Чому люди це люблять
- Floor-to-ceiling windows in every room offer unmatched views of the city and Pennines
- Cloud 23 bar is a bucket-list destination right in the elevator
- Location is unbeatable—steps from Deansgate station and Castlefield's canals
Короткий огляд: An aging giant that rests on the laurels of its spectacular views while we wait for the promised InterContinental refurbishment.
Переглянуто @Elysia.Official: We stayed on the 17th floor and felt like absolute A-listers. The skyline views are incredible, the steak at Podium was to die for, and the staff even surprised us with birthday cake. Highly recommend for a romantic city break!

Reality check
You are paying for the window, not the furniture—expect scuffs, slow-draining tubs, and a corporate 'convention' feel.
- You are a sucker for a high-floor city view
- You need to be right next to Deansgate station or the convention center
- You have Hilton Honors status for Executive Lounge access (the real highlight)
Чистота та обслуговування
7.5
- Housekeeping: Generally reliable daily service, but missed dust in corners and under beds is common.
- Bathroom hygiene: Grout and silicon often show age (discoloration/black spots); tubs can be slow to drain.
- Maintenance: The biggest issue. Peeling laminate, scuffed furniture, and worn carpets are frequently reported.
- Linens & towels: Standard Hilton quality—clean and crisp, but not luxurious.
- Odors & scents: Usually neutral, though some hallways can smell 'stuffy' due to lack of opening windows.

ЧаПи та скриті поради
Все, що вам дійсно потрібно знати перед бронюванням.
Do hotel guests get priority at Cloud 23?
Technically yes, but in reality, you often still have to queue or book. Don't assume your key card is a VIP pass on Saturday night.
Is there a pool?
Yes, a 20m indoor pool on the lower floors. It has a glass viewing panel in the floor. Check capacity at reception as it can get busy.
How much is parking?
Valet is available (approx £30+), but most guests use the NCP Great Northern car park opposite for around £27.50 per 24 hours.
Is breakfast included?
Not standard. If you don't book a B&B rate, expect to pay ~£20-25 per person. It's a standard English buffet.
Can I open the windows?
No, they are sealed floor-to-ceiling units. The AC is your only source of fresh air.
Is it pet friendly?
No, pets are generally not allowed unless they are service animals.
Поради знавців
- ✨

Use the 'Express Check-out' on the TV or app to avoid the morning queue at the front desk.
- ✨
If the main elevators are gridlocked with bar patrons, ask staff if a service elevator is available (rare, but sometimes an option).
5 речей, які варто знати перед вашим виїздом
💡The 'City Visitor Charge' of £1+VAT is mandatory and added at the end.
💡The building actually creaks audibly in high winds—it's structurally safe but disconcerting.
💡The 'CleanStay' seal on the door is often already broken or missing.
💡You can see into the apartments in the Beetham Tower from some angles (and they can see you).
💡The carpet in the hallways often shows significant wear and tear.
