Swallow Bower Hotel Manchester

The Bower in my opinion needs a refurbishment,however I always enjoy my stay there.The breakfast is good unless there has been a wedding reception the night before,as this means choices of food are then more limited.

all of the staff helpful and friendly,breakfasts are very good with lots of choice the food is cooked fresh just stopped in an other swallow hotel and the breakfasts & evening meals in the restaurant did not come up to the standard of the bower hotel, well done the bower hotel

Excellent breakfast - was very happy to find it was a full English as I thought it was going to be continental! It was comfortable and quiet in the room, despite being busy in the reception on the Saturday night. Only thing was that the room was quite cold, but a very minor point in a very good stay.

rooms are very outdated and could do with an upgrade. on the plus side staff very friendly and helpful and great breakfast.

Very pleasant stay. Although very close to the motorway, it wasn't noisy but consequently easy to find and conveniently placed for going into Manchester. Breakfast was one of the best I've tasted for a long time: very fresh with eggs cooked to order and linen on the table!

excellent value for money. gentleman who looked after check in was a gentleman. girl working in bar alone on sunday night was a complete lady.

Second stay at the hotel. Handy and reasonably priced with all you need for a short stay.

A clean, conveniently located hotel in the greater area of Manchester, with comfortable rooms.Highly recommended for a short stay.

Very nice hotel, but liquid soap holders were on the floor instead mounted on walls.Room nice and tidy. Morning brakfest served in decorated room in very upscale way. Very good veriety and freshness of the served food. Good start for another day. Taxi ride very expensive to the airport. Recommending this hotel to everybody.

The hotel is basic and central to where I will be working so is ideal for this. You are also close to the ring road so access round the city centre is ideal. I will be booking again in the near future.

The hotel was old and shabby The room was damp and mouldy and smelt so bad I had to wash all our clothes when we got home - even those we hadn't worn. there was no remote control for the TV and the bedside lights flickered on and off at will. However the service was great and friendly, and the food was absolutely fantastic in the hotel restaurant.

I would happily stay there again.

Good hotel with all facilities for the price.

Exceptionally nice staff. Room was nicer than I'd expected, though the hairdrier didn't work. Would stay there again.

We found that our room was very good appart from the temperature, it was a very cold weekend we appreciate but the window although double glazed did not fully shut and was drafty. However we enjoyed our stay.

Just a stopover really but it was nice and clean and the breakfast was delicious. Great for the price

Spent 2 nights on a business trip. More pleasant atmosphere, but no real advantage over the "sales rep crash pad" chains. I was in what looked like older section - showerroom clean but very small, counterpane with cigarette burns are only complaints. Nice outlook over lawn. Restaurant staff excellent, food reasonably good if a bit limited. If going to the airport by taxi, get a fixed quoted price.

Although [your website] had not advised the hotel of my arrival the receptionist dealt with my check in with minimum fuss and maximum proffessionalism.

It seems to be a popular venue for private functions. Very noisy over Friday and Saturday nights for ordinary residents.

The hotel is OK, but could need some renovation
