Phoenix Hotel
Victorian rooms with free parking and breakfast
About this hotel
Phoenix Hotel occupies a Victorian building with informal, relaxed rooms rather than a corporate feel, and the free parking here is a genuine draw on a stretch where matchday restrictions can make street parking difficult elsewhere in the neighbourhood. Breakfast and Wi-Fi are included, and the on-site bar gives somewhere to unwind that does not depend on the match itself. The five-minute walk to Sandheys Close puts the surrounding neighbourhood within easy reach, and Prime Hilltop, four minutes away, is a solid option for a proper meal rather than pub food. This is a base suited to fans driving in rather than relying on a direct walk-up to the ground.

Our take
Drivers who want free parking without the matchday scramble, and fans who prefer a characterful Victorian building over a modern chain, will do well here. The included breakfast and on-site bar add real value over a weekend stay. Supporters planning to walk straight to the stadium should check the distance carefully before booking.
- Use the free parking rather than risk matchday restrictions on nearby streets
- Book breakfast the night before on an early kickoff weekend
- Try Prime Hilltop for dinner rather than searching further afield

Why guests love itFree parking made the whole trip easier, we drove in without worrying about matchday restrictions and never had to think about a taxi rank on the way home. The Victorian building had proper character compared with the newer places nearby, and Prime Hilltop down the road gave us a decent dinner without needing to book weeks ahead. A solid, relaxed base for the weekend that we would gladly return to for the next fixture.
