The Cow Hollow Hotel, Manchester

lovely staff, really warm welcome, good facilities, loved having breakfast delivered to the room and late night milk and cookies was a sweet touch

room was quite small and underground

The hotel is small, friendly, quirky, unique and really quite luxurious. Wonderful bed with big fluffy pillows and high quality linen. The milk and cookies before bed was an unexpected treat, as were the free tea and coffee facilities provided in the basement sitting area. Hairdryer, styling wand and straighteners provided in a Cow Hollow tote…. Lanvin toiletries and big white fluffy towels and…. free slippers and ear plugs to take home! Staff were friendly and helpful. - nothing too much. And breakfast in bed. - what a treat!

The room was perfect for.a single traveller but would have been crowded with 2 and I didn’t like that I couldn’t open a window - the room got a bit stuffy but a fan was provided to cool it down somewhat. It was a little noisy during the evening with guests returning but that didn’t last for long.

Staff were very professional and helpful and the location was great

Gorgeous hotel. Lots of attention to the small details. The staff were exceptionally friendly and made us feel very welcomed. The complimentary glass of Prosecco when we arrived was a nice touch. The room was beautifully decorated with a great shower and comfortable bed.

Nothing. Loved it all.

The amazing helpful staff particularly the helpful Asad who could not do enough to make our stay more comfortable

I liked the location it was close to the centre, the staff were lovely and lots of complimentary stuff.

Room is small but not an issue as it’s nice and intimate and worth the money.

Location was great , we were going to a concert and it was great for that and easy to get round Manchester , the breakfast in the morning was lovely and fact a lot of complimentary things throughout the day reallt appreciated it

Enjoyed it all

Excellent service from all staff. Room was tight yet cozy. Very well decorated. Breakfast in bed was a wonderful touch

The avocado on sourdough was spicy and it wasn't mentioned or displayed on the menu when we chose our breakfast upon check in. There also doesn't seem to be catering for allergies.

Staff - super attentive with coffees on my way in and out. Loved the cookies at night. Bed super comfy and plush

Blinds in bedroom got stuck, could do with blinds in bathroom rather than just shutters

Beautiful hotel, friendly helpful staff, lots of little touches that make it extra special

Quiet clean comfortable room

Nothing Really ,but if you had problems climbing stairs it would not be the best place to stay

Very welcoming and good location. Breakfast in bed is a great touch. Small and cosy hotel.

Nothing to complain about. Should have booked it earlier for a better price.

Loved absolutely everything about The Cow Hollow the attention to detail is just amazing Great Location Amazing breakfast delivered to your room Complimentary glass of prosecco and nibbles at the bar

Nothing to dislike

The staff were very helpful and accomodating. Nothing was too much trouble. They even brought up tea to the room early in the morning two minutes after ordering! Breakfast was served to the room on time and was very tasty. Complimentary drinks (including a glass of prosecco) all made it a very pleasant experience.

It took us a while to find the hotel - a bigger sign outside would have helped. Apart from that, there was nothing we didn't like

Breakfast in bed

Nothing

The property is stunning. The decor is beautiful, everything is so clean. The room was huge, had everything and more that you needed, having hair straighteners, curling iron and hairdryer all available in your room is top tier. The staff could not be better, always happy to help, super smiley and couldn’t do more for you. cCheck in and out was very easy, was actually quite sad to leave. Will definitely be back.

What a gem! All the staff were consistently welcoming and friendly and efficient. The little extras were such a surprise. There was even a mini speaker in the room!!!! Fabulous shower, punctual and delicious breakfast brought to our room. We will 💯 be back!

Nothing

Great location, an array of complimentaries including prosecco, breakfast and milk/cookies before bed. Very comfy, clean warm room, and beautifully presented building, staff were absolutely great. Will definitely be staying again!

Not really negatives compared to the positives, but no window to open or extractor fan meaning the room would steam up after showering, but this may be due to it being a listed building. Also worth mentioning there’s a holding charge which can take a while to be cleared from your back

Location, staff, rooms

Showers were lukewarm

Lovely hotel in a great location. The staff were amazing and the service was incredible. They were super accommodating to my service animal and i felt really looked after. Thank you again!

Location to Northern Quarter Luxurious Welcoming Friendly Breakfast in bed was amazing

Nothing

This was an amazing stay. The hotel was beautiful, the service was outstanding, we got prosecco when we arrived, the staff went above and beyond for us, they were so polite, just incredible. Nothing but good words to say!

Was genuinly great, no notes!

Great location Helpful friendly staff Great looking room

Not much storage space in room but to be honest the good points outweigh this minor thing by a mile.

Stunning hotel! Stayed in room 16 and it was the perfect size whilst still being cosy. The style was fabulous and the room was well equipped. The pictures absolutely don’t do the hotel justice! We had a phone for room service, two hairdryers and a pair of straighteners, ear plugs, water (still and sparkling) and a little pack of sweets on arrival. The room also has a Bluetooth speaker and a TV with Netflix. There was also access to an iron/ironing board and complementary tea/coffee for the entire stay. We got complementary Prosecco/nibbles, milk/cookies and breakfast in bed! It was very quiet and we weren’t disturbed by anybody at all. Staff were all incredibly polite and went above and beyond to make sure we were happy. Location was also great!

