This hotel is a decent place to stop over if you're not expecting anything fancy. Its clean with a good bed and modern bathrooms. The hotel in general needs upgrading and is very dated but they have gotten the basics right if you just want somewhere clean and cheap to stay.

My wife and I went to The Bower Hotel for a meal to celebrate my birthday. The menu presented a more than adequate range of choices. The food was excellent and well presented and served efficiently by the staff. We had previously visited this establishment for Afternoon Tea which was one of the best we have experienced. We thought it... More

We used the Bower for three nights as a base when visiting family in the locality. It was easy to find after leaving the motorway and well positioned for getting away. We had a clean comfortable quiet room, with a good bed and spacious bathroom in which the water ran and flushed silently. The hotel was continuously busy with weddings... More

I stayed three nights. Despite some building work it was nice and quiet. Room was large and modern. Everything seemed to work fine, including the trouser press. Can't comment on the breakfast or restaurant as I called round to family. But it was only £55 a night, a bargain. Seems popular for weddings.

Our party of 8 booked our Grand National Weekend with Newmarket Holidays which of course included the tickets for the race meeting and a coach transfer to and from Halifax and on Sunday morning included a trip to Chester which was all excellent. After the race meeting we went back to The Bower Hotel in Oldham. We arrived and at... More

Dear Mr Nichols It gives me the upmost concern to hear of the service you received at the hotel. As you can see from previous comments this is not the standard we deliver at The Bower Hotel Our Reservations team coordinated the check in for the coaches. Which as you agree was very well organized. Our Restaurant strives on the... More

We have just returned from a weekend in Mancehster. We stayed at The Bower Hotel rather than in the city centre and feel we made the right choice. Most of the staff were extremely helpful and friendly. The food was excellent, we booked under the special Half Board offer which was very good value. We had a great choice of... More

I highly recommend the Afternoon Tea at The Bower. Beautiful meringues, cakes and sponges all made on the premises. Good choice of sandwiches. Staff are absolutely lovely, nothing is too much trouble. They are having a refurb and when done it will rival all local competitors in the AfternoonTea stakes. You can also pop in for a coffee/tea and don't... More
