Staycity Aparthotels Manchester Piccadilly Overview

First Impressions

Walking into Staycity Aparthotels Manchester Piccadilly feels like discovering one of those rare finds that actually lives up to its reputation. The four-star property sits right in Gateway House, and honestly, you couldn’t ask for a better spot in Manchester. I mean, when couples are rating the location 9.7 out of 10, you know something special is happening here. The lobby has this modern, welcoming vibe that immediately tells you they’ve thought about every detail — not flashy, just really well done.

Location & Getting Around

Here’s what I love about this place — you’re literally in the heart of everything, but it doesn’t feel chaotic. Piccadilly Station is practically on your doorstep, which means you can hop on a train to anywhere in the UK without breaking a sweat. The Northern Quarter’s buzzing nightlife is a short walk away, and if you’re into shopping, the Arndale Centre is right there. What really surprised me though was how quiet it stays despite being so central — the room design really blocks out the city noise.

The Apartment Experience

This isn’t your typical hotel setup, and that’s exactly why it works so well. Each apartment comes with a proper kitchen that’s actually functional — I’m talking full-size fridge, microwave, and enough counter space to prepare real meals. The beds are genuinely comfortable (and I’m picky about mattresses), which explains why guests keep raving about the sleep quality. You’ve got plenty of space to spread out, decent storage, and those little touches like good lighting that make you feel settled rather than just passing through.

Practical Perks

One thing that caught my attention — they’ve got private parking on site, which is honestly a game-changer in Manchester city center. You know how stressful it can be driving into a busy city and wondering where you’ll leave your car? Problem solved. The staff seems to really know their stuff too, and there’s something to be said for a place that attracts so many repeat guests. When people keep coming back, it usually means they’re doing the fundamentals really well.

Why Guests Love It

What strikes me most about this place is how it manages to feel both professional and homey at the same time. You get the independence of having your own space with the kitchen and everything, but you also have the backup of hotel services when you need them. The location score of 9.7 isn’t just a number — it reflects how easy this place makes exploring Manchester, whether you’re here for business meetings in the city center or planning to catch a show in the theater district. It’s one of those properties that just makes sense, especially if you’re staying more than a night or two and want to actually live in the city rather than just visit it.

  • Hailwood from United Kingdom (9/10)

    Was upgraded to 2 bedroom apartment. Reception staff helped us get best price on parking

  • Glynn from United Kingdom (9/10)

    The reception staff were so helpful when I arrived I couldn’t find the way into the car park, after a short phone call one of the staff ran through Piccadilly station to find me jumped in the car and directed me safely to the private carpark. I’m disabled and have to send a special thanks to Stewart who could not have been more understanding and helpful. I wanted to get an early start the day of departure but as the weather had been freezing my battery was flat, Stewart not only arranged for the AA to come but got some of regular customers who were obviously friends ( not surprising)to give me a jump start , saving me an hour and a half wait. Excellent above and beyond service from a member of staff dedicated to helping guests naturally good at his job !
