A central hotel on Sackville Street beside the Gay Village and a short walk from Piccadilly Station.
Pendulum Hotel is a three-star hotel on Sackville Street, Manchester M1 3BB, beside the Gay Village and a short walk from Piccadilly Station in the centre of Manchester, England. The location is convenient for visitors arriving by train, as Piccadilly Station and the tram and bus interchange are within roughly ten minutes on foot. Canal Street, Chinatown, Piccadilly Gardens and the Northern Quarter are all close, and the University of Manchester and Manchester Metropolitan University campuses lie within a short walk to the south.
The hotel is a mid-range property that has long been a familiar part of the Sackville Street area, which sits between the Gay Village and the university district. The atmosphere is relaxed and informal rather than luxurious, and the surroundings are busy with students, office workers and nightlife visitors depending on the time of day. The setting suits travellers who want a central, no-frills base.
Room types include Double rooms, Twin rooms and Triple rooms. Rooms are practical and simple, with Wi-Fi, work space and tea and coffee facilities. Triple rooms offer an affordable choice for small groups and families, and twin rooms are useful for friends or colleagues travelling together. A 24-hour reception supports late arrivals and early departures.
Dining is provided by an on-site restaurant and bar, which serve breakfast and light meals. Breakfast is typically a cooked and continental offering, and the bar gives guests a place to relax before heading out. Chinatown and Canal Street offer many additional restaurants and bars within a few minutes' walk.
The service character is friendly and low key, aimed at leisure travellers, visiting students' families and budget-conscious business guests. Staff can offer advice on the nearby attractions, the tram network and local events. Low-season rates generally run from GBP 65 to 110 per night, and high-season rates from GBP 90 to 150, with higher prices during Manchester Pride and other major events.
