Top hotels in Gay Village
Britannia Hotel Manchester
Great cheap option for a hotel in the city centre. Perfect setting and drinks were very affordable. Rooms are very loud at night due to it's setting which is unavoidable but maybe some double glazing or draft excluding on windows may help with this

Clayton Hotel Manchester City Centre
Clean room and close to many amenities and friendly and helpful staff

Townhouse Hotel Manchester
It was a good value overnight stay in the city centre. The only letdown was the noise from the road and the pub opposite which wasn't good when you're trying to sleep. We would ask for a different room if we stayed again. Room 106. But otherwise we couldn't fault it.

Velvet Hotel Manchester, WorldHotels Crafted
The room was beautiful and spotless. The free glass of Kylie prosecco on arrival set the mood. The staff were pleasant and helpful. Would definitely stay again and recommend. There was a bit of noise from the street below, but your staying on a party street and that what I expected.
