Map & live prices by our partner
For a cheap bed, you're looking at Queens Guesthouse Manchester (£21) or The Merchants Hotel (£21), both with basic rooms and easy transport links. If you want a bit more for your money, Hendham House near the Etihad Stadium is a budget-friendly pick at £36, and Eva Lodges at £30 adds soundproofing and free parking. At the top of the range, Oyo Cheetham Hill Guest House at £145 is closer to the Arena and tram, but you're mainly paying for that central spot. The real value sits in the £30–£50 band – places like Bankwell Guest House and Rostron House, which consistently score decent guest ratings.
The Manchester Arena (now AO Arena) is right at the northern edge of the city centre, and the guest houses that mention it are mostly in Cheetham Hill and Strangeways. Oyo Cheetham Hill Guest House is the standout – it's a short walk to the tram and the Arena, rated 8.0 with 1,519 reviews, but you'll pay around £145. If that's above your budget, look at Hendham House (from £36), which lists the Arena as one of its nearby venues but is further out – you'd need a bus or tram to get to the concert. The Manchester Stay Hotel - Free Parking is another budget option near the Apollo, which is a different venue, so be clear which one you're going to.
You can find a room for as little as £21 at Queens Guesthouse Manchester or The Merchants Hotel. The typical price is between £30 and £50, and the most expensive here is around £145 at Oyo Cheetham Hill Guest House.
Stay near the city centre if you want to walk everywhere – look at central spots like Adams House Hotel or The Merchants Hotel, which are within walking distance of Piccadilly Gardens and the main stations. For cheaper rates, you'll be further out, in places like Rusholme or Cheetham Hill, and will rely on buses or trams.
The airport has a direct train into Manchester Piccadilly station. From there, most guest houses are a bus or tram ride away – for example, Hendham House is near Piccadilly Station, and several places in Rusholme are on bus routes along Wilmslow Road.
Central options like The Merchants Hotel or Adams House are in busy areas with street life after dark. Others, such as Birchfields Guest House or Victoria Park Hotel, are in quieter residential streets where you'd want to take a taxi or stick to main roads.
Manchester's guest houses cluster along the main roads leading out of the city centre – think Stockport Road through Rusholme and Longsight, Cheetham Hill Road to the north, and the streets around the Etihad Campus to the east. Many are converted Victorian townhouses, which means compact rooms, shared kitchens, and free parking in the back – a combination you rarely get from a central city hotel. The trade-off is distance: these are neighbourhood bases, not Canal Street addresses, and you'll be riding the bus or tram into the heart of things.
The money you save is real. You can find a no-frills double from around £21 in places like Queens Guesthouse Manchester or The Merchants Hotel, while the top end sits closer to £145 at Oyo Cheetham Hill Guest House. Prices are spread wide, but even the most expensive option here undercuts the average central Manchester hotel. What varies most is the experience: some are lively, karaoke-and-nightclub affairs, others are quiet and adults-only. A few are proper small hotels with restaurants. The common thread is independence – each one is run by its owners, and that character is what you're paying for.
This page lists a mix of guest houses and a handful of small hotels that appear in the same category on the site. All of the properties below are on this page, including guest houses and hotels.
This set is for travellers who prioritise a low price and a bit of character over central location and hotel polish. You'll do well here if you're happy to hop on a bus or tram and you want free parking or a shared kitchen to keep costs down. If you need to be in the middle of the nightlife or within walking distance of the main attractions, look at the central hotels page. Families might prefer the family-friendly hotels, and if you're driving, the parking page will cut out any guesswork. For a guaranteed level of service, the 3 and 4 star hotel pages are a safer bet than picking a guest house blind.
