BEFORE YOU SET OFF
Put your trip together
01 · Arrive
Your route into MKM Stadium
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.
02 · Before the match
The Admiral of the Humber
22-minute walk to the ground. The clearest rail-arrival pub in Hull. Current CAMRA information calls it away-fan friendly, and its position beside Paragon means you can meet, eat and then follow Anlaby Road towards the ground. CAMRA says exceptions to away admission can apply. There is no current published colours guarantee, so high-risk fixtures still need common sense.
03 · Stay or head home?
Choose your base before your hotel
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.

Breakfast and standard pub meals are served through the day; choose it for convenience and a dependable pre-match base rather than a distinctive Hull food speciality.

Food & drink
A full bar is verified; a reliable current food offer was not established, so use it primarily for the pre-match drink rather than as the food plan.

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.
For most supporters, central Hull is the better overnight base. Park Street/Ferensway is the strongest football-first compromise: it keeps the station and city centre close while putting you on the normal matchday walking route towards the stadium. If the evening after the match matters more than the shortest walk, move east/south-east towards the Old Town and marina.
For the evening
Old Town, the marina and Fruit Market are the strongest evening cluster for a visitor who wants pubs, food and drinks after the match. Visit Hull's own material highlights the historic Old Town pub circuit and the newer bars/eating places around Humber Street and the marina.
For the train
Hull Paragon Interchange is the city's main rail and bus hub. Staying around Ferensway/Park Street is particularly practical because the station is close and the stadium is a roughly 20-minute matchday walk from the interchange.
Hotels to compare
Holiday Inn Express Hull City Centre by IHGFerensway / St Stephen's / Hull Paragon InterchangeAll-round choice
Immediately useful for rail travellers because Hull Paragon Interchange is next door/very close.
Bear in mind: It is not the closest practical hotel to the ground; Park Hotel & Apartments cuts the walk.
Hotel details checked 2026-09-29More about this choice
The normal stadium walk starts from the interchange area, so it avoids an awkward post-arrival transfer.
Central enough for food and drinks, while not paying the consistent premium seen at the marina hotel in the sample.
Booking.com coverage was verified and recent Booking.com review scores were strong.
Breakfast is normally included, which improves the practical value for a one-night football stay.
It is west of the Old Town/marina nightlife core, so a supporter prioritising late bars and waterfront restaurants has better-located options.
Recent reviews are broadly positive but include recurring comments that the cooked breakfast can be inconsistent and occasional comments about firm/lumpy beds or noise.
Park Hotel & ApartmentsPark Street / west edge of Hull city centreFor the shortest ground journey
Roughly a 16-minute practical walk to the MKM Stadium according to current hotel-location listings.
Bear in mind: It is a simpler independent/value property rather than a full-service four-star chain hotel.
Hotel details checked 2026-09-29More about this choice
Park Street forms part of the official matchday walking route from Hull Paragon Interchange.
Still close to the station and city centre rather than isolating the supporter beside the ground.
The hotel explicitly adjusts its bar opening around Hull City and Hull FC home matches.
Recent verified reviews include specific football visitors praising the location for both station and stadium.
Booking.com price sampling was unusually stable at around £80-£85.
It is not in the Old Town/marina nightlife core.
Recent reviews are positive overall but include occasional maintenance/housekeeping details such as missing bathroom tiles, bulbs or strong cleaning-product smells.
