Stayed at the Lowry for two nights over a weekend in July. The main reason for coming to Manchester was to see Kylie in concert and therefore we were looking for a hotel close to the MEN arena and also the shops. Having looked at a number of other options and read various reviews we eventually decided on the Lowry... more

We went to this hotel as a treat and it was fantastic, they upgraded our room to a riverside view without us even asking. It is in a good location, a bit difficult to find, but central when getting a taxi to the centre. We had afternoon tea and then breakfast in the room and you got loads to eat.... more

3rd stay and as good as ever. Manager met us on arrival due to our stay last year and nothing is too much trouble. Room - clean and spacious. Room service - excellent. Concierge - fantastic (shoe shine service - class!) Bar - relaxing Breakfast - expensive, but good quality. more

I recently stayed at the Lowry Hotel in Salford, Manchester. It is located a short distance from the city centre, although if getting a cab from the mainline Piccadilly rail station, it feels like miles away. The hotel appears smart and modern. Public areas are bare and harsh with occasional artwork. My bedroom was large and functional. As with other... more

We stayed at the Lowry for a weekend break away in Manchester and found it to be an excellent hotel. The reception and lobby areas were very spacious although there did seem to be too many bare walls. The reception staff were very efficient and friendly and offered all the required information and assistance to our room. The corridors to... more

Having written a number of reviews in recent years I have never given a 5* until now. We found this hotel to be friendly ( not always the case in a 5* hotels ) relaxing and very smart. The rooms are large and very modern, to a standard that you would expect, as are the bathrooms. The restaurant is superb... more

I was put here with 2 hours notice after a works conference overran. Difficult to find if you don’t know Manchester but still good central location. Easy parking outside and fine check in/out. Apparently it’s very artistic but I found it overly stark and not relaxing Good things – lovely spacious quiet room, big comfortable bed, great walk in wardrobe,... more

I found the hotel was excellent value for money at the price we paid (£180 per night @ lastminute.com) It was a superior room with river views. The room was very large and spacious, huge bed, flat screen tv. The furniture was elegant and tasteful, and the room was imaculately clean. The bathroom again was spacious, clean and with a... more

The Lowry is not a luxury hotel - it's a fine, well run, 4* at best. The restaurant food however was excellent. My main gripe is the quality of the public areas and even the rooms - just all a bit ordinary. I also hate hotels that charge for absolutely everything - no free WiFi anywhere, no complimentary water in... more
