Excellent staff, very very clean and spacious. Only 2 slight issues
Pros:

Decent location, stunning hotel with extremely pleasant staff that you couldn’t find fault with, would stay again in future if we had another event on.

Cons:

One of my only criticisms of the hotel was that the pillows were the worst id ever used in my life, completely flat with absolutely no neck support which for a hotel of its standard was very poor. Alongside perhaps the fire alarm flashing every 30 seconds or so, which is a bit distracting as you’re trying to sleep in the dark.

Geena Barlow
Pros:

We had such a wonderful stay at the Lowry and wanted to especially thank Geena for making our experience so memorable.
From the moment we arrived, she went above and beyond to help us with anything we needed, always with kindness, professionalism and a genuine smile. She is incredibly hardworking and such an asset to the hotel. People like Geena are what truly make a stay special.
The hotel itself is beautiful, peaceful and finished to such a high standard, but the level of service is what really stood out to us. We left feeling so well looked after and very grateful.
Thank you again, Geena — we truly hope your hard work is recognised because you absolutely deserve it!

Goede locatie en personeel, maar op sommige dagen mogelijk geluidsoverlast i.v.m. zaalverhuur.
Pros:

Vriendelijk personeel, goede locatie, goed oplossen van problemen, lekkere lunch. Schoon. Bedden over algemeen fijn.
Na een klacht over geluidsoverlast heeft de manager de dag erop adequaat gehandeld en ons een zeer goede andere kamer gegeven. Top.

Cons:

Lawaai / geluidsoverlast op een vrijdagavond van feest in zaal in hotel. Deze zaal zat 2 verdiepingen onder onze kamers maar muziek dreunde door en helaas tot 1 a.m. Daardoor lang wakker gelegen in onze kamer op 2e verdieping.. Ontbijt viel ook wat tegen. Fruit en croissants smaakten niet zo lekker. Geen echte muesli beschikbaar, alleen cruesli. Van 5 sterren verwacht je meer gezonde opties. Regendouche op 2e verdieping geeft weinig kracht. Airconditioning effectiviteit zeer wisselend per kamer. Ratelt in sommige standen en in ene kamer veel krachtiger dan in anderen.

So disappointed
Pros:

Lovely spacious room

Cons:

The disco music until 1am in the morning. Not being able to sleep and being told by the night staff it was tough about the loud music that the function was paying more money than us.

Looks good and is very clean but bed was such a let down!
Pros:

Looks good. Very Clean

Cons:

I genuinely cannot understand how a 5-star hotel would have a setup like this. The “king size” bed was actually two uneven beds pushed together, with a poorly fitted topper that didn’t properly cover the gap.
