Write a review
Modern, affordable, and buzzing with energy, Ibis Manchester Centre 96 Portland Street puts you right in the heart of Manchester's city center. With a lively atmosphere, 24-hour front desk, and stylish rooms featuring free Wi-Fi and flat-screen TVs, it’s an easy choice for music fans looking to stay close to the action.
Set just a quick ride or a reasonable stroll from major venues like the AO Arena and O2 Ritz Manchester, this hotel is a dream for concert-lovers. Thanks to the 24-hour bar and late-night food options, you won't be stranded after the encore. Plus, with check-out at 12:00 PM, you can enjoy a slow morning after a late night. The downtown location makes catching a late-night cab or a night bus super simple.
Hungry after the concert? You’re covered. The hotel’s 24-hour bar serves drinks and informal eats whenever you need them. Breakfast is available daily featuring fresh pastries, healthy options, and eggs — perfect if you rolled back late the night before. Plus, you're surrounded by tons of walkable dining spots if you want to sample Manchester's buzzing food scene.
While the hotel’s own bar is lively and open around the clock, you’re also within walking distance of top Manchester nightlife. From chilled-out lounges to booming clubs, you can easily keep the party going or find a cozy spot to wind down after the show.
Guests love the super central location, praising how easy it is to get to concert venues, restaurants, and shops. Many highlight the friendly staff and clean, comfortable rooms as major pluses. The 24-hour bar and flexible check-out time are often singled out as lifesavers for late-night travelers.
Some guests mention that the rooms are on the smaller side, which isn't unusual for a city-center hotel. Noise from the street can also be a factor on weekends, so light sleepers might want to pack earplugs.
If you want an affordable, central, and hassle-free stay for your Manchester concert trip, Ibis Manchester Centre 96 Portland Street hits all the right notes.