There is an overhead rainfall shower and also a smaller shower head, but the bracket had come off for the small one so only the overhead option was usable, unless you held the small one the entire time - not too helpful when you don’t want to get your hair wet, but very minor! Said slippers were included and there weren’t any in our room but this is another very minor thing - we were there early so they were probably just trying to get everything done for us, and if we asked for them I am 110% sure they would’ve been more than happy to provide! We just weren’t overly bothered.

Beautiful hotel, the room was perfect with a huge bathroom. Its a fantastic location! The bed was heaven ! I did not want to get out of it. adored the shutters on the window and wooden beams.

Great location, loads of places to eat/drink/shop close by. Staff were all friendly and attentive. Hotel clean, lots of facilities and little extras. I only wish we could have stayed longer.

Nothing!

Very friendly staff, extremely clean and welcoming love the extra touches like hot chocolate and breakfast to your rooms Lovely staff who couldn’t do enough for you!

Nothing the showers are hotter now since last stay which is better!

Wonderful stay! The staff goes above and beyond for a truly welcoming and comfortable experience from the moment you arrive to when you leave. The only place I ever want to stay when in Manchester!

It was an amazing Hotel- initially we thought it was small but it was so well laid out inside - the decor and furniture were so good .The staff were so friendly and you immediately felt at home and comfortable - loved the free glass of Prosecco and the cookies and milk were a nice touch.we didn’t get to stay for breakfast in bed unfortunately but it looked amazing and such a. Great idea

There was nothing not to like

The friendly staff. The original style which showed character breakfast brought to my room at my requested time was warm and delicious.

My standard room had no storage. Only 3 clothes hangers on back of door.

Friendly, helpful staff. Quirky hotel, central for what we needed.

Location was fantastic, lovely and clean and staff were amazing

nothing

Last minute booking in Manchester due to missing my connection to Amsterdam. The hotel staff was so friendly and accommodating that it completely changed my mood. Comfortable bed and awesome breakfast the next morning. Honestly made my travel delay a welcomed adventure! Thank you!!

Really nothing. Everyone was great.

Gem of a place with lovely staff. Easy location for city centre and beautifully adapted to showcase old and new. Will book again

Staff were all so welcoming and lovely. I’ve never stayed in a hotel where the service has been so amazing! The room was also very clean and cozy.

That I couldn’t stay longer

Very cosy! Fab extra like a free prosecco and nibbles ! Also breakfast in bed !

We were only staying one night so our room was fine but would struggle if staying longer as very little room for bags or hanging things up

Clean and modern

Nothing

The staff were very welcoming from the beginning! We were able to leave our bags before check in and when we came back they already put them in the room. They also let us leave our bags after the check out since we had a later train. We arrived at almost midnight and they received us with tea and cookies! It was great after a day of being around all day long. They serve breakfast to your room which is amazing because you tell them what time you want it at. Everything was super clean.

The only down side (but it wasn't terrible) is that we wish there was more of a table in the room to leave our suitcases on

The vibe. Decor and lighting were relaxing, the staff made us feel welcome as soon as we entered. We were offered complimentary prosecco until 7pm, and cookies before bed. Our breakfast was delivered on time, presented beautifully and set us up for the day.

The room was quite small. Although the space in the ensuite was used well and accommodated a large comfy bed, some kind of storage or clothes rail would have been handy

The staff are amazing, lovely complimentary Prosecco, nibbles and cookies and milk before bed!

I’d have liked a few more breakfast options but my avo on toast was lovely and I really enjoyed it being bought to me in the morning for breakfast in bed!

The stylish comfort . Good quality food , linen, crockery, bedding and decor

There was no option to add extra light, eg. Needs a brighter light for bathroom mirror ( to apply make up etc) and maybe a dimmer switch or stronger bulb for main light in the bedroom.

Lovely staff, the place smells beautiful....

The rooms are teeny weeny but that's the only thing I would say that is even slightly neggy :)

All the extra touches the complimentary drinks and nibbles , the morning breakfast and drinks to room were lovely

Our room was tiny the smallest room I’ve ever stayed in but luckily we only stayed the night would definitely stay again but in a bigger room

Everything was wonderful. The staff are super helpful and attentive. Couldn't have asked for more from a boutique hotel! The bedrooms are small and other reviews noted this but it didn't bother me as a solo traveller for one evening. The freebies and staff were great. Loved breakfast in bed and the tea to the room. I ordered food from Uber and the staff even helped me get it from outside!

- The shower pressure and temperature is a bit low but this is advised due to eco-friendly modes they are in.

We loved its unique quirky style.

The room we stayed in was perhaps a little too small.

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! ⭐️🌟🌟🌟🌟
