Bowdon Hotel reviews

I hadnt realised that i would have to drive to park the car a considerable distance fromthe hotel at 2 am it wasnt too bad but with traffic would have takne longer The hotel was as far from the airport on on e side as the parking was on the opposite side.

big family room just right for our needs. carpark was close to airport much better then what we thought we would get. will do same again next year.

Hotel was very good value for money but was expecting to park at the hotel not travel the next morning for half hour to secure parking that was not what I was led to beleive

Good deal financially. 25 mins drive from the hotel to the car park. Leaflet the hotel gave us had the wrong 0800 phone no. to call the car park on return from our holiday. Short walk into Hale, which has a variety of places to eat, newsagent etc. 5 mins drive to Tesco Extra in Altrincham to stock up with anything forgotten to pack! Had to carry suitcases up two flights of stairs - no lift.

The only thing that spoiled the hotel was the smell of previous users cigarettes. They also forgot to give us an early morning call, good job we had set our own alarm! No lift at the hotel. The price for the combination of the hotel and 14 days parking at AirParks was excellent. Directions to hotel and then to Air Parks and from Air Parks home where very good.

hotel was comfortable and clean nice gym pool staff frendly bed was a bit tatty and no free tv at all(bbc/itv ect)not good with 2 children oh'no no tv 5.99 for a movie mmm ,offerd late check out untill 2pm for 15 quid maybe a bit steep for 3 hours but usefull if you need it. thay offer parking at the hotel but this was full so we had off site parking at airparks i feel this was much better, hotel parking appeard not very secure, airparks staff very frendly and helpfull offered a meet and greet service for 20 quid along with other services valeting ect which was well woth it, car at airport carpark when you land didnt have to leave the termanal building brill no bus transfer to the airparks super when you had a long day traveling with a load of bags and 2 toddlers . over all a good experiance

If you would like me to elaborate on my stay at this hotel please do phone me on 01228543332 or 07802190364 and I will explain why I will never book this Hotel again. Regards Mr Alfie Blaylock.

Hotel did not have any record of our booking when we arrived and had to take copies of ours. We were concerned with reviews about car security but we had no problems.

very efficient booking in procedure. room was clean and spacious. breakfast was lovely but extra, worth the money though. taxi to and from the airport was

We had booked a triple room for ourselves and our daughter which consisted of 2 double beds. The room although quite dated was very spacious and had more than adequate space. The leisure centre was excellent and had a jacuzzi right at the side of the pool which meant I could relax in there while my daughter was in the pool!! The only problem we had was a delay in getting to the airport the following morning. Roadworks and the rush hour meant it took us 3 times more than the recommended so if we did it again it would be well worth setting off earlier! The airport car park the hotel used also took longer than expected and dropped us off at terminal 1 so we had to run all the way to terminal 2! Overall though the hotel was brilliant even though the rooms were old fashioned they were clean and very big and the leisure centre was lovely. The food in the restaurant was excellent too but it was quite expensive and the drinks were very expensive. I would definitely stay here again but would set off for the airport earlier!

Impression was overall fair to good, as I say the rooms felt a bit tired and on the small side. A major drawback was that there were signs outside the hotel telling patrons not to leave anything in the car. We (four of us) had all our holiday luggage which we brought in but were forced to carry upstairs as there was no lift. To be fair, one particularly heavy suitcase was put in a room downstairs and locked. However I had the impression this was not normal practice but credit to the employee for maintaining good customer relations.

It was not the easiest or friendliest hotel i have used, there was no where to sit for a drink prior to our meal and very limited menu was available I was not aware when booking that we had to travel to park our car , the reason we booked a hotel was to prevent having to drive anywhere on the morning of our flight. We do not know the area and the journey at 6am in the morning in the dark and the rain was not very pleasant . Your clients should be made aware of the fact that they have to take their car to secure parking prior to taking the booking. I would certainly not book this again

we stayed at the quality hotel for one night and we had to take the car to airparks.it was 4 0 clock in the morning we went to park the car a long way out and the directions wernt right.never again will we stay there,or park the car at airparks.we also paid an extra £20 for them to bring the car to meet you at the airport,so you dont have to go another 25mins out of your way,our car was not waiting for us they had got the dates of return wrong.not very happy never again.

Hotel parking full for duration of holiday so had to transfer to nominated secure car park. This car park on other side of airport to hotel so added another 40 minutes to transfer time. Local roads congested during rush hours again adding to problem.

Picture of hotel room on internet was very different to the actual room (not a good thing). Room and bathroom were both rather shabby. Also, when phoning hotel for help with directions, staff had no idea about the area and no-one could help us.

Hotel :- very clean & friendly/helpfull Airport pickup :- you really want a pickup at your terminal when arriving,not having to cross from one terminal to another with heavy cases.

Absolutely dire experience, room awfull, restaurant closed so only bar snack offered and that was inedible. Had to haggle to leave car at the hotel, they wanted us to drive back from where we had just come, to leave in compound and get shuttle bus (allow 50mins)no point staying in hotel then. Cancelled booking for room on return, stung for £15.00 cancellation fee. Website totally misleading. NEVER again.

We never actually slept in the room as it was both dirty and very very hot and chose to leave for the airport 5 hours early, i would not recommend you sleeping at this place. also their is no lifts so moving bagage up and down stairs was heavy going and i hurt my self on the door leaving the place trying to negotiate door and baggage. I would not recommend the hotel full stop but the car parking was very profesional.

Hotel was really awful. All aspects of parking was great and the pick up service was first class.

It was cheap but for a 3 star hotel the room was smelly, beds were like pallet boxes. My daughter had nails sticking out of her bed. It needs a revamp and I wouldnt stay there again. Parking was okay but it was terrible how far you have to pull your cases to the arrivals hall, it must be a good mile. Coming back we were dreading having to get all the way back to the station to get the bus back to the car park. It might have been cheap but in future I would rather pay a bit more and have a Hotel and parking at a better standard. It is true the saying you get what you pay for.
