Such a beautiful and hospitable hotel. We really enjoyed our stay here and they were very accommodating. Also loved their bath products and the lobby smells amazing! Only wish we weren’t travelling overseas so I could have further enjoyed the beautiful adjoining flower shop.
I probably should have done my homework on this hotel before booking my stay. I had to learn the hard way that it’s known to be one of the top most haunted places in Manchester. Don’t get me wrong, the building is beautiful, the lobby is beautiful and the rooms are great. But the tension and anxiety you feel as you walk through the hallways after getting off the elevator .. it takes away the whole purpose of being relaxed at a hotel. The hallway lights are sensors so they stay off for the most part, and at night it’s the most creepiest experience ever. I would only recommend this place if you enjoy that kind of stuff, otherwise it’s not worth it.
The staff was great. The room was clean and beautiful . Not your ordinary hotel which made our stay that much more special. The English breakfast was wonderful and yummy. The restaurant at Kimpton - the Refuge food was delicious. The Kimoton is close to all your needs whether it’s for food convenient stores or buses and trams. Highly recommended.
We had a fantastic one night stay at this hotel as a family of four. A very comfortable room, and brilliant breakfast, but what stood out the most was the staff - everyone we came into contact with was so warm, helpful and friendly. Thank you!
I moved from the excellent nearby Brooklyn Hotel because I wanted to spend a couple of nights in one of Manchester's grandest and most impressive buildings. The lobby isn't large but is beautiful. The hotel itself is a fascinating maze, which lots of strange turns and unexpected interior details. It isn't quite luxurious -- the age of the building precludes that -- but it is quite nice. I very much liked my room with a large (and very nicely appointed) bath and views (a little restricted by smallish windows) on three sides including over the nearby railtracks. Basically, this is a very nice hotel in a very unique setting. Probably not as impressive as it was at its heyday - but fun and comfortable nevertheless.
