Excellent Stay!
We have had an amazing stay at The Cow Hollow! The hotel is small but situated well for all the sights of Manchester. The staff were attentive and friendly and really enhanced the experience. The room we had was small but as we were out and exploring for most of the day, it didn't bother us. There is complimentary tea and coffee in the main part of the hotel and a coffee stand downstairs, as there is no facilities in the room. We enjoyed free prosecco and nibbles in the late afternoon and cookies and hot chocolate in the evening. We also had a choice of free breakfast and drink bought to our room the next day.
It was an amazing experience and we'd definitely visit again.

26 September 2024
The building itself was nice, decor etc but as we were put in a room in the basement area you could hear everyone walking above. Also you could hear other people in their rooms talking and even putting the keys in doors.
They offer a mill cookies service at 2200. I’ve had them in other hotels and they were great warm soft melted cookies with warm milk. Here your given 3 Maryland cookies and glass of milk. Not worth the trip to the lobby. Also offer a breakfast and a time to be sent to your room. We wanted a lay in and choose 0900 but that didn’t matter because the next room had theirs at 0730 and we know because it’s so loud with people knocking on the doors etc. so we were also up at 0730. My wife picked the omelette which more resembled a deflated balloon or one of them rubber joke sick toys from the 90’s. I had croissant and granola, croissant was actually really nice but I didn’t even receive the granola. For the price of the room at £159 on weekday I expected a bit better.

The hotel is in the hub of Manchester with plenty to do especially if shopping is on the agenda. There are restaurants and bars aplenty and you are spoilt for choice. The hotel itself has some lovely touches, staff were super friendly, breakfast was fresh and tasty. Would definitely stay again.

Check in was excellent.
The room we stayed in was compact. There isn’t anywhere to hang clothes but it might advise that on their website (unsure).
Also our room wasn’t the cleanest. The shower needs a deep clean to remove the mould build up on the tiles and seals.
Lots of positives though about this place, the staff are great, breakfast hit the spot, a free drink of Prosecco if required, milk and cookies after 10pm.
It’s a great location for access to the Northern Quarter which is a cool hipster environment.

Quirky hotel which we really liked. Staff were very welcoming and helpful. Double room was a bit small. Nice en suite but we could not get the shower hot no matter what we tried.

Very quaint and well situated for where I needed to be. The area though is a little grubby. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The nice complimentary breakfast was a bonus.

Lovely hotel
We loved our stay here. Really lovely hotel with quirky amenities that make the stay even better like the cookies before bed. The breakfast in bed is also really nice. Complimentary coffee that you can have in a little to go cup while you’re out and about. We even got a complimentary upgrade on our room. We hope to come back to Manchester for another few nights and rebook this hotel
