Holiday Inn Express Hull City Centre by IHG
Ferensway / St Stephen's / Hull Paragon Interchange
The best all-round MatchdayHotels choice for a typical Hull City trip. It is next to the rail/bus hub and St Stephen's, close enough to walk to the MKM Stadium, and still convenient for the city centre afterwards. Recent verified review evidence is strong for location, cleanliness and staff, while the price sample shows it can drop into genuinely good-value territory away from busier dates.
- Immediately useful for rail travellers because Hull Paragon Interchange is next door/very close.
- The normal stadium walk starts from the interchange area, so it avoids an awkward post-arrival transfer.
Practical on foot. Hull City Council gives a 21-minute walk from Hull Paragon Interchange to the MKM Stadium; the hotel is immediately beside the interchange/St Stephen's area. Matchday access uses Park Street/Londesborough Street and the stadium link.
It is not the closest practical hotel to the ground; Park Hotel & Apartments cuts the walk.
Compare live rates and room options for your dates.
Park Hotel & Apartments
Park Street / west edge of Hull city centre
The closest practical football choice found in the central hotel market and the most matchday-specific property in the shortlist. It sits on Park Street, directly on the normal walking line from the interchange towards the MKM Stadium, and the hotel itself opens its bar around Hull City/Hull FC home games.
- Roughly a 16-minute practical walk to the MKM Stadium according to current hotel-location listings.
- Park Street forms part of the official matchday walking route from Hull Paragon Interchange.
Best practical walking relationship of the main shortlist. Park Street is on the official city-centre-to-stadium route; current hotel-location data quotes about 16 minutes on foot.
It is a simpler independent/value property rather than a full-service four-star chain hotel.
Compare live rates and room options for your dates.
Holiday Inn Hull Marina by IHG
Hull Marina / edge of Old Town and Fruit Market
The strongest full-service choice when the post-match evening matters most. It sits on Hull Marina, giving easy access to Old Town, Humber Street/Fruit Market and the city's historic pub and food cluster. It is a materially longer walk back from the MKM Stadium and usually costs more than the football-first options.
- Directly on the marina and well placed for Old Town/Fruit Market pubs, restaurants and bars.
- Recent verified reviews repeatedly praise the location, staff and cleanliness.
Walkable for many supporters but no longer the shortest football-first option. The 1.2-mile figure is approximate straight-line separation; a practical walking route is longer and generally around half an hour. Taxi is a sensible fallback after a late or wet match.
Longer stadium walk than Ferensway/Park Street options; a taxi after the match may be attractive in poor weather.

Travel & parking

Choose a topic for the full journey advice.
Parking
Driving & road restrictions
For a normal matchday, use Walton Street car park, HU3 6GA, rather than entering the stadium postcode and trying to reach a stand by car. Approaching from the M62 and A63, follow the stadium parking signs and the traffic stewards towards Walton Street. The ground itself is at West Park, HU3 6HU.
Expect the roads around Anlaby Road, Walton Street and the hospital side to be busy near kick-off and again when the crowd leaves. If your priority is a simpler exit, St Stephen’s city-centre car park or Priory Park & Ride can be easier to plan than a space immediately next to the ground.
In October, check Hull Fair restrictions before setting out. For 6–18 October 2026, the council closed Walton Street to normal traffic and imposed nearby lane restrictions, including on Anlaby Road. A familiar sat-nav route may therefore be unavailable even if stadium access is maintained through a different entrance.
- Stadium address
- MKM Stadium, West Park, Hull, HU3 6HU.
- Normal car-park destination
- Walton Street, HU3 6GA, rather than stadium perimeter.
- Approach from west
- M62 links into A63 Clive Sullivan Way; official/visiting guidance signs Walton Street routes.
- Normal congestion
- Anlaby Road/West Park have increased matchday pedestrian and car traffic.
- Hull Fair 2026 road closure
- Walton Street closure 6 October 06:00 until 18 October 15:00; Anlaby Road lane restrictions.
- Fair special stadium entry
- Council gives temporary access using St Georges Road, Arthur Street, Carnegie Street and old Anlaby Road under the flyover into West Park; subject to stewarding.
- Roadworks
- Check current Travel Hull before the journey; no other current named diversion is asserted.
