Stayed here twice. Had a good stay both times. Towards the back of the hotel you have Salford Quays and lovely area to walk. There are also restaurants nearby and a canoeing company. A lovely walk to the Lowry Centre. Tram line very close by for cheap transport through to central Manchester. Hotel room small and functional, maybe a little... more

Booked in for a one night stay, having a work function nearby. All started fairly well, check-in went smoothly. Room fairly functional, desk, hairdryer etc. The selection of toiletries was fair, although unused so I cannot vouch for quality. Bar area very small and practically on top of reception. Surprisingly small but service fair. Restaurant on the other hand was... more

We stayed for one night we had been to concert in Lancashire Cricket Club-about 15 mins walk from hotel. We found the hotel fine booked with lastminute.com for £50.00 (room only) for a classic double room city side. Its not 4 star or our room wasn't but nothing to complain about really it was clean and well equipped usual noise... more

My new husband and I held our wedding reception here over the Bank Holiday weekend and it was absolutely amazing! We were a little concerned about the reviews as many of our guests were staying here, but I have to say all of my worries were unfounded. From the moment we arrived we were treated like royalty. All of the... more

Just had our daughter's wedding reception at the Copthorne. From beginning to end it was a perfect day. The setting is beautiful, the rooms were great and the service of the staff was fantastic! The food was of an excellent standard and the smooth running of the whole day is thanks to Mark and his staff. Perfection! more

Booked into the Copthorne for a three night stay with my wife and 11 month old baby. First the good stuff, hotel had very good customer service both over the phone and in person, requested a baby cot and it was in place when we checked in. Most of the negatives are more to do with the building. I can... more

We've just returned from an overnight stay at this hotel and I think many reviewers on this site are going way over the top as to how bad they think it is. Yes, it is stuck in a late 80s timewarp and yes, the lack of air con in the bedrooms and the fact its next to a noisy building... more
