I’ve booked a place by the river about 45 mins walk from the ground and 30 mins walk from the centre/station so everything is within easy reach and keeps options open………I’ll end up walking miles sightseeing anywayMy first thought was to look for a hotel near the ground but for the reason you state, we're going to stay central. Very possibly the Hotel Morgana that others have mentioned as it's bang next to the station which will help with the train stuff we have to do.
