Great location, right in the center, very nice lady at the reception, a karaoke bar downstairs, the rainbow district and this hotel as well, but the people were not dangerous, nice. Fantastic housemaids who happened to be from Poland, very polite and helpful. I recommend this location and hope to visit again someday.

The room was all dusty and dirty. There was no hot shower or heating, which meant we had to sleep in coats. There is no proper reception so the heating issue couldn’t be reported during the stay. You have to pay £20 deposit for the key, which is a bit ridiculous. The location is great, but that is probably the only benefit

It's a brilliant bar with mostly great staff. Unfortunately we didn't manage to get much sleep as it was like trying to sleep on the dance floor so loud and noisy and music only stopped at 6 am . Staff really unhelpful when asked about the noise ! Really disappointing won't be staying there again!

It’s been twenty years since I visited The New Union! It was always the heart of the Gay village. Unfortunately it is not no more 😢 It feels more like an old mans heterosexual public house. Absolutely heartbreaking to see. Different owners, and the stage and dance floor area locked off in the daytime with metal shutters- and a snooker table put up in place of the locked up dance floor section. The end of an era for The New Union. Unfriendly staff, smashed lights above the bar, and a very dark gloomy and smelling of damp seating area. I don’t know what this place is now, but it’s not The Union. I went here every weekend from the age of eighteen until I was about thirty five. It was brilliant - always a banging night out. RIP - The New Union..

I always like the union. Though it doesn't really get going until late at night, with the early hours of the morning being the key time. I loved the shows and the dancing. I briefly chatted to a few people here, which was nice, though i do think mostly, people keep themselves to themselves in most bars in Manchester now. Still one of my go to venues in the village.

We popped in for a pint while staying over night in Manchester, and we really enjoyed our visit. The staff were welcoming and beer was good, will definitely visit again!

The iconic New Union, the first bar you see when entering the vilage from the Oxford Road Atrain station end of town. Close to all the other bars and actually on Canal Street itself, this bar holds memories when Canal Street was booming and growing and everything was exciting. Unfortunately The New Union hasn't managed to keep up with the rest of the street either with effort or investment. It's a shadow of its former self when it was packed every weekend and hosted by the Famous Roxy Heart. The service by the staff was quick and friendly, as always, and drinks no more expensive than anywhere else. But the area we sat in wasn't very appealing, surrounded by flies on the wall near the games machines that sat unused. The customers were of an older base and it felt more like a locals hang out than the vibrant exciting place it once was. It needs reinventing and investment, but who can really afford that these days. I've not seen it busy here for years, unfortunately. I used to love it here.

The girl on the front door was rude on the 26th was rude and disrespectful as soon as I walked through the door making a comment about my gender. She has black hair and is quite young and was really discriminating. I won’t be coming back until this is dealt with.

Great pub/club for end of the night . Fri/Sat open til 7am ! During the day has a pool table and punching machine . At night has a DJ and space at the back for seating . Prices can be a little high but thats expected on canal street. Very close to lots of other bars including others open til the early morning such as , Cruz101 and Satans

It's not only a hotel, but also a lovely place when you're waiting for a train or bus. Delicious cold beer, a lovely singing bartender and a pool table. A perfect place not only for a party, but also - as was my case - to kill time :-)

The room and the service they provide are very good. The only bad thing is that there is a bowling alley 10 meters away and you can hear a lot of noise from people going. That's why I lower the score, beyond the fact that the location is central and that is great.

The location is excellent. The bar on the first floor will be noisy until early morning, making it impossible to sleep. Wearing earplugs doesn't help either Wouldn't recommend this place if you are someone who wants to sleep at night.

The place is ok, in a good central location. However it should be advertised that it is on top of the pub and the music will be sounding until 6 am. I love the idea of a refurbished toilet in a wardrobe!!

Very noisy! Don’t stay here if you want a quiet sleep. The bar downstairs was playing music until the early hours. I tried to get to sleep but I found myself singing along to Whitney Houston at 5am. The rooms are ok and it is well priced.

Fantastic café to visit if you’re either going to get some food, have a coffee or get some work done! The coffee is by far some of the best in Manchester with a good variety of coffee on the menu to meet all different preferences and tastes. Staff are fast, helpful and friendly which makes the whole experience a great one!
