One night stay. The hotel is quite difficult to find. Sat nav in car takes you to an area not the hotel front. Arriving at the hotel the concierge parks the car for you.Well worth the fee for overnight parking. The only area or the hotel we felt was a little tired was the bar. Overall the service and the hotel is five star. Plenty of choice for breakfast and staff very courteous as can be said for all areas of the hotel.

The hotel has a hype but little things matter. We arrived quite late after a long drive and at 11pm you just want to hit the sack. Went to hand coats on the rail, it fell off. The door handle broke during the night. Also do not be fooled by the images. They do not have a swimming pool. They do however, have extravagant spa facilities. I had pre paid for the room but the hotel billed me for the room again when they explained what they were taking my card details for was meant to be a £50 safety deposit. I called and the manager was meant to call back, but never has. It is in a good location. There are restaurants and shops on your door step. Breakfast at the location is £25 a head but it is cheaper to book it when booking the room. It equated to £16 a head. They do have parking right opposite the hotel which is convenient. There are what appears to be free sopts outside the hotel which are reserved for the lambos and rolls royces of the world. I fell fractionally outside of this category. We asked for double but it was two singles joined togethered. The room was quite fancy. Stains on the sofas. They also charge a fee for staying in Manchester. I cant recall what the amount was as it was added to double charge for the room. The staff at reception were lovely and very helpful. It is a great location. It looks extravagant but the little things matter too when you pay so much for your stay.

A typically good hotel marred by being charged a frankly insane £51 to park for a grand total of 17 hours. This comprised a £32 overnight charge – punchy, but fair enough – and a £19 “day parking” charge as we got there a couple of hours early. This additional cost and the overall total felt like being chiselled. Frankly, I’d rather stay somewhere else than get charged like this again, especially as someone who has been a loyal customer of the hotel for years.

The door and reception staff were welcoming and efficient, and the parking facility is great. The room however was not as clean or as high a spec as expected. Having stayed here before some years ago it was disappointing. One of the bedside lights did not work, stains on the sofa, the rooms next door could clearly be heard and the cleaning staff were knocking on the door shortly after 8am to service the room and then came back another two times before we had left to check out.

Hotel is absolutely fine but little details let it down and certainly no longer befitting of a 5*. Pillows are all soft and no option to change. No usable fridge in the room, it’s all mini bar and if you remove items you get charged instantly. Bathrobes were pretty average and hard as nails to touch. Bedroom carpets were dirty as was the hallway. The aircon even on low is so noisy you have to turn it off and know you’re going to then be hot in about an hour. On the plus side, the lady that does late night room service is an absolute delight and so accommodating and personable.

Was very disappointed on my stay here. I have 2 young kids so booked to stay here for a luxury night of sleeping without them, although there was a function on which was very loud. The music could be heard word for word 2 floors up, in our room. We were told the music would be on until 1am. Not something I expected in a 5* hotel. We did enquire as we didn't want this to be an issue when we would be trying to sleep. One of the staff members holly, assured us that the music would be turned down at 10pm so we would have a restful night. She clearly just lied as it was still pumping at 11pm. At this stage we requested to change rooms which we did get upgraded to a suite. I am very appreciative that the staff sorted this, but as it was after 11.30pm any bed that was quiet would of done. I wouldn't want anyone else to have the same experience and book this hotel thinking it would be relaxing. This being said the rooms were gorgeous, beds were super comfy and the hotel was very clean!

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).

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.

The worst hotel stay I’ve had in a while. From unfriendly check in, to hotel smelling of weed, extremely slow and stressful service in the hotel bar. Guests don’t get access to their “spa” amenities. I have no idea how this is even classified as a five star hotel. Rooms were ok, but the worst water pressure I’ve experienced in a “five star hotel”. Disappointing experience. Stay away.

The hotel is a bit tired compared to the old days but still a better hotel for Manchester. It lacks a notable level of 5* service, all being very reception driven. The price certainly doesn’t reflect the hotel, it’s living on it reputation. I asked for a bacon sandwich int he morning, but the waitress was forced to tell me that “the chef says make it yourself from the buffet”. The bacon on the buffet was old and looked boiled and grey. The options at breakfast are vast but the hot buffet is very poor quality. I’d recommend exploring other options.

Hotel is becoming tired in places. The washrooms on the restaurant floor are showing signs of wear. As is the restaurant. Bar area is very nice. Staff are fantastic there. Breakfast was diabolical- stayed for three nights / 3 breakfasts. Vastly overpriced at £67 for two people. Same buffet every day, scrambled eggs runny and horrible, lukewarm baked beans that looked like they had been there hours. Stale bread. Cold coffee served. Seemed to be only one type of jam in the pot holders - blackcurrant. Slow service. Some Staff laughing and chatting while guests were waiting for service. I will not book with breakfast again. Will pre book somewhere like the Ivy as quarantined quality. Re room - 603 - door in bathroom looked like it had been kicked in and badly repaired, annoyingly part of the bathroom door handle came lose and rattled when opening / shutting the door. At £1200 for three nights stay it should be better. I got the feeling the staff are not very happy - from reception to the restaurant staff. I was so annoyed I cancelled an afternoon tea as did not want to spend additional money on a potentially disappointing experience. We do love the overall ambience here, but needs to step up to warrant £1200 for a nice bit ok room, with lack lustre service ( apart from the bar area).
