King Street Townhouse Hotel

We recently stayed at the King Street Townhouse, and overall, it was a great experience, but a few small tweaks could have made it perfect. To start, the welcome at reception wasn’t the warmest. The staff seemed a bit moody, which wasn’t the ideal first impression, but we didn’t let it ruin our stay. On the positive side, the cleanliness was absolutely top-notch—easily a 10/10. The rooms were stunning, with a luxurious bath and incredibly comfy beds. My only gripe was being charged £2.50 for water in the minibar. Most hotels offer water for free, so it felt a bit off, especially since wine or snacks being charged is more understandable. The infinity pool and spa were definite highlights. However, it was disappointing to see that the private time slots they previously had are no longer in place. It was so busy that it took away from the relaxing and exclusive vibe the spa is known for. A bit of a shame, as it’s such a beautiful space. The downstairs bar was excellent, but we were unlucky that the terrace bar was closed during our stay—it’s usually the better spot to unwind. Overall, we had a very enjoyable stay, and the hotel has so much going for it. With just a few small adjustments, it could easily be a 5-star experience. Would definitely recommend it for a visit, especially for the spa and the beautiful rooms!

My husband and I chose King Street Townhouse for our wedding at the end of December. Abigail was our wedding coordinator leading up to the day and she was absolutely fabulous! In touch frequently and managed all of my worries perfectly. We hired the cinema room the night before the wedding, which was a nice touch and great value. Food and drinks were really nice. The actual day of the wedding itself I couldn't have been happier with. The team (big shout to Luis & Tom!) made everything run perfectly. I couldn't have asked for more. If you are considering King Street Townhouse for your wedding, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. The team are generous with drinks - free soft drinks for the children all night which was unexpected and appreciated. So many guests commented on how lovely and intimate the venue was and it was the best wedding they'd been to. Breakfast in our own room with the wedding party the next morning was lovely too. We'll be back for an anniversary visit!

This is undoubtedly one of the finest boutique hotels I have had the pleasure of staying at. Every aspect of the property is immaculate, from the cleanliness of the hotel, rooms, and restaurant to the pool area. The staff are exceptional—polite, attentive, and genuinely warm, creating a welcoming and pleasant atmosphere. The breakfast is outstanding, complemented by a delightful ambiance that enhances the overall experience. While the pricing may seem on the higher side initially, the quality of the facilities and service makes it worth every penny. Truly excellent value for money.

We had our Christmas party on the 13th of December. This is our 4th year celebrating at King Street Townhouse. |We had a fantastic party, everything went smoothly, the food was delicious as always and the staff were professional and made the event enjoyable. Everyone commented about how perfect the day was.|Thank you to Amy for all her hard work organising the event and the staff that hosted the event. From start to finish Amy ensured the booking process, pre-ordering of food and drinks and the table plan, numerous queries were all dealt with in an efficient and timely manner. |We had a few drinks in the hotel bar afterwards which is also lovely.

We recently stayed at king street town house for my husband’s birthday. |This hotel is a gem in the city of Manchester. The charm and character from the lobby into the bedrooms is stunning. |The staff were lovely from the hotel pub to the spa. They couldn’t do enough for you, making sure you had everything you needed.|The bedrooms were delightful. Gorgeous bathrooms, very comfortable beds and spacious. |The pool area was smaller than expected and unfortunately there was no view as the town hall is being renovated but still it was a nice area to chill , with the added touch of having drinks up there! |Location is perfect and you are able to walk to anywhere you need to in the city.|We have stayed at a lot of hotels in Manchester and this one is by far my favourite.|Thanks again for a lovely stay!

Went for the traditional afternoon tea - flavours of each item were intense and distinct. The lounge has a warm atmosphere and cozy seating. Service was welcoming. Would visit again

Everything was amazing! Incredible…|Best hotel I’ve ever stayed in! The room was spotless and very comfortable. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, and the hotel's location was perfect for exploring the city. Best 25th birthday ever thankyou to u all & my boyfriend ❤️

Our Christmas party was held on the 6th floor on Friday 13th December. Amy was amazing from start to finish, always available to answer any questions we had and made sure everything was in place for the night to run smoothly. The staff on the night were incredible too and super attentive! Overall, had a brilliant time and was definitely a night to remember! Thank you so much to everyone at KSTH :)

An iconic hotel in Manchester that has been serving guests from around the world for many decades. It used to be a bank building and since been updated into a charming hotel. Don't expect this place to be cheap but, old world charm never is :-) We stayed here for a night and it was lovely. The room was big with a separate living room and spacious. The room was a bit awkward in that the space was not so well utilized. The bed was super comfortable and came with nice pillows. The bathroom was well stocked and so was the mini bar which was included with the tariff. Hotel staff were lovely and the breakfast service was great. Hot food made to order and good service. All in all a good experience in the heart of the city.

