    Calm and trendy vibe! Absolutely great and comfortable stay. The staff are so friendly and super accommodating to any requests. The milk and cookies before bed was such a treat and was lovely waking up to the breakfast in bed! Top 5 hotels I’ve ever stayed in for vibe, comfort , staff and the extra details they go above and beyond on

    Unfortunately there was a power cut on the second morning but this couldn’t be helped as was external, this meant we left earlier than planned. Staff kept us well updated and we were offered a partial refund in price for the nights stay.

    Lovely boutique hotel, staff were very friendly. Lots of lovely little touches such as continental breakfast brought to the room each morning.

    We both loved the the whole vibe around the hotel,lovely people everywhere we turned. All the staff Barnaby and Lydia especially were also a pleasure to be around,exceptional individuals keep up the great work you do.

    Beautiful Boutique Hotel in a perfect location!

    The Cow Hollow is such a gorgeous boutique hotel! The staff were SO friendly and there were lots of little complimentary touches. Breakfast, complimentary coffee throughout our stay and the prosecco and nibbles was such a lovely idea, perfect to enjoy just before going out! The room had everything we needed (including hairdryer, straightener & curlers!), and the bed was super comfortable. It's in a great location, we really loved the northern quarter, everything was walking distance and loads of cool bars, pubs, restaurants, and cafes! The ONLY downside was that the room is just slightly on the small side, it's not a big issue, especially for a city break where you're out exploring but we had two large suitcases which were slightly in our way. Regardless, we'd definitely stay here again and recommend to anyone!

    Some outside noise but we did stay on a Friday night in the Northern Quarter, so not unexpected!

    Lots of nice little extras, such as Prosecco and nibbles, free hot drinks, breakfast goodie bag; the room had hairdryer, straighteners, curling tongs, separate body wash, shampoo and conditioners; staff told us everything we needed to know; very close to anything you could want to do in Manchester.

    The rooms are somewhat cosy, and somewhere to hang clothes would be good. However, the rooms were comfortable, well designed and clean.

    The location of the hotel was ideal. The staff at the hotel were superb: so friendly and attentive. We particularly liked the breakfast delivered to our room, the Prosecco/soft drink between 5-7, and the milk and cookies before bed time was a lovely touch. We will definitely recommend this hotel.

    All great, only issue was lack of hot water on last morning. Understand the building is old and maybe everyone showering at same time to get out

    Amazing location, beautiful inside and the staff were brilliant. Loved the extra touches with the breakfast im bed, turn down cookies and the prosecco and snacks in the evening

    We thought the room location we had was too close to the bar and reception area. With this being said we could hear quite a bit of noise.

    Decor in reception and bar area was exceptional. Bedroom and bathroom was spacious and very modern.

    Our neighbours were loud in the early hours which was a shame ..but that’s not a reflection of the hotel itself of course.

    We stayed sun-thurs so had a large suitcase. No wardrobe/drawers/storage space at all. Couldn’t properly unpack clothes. The bedroom was literally the bed and had to open the suitcase in the bathroom to be able to open it wide enough.

    Free breakfast was amazing, tea/coffee/orange juice/banana/pastry AND granola&yoghurt. Set us up perfectly each day! Staff were really friendly and helpful. Great location, few minutes walk from lots of shops & places to eat, but still far away enough from busy streets. Bed was so comfortable with soft duvet and pillows. Would stay again for sure!
