via Stay22About this place REM Hotel
REM Hotel sits smack in the middle of Manchester's Gay Village, on Canal Street, a hotel that doesn't just put you up but gives you a place to drink and hang out too.
There's a regular bar, plus a showbar with entertainment most nights. You're right in the thick of it, so if you're here for the LGBTQ+ scene, you don't have to go far to find it. Or, for that matter, to avoid it.
The Gay Village itself is one of the UK's oldest and most established LGBTQ+ neighborhoods. Staying at REM puts you right there among the bars, clubs, and restaurants, but also gives you an easy out with the hotel's own entertainment. Step outside, though, and you're in the thick of everything the Village has to offer.
Getting around is simple enough: Manchester Piccadilly Rail Station is a five-minute walk. So whether you're in for a weekend, Pride, or just to check out Manchester's queer culture, this is a pretty handy spot in one of the city's most colorful areas.

The only good thing about this place is if you're one of the drunks partying until 5am. The photos don't match the rooms at all; no head board, no pillows (only 2 small pillows) no cleanliness (no wallpaper, dirty carpet, damaged windows), and no wall hook (broken, on the floor). Also, there are 2 night establishments (a club/closes at 5am and a bar/closes at 3am) right below the hotel. So forget about getting any sleep. The floor was literally rumbling from the night club on the second floor.
Nice bar
If you're looking for a place to sleep, forget about it. The rooms are on the second floor, above a nightclub, and the music is blasting until 5 am. It's impossible to sleep. The bathroom is shared, outside the rooms. The neighborhood is nice, close to everything, but I wouldn't return because of the unbearable noise.
Stayed overnight, never again. The room wasn’t big enough to swing a cat in, decor grubby. Windows old and flaky paint, carpet dirty. Found a half eaten kebab in the mini fridge, and an opened bottle of someone else’s water on arrival. Socket point not working. The bathroom ( down a grubby corridor ) smelt of sewage when you flushed the toilet, and other male guests thought it ok to take a pee with the door wide open! No hand towels in the toilet to wash/dry your hands. The mattress was solid and felt like sleeping on a piece of wood. Horrendous. The music from downstairs bars ( 2 of them ) was deafening in our room, and went on into early hours of morning ? 3am. Revellers from the night before still congregating outside, very loudly, as dawn broke at 5 am. . Didn’t sleep a wink. Worst place I’ve ever stayed in, and they had the audacity to charge £80 for the night. 😡
Friendly, good atmosphere nice bar
The location is sweet. You can enter at the time that you want. The bed is okay and you have to share a bathroom.. Commun soap like in a gym could be add. Thank you but there a lot of work that can be done :)
