Budget-friendly base with easy transport to Etihad Stadium
About this hotel
Staying at the ibis budget Manchester Centre Pollard Street puts you in a practical spot for match days at the Etihad. While not right on the stadium's doorstep, the hotel offers excellent public transport links, with a stop just a two-minute walk away that connects you directly to the ground. This means you can avoid the pre-match traffic and enjoy a stress-free journey to the game. After the final whistle, returning is just as straightforward, allowing you to unwind in your simple, air-conditioned room. The 24-hour snack shop is a handy feature for late-night cravings or an early start, and there's a restaurant on-site for more substantial meals. Free Wi-Fi keeps you connected, whether you're checking scores or planning your next move in Manchester.

Our take
My pick for fans who want a low-cost bed with reliable transport to the Etihad Stadium. Rooms are basic but air-conditioned, Wi-Fi is free, and the 24-hour snack shop helps after a late final whistle. The public transport stop two minutes away is the real asset here. It has no match-day bar of its own, so I would look elsewhere if the pre-match atmosphere matters more to you than keeping costs down.
- Use the public transport stop just two minutes away to get to the Etihad Stadium quickly and avoid traffic.
- Take advantage of the 24-hour snack shop for any late-night munchies after a game or concert.
- If you're bringing a pet, confirm the hotel's pet policy when booking to ensure a smooth stay.

Why guests love itAir-conditioned rooms, free Wi-Fi and a 24-hour snack shop make the ibis budget Manchester Centre Pollard Street a simple base for families on a match trip, handy for late returns after an evening kick-off. Breakfast is served for a fee, and there is an on-site restaurant. A public transport stop sits two minutes away on foot, so I would plan the ride to the Etihad Stadium rather than the walk.
