The Spotlight on Stay Inn Manchester

Affordable Comfort Just Steps from Manchester’s Music Scene

Modern and fuss-free, Stay Inn Manchester is a no-frills hotel just a 10-minute walk from the city center and the iconic AO Arena. Perfectly located for music lovers, this budget-friendly spot offers secure parking, free Wi-Fi, and bright rooms with all the essentials you need for a city break built around live shows.

Why Concert-goers love it

You’ll love the easy 10-minute walk to AO Arena, which means no expensive late-night taxis after the encore. The 24-hour front desk is ideal for late arrivals or late-night returns, and the hotel’s quiet Salford location helps you rest up after the show. Bonus: it's also just a 10-minute walk from Victoria Station, making late-night travel simple.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a convenient and affordable crash pad
  • Solo travelers on a mission to see their favorite artist
  • Couples making a weekend of it
  • Fans who want a quieter place to recharge post-concert
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who want value without compromise

Food and Drink Options

Hungry after the gig? The spacious on-site restaurant serves an international evening menu—great for a post-show bite. The bar offers European wines, beers, and snacks, and you can enjoy a traditional cooked breakfast the next morning to help recover from a late night. While there’s no 24/7 room service, you’ll find plenty of walkable dining options nearby in central Manchester.

Nightlife Options

Though Stay Inn keeps things mellow on-site, you’re just a short stroll away from Manchester’s buzzing nightlife. Cross the river into the city center to explore bars, lounges, and live music spots—or grab a quiet drink at the hotel bar before turning in.

What People Say

Guests frequently praise the excellent location for concerts and city exploring, as well as the friendly staff and value for money. Many reviews highlight how clean and simple the rooms are, and how the hotel offers just what’s needed for a comfortable stay without breaking the bank.

Areas for Improvement

Rooms are on the basic side, so don't expect luxury touches. Bathrooms are functional but could benefit from a refresh, and street-facing rooms may pick up a bit of traffic noise. Still, for the price and location, most guests agree it’s a solid choice.

The Bottom Line

With its walkable location to major venues and budget-friendly rates, Stay Inn Manchester is a smart pick for concert-goers who want convenience without the high price tag.

A Ward, Thornton, Bradford, visiting AO Arena

Had a meal in the restaurant on the evening of arrival. Food selection and taste was excellent. Room ready, spotless and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will be re-visiting and recommending our friends do the same. Ideally situated for Victoria Station and the Phones 4 U Arena. Thank you, we had a brilliant experience.

Liked: Modern; clean; very good value for money.

Please always turn on your...

Liked: Good location and good staff
Disliked: I checked in late about 10.45pm local time on my last stay. Because the hotel front light was turned off or dimmed, I tripped and fell with my luggage in front of the hotel close to the main entrance to the reception. It was an uncomfortable experience because of the pain on my left knee. Kindly inform the hotel management to always turn on the front and outside lights to prevent future incidents and avoid people getting hurt.

Top marks again

Liked: Everything was as expected, its not the first visit here, been a few times. The breakfast is very good and hot. Bar snacks available, not a huge choice but adequate and again hot. Clean room and public areas.
Disliked: The only downside side was how warm the room was but that was down to the weather.

Bad

Liked: Nothing
Disliked: I'm not even going to get into the story because it sounds too far fetched and ridiculous but we believe the members of staff were behaving very suspiciously and tried to steal our car keys from us (they literally went missing in the hotel for a period of time). Will not be returning because of this experience.
