Hotels near Old Trafford
Old Trafford is a good area to stay at for many reasons. It's close to the city centre, no more than a couple of miles, dependent on where you choose to stay. It's very well connected with transport links. The home to Manchester United and Lancashire Cricket Club. It's also close to the Salford Quays area which is home to the Lowry, Media City and the Imperial War Museum. Hotel rates can be cheaper than the city centre hotels and most have car parks avoiding Manchester's very expensive parking rates.
The Lowry, Imperial War Museum North and Media City in Salford Quays, are also only 15 minutes walk away. [click here for hotels in Salford Quays]
SOME USEFUL TIPS
In decent weather, Old Trafford is a pleasant 30 minute walk from Manchester city centre along the canal - which goes from Castlefield to Throstle Nest Bridge (below the Pomona tram stop), where you need to join the main road. Alternatively thousands of people walk along the very busy (and dangerous) dual carriageway which, despite linking Manchester city centre to the region's most popular tourist attraction, does not boast a footpath and can get muddy in wet weather

~ Most of the hotels near Old Trafford have private car parking. The city centre is only 2 miles drive away where hotels are well served by public car parks

~ Trafford Bar metrolink is 10 mins from Old Trafford Cricket Ground or 15 mins walk from Manchester United. Trams for the city centre take just 5 mins but are often full immediately after the match. You should catch trams here for Chorlton (3 mins) or Didsbury (10 mins)
