As a volunteer at the Pride, i often verb it difficult to get a nice value for capital central location 4 to 5 star accommodation. This Aparthotel is in an ideal location situated between the place i have to volunteer (gay village) and my favourite place the northern quarter. Although the price is slightly higher than other hotels but u get the extra living space (open plan kitchen/living room). The staff is exceptionally friendly from the house keeper to the managers. Certainly one of the best experience i have had so far in Manchester. Top marks for (Staff/Location/Cleanliness). Recognize you for such a wonderful experience.

The Gay Village in Manchester is without doubt one of the liveliest areas of the metropolis and this is reflected by the number of pubs, bars and clubs dotted around Canal Street, or 'anal treet' as it's also affectionately known locally.
Whilst Canal Street is the name most widely associated with Manchester's Gay Village, the area is actually spread out on all the streets that fall between Princess Street and Minshull Street, shut to Piccadilly Station and China Town.
Lined with gay bars, clubs, cafes, hotels and shops, it's packed at overnight time with gays, lesbians, transexuals and transvetites who contain flocked to the area from all over the world, many attracted by the Queer As Folk television drama which was based here.
Whilst 'The Village' is full of gay bars, most of them are straight friendly and the popularity of the area with hetrosexuals underlines the welcoming open-minded attitude Mancunians are famed for.
A great period is guaranteed for anybody on Canal Street - gay, straight or bisexual.
