Accommodation

You will need to make your own reservation for accommodation, and we hope that the information given below will help you.

The conference venue is the University of Manchester's Core Technology Facility which is located just south of the city centre. The CTF is easy to reach by bus from anywhere in the city centre or from much of South Manchester.  The street to orientate yourself towards is Oxford Road (the CTF is towards the end of this road). Details of directions to the CTF are provided on the travel and directions page.

Finding a hotel or hostel

The table below ('Some reasonably priced hotels') lists some relatively cheap hotels which are not too far from the CTF where participants in the mfm have often stayed before. There is a large number of hotels in Manchester, though, and a good number of hostels, too. One site with a large number of hotels in Manchester can be found here. You could also try websites like www.laterooms.com and www.hotels.com and www.booking.com and www.tripadvisor.com.

The perfectly nice YHA Youth Hostel in Manchester has beds for around GBP45.00 (and you don't have to be a 'youth' to stay there). Its website is here. There are also several other, independent hostels in Manchester, which are likely to be cheap and cheerful and perfectly acceptable. To find them, you could try searching for hostels on the hotel-finding websites mentioned above.

Some reasonably priced hotels

The hotels below are relatively and are in the general vicinity of the CTF centre. Please also see the information on alternative accommodation given above.

Some hotels which have been used often by participants at Manchester Phonology Meetings in previous years are *asterisked. In recent years, many people attending the mfm have stayed at one of the two Ibis hotels which are close to each other. These are modern and comfortable, if rather impersonal, and are in the centre of Manchester (most of the others listed here are in the same area). They would be about 15-20 minutes' walk from the CTF (details of buses and directions to the CTF are provided on the travel and directions page), and overall it's safer to stay in central Manchester.
