    To be honest we wasn’t expecting it to be so nice, the place is decorated nicely, the bar downstairs was lovely too. The beds were comfy and clean. The staff were welcoming.

    Located a few blocks away from the main train station, New Union's facilities are perfect if you wanna enjoy Manchester and its nightlife. The bed was comfy, as much as the bathroom. The accent a bit hard to understand but I'd be glad to have...

Robert
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.
