Affordable Comfort in the Heart of Manchester

Modern, no-frills, and right in the middle of the action, Travelodge Manchester Ancoats is a great base for music lovers wanting to stay close to Manchester’s buzzing venues without breaking the bank. Located on Great Ancoats Street, this hotel puts you within walking or short tram distance from many of the city’s live music hotspots and nightlife.

Rooms are simple but comfortable, with flat screen TVs, Wi-Fi (available for a small fee), and essential amenities. The vibe is casual and functional—perfect if you're in town for the show and just need a clean, convenient place to crash afterward.

Why Concert-goers love it

The hotel’s central location means you can reach many of Manchester’s top venues on foot or with a quick Uber or tram ride. The 24-hour check-in is a big plus for late-night arrivals, and the round-the-clock front desk makes it easy to come and go at any hour. While it’s not a party hotel, guests say it stays relatively quiet at night, making it a great spot to wind down after the gig.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends looking for a budget-friendly crash pad
• Solo travelers seeing their favorite artist
• Couples on a city break with a concert in the mix
• Fans wanting a quieter post-concert recovery space
• Budget-conscious music fans who want to spend more on tickets than lodging

Food and Drink Options

While the hotel doesn’t have an on-site restaurant, there are plenty of late-night eateries within walking distance, including kebab shops, takeaways, and casual dining spots. Breakfast is available at a nearby café, making it easy to grab a bite the morning after a big night out. There’s no 24/7 room service, but the central location means food is never far.

Nightlife Options

While Travelodge Manchester Ancoats doesn’t feature its own bar or live music, you’re just minutes from Manchester’s bustling Northern Quarter, packed with cool bars, pubs, and lounges offering everything from craft beer to live DJ sets. For a more relaxed post-show vibe, head to a nearby speakeasy or cocktail bar.

What People Say

Guests consistently praise the hotel’s value for money and excellent location. Many reviews highlight how easy it is to reach gigs and return safely afterward. The staff are described as friendly and helpful, and the rooms as simple but clean—ideal for a one- or two-night stay around a concert.

Areas for Improvement

Wi-Fi isn’t free in all rooms, which can be a downside if you're trying to upload concert clips or coordinate with friends. Some guests mention that rooms can feel a bit basic—but for the price, most agree it’s a fair trade-off.

The Bottom Line

If you’re heading to Manchester for a show and want a central, affordable, and no-fuss place to stay, Travelodge Manchester Ancoats hits all the right notes.
