The Bower Hotel  

We were very satisfied with our brief stay at the Bower. The hotel had a warm atmosphere and a welcoming staff. We were made very comfortable and will deffinitely stay again when in the area.

The comfort of the room. nice and clean.V

Smoking area not kept clean. Plus outside hotel not very clean.

very good value for money

we had a good breakfast

The welcome was warm and friendly with offers of help without having to ask. This sensitivity to customers' needs is rather rare so a very welcomed surprise. Pleasant atmosphere in the bar and a varied selection of meals on offer. Overall an enjoyable stay; thank you.

The general layout of the hotel,we were staying as our friends were having their wedding there.It was good to have our room away from the noise.The breakfast was good and the service prompt.The drinks were epensive but overall bill good quality for the money.

The entrance doorway looks shabby and the reception area a bit off putting on arrival.The general feel of the hotel is a bit dated and shabby.There is a smell from the carpets too when you go to the rooms,and I do not remember seeing a lift.

Comfortable and spacious room. Would reccomend

The location was good the rooms were clean spacious and tidy. The breakfasts are very good too. The price was very reasonable too.

All staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful and cannot praise them enough. The actually seemed to 'like their work' and working together, which may sound like the basics but believe me you dont always get it everywhere else, inc some top end hotels. Sincere and helpful, thans again guys.

The upgrade room.

Scruffily dressed restaurant staff, unattentive and elusive, chattering about colleagues, wages etc. Breakfast on first morning swimming in fat, stuck to omelette for rest of stay. Member of staff simply knocked on the door and entered the room without waiting for response. Noisy pipes in first room with toilet smelling of urine, then offered identical room in same old block. Finally upgraded to room in new block.

We was looking for a Manchester City Centre Hotel but they were all expensive and did not have rooms for 3. There was 7 off us and it cost £36.00 return for a mini bus to the Palace Theater which was only a fiver each. The hotel is comfortable with a nice bar and the breakfast was excellent. If there is a wedding on the room can be noisy at night but the music did not go on too late . I would stay here again rather than the City Centre.

I stayed for two nights as working near by. The hotel was reasonably priced but not luxurious. It provided a comfortable stay for my purpose. Food was ok and breakfast included.

Lack of access to the internet in the rooms

The staff were helpful and friendly especially the restaurant staff and reception they could not have done more for us.

The twin bedded rooms,( the one we were given,) were very small and maybe would be best used as a single also the fact that having to go upstairs on arrival with suitcases and there being no lift or anyone to help two elderly ladies, not ideal

We attended a wedding reception at the Bower hotel, and what a fantastic day and night we had. The room was very cosy and relaxing and breakfast was perfect. I would definately stay here again :)
