Its location is very close to the city center/train station/coach station. It was the first time I stayed in somewhere which was very local. I like the building of the hotel and the pub downstairs.

Mingying United Kingdom

- convenient location - very friendly staff - decent room - like a budget hotel with a sufficient room size and bed

Patrick United Kingdom

The room is clean and rather spacious considering its price, the receptionist lady is very welcoming and supportive, and the hotel is located at the heart of the city with only 5 mins walk to the railway station and O2 Ritz and close to other places too, very convenient.

Wanhua United Kingdom

Great location, welcoming staff, pretty cool to stay above a bar. Originally was nervous about the bar being loud, but I barely actually heard downstairs. Had no trouble sleeping whatsoever. Really nice interior, very modern bathroom, and it was convenient to be so close to nightlife AND the train station!

The New Union Hotel dates back to 1865. The stained glass windows depict countries in the Commonwealth giving the bar it's original name 'The Union'. The rooms are above the bar and nightclub - perfect for those who want to party!
I love the museums, shops and restaurants that are a short walk away and the Palace theatre is only round the corner.
Just on the edge of the gay village in Manchester city centre, the venue is 4 minutes walk to Manchester coach station, 6 minutes walk to Oxford Road railway station and 9 minutes walk to Piccadilly railway station.
