Hotel Football

Hotel Football stands on Sir Matt Busby Way, Old Trafford, Manchester M16 0RA, directly opposite the home ground of Manchester United in Greater Manchester, North West England. The hotel is a short walk from the Old Trafford Metrolink tram stop, which links the area to the city centre in around fifteen to twenty minutes, and from the Manchester United Museum and stadium tour. Its position makes it a natural base for football supporters, but it also serves visitors to Salford Quays, the Trafford Centre and the nearby Emirates Old Trafford cricket ground. The property is rated four-star in the mid-range category, and its design draws on the football theme with a modern, sporty interior and views of the stadium from some rooms. Accommodation includes Double rooms, Family rooms and Suites, with typical rates of GBP 100-160 per night in low season and GBP 140-260 in high season. Prices rise noticeably on match days and for concerts held at the stadium or cricket ground, so flexible visitors can find better value on non-event dates. The hotel has a restaurant and a bar, which are lively on match days and function as a social space for supporters, and Wi-Fi is provided throughout. A gym is available for guests. There is no pool or spa, so the facilities lean towards practical comfort rather than relaxation. Service is friendly and geared to groups, families and fans, and the Family rooms make the hotel useful for visitors travelling with children. Business travellers visiting the Trafford Park industrial and commercial area also use the hotel because of its tram connection. Walking to the city centre is not practical, so most guests rely on the tram or taxis for sightseeing in central Manchester. Booking well in advance is advisable for home fixtures, when availability becomes limited and rates peak.
