    Places to Stay in Manchester

    Got 2 tickets to see GB vs Senegal at Old Trafford.

    It's a long trek up there for me so will have to spend the night. Anyone recommend somewhere nice to stay - boutique hotel or something along those lines? Doesn't have to be in Manchester - could be somewhere a few miles out. Excuse my ignorance but I'm mid 40s & have never been to Manchester in my entire life

        the vast majority of the hotels in and around the city centre are 'ok'

        you could stay further out - but that will widen the search greatly their are literally thousands of hotels within 1 hours train journey from Manc

        any ideas at all where you are wanting to stay? or is there anything else you are wanting to do except watch the footy?

          Match will finish around 10 pm so it needs to be within 1/2 hour drive of the ground really.

          Will probably spend the next day checking out what the city has to offer before driving back home.

            Dangerous place Manchester. If I was you I'd check this documentary out first before heading up.
            What happens in General, stays in General.
            You know what they say about assumptions!

              lol MF thats not a documentary!!!!!

              Wurzel - do yourself a favour - do not drive! - or if you do do not park near the ground.

              Old Trafford has it's own Train station/tram stop - so park elsewhere and get public transport to the venue...

              and from what you are saying try a city centre hotel.

                Now I have managed to calm down....

                - Hilton on Deansgate (the really tall building)?
                - De Vere in Cheadle (there are two of them)
                - Ramada in Salford Quays

                I think this is where you want to stay though:
                Knutsford Cheshire Luxury Hotels | The Mere Golf Resort & Spa | Hotels in Manchester Area

                Have a look at Salford Quays hotels - some nice walks there and a few decent hotels. (walking distance to OTCG)

                  You want a boutique hotel? Can't beat Didsbury House. Being in Didsbury there is a great cafe culture as well, great food in walking distance. The hotel itself is fantastic, stayed there a number of times.

                  They have another hotel nearby and one in the city which I haven't been to yet. The one in the link before comes very highly recommended...
