Waterbowl Accommodation 2010
Posted: Mon Jan 11, 2010 9:27 am
Some ideas for those of you attending the Waterbowl in February. This also a thread for people who need to find someone to share with to keep the costs down.
NB - for those of you looking to stay at the Grafton Hotel again - it has been demolished
- Also, there may well be home football fixtures for United or City this weekend, so rooms may get booked up quickly.
The list will enlarge, but for now:
'The Crown & Anchor', 41 Hilton Street, Manchester, M1 2EE. Tel - 0161 228 1142
Prices: £25 single
£40 twin
£50 triple
- these are last year's prices. Need to phone and check this year's rates.
The price includes breakfast.
The pub is not as close to the year's venue as it is to FB3. That said, it is still a viable option. The CTF building is only about 15/20 mins on the bus (depends on traffic). Any bus numbered 140+ or 40+ will get you there. Ask for a ticket to the university (Magic Bus or Finglands will be cheapest). Grafton Street is only a short walk from the bus stop (5 mins or so). Alternately, you could walk it in around 30-40 mins (depending on hang-over...)
It is also within very easy walking distance of manchester piccadilly train station.
This venue has housed a number of Waterbowlers over the last three years.
Other places worth checking out are:
Victoria Park Hotel,
4 Park Crescent,
Victoria Park,
Manchester,
M14 5RE
Prices: £32.00 Single, Double £42.00, Triple £60.00, Quad £75.00
Rates include breakfast. 20 mins or so walk from venue. (Not very far in taxi or bus). Bus route about a minute's walk from here.
