Lovely vibe. Friendly helpful staff. Nice touches like free prosecco and nibbles as well as coffee and fruit. Relaxed atmosphere and lively room. Brilliant location, will come again.
Beautiful boutique hotel in Manchester. Staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. Gorgeous building and lovely rooms.
10 minute walk to the station and center of the city, but not too loud.

Very central boutique hotel, great first impression, nice breakfast, basement room but fine, could have done without fellow guests stomping around above at 5am

All the staff were very help full and very friendly. We would definitely stay here again
10 out of 10
The hotel is exceptional in presentation and staff attentiveness. Fabulous value with a welcome glass of fizz and nibbles and breakfast included. Such a nice touch. Having the little bar at the thoroughfare of the hotel made it a very sociable check in experience… I didn’t make it to the room for 2hrs 😬😂 a proper boutique hotel experience
Excellent location, friendly and accommodating staff, cute and comfortable room, great breakfast and bar. Highly recommend staying here if you're staying in the Northern Quarter!

Staff was lovely amd couldnt do enough for us, the amenities were beyond expectations and the free snacks and drinks were just the cherry on top of an amazing experience
Staff were great, location is good although quite noisy. Rooms are very very small with lots of opportunity to bump into things. No room for luggage. Bathroom was extremely small and shower was just Ok.
Great staff, beautiful hotel, our 2nd visit to The Cow Hollow although it has been a few years but excellent to see that it is still as great as the first time. Really welcoming staff and all super helpful. Great location for shopping, great coffee and brunch spots nearby.
We booked this stay for our anniversary. From the moment we arrived, nothing was too much trouble. The lovely touches of our bags being taken to our room for us having left them earlier, the 5pm Prosecco and being able to have a cocktail brought to the room in the evening were all fab. We loved breakfast in bed and the choices suited us perfectly. The location is great - close to town and everything we wanted to do. We will are already planning to return next year!
All of the staff were fantastic, everyone was so friendly and keen to help, they really made us feel welcome. All of the little perks were a wonderful touch like free hot chocolate, cookies, prosecco and antipasti. Would definitely stay again
Very nice hotel with friendly and helpful staff. The hotel is unique with great interior. It's located a short walk from Manchester Piccadilly, with plenty of shops, bars and restaurants close by. The hotel bar also has very good drinks, and the breakfast delivered to the room is nice.

All great, except tiled floor in room, could have definitely done with underfloor heating. Some very nice touches , excellent decor , and a nice atmosphere
Lovely extra touches throughout our stay. Very helpful staff. Great location for walking into the city for shopping and a quick uber ride to the co-op live stadium
