The Spotlight on ibis budget Manchester Centre Pollard Street

Affordable, Modern Comfort Near Manchester’s Music Scene

Modern and budget-friendly, ibis budget Manchester Centre Pollard Street offers a convenient base just one mile from central Manchester and close to the Etihad Stadium. With clean, stylish "cocoon-style" rooms, free Wi-Fi, and a casual vibe, it’s ideal for concert-goers wanting a simple, comfortable stay without breaking the bank.
Each soundproof room comes with a private bathroom, air conditioning, and a flat-screen TV, plus the hotel boasts a 24-hour front desk and a casual snack bar.

Why Concert-goers love it

Being just a 10-minute walk from Manchester Piccadilly Station and the Sportcity complex means you're never far from the city's top venues. The soundproof rooms offer a peaceful night's sleep even after a loud gig, and the 24/7 reception means you can check in late without a worry. Plus, late check-out at 12:00 PM lets you sleep in after a night of music and fun.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends needing an affordable, central spot
  • Solo travelers ticking off bucket-list concerts
  • Couples making a weekend of it
  • Fans wanting a quieter, soundproof retreat after the show
  • Budget-conscious music lovers looking to save for merch and drinks

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no full-service restaurant onsite, the 24-hour snack bar has you covered for quick bites. A continental buffet breakfast (available for a small fee) is perfect for refueling after a late night. Plus, a wide range of bars and restaurants are just a 15–20 minute walk away.

Nightlife Options

Though there’s no live music onsite, you’re within easy reach of Manchester’s buzzing nightlife, from classic pubs and cocktail lounges to nightclubs. You’ll also find low-key hotel bars nearby if you’re after a chill drink before or after the concert.

What People Say

Guests love the hotel's excellent value for money, friendly staff, and spotlessly clean rooms. Many highlight the great location for concerts and events, particularly at the nearby Etihad Stadium and city centre venues. The simple but comfy rooms are often praised for being exactly what budget travelers need.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that the rooms are on the smaller side, and the minimalist amenities may not suit those seeking a luxury stay. Also, while walkable, some visitors noted that the surrounding area feels a little quiet at night.

The Bottom Line

If you're looking for a smart, affordable stay close to Manchester’s top music venues, ibis budget Manchester Centre Pollard Street hits all the right notes.

Ann Marie, Knaphill, Woking, visiting Co-op Live Manchester Wed, 22 May 2024

Lovely hotel and room. They gave me a kettle as none in room. The staff were so helpful and friendly. If Barry Manilow comes back to Manchester, this is the hotel I will book.

Liked: The staff were friendly and very helpful.
Disliked: Could hear doors slamming at night.

Poor - 1.0 out of 5

Claire B, Leek, visiting Co-op Live Manchester Sun, 5 May 2024

If you can hire a tent or caravan do so instead of staying here!

Liked: Nothing was good!
Disliked: The room was too small. The toilet was in a cupboard. The shower was in the bedroom with no privacy (no bathroom). I booked to include breakfast but were told that only breakfast for 1 was included, even though room was booked for 3. I believe price was hiked owing to a concert supposingly taking place.

Fine for one night

Liked: It was perfectly adequate for one night and the staff were friendly. Location handy to food and the inner city.
Disliked: The toilet in a cupboard, at least that's what it felt like. The air conditioner was noisy and couldn't be controlled. Didn't like having the basin in the room.
