Finding a hotel room in Manchester for a family of 5 or more can be hard work. But good news—Hyatt House Manchester offers a smart solution for larger families, with spacious rooms, a proper breakfast, and even cooking facilities. I stayed recently and did some hands-on checking to see if it’s worth recommending to families who need space, flexibility, and comfort. Look also at our previous article on the benefits of Hyatt Houses in general.
Room Layout
The family-sized option at Hyatt House Manchester is cleverly formed by linking a Standard Studio King with a One-Bedroom Suite. This gives you two connected rooms with plenty of space—and best of all, two bathrooms, which makes mornings and bedtimes much easier when you’re travelling as a group.
The room setup officially sleeps:
2 adults and 3 children under 12
1 adult and 4 children under 12
Or up to 4 adults
Even better, these rooms are bookable directly online—no need to call or work around clunky booking systems.
Kitchen Setup
Each individual room at Hyatt House includes a fully equipped kitchenette, so your family suite comes with two kitchen areas. That means:
Two fridges
Two dishwashers
Two microwaves
Two coffee machines
Cookware, cutlery, and plates—all included
This is a big plus if you want the option to cook a few meals, especially with younger kids or on longer stays. There’s also a self-service laundry room on-site if you’re staying multiple nights.
Location
Hyatt House is based on the University of Manchester campus, slightly outside the city centre. Expect a 25–30 minute walk to Piccadilly Station or central attractions. Buses run from the end of the road, and taxis are always an option—but note it’s not on the tram network.
The upside? It’s a quieter, more relaxed area, with green space nearby and a university-town vibe. If you’re driving, you’ll need to use a nearby secure public car park at a fixed rate of £16.50 per 24 hours—there’s no on-site parking.
Breakfast
Breakfast is a big bonus at Hyatt House. It’s included for all guests—and far more than the typical “continental” setup. Think hot options, fresh fruit, pastries, cereals, and more. Because Hyatt House shares facilities with the neighbouring Hyatt Regency, you benefit from a higher-quality breakfast than you’d usually find in long-stay hotels.
Final Thoughts
For families needing space, flexibility, and a decent breakfast to start the day, Hyatt House ticks more boxes than you’d expect. While the location isn’t bang in the centre, the combination of space, cooking options, and that bonus of two bathrooms makes it a strong pick.
Other Options for Families of 5+ in Manchester
