I had 7 weeks at The Kings Arms. The room was spottlesly clean. From the point of view of convenience an 8 minute walk to The Opera House made it a fantastic location. Very happy throughout my stay. Thank you Lisa :)
21st Jul 2026
Great room in a very handy location. Was working at the Lowry and way very easy to get there with the bus, and the city centre was reachable by foot. Always a great atmosphere in the pub. The fan was a lifesaver in the heatwave while I was there. Room very quiet and peaceful even when pub was busy, and with a construction site next door too. Always had a great nights sleep and the bed was super comfy. Many many thanks, would definitely recommend and come back again!
5th Jul 2026
My go to now in manchester,
Great pub,quiet room,
8 min wallk to the opera house.
Had a very happy week.
Highly recommended
14th Jun 2026
Superb! Gorgeous pub. Great comms. I'd love to come back! J
29th May 2026
Lisa is a great host. Very clean and spacious rooms. The room was well equipped. Exactly what I needed! Good distance away from the opera house and the palace. I will definitely stay here again.
25th May 2026
Lovely stay again here, very comfy stay. Will be back again soon! Thanks
24th Feb 2026
Really lovely room above a theatre pub, nice and clean. Great location for food shopping and cafes. Lisa and Jasmine were super responsive to any questions. The temperature plunged when I arrived in Salford and they provided extra blankets and a space heater for me! Would definitely stay again.
**A note if you are performing at The Lowry. The direct bus is not the most reliable. Much better off getting any of the other buses to the tram and saving yourself some anxiety!
5th Dec 2025
I had a lovely stay at the Kings Arms, a lovely walk through town into the theatre, easy to get to. The room was spacious and clean, the bed is SUPER comfy.
There was a strong smell of cigarettes in the room which was sometimes quite overpowering, other times not; maybe from people smoking outside the pub downstairs? It didn’t really bother me, but i did have to get some airfreshner.
Overall a lovely stay and would stay here again x
24th Nov 2025
Lovely room. Although it is slightly further away from The Lowery, there is a bus stop right out that takes you all the way to media city. Lisa was very friendly and accommodating. I would definitely recommend this place to touring actors.
11th Nov 2025
Perfect place to stay if you’re working in the opera house. 10 minute walk with amenities close by. Always a pleasure staying
6th Nov 2025
Amazing host, lovely little room
3rd Nov 2025
Fantastic stay at Kings Arms for four weeks whilst at the Opera House. Stayed in the Albert Finney room, lovely room, bathroom and kitchenette. There is a slow cooker, toaster and microwave so I was able to meal prep and cook as normal even though there is no hob. Would definitely recommend these digs - really good, convenient location for any theatre, especially the Opera House. Thanks so much Lisa. X
14th Oct 2025
A really great stay! Instructions for everything was super clear. A lovely spacious room with a great mini kitchen, and bathroom. Excellent links to town only a 10 minute walk to the Opera House. Also on top of a great pub too! I would definitely stay here again and would definitely recommend the Kings Arms Digs to anyone!
13th Oct 2025
Thank you Lisa for being so accommodating with my mad schedule. A lovely bright & comfortable room above a really nice pub. Very quiet & relaxing to stay.
A short walk say 5-6mins to the Opera House made my early calls so much easier. 10/10 would highly recommend. Thanks, Nik
29th May 2025
Really enjoyed my stay here, very comfortable and an easy walk to the theatre. Would stay again!
25th May 2025
Very comfy room a pleasant walk to the theatre only thing I would say is the shower is very small
16th Mar 2025
Had a lovely stay in the Albert Finney room! Was a bit cold but once o was given an extra fan heater it was much better! Slept really well! Tricky to park in Manchester… but free on sat near by so could move the car Friday night! Took a good 23 mins to walk to the theatre.. which was fine and great to be able to have my little dog Millie with me! Thanks
24th Feb 2025
Lovely little self contained flat, with everything but a cooler/oven. Nice and spacious although the shower cubicle could be bigger but it wasn’t an issue. Plenty of multi storey car parks close by and you can get your car close to the back of the pub. Excellent communication and are on hand whenever you need anything. Would stay there again.
11th Feb 2025
Nice digs only around 10 mins from the Opera House, would recommend!
10th Feb 2025
Great place. Super clean. Had everything I needed. Lisa was really helpful. Really nice pub downstairs. 10 minute walk to the Opera House. Would highly recommend staying here!
4th Feb 2025
Great location and space, Lisa was really accommodating and a great host,
2nd Feb 2025
Lovely Place to stay, Very spacious room with everything you might need in. Easy check in and out, Would definitely stay again, and recommend others to book.
29th Jan 2025
Really lovely stay here at the Kings Arms. I was here for a month so if you enjoy cooking there isn’t an oven but Lisa was very clear of this on the summary of the room. Ideal location and really lovely stay. Even got fresh bedding and towels without request as I was staying here for 2 weeks! Would definitely stay here again x
30th Sep 2024
Second time here and love it just as much. Easy bus trip to The Quays. Comfy bed and always a joy to have my daily conversation and cuddle with Charlie the cat outside! Laundrette close by and free parking a 15 minute walk away (most roads around Silk Street) Thank you so much!
10th Sep 2024
Lovely self contained flat a short walk from town. Loved my 2 week there. Definitely have a drink in the pub downstairs.
1st Sep 2024
Lovely place! Really enjoyed
25th Aug 2024
The perfect digs for any Manchester venue! Had a fantastic stay in a spacious room, lovely stroll to the theatre, and a really comfy bed. Absolutely would reccomend and can’t wait to stay again in the future. Thanks
4th Aug 2024
Enjoyed my stay here. Just slightly disappointed with the extremely small shower (I am 6"3 so if you are my height, I would avoid the room I was in as I literally couldn't turn in the shower).
A little too far out for me however, that was lack of research on my behalf.
29th Jul 2024
Really nice stay in the Albert Finney room.
Agreed the water pressure is a bit low and be aware that there’s only the sink in the bathroom - not with the kitchenette.
Super comfy bed though, good location and value for Manchester!
2nd Jun 2024
Great digs in an awesome location. Friendly hosts, and a really lovely mini apartments.
It's not a full kitchen as expected, but for a short stay in central Manchester it wasn't a problem. Will be booking again!
6th May 2024
What lovely digs. A safe 20/25 minute walk from the Palace. Communication was excellent, room was immaculately clean and well-presented. Tesco Express, numerous great late night fast food places, and a launderette all nearby. So comfortable and convenient. I would definitely look to book here again if I returned. The Albert Finney room all the way (both those armchairs in the pics are recliners too).
2nd Apr 2024
Great digs. Good location. Spacious room and everything needed for a comfortable stay
11th Mar 2024
A lovely room, in a great location for the Opera House. Lisa was great at communicating all the information needed.
Slight downside was that the heater didn’t heat the room. It was lovely and warm right by it but it didn’t seem to fill the room. I would still highly recommend this place and would definitely stay there again next time I’m in Manchester.
13th Feb 2024
Had a fantastic stay at the Kings Arms over the Christmas period. Excellent location (straight-forward bus ride to the Lowry) and close to town! I stayed in the Finney room, which was clean and spacious. Would definitely recommend!
29th Jan 2024
Loved staying here above the Kings Arms. Very comfortable, clean and quiet (after closing time). Great location too. Lisa was super friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend.
10th Jan 2024