We booked our services to included a LED face mask. Neither of us received the add on. After asking about it-we were told only one therapist was qualified to do the service. So why did neither of us get the add on??? The spa area was dirty: used glasses littering the tables (all the tables), what appeared to be fecal matter on the floor, cracked benches in the salt room and an unusable steam room due to over saturated eucalyptus where you could barely breathe. Locker room laundry bins were overflowing and there was a hole in my robe. Our package included a first course. Unfortunately, the kitchen was under repair and we were told 5 items were unavailable. Basically anything cooked was not being offered-leaving you approx 3 choices. 10/10 don't recommend.

I've been to the King Street Townhouse twice now - once for an event and once from afternoon tea. I haven't stayed over, but know a few people who have, and they were very impressed. The first event was the launch of the PA awards. It was held in the lounge/event space on the South Terrace on the 6th Floor. The lift leads straight to the balcony area and to the room itself. It's a really great space and ideal for a wedding/private gathering of some description. The canapes were really tasty and service attentive. The only downside was the cost of the drinks at the bar, as I thought they were quite steep for Manchester - £11 for a glass of prosecco. At the event, I won the raffle for Champagne Afternoon Tea for two. Of all the prizes I could have won, this was by far the best for me! As it turns out, three of us went for the afternoon tea. They were really helpful when I asked to add a third person to the booking (paying for the extra one of course). On the day itself, the weather was beautiful and they were very accommodating when I asked if we could have it on the terrace, as I thought the view would be impressive for my family. As it was a Friday afternoon, we had the terrace to ourselves for the first hour. My brother went for the Gentleman Jack Afternoon Tea rather than the ladies one my mum and I had as part of the prize. The main difference being that he got savoury bites instead of finger sandwiches and the Gentleman Jack based cocktail rather than champagne - I had a taste and there was some cherry liquer of some description in there. When the cakes came out, he also had a plate of cheese and biscuits and brownies. The finger sandwiches were pretty nice finger sandwiches and standard type of flavours as you'd expect. The star of the first round has to be my brother's savoury bites. I've been to quite a few afternoon teas and have seen a few takes on gentleman's versions but this is the best - there was a scotch egg, mini fish and chips and many other things. We had the alcohol served with the first course. The tea/coffee came with the scones and cakes - I went for camomile tea and it was very delicate and nice. You can ask for it the other way round if you want. The scones were freshly baked and fell apart in our mouths. The clotted cream and jam were good too. The cake selection was good = a mousse type thing in a little shot glass, a lemon macaron, an orange cheesecake and a mini chocolate tart. The chocolate tart was my favourite by far - the pastry was thin and delicate and there was an almondy taste to the whole thing. I also had a taste of my brother's brownie and it was just perfect. We were absolutely stuffed when we left to head over to a concert at the MEN - I think waddling is a more accurate word than walking. It was so nice. The Tavern itself looked very nice and cosy, so I'd like to go back - maybe to have the Afternoon Tea again but downstairs, or for a normal meal. It was nice though having a view and making the most of the unusually nice weather (though it clouded over at the time I took the photo - typical!).

Wow. What can I say? I went here for an afternoon tea with friends, and, let me just say it was perfect. Upon arrival, you're greeted by friendly staff who'll take you to your table in the restaurant area (the furnishings and seats are not only beautiful but also v comfy, we were given a table with a sofa). The service was slick, fast and professional, but also friendly. We ordered three afternoon teas, combining of unlimited tea and coffee, scones with jam and cream, finger sandwiches, and a wide variety of mini sweet treats. From the fresh smoked salmon and cream cheese finger sandwiches, to the delicate pomegranate tartelettes, the food really was delicious. I would definitely recommend this place, an absolute must for anyone wanting to go for afternoon tea in Manchester! I just can't wait to return!

Had a lovely afternoon tea with champagne today... what a hidden gem!! I highly recommend the comfy cozy atmosphere and great food at this lovely place!

Noisy hotel room, air-controller in room not working, South terrace closed for private event. Wouldn't recommend this hotel. I paid a standard rate and requested specifically a quiet room. Receptionist put me into a room facing Booth street. Permanent loud humming noise (from probably an aircon exit from the opposite building) was really annoying and I had to sleep with earplugs. The temperature controller in my room didn't work, I had to ring over 7 times reception to regulate temperature in my room. Bathroom toiletries were already used, they had been opened and were half-full only.
