Serviced apartments

Serviced apartments in Manchester, booked direct.

Eight apartments and houses across the city, all run by us rather than listed on our behalf. Full kitchens, proper beds, weekly cleaning by our own team, and no booking fee because you are booking with the operator.

A serviced apartment is a private flat with its own kitchen and bathroom, serviced like a hotel room but without the hotel. For anything beyond two or three nights it usually works out cheaper, and for a group or a family it is rarely close.

Why an apartment

An apartment beats a hotel room from about the third night.

Not for a single night. A hotel is simpler for that. The maths turns somewhere around night three, and keeps turning the longer you stay.

A kitchen you would actually use

Real pots and pans, a dishwasher, decent knives, tea and coffee in. Not a plastic kettle and two mugs. Breakfast at home for a family of four is the single biggest saving on a longer stay.

One apartment instead of several rooms

A group of six in one apartment with a living room, rather than three hotel rooms and a lobby to meet in. This is where the cost difference stops being marginal.

Laundry on site

Barely matters for a weekend. Matters a great deal on a three-week contract, and it is the thing long-stay guests mention most often.

Space to work

High-speed internet everywhere, a desk and dedicated workspace at selected properties. Tell us if you need one and we will match you to a property that has it.

Self check-in, any hour

A door code sent before you arrive. Land late or start early without working around a reception desk.

Cheaper booked direct

Around 10% below the same apartment on Airbnb, because there is no platform commission in the price. Stays of 28 nights or more get a further reduction.

Where they are

Four parts of Manchester, four different trips.

Where you stay changes the trip more than which apartment you pick. Here is the honest version of each.

Chinatown, M1

Dead centre. You can walk to Piccadilly, Spinningfields, the Northern Quarter and the Arena. Five apartments in one building, from two beds sleeping five to a three-bed penthouse sleeping eight. This is the right base for a city break, a concert, a conference at Manchester Central, or a work trip where you want to walk to everything.

Hulme, M15

A three-bed house ten minutes from the centre with free off-street parking, which is harder to find than it sounds in Manchester. Suits a group of eight who want a house rather than a flat, and anyone driving in.

Rolls Crescent →

Old Trafford, M16

Four bedrooms, sleeps ten, free parking, and walking distance to the football and the cricket. Built for groups: stag and hen weekends, match days, families travelling together, and project teams who want one roof rather than four hotel rooms.

St Johns Manor →

Droylsden, M43

A three-bed semi east of the city, quieter and more residential. The one to take if you are relocating, working a longer contract, or simply want somewhere that feels like a house rather than a city-centre flat.

Common questions

What people ask before booking.

What is a serviced apartment?

A private, self-contained flat or house with its own kitchen and bathroom, serviced like a hotel room. You get the space and independence of a flat with the cleaning, linen and support of a hotel. No shared facilities, no reception, no set breakfast time.

Is a serviced apartment cheaper than a hotel in Manchester?

For one night, usually not, and a hotel is simpler. From around the third night the cost of eating out three times a day starts to outweigh the difference in nightly rate. For groups it is rarely close: one apartment sleeping eight against three or four hotel rooms is a different order of cost.

Can I book for one night?

Minimum stays vary by property and by date. Check your dates on any property page and it will tell you. Weekends around major events usually carry a two-night minimum.

Do you offer long stays and monthly rates?

Yes. Stays of 28 nights or more get a reduced rate automatically when you book direct, and monthly invoicing is available. Relocations, contracts and insurance placements are a large part of what we do.

Is parking included?

Rolls Crescent in Hulme and St Johns Manor in Old Trafford both have free off-street parking. The Chinatown apartments do not have on-site parking, but there is paid parking nearby and we send the details before you arrive. If parking is essential, say so and we will match you accordingly.

Is it cheaper to book direct than on Airbnb?

Yes, by roughly 10%, because there is no platform commission in the price. You are booking with the people who run the apartments, so if something needs sorting during your stay you are speaking to us rather than a messaging system.
