New York Times review:

“Across from the Piccadilly Rail Station, the sleek design inside Motel One, an outpost of the German budget hotel chain, makes up for the more dingy feel of the street outside.”

Located in the heart of Manchester, Motel One is bright, clean, and comfortable. Just a short walk from Piccadilly Station, Canal Street, the Gay Village, and Piccadilly Gardens, and about a 25-minute drive from the airport, you’ll be close to everything when you stay at Motel One.

The hotel lobby provides guests with a comfortable atmosphere for lounging, working, and enjoying complimentary snacks and drinks throughout the day. The space feels clean and welcoming with floor-to-ceiling windows, colorful furniture, and comfortable seating.

Motel One certainly impressed!

The bed was comfortable, the room clean (small but very efficient use of space), shower adequate-good, location convenient, staff friendly and helpful.

The breakfast add-on seemed pricey, and the shower screen could not prevent the bathroom floor from getting soaked.

Great location , must stay

We arrived before the check in time and was going to leave our bags and come back later but the room was ready . Staff was lovely, the room was clean and sound proof , best nights sleep I have had in ages . Short walk into the centre which is nice . Will definitely be returning.

Loads of rubbish on the tables as you walk into the hotel , was there for hours .

Very good

Literally across the road from Manchester Piccadilly. The lady on reception was lovely and friendly.

Room was quite basic and felt a little dated compared to the reception/bar area. Drains in the bathroom were also pretty smelly.

Very good

Comfortable and clean, perfect for a short stay, conveniently located across from Piccadilly station. The shower gel and hand wash smelled amazing, bed was big and comfy. Overall good value, would stay again.

Our room on the first floor felt like a basement room, would have preferred a higher floor. Not as stylish as other hotels of the same chain.

Great hotel, central location, comfy beds and rooms were modern and clean.

Great location, really clean, bargain at £180 for 2 nights. really great location, quiet room, comfy beds, couldn't ask for more really - except a bit more space :)

The room was pretty small, but we only stayed 2 nights so it was fine. had we been staying any longer I would have wanted more space, especially places to put clothe as it was limited.

Fab hotel in a great location with lovely staff

Staff were exceptional, arrived at the hotel at 11am hoping to leave our bags and check in later but our rooms were already available which was amazing. Lovely attentive and understanding as we were stuck in Manchester due to our trains being cancelled because of a storm. Rooms lovely and clean and hotel is in an excellent location next to the train station.

I recommend this hotel

Premium style accommodation at a budget price. Beautifully appointed. Looks very high end given the room rate. Only reason I didn't give full marks is that breakfast. It was absolutely great for the money and it absolutely suited me but just to let readers know there wasn't really a cooked option other than boiled eggs.

It was all great.

Pleasant comfortable relaxing stay.

I was amazed by the beautiful room, I was not expecting it to be that spacious, I could open the window, that is a pls for me. Overall it was a perfect match for me and my fussy self, my husband slept well, supper comfy bed....and it was big...! Staff super nice. Clean hotel through out. I will be back. Thanks

My only down size it only has continental breakfast, I preferred my cooked breakfast. My breakfast is the most important meal of the day for me it would have being the cherry on the icing cake. Continental looks really good, but it's not to my taste.
