Frequently asked

Staying near Old Trafford, FAQs

Where should I stay for a match at Old Trafford?

For an Old Trafford match, stay somewhere with a quick tram link to the ground, either near the stadium itself or central Manchester on the same Metrolink line. An apartment avoids matchday hotel price hikes and gives a group more space.

How do you get to Old Trafford from Manchester city centre?

The Metrolink tram runs direct to the Old Trafford and Exchange Quay stops near the stadium in around 15–20 minutes from the city centre.

Is it cheaper to book an apartment for a football weekend?

Often yes, hotels raise prices around big fixtures, while a self check-in apartment gives a group more space and a kitchen, usually at a better total price, especially when you book direct.
