킴튼 클락타워 바이 IHG

We visited for a few nights with our toddler and we couldn't have asked for more friendly or helpful staff.

Wow factor hotel, building from another age and beautiful renovation. Friendly and helpful staff. Lovely bar/lounge area with great breakfast. Jazz music played on Sundays apparently, will visit again for that!

Vintage hotel with a classic vibe in a prime location

This was a grand dame of hotels. A reworking of an old Assurance office you get echoes of Manchester in its prime. Friendly front desk. I had stayed before so I was aware the usually straightforward getting to the room could be an expedition. No changes this time. They could usefully instal a ramp or similar to help haul luggage up the staircase, set over two levels. I then crossed the bar and finally reached my lift. The lighting in the room was very oddly organised and I eventually had to seek help to turn off lighting (took the staff a few goes). The rooms are carved out of larger spaces which can have odd results. I had a pleasant and large room but a poky en-suite.Good shower. Very good buffet brreakfast and plenty of room. Strong wifi.

I’ve been wanting to stay here for ages and luckily I got a good price. The hotel is lovely, staff very welcoming and breakfast very good with a nice setting. They even have my little boy sweets as it was his birthday. They also let us use the gym showers as we arrived early morning as it was too early for check in. …but a couple of things put me off. First was that they upgraded me to a disabled bathroom, which I did not like at all. It just felt to clinical and the whole room just wet after a shower. The second was the bar and that as a traveller with a young child, I had to go through a busy bar to get to my room. Also noticed that the lift was open to all, with no keycard needed. Anybody could have come up to the rooms!