Parking & park-and-ride
You do not need to gamble on residential parking at Hull City. On a normal matchday, Walton Street car park (HU3 6GA) is the easiest choice at £6 per vehicle, paid by card or contactless. It is a short walk through West Park, and spaces are taken on arrival rather than individually reserved.
If you want free parking, Priory Park & Ride is the supported alternative. Its 650 spaces are free to use, with a paid bus towards Anlaby Road and the stadium. Check the return service for evening or Sunday fixtures.
Do not assume streets immediately around West Park are unrestricted. Hull City Council runs a stadium residents’ permit zone, while older fan tips suggest free spaces farther west off Anlaby Road. We could not confirm which individual stretches are legally unrestricted for a whole football visit, so none is recommended as a dependable free street.
St Stephen’s Shopping Centre (HU2 8LN) is a good paid fallback with 24-hour parking: currently £3.50 for three to four hours or £6 for four to six hours. Allow around four to five hours for your visit, including the walk in both directions, the match and time leaving the stadium. Its early-evening entry tariff may help at later kick-offs.
Aim to arrive 60–90 minutes before kick-off, especially for a busy fixture. Walton Street normally opens three hours before kick-off and closes three hours after full-time, and exit queues can take time.
During Hull Fair, use a different plan. Walton Street was closed to normal traffic from 6 to 18 October 2026, including the Hull City–Everton fixture on 11 October. The council recommended public transport and special arrangements. Do not assume the ordinary £6 Walton Street car park is operating during that period.
- Parking verdict
- On normal matchdays, pay £6 at Walton Street or use free Priory Park parking with a paid bus; do not rely on unverified residential streets.
- Best all-round — Walton Street
- Official shared-stadium matchday parking, HU3 6GA, £6 per car by card/contactless; open 3 hours pre-kick-off to 3 hours after full-time.
- Walton Street capacity
- Hull FC says the site has about 1,100 combined car and coach spaces; availability is first-come, not a specific pre-booked bay.
- Walton Street Blue Badge tariff
- Free parking at Walton Street for Blue Badge holders.
- Walton Street late exit
- Hull FC warns of a £75 penalty where vehicles are left beyond the permitted post-match closing window.
- Free option — Priory Park & Ride
- 650 free car spaces; bus fare applies and matchday service must be checked.
- Priory published fare
- £3 single or £5.50 return published for Stagecoach/East Yorkshire ordinary services; fixture-specific fare may differ.
- Legal restrictions — stadium zone
- Council operates stadium-zone resident permits, and neighbouring streets include permit-only restrictions; check entry signs.
- Matchday availability — nearby roads
- An older supporter report mentions Parkfield Drive and further west off Anlaby Road, but no current side-by-side legal order was established.
- Walk — Walton Street
- Short walking access via West Park; exact minutes to away north-east turnstiles not independently verified.
- Walk — St Stephen’s
- About 18 minutes to stadium per visiting-club guide; allow additional minutes to away turnstiles.
- Paid fallback — St Stephen’s
- 24-hour public car park at HU2 8LN; £3.50 for 3–4h, £6 for 4–6h, £8 for 6–8h.
- St Stephen’s entry after 17:00
- Operator says £1 after 17:00 until midnight; operator has a separate restaurant/leisure-validation concession not automatically available for football.
- Booking recommendation
- Normal Walton Street is an on-arrival managed car park rather than a specified guaranteed allocated bay; no booking usually needed, but arrive early.
- Arrive by — normal fixtures
- Editorial advice: aim to park 60–90 minutes before kick-off; busy fixtures may require more time.
- Supermarket permission/time limit
- Tesco St Stephen’s says supermarket maximum-stay rules vary by store and on-site signage; football visitor permission not confirmed.
- Retail maximum stay example
- Anlaby Retail Park (HU10 6RJ) enforces a 3-hour ANPR maximum with £100 parking charge; not suitable for matchday parking.
- Total dwell time
- Allow at least 4–5 hours for early arrival, both walks, match/half-time and dispersal, longer for food or cup extra time.
- After the match
- Walton Street may have slow egress; St Stephen’s or Priory Park can reduce car traffic around ground subject to transfer times.
- Hull Fair exception — 2026
- Walton Street was closed to normal road traffic 6–18 October, including Hull City v Everton 11 October; normal Walton Street parking cannot be assumed.
- 2026 Fair alternate arrangements
- Council mentions limited parking inside MKM stadium site and additional buses/park-and-ride, but availability and permitted access are fixture-specific.