23rd Oct 2023
A brilliant place to stay when in Manchester! Clean, safe and really homely! Great location-easy buses to The Lowry and short walk into centre.
Would 100% stay here again!
Thank you Lisa for a wonderful stay x
9th Oct 2023
A return visit. Everything that you could want. I wouldn’t stay anywhere else.
4th Sep 2023
Another great stay at these digs. They’re my go-to for Manchester accommodation. Self contained with everything you might need, and an easy walk to all theatres and the city centre. It’s always a delight to return and see the pub cat. Thanks again and see you soon.
17th Aug 2023
Perfect digs! Great location for the Opera House which was an 8 minute walk away. A Tesco nearby. Clean. Good facilities and organisation. On a Friday & Saturday there was live music being played in the pub but it is all done by 11. Comfy bed. I stayed in the Albert Finney room (Blue chairs) Had a great stay here and I would highly recommend! Thank you Lisa!
15th Aug 2023
I stayed for 4 weeks in the 'Shelagh Delaney' room while playing in a show at the Palace theatre. I can wholeheartedly recommend staying here, The room is large with a very comfortable bed, small fridge and microwave and en suite. The old pub is full of character, and Marks and Spencer and Tesco are near by. Very friendly and welcoming, thank you Lisa I hope I can stay again.
4th Aug 2023
Amazing accommodation
3rd Jun 2023
Absolutely loved these digs!! So comfortable and amazing to have a fridge and microwave included! Super close to the theatre - will definitely be back at some point :)
31st May 2023
These are my favourite digs in Manchester. Have everything you need and Lisa is always a message away. Clean and comfy beds! Ten min walk to the opera house and twenty to the palace and feels safe when on your own. Cannot recommend enough thank you x
29th May 2023
Highly recommend. Super private, quiet space, very comfy. Lisa was quick with communication. I had a lovely stay!

