Couldn’t sleep

Location and staff

The noise isolation is extremely bad, i can hear my neighbor snoring all over the night and any one passing in the alley way, the noise like 100% not isolated , door are too old and thin and the walls are all temporary partitions that does nothing. I would say its just like a well maintained box of paper!! Wouldn’t visit back 🫩

Nice hotel, breakfast and staff but they left my room door open after going in!

3.0

Lovely building but when they went in room to put a chocolate on the pillow they didn’t shut my door so my valuables were left with an open door until I returned very late night. Bit disappointing but nothing missing.

Fabulous quirky base for exploring Manchester.

10.0

Beautiful building and rooms, the decor was grand and definitely made a statement.

The bathroom was a bit tired compared to the rest of the room and there was no way to turn off the heated towel rail when we stayed during the heatwave!

Hotels of Earth · questions

Is Kimpton Clocktower by IHG really a five-star hotel?
Yes. Its own classification data carries five stars; that rating, not a style label, is what puts a property in this collection.

Good to know

Please note that the credit / debit card used at the time of the booking needs to be presented upon check-in. Please note that failure to do so will result in an alternative payment method being required.

Please note that bookings for 5 rooms or more will be on group terms & conditions and policies which will be sent directly by the hotel.

The elevator has a width of 4.6 feet.

Guests are advised to book a table ahead of their visit if they want to dine at The Refuge by Volta to avoid disappointment.

With its Victorian architecture and fresh approach to hospitality, Kimpton Clocktower Hotel is the perfect expression of its setting: Manchester, a city where tradition and modernity meet and where artisanship reigns supreme. Housed in a magnificent terracotta Grade II–listed building, Kimpton Clocktower has a history that dates back to 1890, when the building first opened as The Refuge Assurance Company headquarters. Today, it’s a destination where glamor and luxury meets one-of-a-kind craftsmanship—and where there are new things to discover at every turn.