- Sunday and evening advice
- Ordinary Priory Park timetable may not cover post-match return after late/Sunday fixture; verify dedicated matchday buses.
- Advance private driveway booking
- Could be used if authorised, but no exact operator product, guaranteed bay or matchday tariff was independently verified.

Parking

Matchday advice: You do not need to gamble on residential parking at Hull City. On a normal matchday, Walton Street car park (HU3 6GA) is the easiest choice at £6 per vehicle, paid by card or contactless.
Trains
Rail, Underground & tram
Hull Paragon Interchange is the station to use for the MKM Stadium. The council puts the walk at about 21 minutes via Park Street, Londesborough Street and the stadium link at Argyle Street. Leave a little longer for the visiting-supporter entrance and the crowds before kick-off.
The railway and bus interchange share one site, so you can change to a local bus without crossing the city. If you are coming from Leeds, Doncaster, Sheffield or further afield, check the return connection before you decide whether to stay for a drink after full-time.
Hull station has step-free access to all platforms, with staffed assistance available. That does not mean every stretch of the outdoor walk is suitable for all wheelchair users, so arrange support or accessible drop-off separately where necessary.
- Main rail arrival
- Hull Paragon Interchange (National Rail); station and bus terminus combined.
- Station to stadium
- 21-minute walk using the council’s Park Street, Londesborough Street and Argyle Street event-day link; additional time needed to away entrance.
- Argyle Street stadium link
- Pedestrian link only open on matchdays and major events.
- Rail services
- Council lists connections from Leeds, Doncaster, Sheffield, Manchester, Beverley, Goole and other Yorkshire and Humber towns.
- Station accessibility
- Category A; step-free access to all Hull station platforms.
- Assistance
- Passenger assistance and boarding ramps available; contact operator for specific train needs.
- Evening return services
- Fixture-specific; verify live rail times and any changes rather than assume the last train.
Station to ground & away entrance
Head for the visiting-supporter section in the north-east corner of the MKM Stadium, rather than stopping at the first home turnstiles you pass. Independent ground guides identify the away section around the North and East Stand corner, but your ticket and matchday stewards should decide the precise gate and block.
From Hull Paragon, walk towards Park Street and follow Londesborough Street to the Argyle Street stadium footbridge. This shortens the route through West Park on event days, although you should still allow time to walk round to the visiting entrance.
If you come in from Anlaby Road or the Walton Street parking side, follow the signed paths around the stadium and keep clear of the controlled vehicle entrances. The stadium address is West Park, Hull HU3 6HU.
- Stadium
- MKM Stadium, West Park, Hull HU3 6HU.
- Away section
- Visiting football supporters use north-east stadium corner, across North/East Stand sections; allocation varies.
- Away gates — guide indication
- Independent stadium guide identifies turnstiles 47–50 and 1–5, depending on allocation; ticket or stewards take precedence.
- Council station walk
- Park Street, Londesborough Street, Argyle Street stadium-link footbridge on event days.
- Distance to away entrance
- Specific gate-to-station time not published in inspected official sources; allow more than council’s 21-minute stadium walk.
- Taxi and accessible arrival
- Designated stadium-perimeter drop-off / taxi rank referenced by visiting-club guide; fixture access to be checked.

Coaches
Away coaches
If you are travelling with your club’s official coaches, use the drop-off and collection instructions supplied for that fixture. Walton Street normally provides managed space for cars and coaches beside the stadium, but its entry arrangements and the exact coach holding area are controlled by the organisers.
Once you are dropped off, follow the stewards towards the visiting entrance in the north-east corner. Do not assume a coach will be waiting beside the same gate straight after the game. The West Park paths are busy with pedestrians, and coaches may be released in a managed order.
There is an important seasonal exception: Hull Fair takes over the Walton Street area every October. During the published 6–18 October 2026 restrictions, normal road access was closed, so any coach party needed fixture-specific instructions from the operator rather than the usual postcode.
- Usual coach parking area
- Walton Street event car park has capacity for cars and coaches; exact allocation set by matchday stewarding.
- Standard venue postcode
- MKM Stadium, West Park HU3 6HU; ordinary Walton Street vehicle-parking postcode HU3 6GA.
- Arrival and collection location
- Exact visiting coach loading and collection stand is fixture-specific and not confirmed from current club sources.
