Modern, trendy, apartment style hotel, the rooms have fully functioning kitchens and are spacious enough so you can spread your things out. If you book on their website and become a member you will get an immediate 10% discount.

Customers tend to be younger profile, tourists and business people. It is not a traditional girls hotel but it is just a 2 minute walk to Canal Street in sensible heels so it really should be.

You will have to walk past reception and go up a short flight of stairs to leave the hotel but the reception is rarely busy and the staff are young and trans/non-binary aware. Princess Street can be busy with both traffic and pedestrians, that might be challenging for shy or nervous girls but I am always wandering up and down that street and I never get issues so if you can, take a deep breath, put your sass on and go for it.

There is convenient parking at Q-Park Piazza under the Novotel in St. James Street, sat nav M1 4LX and you can prebook online at www.q-park.co.uk/en-gb/cities/manchester/piazza

Walking to Canal Street you turn right out of the hotel to go down Princess Street, you immediately come to the traffic lights with Portland Street, cross over to continue down Princess street and after 1 minute you will see the New Union on your left which is the start of Canal Street.
