would be the shower pressure and noise, but they do specify about why the shower pressure is how it is and the noise couldn’t be helped.

Stunning boutique hotel in a great area, with super friendly and attentive staff. Stylish and high quality

Nothing

The hotel is in a brilliant location with everything you need right on your door step. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. The design of the hotel was very nice and a bonus point for all the little extras you get when staying in the hotel.

Nothing at all, the only issue is they don’t do food which I understand as it is only a small hotel, but when you just want a quick bite to eat it’s not great. However, you are able to order food to the hotel so not that big of a deal.

It has very well designed decor

The room was quite small And no full English breakfast available

Really stylishly renovated old building, super charming. All the staff was very friendly and helpful. Excellent location, close to the train station and to the lively areas of Manchester.

Rooms are tiny and walls are thin. Guess that's the downside of using such an old warehouse building for a hotel.

Really good location. The room was very nice, much nicer than a chain hotel. Lots of nice touches, like access to a coffee machine, 24 hour bar service and breakfast delivered to our room

Nothing!

Staff were friendly and just nice to talk to.

Staff were superb - friendly, helpful and approachable. The hotel is part of an old engineering works and showcases many aspects of this.

Room 16 would be ok for a couple of days, but not longer term as there is limited space for storage and regular movement.

Loved that the breakfast was brought to your room. The rooms only have 3 coat hangers in there to hang clothes. Staff were all exceptionally friendly.

No coffee / tea facilities in room.

Breakfast to my room! nicely presented and on time. Complimentary drink s and nibbles before we headed out for the evening was a nice touch

Bathroom - lovely concept but very tiny luckily I'm quite small ;)

What isn't there to like? Hidden gem!! Quirky hotel with welcoming and friendly staff. Beautiful rooms. Great breakfast. Quiet rooms. Love love love!!

Nothing at all

The hotel was absolutely unreal. I saw from the website how gorgeous the interior of the hotel was so I was very excited to book it for my boyfriend’s birthday. Little did I know the hotel would exceed my expectations. The attention to detail, the complimentary touches from free hot drinks, glass of Prosecco and nibbles, cookies and milk before bed to the breakfast it bed was amazing! The thought that has gone into the hotel is sensational and we loved the recommendations of places to go leaflet in the room and that you could request slippers which just adds that extra level of comfort and luxury to your stay. I would highly recommend anyone to stay here :)

That I didn’t book more nights to stay!

The property is beautiful and so much character

Nothing

Everything about Cow Hollow was beautiful. The building, the location. Staff were so friendly and attentive, the small touches they made like cookies and milk for bed, complimentary breakfast brought to your room. They even acknowledged our anniversary with a letter.in our room. We will definitely be returning.

Room was beautiful and the breakfast was great for being included in the price of the room

This hotel is amazing, definitely one of the best in Manchester!!! I can’t wait to return

Nothing

Gorgeous interior, lovely staff and great location

Rooms quite small, compact bathroom and no kettle but lovely hot drink making facilities in the reception area

We loved the room, the bed was super comfortable and the room was spacious. The TV includes most popular streaming services which is something I now feel is a necessity. The breakfast, which is included as part of your stay, is great: I had the continental which includes a granola yoghurt, a banana, a pastry, an orange juice and a coffee. My husband had a cheese omelette, a banana, orange juice and coffee. The location is spot on, you are in the heart of the Northern Quarter which has some amazing bars, cafes and restaurants and you’re not far from the main shopping area. There is quite a few parking locations close to the hotel and we found one for only £14 for 24hrs which was the cheapest we saw. The staff are super friendly and welcoming and couldn’t be more helpful. We loved our stay!

I think our our only gripe is that when people walk up and down the stairs it’s SO loud because of the design of the hotel. The hotel does provide ear plugs which I heavily suggest using.

Location and decor was greay

Breakfast was poor

Lovely hotel such lovely staff and rooms

Nothing it's perfect

The room was stunning and quirky

Nothing everything was perfect

The extras were a lovely touch and unexpected Great coffee Big mirrors Gorgeous bedding

The bathroom was very tiny and hot water only warm sadly

The whole design of the buildings interior was great, and the staff were also very lovely

Nothing

Loved every minute

From the minute we arrived at the hotel to the moment we left, we were made to feel very welcome and at home by the lovely, welcoming and attentive staff. The hotel is beautifully decorated and the bed exceptionally comfortable with quality linens, duvets and feather pillows. We loved the complimentary fizz and snacks, coffee and breakfast. The hotel is well placed for Manchester’s Northern Quarter and Ancoats with lots of great bars and restaurants on the doorstep. We were also very grateful that the hotel allowed us to change the date of our stay because of snow, even though we had booked a non cancellable/amendable rate. We will most definitely be returning when we next need a bolthole in Manchester City Centre.

The shower pressure was weak but that is part of the building’s eco friendly system and certainly did not cause any problems. The room was very small but perfect for an overnight stay.