- Annual October exception
- Hull Fair closed Walton Street and affected West Park internal access 6–18 October 2026.
- Post-match departure
- Traffic and pedestrian flows may delay coach egress; follow operator’s instructions.
Buses
Buses & local travel
For most rail arrivals, walking is the simplest choice. If you would rather save your legs, Stagecoach service 2 runs from Hull city centre towards Anlaby Road, with stops close to the stadium. Its published daytime frequency can be as often as every ten minutes, but evening and Sunday services are less frequent.
Priory Park & Ride is the more useful bus option for drivers approaching Hull from the west. Park for free at Priory Park, buy a bus ticket and use the matchday connection to Anlaby Road near the stadium. Check the actual post-match departure arrangements, particularly for Sunday games or late kick-offs.
Stagecoach also advertises football buses from the West Park/Anlaby Road event stop after selected Saturday and midweek fixtures. These serve particular local routes, so do not assume they provide a direct return to Paragon.
- Stagecoach service 2
- Runs from Hull city centre towards MKM/Anlaby Road; up to 10-minute frequency Monday–Saturday daytime, up to 30 minutes evenings/Sundays.
- Interchange boarding
- Earlier visiting guide lists Stagecoach 2 at bay 6 and East Yorkshire 66 at bay 7; check live bay allocations.
- Post-match football buses
- Stagecoach advertises special 2A, 5 and 12 from West Park/Anlaby Road event bus stop for Saturday 3pm and midweek fixtures.
- Priory Park & Ride
- Up to 650 free parking spaces and matchday bus links to MKM.
- Priory published regular fare
- Adult single £3; return £5.50, not necessarily a fixture-specific special fare.
- Priory bus hours
- Ordinary Saturday timetable advertised 07:00–19:20; football services may differ and need fixture check.
- Sunday park-and-ride
- Ordinary published schedules do not establish Sunday match service; confirm before use.
Accessibility
Accessible journeys
Arrange accessible tickets and any stadium-perimeter parking with Hull City before you travel. The club’s disability liaison contact can check visiting wheelchair allocations, the correct entrance and whether an on-site pass is available for your fixture. General stadium parking is not the same as a reserved accessible space.
The Walton Street matchday car park is free for Blue Badge holders and provides a fallback when on-site disabled spaces have been allocated. Hull City’s published provision includes away wheelchair positions, accessible toilets and assistance, but confirm your exact route and seating needs directly rather than assuming every approach is step-free.
Hull Paragon station is step-free to every platform. For a lower-walking alternative, ask the club about the designated drop-off on the West Park perimeter road and whether any event-day road closures change access.
- Hull City disability liaison
- Leanne Jensen, leanne.jensen@wearehullcity.co.uk; telephone 01482 358303 via Level Playing Field.
- Away wheelchair spaces
- Level Playing Field states 16 away wheelchair positions and 100 easy-access / amenity positions; information last club-reviewed August 2024, reconfirm.
- Away accessible toilets
- Level Playing Field lists two accessible toilets in away areas; reconfirm.
- Changing Places facility
- Facility in West Stand; arrange access with stewards.
- Accessible stadium parking
- Limited on-site spaces arranged through club; Walton Street is free for Blue Badge holders.
- Drop-off
- Visiting-club guide mentions a managed drop-off/taxi area on West Park perimeter road with cut-off around 45 minutes before kick-off; check fixture.
- Station
- Hull Paragon is step-free to every platform (Category A).
- Audio headsets
- Level Playing Field says three away audio commentary headsets, book through disability liaison; not full audio description.
- Wayfinding limitations
- Some away wheelchair-user reports raise sightline and stewarding concerns; request exact access and seat location.
After the match
After the match
If you have come by train, allow time to walk back to Hull Paragon rather than relying on a taxi through the stadium traffic. The Argyle Street stadium link is normally open on matchdays and leads towards Londesborough Street and the city centre. Check your train connection beforehand, especially after an evening kick-off.
If you parked on Walton Street, expect stewards to manage the exit and leave room for the walking crowd. Visiting-supporter reports describe delays getting onto Walton Street, so do not plan a tight motorway connection after full-time.
Priory Park & Ride keeps your car away from the ground but adds a bus journey after the match. Use the signed Anlaby Road matchday bus stop and check the last return service. During Hull Fair or another large event, follow that fixture’s closures rather than the normal Walton Street route.
