Amazing stay!

Had an amazing stay at the Kimpton in Manchester. Really enjoyed the ‘Social drinks’ hour with complementary wine. Room was clean and spacious with a great hot shower! We love the Refuge bar that is linked with the hotel, which served a lovely breakfast in the morning.

10/10 Exceptional

The hotel is lovely. The staff are friendly and welcoming. Our room was large and clean, and the bed was very comfortable. The bee shaped chocolates on the bed was a nice touch. The only downside was the noisy pub/bar opposite the hotel on Oxford Road, the music didn’t stop till 3am. Although this has nothing to do with the hotel, it is worth bearing in mind if you’re a light sleeper as the windows are not insulated enough to keep the noise out.

catherine, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Beautiful hotel, tastefully presented. Check in seamless. Breakfast was fresh and good quality produce. Only issue was the feather pillows - uncomfortable and no alternative options for those with allergies. Also we booked a family room for 3 of us - myself and 2 teenage daughters but the room was only made up for 2 - so 2 towels, 2 cups, 2 glasses etc. we checked in late at night so didn’t bother calling housekeeping - we just managed.

Absolutely incredible experience! The staff were warm, welcoming, and went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. The location is perfect — close to everything in Manchester, making it easy to explore the city. The hotel itself is stunning, full of character and charm. We’ll definitely be back!
