Best Hotels in Middlesbrough
Middlesbrough is compact, with its main hotels gathered around the town centre and a calmer residential side to the south. Here is how to choose where to stay.
The town centre for simple logistics
Middlesbrough's town centre is small enough to cross on foot, and the railway station sits right at its edge. Staying here suits a short trip: you can arrive by train, reach a hotel within minutes and be back at the platform the next morning without needing a car. It is also the busiest part of the town after dark, which is worth remembering if you prefer a quiet street outside your window.

Linthorpe Road and the way south
Linthorpe Road runs south from the centre and is lined with a mix of shops, cafes and takeaways, with quieter side streets behind. Hotels and guest houses along this corridor are a little removed from the busiest part of town, which gives you a gentler arrival, though you will usually want a taxi rather than a long walk back at night.

Albert Park and Marton
Albert Park is a large public park south of the centre, and the streets around it are calm and leafy by comparison. Further south, Marton is a residential suburb with a more settled, local feel. Neither is the place for nightlife, but both suit a visitor who wants a restful base and does not mind a short drive or taxi into the centre.

Questions to ask before booking
A few plain questions help a great deal. Is reception staffed late, or is there a keypad or a key safe? Does the entrance open directly onto a busy street? Can you have a room on an upper floor, away from the lift? Is there parking close to the door? The answers tell you more about how an arrival will feel than any photograph will.

If you drive
Ask about parking before you book rather than after you arrive. Some town centre hotels rely on public car parks nearby, which means a walk with luggage, while those on the edge of town more often have their own spaces. Leave nothing visible in the car overnight, and note the closing times of any public car park so that you are not caught out the next morning.

Arriving and leaving without fuss
Book in your own name, carry only what you need and let a friend know the address. If your plans change, contact the hotel rather than simply not turning up. Check out at an ordinary time and avoid waiting around in the lobby.

Frequently asked questions
Yes. The railway station is at the edge of the town centre, so a hotel in the middle of town is a short walk from the platform.
The residential streets around Albert Park and in Marton are quieter than the town centre, though you will probably need a taxi to reach them late in the evening.