24th Apr 2023
Perfect stay!
I spent Tech week there and it couldn’t have been better, much closer to the opera house than I even expected, 10 minutes or less really!
Everything I needed was there, very clean and comfy bed, happily stay there again!
23rd Apr 2023
Had a great stay here! Amazing location, Super clean and comfy room- slept incredibly well - JCC Room! Only thing the shower is very small and the temperature would run super hot or super cold! Would definitely stay again!! Thanks guys ❤️
3rd Apr 2023
Good location, very spacious, cosy and clean room. Really glad I found this place, would love to stay again in future.
2nd Apr 2023
Albert Finney room was great, really spacious, with an en-suite, microwave, kettle and toaster. The location is ideal, only 10 minutes from the Opera House and the pub below the digs is quiet during the day and closes at midnight. Would stay again!
9th Mar 2023
Great! The buses are regular as clockwork from very near to just outside the stage door of The Lowry.Thought I’d be taking cabs, no need. The pub is great. Very special. My questions were answered instantly, Comfy. Peaceful. Fun. Friendly.Thanks Lisa
27th Feb 2023
Everything is set up so well here, information and check in was effortless and the Delany room was so peaceful and well presented. Perfect haven from my mad week at the Palace theatre, thank you so much for having me.
7th Feb 2023
Lisa was an amazing host who felt with both requests and a change of dates with nothing but understanding and friendliness. The room itself was fantastic very clean, fresh sheets, fresh towels and good amenities
9th Jan 2023
Very well thought out digs. Great location and very comfortable. Stayed in JCC room - only minor thing is the shower is quite small and anyone who isn’t petite might find it a bit difficult. Lovely comfortable bed and excellent communication.
29th Dec 2022
Wonderful digs! Would stay there again without a doubt!
15th Nov 2022
Sensational digs! Beautiful self contained room, close to Opera House. Everything you need. Old building so sound from pub can sometimes leak through floor but doesn't last long. Would stay again! X
6th Nov 2022
Sensational digs! Everything you need and in a great location. Would highly recommend! Thanks again! Nathan x
31st Oct 2022
Beautiful Digs, Very Very Close to Opera House and Centre of Manchester. I would recommend these digs to anyone looking in Manchester. Shame I didn't see Lisa, but setting up a WhatsApp group is a great idea to keep in communication. Thanks so much!
17th Oct 2022
Thank you x
This was my second stay in these digs and I would definitely recommend! The room has everything you need and it’s spacious and light too. Check in is easy and Lisa is very responsive and helpful throughout. Thank you!
9th Oct 2022
Theatre digs perfection!
Everything I needed. Comfiest bed with en-suite and kitchenette. Above a really cool pub and theatre (Best in Manchester) but still really peaceful at night.
Can’t recommend highly enough.

2nd Oct 2022
Lovely digs, with everything you could want, very clean and well-looked after. Lisa was friendly and easy to get hold of and not very far from anywhere. What more could you want, would definitely stay again.
26th Sep 2022
I had a fantastic stay at the Kings Arms. Lisa was so helpful and accommodating, the room was comfortable and well equipped, and all only a 20min walk from the Palace Theatre. And a bonus, above a fantastic pub with great food - highly recommended!
16th Aug 2022
I had a brilliant stay at the Kings Arms. Extremely close to the Opera House and the room had all the amenities you could need. Everything has been thought out and is clean and comfortable. Would definitely stay here again.
12th Aug 2022
The perfect digs ! I’ll definitely stay again. Thank you to Lisa for such a lovely stay.
11th Aug 2022
Loved staying here - didn't find it particularly noisy even though it's above the pub. Super helpful on the night I left my keys at the theatre!! Sad to have had to leave early due to Covid because I really enjoyed my stay.
1st Aug 2022
Had a lovely stay at the Kings Arms! Great location for the Opera House, comfy bed, nice bathroom. Would definitely recommend and stay here again!

8th Jun 2022
Wouldn't stay anywhere else, this place is amazing! Highly recommend. Really spacious and comfortable with quality throughout. Lisa and Charlie are great and an easy walk to the Opera. The shower is a bit of a tight squeeze.
4th Jun 2022
Adore these digs, perfect location safe nice 10 min walk. Had everything i needed with a comfy bed and good shower. Really lovely decorated and everything thought of. Really quiet during the week bit of noise from the pub on Sat! Lisa is a great host

Jodie was a perfect guest hopefully she will be back again.
The perfect digs. Easy walk to the Palace. Gorgeous room. Absolutely loved it here and can’t recommend highly enough!
21st Mar 2022
Thank you it was a pleasure having you x
Walk directly to Opera House stage door in under 10 minutes, through a safe, swish part of town, and know that some of your fees might help keep this essential venue going. Would certainly stay again, and hopefully catch a show next time.
15th Mar 2022
Thank you. Was a pleasure having you stay x
Perfect theatre digs! Less than a 10 minute walk to Manchester Opera House with many shops and cafes nearby. Check-in was very simple and Lisa was easy to contact throughout. The pub downstairs is lovely too, especially the cats! Definitely recommend
14th Mar 2022
Thank you x
Such a great find. I was performing at the Lyric Theatre at Salford Quays and needed a dog friendly place to stay. This was perfect. The bus stop was only 100ft away with buses running every 10-15 mins, and a journey time of 15 minutes. Perfect.
22nd Feb 2022
Was a pleasure hosting Nicolas. Hopefully he will be back agin one day on tour. Perfect guest x
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay above The Kings Arms; the room was lovely, very clean and homely which was felt nice to come back to after shows! I didn't get chance to meet Lisa but she was easily contactable and really lovely and accommodating!
6th Dec 2021
Pleasure having you.
Absolutely loved my stay here! So home from home. 10mins to theatre, Tesco 4 mins away, close enough to everything but also put of the craziness. Highly recommended! Would defo stay again!!!
29th Nov 2021
