It's not the prettiest place I've ever stayed, but if you want friendly staff and a clean place centrally located, then you'll like the Lowry. I had nothing to complain about which is, perhaps, what you would want to say about any stay in any hotel anywhere.

Do not pay for a room with a view. You get a glorious view of greater crested Tescos bags and lesser spotted KFC wrappers floating down a brown river in front of a dump of a 1970s office building. If you mention this to the desk, you will be told it looks better in Summer. I think David Attenborough as... More

We stayed in the Lowry on a Saturday night this is my second stay at the hotel and we all enjoyed ourselves. Positives are the hotel rooms are big and spacious and beds extremely comfortable with everything available from a iPod dock, dvd player etc each member of staff we spoke to was professional and polite. I was disappointed on... More

This hotel is just average. It took me 3 telephone calls to make the reservation, when we arrived they said out restaurant booking was at 6pm and I had to show them my confirmation email to prove it was 8pm. The decor once inside to hotel is dated and average. We had booked a celebrate package, when we got to... More

Great modern hotel just behind Deansgate. Cool room and building close to bars and restaurants. The drinks in the bar are very expensive (we bought 4 double spirits and mixers and were charged just under £60 - £15 a drink is a little excessive!).

We stayed at the Lowry 13 May 2012. We were up from London for a special occasion so decided to try the best.Poor signage to the hotel and into the car park. We had a very warm welcome by the doormen and staff and all very pleasant. We were offered a very nice "city view" room - lovely car park... More

I've just spent four nights in the Lowry. It's my first experience and it's been a positive one. The room I stayed in was comfortable, and spacious. I had a deluxe riverside room, which was armed with stuff to make my stay enjoyable and comfortable. For example, there's a DVD player, iPod dock, TV with music on demand in every... More

We spent a weekend here, shopping and museums that sort of thing. We got a terrific deal through a website and paid two hundred and fifteen for two nights. It doesn't look very promising when you drive up but you can park right outside and they are friendly and helpful. The room was good, big and well apportioned although I... More

I spent a delightful weekend at the Hotel at the end of April to celebrate one of those "special" birthdays. The welcome from the hotel staff was excellent as you would expect.. but the Restaurant was another level up... The staff were engaging and charming with a genuine interest in ensuring we were happy with our dinner..... Lovely food.... Can't... More
