Local knowledge for Manchester
Where to stay
Most budget hostels sit in the Northern Quarter, around Oldham Street and Stevenson Square, which puts you close to the Metrolink city centre stops and the bulk of the independent bars and record shops. Ancoats, a 10-minute walk east, has a handful of newer options and slightly lower prices without much tradeoff in location.
Getting around
- Take the Metrolink from Manchester Airport directly to Piccadilly. It runs every 12 minutes and costs a fraction of what a taxi charges for the same trip.
- Hostels right on Piccadilly Gardens are often the cheapest listed, but the gardens themselves get loud on Friday and Saturday nights. Oldham Street is a short walk away and noticeably quieter.
- Bury Market runs Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. A short Metrolink ride up the Bury line gets you one of the best food markets in the north of England for far less than anything in the city centre.
When to go
January and February are the quietest and cheapest months. Prices climb sharply during the Christmas markets in mid-November through late December, and availability tightens around major fixtures at Old Trafford and the Etihad.