- Rail return
- Allow council’s 21-minute station walk plus additional crowd and away-sector exit time.
- Matchday footbridge
- Argyle Street link available on matchdays and major events, not normally open every day.
- Walton Street exit
- Older visiting-club guide warns exit delays; 2026 Hull FC guide describes end-specific vehicle directions.
- Post-match special buses
- Stagecoach 2A/5/12 from Anlaby Road/West Park event stop on selected Saturday 3pm and midweek events.
- Priory return
- Check dedicated matchday bus times, which can differ from regular timetable.
- Rail and coach connection
- Actual last train, coach departure order and queue length vary by fixture.
- Hull Fair October 2026
- Walton Street and other access restrictions in force until 18 October 15:00.
Where to stay
Stay around Hull Paragon, Ferensway or Park Street if you want the easiest balance of football and an evening in town. You can walk to the MKM Stadium from the interchange and return without depending on taxis or a late bus. Park Hotel & Apartments on Park Street is one established central option.
If you want restaurants and pubs after the game, Hull Old Town and the Fruit Market around Humber Street are more appealing than booking beside West Park. You will have a longer walk back from the ground, but far more choice once you arrive.
For a quick stadium-first visit, a central hotel close to the station is still more useful than a room chosen purely because it is west of the city. If you are driving, check your hotel’s parking conditions and overnight price separately from the matchday stadium car parks.
- Best rail/stadium hotel area
- Hull Paragon, Ferensway and Park Street: central, walkable to ground and rail services.
- Specific hotel option
- Park Hotel & Apartments, Park Street, HU2 8RR.
- Hotel parking terms
- Park Hotel lists paid on-site parking around £8.20 per 24 hours through Tap2Park at inspected date; not a guaranteed booking rate.
- Best nightlife area
- Old Town, Marina and Humber Street Fruit Market.
- Hotel trade-off
- Near Paragon favours train and football access; Old Town/Fruit Market favours a longer evening.
- Night fixture
- Plan last train or overnight stay if connection is tight; no assumed live train schedule.

Read full overview Hide full overview
Rail arrivals should base the day around Hull Paragon rather than chase a pub beside the MKM. The Admiral of the Humber, three minutes from the station, has current CAMRA backing as away-friendly; from there it is roughly 20–25 minutes down Anlaby Road, with the pedestrian bridge after Hull Royal Infirmary leading into West Park. Visiting supporters are in the north-east corner. The Tigers Trust Arena Bar is normally the cleanest close-ground choice because the Official Supporters Club explicitly welcomes away fans, with New Walton Club another established option; most other nearby pubs are Hull-heavy and colours policies are patchy. Food is a genuine strength: the MKM's pies and street-food boxes are unusually broad, Kingfisher is the local chippy lead, while Trinity Market, Bob Carver's and the Marina/Old Town independents make the centre worth using. For overnight trips, stay near Paragon/Ferensway for transport or Old Town/Marina for the evening. Hull Fair changes the Everton fixture: Walton Street is closed to traffic and the Tigers Trust bar is shut.

Food & quick bites
Where to grab a bite, have a proper meal or try the local matchday favourite.
Trinity Market Food Hall
The best city-centre food-hall option for a group. It keeps everyone together while offering proper independent choices rather than sending an away party around different chains.
Dope Burger - Trinity Market
A straightforward independent choice inside Trinity Market: quick burgers and fried chicken, with chip-spice fries giving the order a recognisably Hull touch.
MKM Stadium Away Concourse Food
One ground where eating inside is defensible. The choice goes well beyond a basic burger: pies and rotating street-food boxes are a real part of the current MKM matchday offer.
Kingfisher
The strongest local chippy lead close to the ground. Current Hull supporters rate it for proper fish and chips, patties and value, with chip spice giving it the local touch.
Bob Carver's - Chapel Street
The local-speciality stop. Bob Carver's gives you the Hull pattie and chip-spice combination without needing to gamble on stadium stock, and it remains open on Sundays.
Nibble @ The Dock
A strong breakfast or brunch for supporters staying around the Marina. It is not on the direct station-to-ground line, but it makes sense if the waterfront is your overnight base.
Ambiente Tapas Hull
The proper-meal option for a Marina stay. It works better for families and groups who want to sit down together than for supporters chasing a fast pint and pie near the ground.
