Where to start. Overall I think this is a fantastic hotel, but there are only one or two drawbacks. This lies with the room service and the quality and quantity of the food. I paid £33.00 for dinner in our room. This consisted of a cold burger and fries, which was £15.75. Burger was greasy and cold, fries were salty... more

I am usually very picky when it comes to hotels (see my other reviews) but I really found very little to fault at the Lowry. The service was impeccable, the building well maintained, and the rooms huge. I agree with the comments that some elements of the design are starting to look a little dated (the hotel is 8 years... more

Wanted to go to stay at a nice hotel for evening with decent restaurant so i could propose. Hotel looks good and clean and service is good. Rooms are OK, but stains on linen, electric curtains didnt work correctly and chairs suttfing had gone. Bathroom was a real disappointment. PLain white with a vinyl shower curtain over a bath as... more

My boyfriend booked The Lowry as a valentine treat for the weekend. The service was excellent but the quality of accommodation and the little finishing touches were not that of a 5 star hotel. The room itself was very large but this made it lose the personal touch and it felt too plain. There was a rip in the quilt... more

We had a beautiful time at the Lowry. Gorgeous hotel, wonderful location, large rooms and very helpful staff. We would stay again and recommend it for others as well. more

Me and my husband have stayed here a couple of times in a river view room. The rooms are spacious and clean. But compared to other hotels its starting to look a little dated. There were no flat screens in the rooms and the decoration seems a bit plain. The concierge service here is very good. The doorman was very... more

Just a quick review as I only had Dinner in the hotel and was not actually staying. The hotel is very modern and perhaps also minimalist, not looking too busy or cluttered. The staff in the bar and restaurant were excellent, and the food was fantastic. Not a cheap meal, but in a 5* hotel you expect to pay a... more

This is definately my favourite hotel in Manchester. It's in a really good location - a 2 minute walk across the bridge to deansgate and all the shops and bars but it's still very quiet. The service is professional and friendly but not invasive. The rooms are spacious, comfortable and very clean with nice touches like a selection of books... more

We stayed at the hotel on Saturday 13th December to attend an Association Dinner. We had invited guests and all enjoyed a very pleasant evening. However the following morning the restaurant was unable to cope with the numbers of guests and after waiting for 30 minutes to gain entry we were still behind numerous other guests waiting for a table.... more
