Modern and welcoming, ibis Manchester Centre Princess Street puts you right in the heart of the action. Located at the bustling corner of Princess Street and Charles Street, this bright, budget-friendly hotel is just a short walk from both Piccadilly and Oxford Road Stations — ideal for getting to and from your favorite gigs. With airy rooms, flat-screen TVs, free WiFi, and a casual vibe, it’s a smart, comfortable base for music lovers exploring Manchester’s vibrant scene.
When it comes to catching a show, location is everything — and ibis Manchester Centre Princess Street delivers. It's within easy walking distance of major train stations and a quick ride from venues like the Manchester Arena and the Manchester Central Convention Complex. Thanks to the hotel's air climate control system, you’ll enjoy a peaceful sleep even if the city outside is buzzing. Plus, with a 12pm check-out, you can recover at your own pace after a late night.
Need late-night fuel? The hotel's cafe-style restaurant offers a range of light snacks, and the bar is ready to pour draft beers, bottled brews, and fine spirits until late. Craving breakfast after a big night? An all-you-can-eat breakfast buffet is available every morning, perfect for a slow start after an epic gig.
You’re just a stone’s throw from the buzzing nightlife of Chinatown and Canal Street, offering everything from laid-back pubs to lively clubs. Prefer something more low-key? Grab a drink at the hotel’s bar and toast to an unforgettable night of music with local craft beers and classic cocktails.
Guests love the friendly staff, clean rooms, and excellent location close to nightlife and venues. Many appreciate the value for money and the convenient late check-out. Reviewers also highlight the comfortable beds and reliable WiFi, making it easy to share your concert memories online.
Some guests mention that room sizes are on the smaller side — but with Manchester’s music scene at your doorstep, you likely won’t be spending much time inside. Also, parking is available across the street rather than on-site, so plan ahead if you’re bringing a car.
ibis Manchester Centre Princess Street is a fantastic, budget-friendly choice for concert-goers who want a clean, comfy place to crash — just steps from Manchester’s top venues and vibrant nightlife.
