Our take
This hotel is ideal for fans who prefer a more upscale city centre experience with easy access to public transport for match days. It suits those who appreciate a lively atmosphere in the hotel's bar and restaurant, and value a complimentary breakfast. While not a walk to the stadium, the excellent tram links make getting to and from the Etihad straightforward. It's also a great choice for concert-goers or anyone looking to explore Manchester's cultural attractions, with the Manchester Art Gallery just a 7-minute walk away. Light sleepers might want to consider rooms away from the bar area on busy nights.
- Use the Charlotte Street tram stop, just a 4-minute walk away, for direct and easy access to the Etihad Stadium.
- Take advantage of the complimentary breakfast, especially on early kick-off days, to fuel up before heading out.
- Explore the city centre on foot from here; many attractions like the Manchester Art Gallery are within a short walk.
