City centre comfort with easy transport to the Etihad
About this hotel
Staying at the Premier Inn on Princess Street places you right in the heart of Manchester, a convenient spot for exploring the city before heading to the Etihad Stadium. Public transport links are excellent, with a tram stop just a 5-minute walk away, connecting you directly to the stadium without the hassle of driving through match-day traffic. The hotel’s informal restaurant and bar provide a relaxed setting for a pre-match meal or a post-game drink. Rooms are straightforward and comfortable, designed for a good night's sleep, whether you're with family or on a solo trip. After the final whistle, returning to the city centre is simple, allowing you to enjoy the evening atmosphere or head straight back to a quiet room.

Our take
I would choose the Princess Street Premier Inn for a straightforward match weekend in the middle of Manchester. The rooms are plain but rated well, the restaurant and bar mean you do not have to go far to eat, and parking helps if you drive in. The transport stop is about five minutes on foot, so the Etihad Stadium is a ride rather than a walk.
- Use the public transport links from Chester Street (Stop C) for a stress-free journey to the Etihad Stadium.
- Book parking in advance if you're driving, as city centre spaces can fill up quickly on match days.
- Explore the city centre before the game; you're well-placed for shops, restaurants, and attractions.
