Hotel was beautiful, such a pretty property to explore. Rooms were so spacious which was ideal when travelling with kids and made a really comfortable base The social hour was a nice feature, we enjoyed having a drink before dinner most days. We had lunch at the onsite restaurant refuge and it was lovely and amazing space Property is right next to Oxford Road station and a 10 min walk to St Peter’s square and the tram stop so made it easy getting to places

The hotel is stunning and beautifully decorated. Staff were very helpful and friendly and the room was also spacious and quite comfortable. The hotel is conveniently located near great restaurants and the Manchester museum. The only downsides were that the hotel exterior was undergoing renovation during our stay, which meant that we weren't able to view the city from our hotel room. Additionally, parking was located across the street, so it can be tricky loading/unloading luggage. However, this would not deter me from staying at this hotel again in the future.

Nice hotel right outside Oxford Road station. Staff were great, with a friendly welcome and a free glass of wine or a beer, just what was needed after a long trip to get there! Rooms were clean and spacious with tea, coffee, fresh milk and even a little chocolate bar in the room. The whole experience felt much more personal than the usual big brand hotel chains 👍

An Amazing Stay at the Kimpton Clocktower Hotel in Manchester The hotel has amazing architecture and beautiful decor full of character and charm. Every aspect of our stay was excellent — from the food, room, bed, and washroom to the gym and dining experience. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the customer service was outstanding. The attention to detail, cleanliness, and overall atmosphere made this one of the best hotel stays we’ve had.
