CitySuites Two Aparthotel

Manchester, United Kingdom
$130-220/ night

Book this if You want a sleek, self-sufficient apartment that feels like a high-end home base, not just a hotel room.

Why People Love It

  • Full kitchens and laundry in-unit make long stays a breeze
  • The 18m indoor pool and jacuzzi are genuine luxuries for this price point
  • Location is dead central—steps from Manchester Cathedral and Victoria Station

Quick Take: It's a glossy, modern apartment building masquerading as a hotel—great for independence, bad if you need your hand held.

Reviewed by @ZahraG: I stayed at CitySuites in Manchester and honestly, it was amazing. My studio was super cozy, but the best part was having the pool and jacuzzi literally to ourselves. The lobby is also a total vibe for working or taking photos. Solid 8/10 experience.

Guest Who Stayed Here Said

The hype

Travelers love the spacious, modern design and the pool, but often find the mattresses surprisingly hard.

Reality check

The 'city view' is lovely, but lower floors on the railway side suffer from train noise.

  • You're staying for more than a weekend and need to do laundry
  • You prefer cooking your own healthy breakfast over a greasy hotel buffet
  • You're a business traveler who needs a proper desk and fast Wi-Fi (500+ Mbps)

Cleanliness & Maintenance

8.5
  • Housekeeping: Generally excellent on arrival, but remember: no daily service for short stays.
  • Bathroom hygiene: Sparkling clean, modern grout, and high-end White Company toiletries.
  • Maintenance: Modern building (2021), so wear is minimal, though some scuffs on walls are reported.
  • Linens & towels: Crisp Egyptian cotton sheets, though towels can feel a bit 'scratchy' or standard hotel grade.
  • Odors & scents: Fresh and neutral in rooms; occasional complaints of damp/musty smell in the steam room area.
