Parking & getting to CitySuites

We have no parking on-site for CitySuites and CitySuites II. The nearest car park is Q-Park Deansgate North, postcode M3 7WJ, just next door to us. Discounted parking is charged at £18 for 24 hours and your ticket will be validated on check in.

Please follow these directions to the Q-Park, collect a ticket and on arrival at CitySuites, let a member of our reception team know and they will arrange payment for you.

Please follow the address below:

Q-Park Deansgate North, 2 Chapel Street, Manchester, M3 7WJ.

A new traffic system is currently in place around CitySuites aparthotel. Updated directions to our car park can be found here.

Please note that the car park shutters are closed by default - you need to drive up to the shutters and they will automatically open for you.

If you’ve booked your parking through us in Q-Park Deansgate North, please inform reception when checking out. One of our helpful concierge team will come over to the car park with you and let you out. 

If you need to come and go during your stay, please inform reception when you need letting out of the car park. Upon your return, please collect a new ticket which will be validated again by reception. You won't need to pay anything extra. 

The most convenient way to get to CitySuites would be to arrange a taxi on arrival at Manchester Airport.

Alternatively, you can get a direct train from Manchester Airport to Manchester Victoria Railway Station which is only a few minutes' walk from CitySuites. The train journey takes around 30 minutes and regular trains run on average 35 times a day. The journey time may be longer on weekends or Bank Holidays. You can also choose to get the train to Piccadilly Railway Station and use the free bus towards Spinningfields.

CitySuites II is just next door to our original aparthotel, so there is one car park for both buildings: Q-Park Deansgate North. 

Please follow these directions to the carpark. The ticket validation process is the same for both CitySuites and CitySuites II - just show your ticket to reception on arrival and they will validate your parking for you.

Pre-authorisations are a global standard practice in hotels. Upon check-in, we will use a valid credit or debit card to take a pre-authorisation deposit. The money will not actually leave the account, but the funds will be unavailable to access and may appear as a "pending" transaction. After check-out, the money is automatically released and returned to the account.

We take a pre-authorisation to cover any incidentals or damages, including odour removal, deep clean, and loss of income incurred if the apartment has to be put out of service. 

We apologise that your preauthorisation is taking longer than expected.

If you are concerned, please send a screenshot to reservations@citysuites.com of the pending or settled transaction for £100.00 / £200.00 from CitySuites Operating Company for pre-authorisation & we can investigate further.

If you do not have a pending or settled transaction, the pre-authorisation has already been released back to your account.

Yes, if you are booking 3+ rooms, we require a deposit of £100 per room per night. This will then be refunded in full to the card it is taken from once the apartment has been inspected for damages. 

Unfortunately, we no longer accept American Express as a form of payment. We accept all other major credit and debit cards.
