Wonderful
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travellers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
Only reason I didn’t give a 5 for everything is due to me explaining I would arrive early and was charged an extra £15 on top of the usual parking from 2pm! 24 hours should be when you arrive to when you leave and we were within the 24 hours! Should have been explained and this is the first time this happened as arrived around 11 am a few weeks back and wasn’t charged.
Pros: Executive room was spacious and very clean. Breakfast was delicious and plentiful. The aircon worked well on a hot day. The bed was huge and comfortable. Parking available opposite the hotel.
Cons: The shower pressure was poor on the rain shower. Parking spaces are very tight which meant as a heavily pregnant woman it was a bit of a challenge finding a space I had a chance of being able to open my door wide enough to get out. Also the fact that you spend £28 for parking as a hotel guest but if you were a restaurant guess spending £50 or more parking was free was a bit galling. Some staff were excellent, some seemed a bit clueless and allowed rude abrasive guests to railroad over patiently waiting guests (but this my just be my perception).
Great hotel and enjoyable stay. Service from the bar/restaurant could be a bit quicker with the team been more attentive to us

The Lowry does not maintain the standards of a 5*hotel. Attention to detail expected in such an establishment was clearly lacking. It is this attention to detail that makes the difference between a 4 or 5* hotel. For example: Meagre pillows, duvet cover on inside out, broken light switch, shower gel and hand wash dispensers in wrong place. Meagre tea and coffee in room, plastic milk sachets, and no complimentary vanity accessories (cotton wool, etc). No doorman, no concierge, sparse and unwelcoming lobby and unhelpful reception staff regarding taxis. Breakfast offering reasonable however, bacon undercooked, Eggs Royale inedible- smoked salmon heated under grill and hollandaise congealed.
Mattress was well used had dints either side of the bed… & shower water pressure was poor. Sweet wrapper found in dressing gown, made my partner question if they were fresh.
Only stayed one note but was impressed with the standard especially in the UK. The room, size, feel and amenities are of a high quality. Would definitely return when next I’m in Manchester
