Expert reviews

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.”

What guests liked

All you need to know

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. Wake up to a breakfast buffet in the lobby, offering fair-trade coffee and widespread organic goods, from pastries and fruit to cold meats and yogurt.

Motel One’s rooms are sleek and modern, providing an abundance of natural light, crisp white linens, and a neutral color palette. Private bathrooms are chic and clean with standing showers. Guests can choose from two different floor plans: a standard double room with a king bed or a standard queen room with a queen bed. Both of these room choices accommodate up to two guests.

Pet-friendly rooms, free WiFi, heating, air-conditioning, a 24-hour front desk, and an onsite bar make for extremely convenient amenities. The hotel staff speaks a variety of languages, from Greek to Italian, so this hotel is welcoming to travelers from all over the world.

Close to Piccadilly railway station. Friendly quick check in. Good value.

No kettle and coffee on the room, which is probably reflected in the price.

Great stay overall, great location with absolutely fantastic staff!

Excellent location with all attractions within walking distance, and just off the train station. Member of staff are super friendly, polite and helpful. Room is very clean and the bathroom is nicely sized with a good shower. Breakfast is very good.

Only drawback is the air conditioning in our room which was quite loud and could not be switched off. The room comes with instructions for the air conditioning but our panel was locked. This was confirmed when we called the reception that we did not have control over it. Luckily my partner and I were both so tired it didn’t prevent us from falling asleep, it it was annoying nonetheless.

Hotel is in great central location near Oxford street and staff very friendly. Bed is very comfortable to sleep in.

Breakfast is plentiful but no cooked English breakfast 😭. That’s the only snag

Nice.

I requested an iron and ironing board. I was advised I needed to collect from the reception. I would have preferred the items to have been in the room already. No one made reference to it when I checked in.

well worth it

the location is excellent - the hotel fittings are well maintained and the staff are fabulous!

I was (perhaps as an englishman) dissappointed there was no English Breakfast - but I was absolutely fine with the ''German'' one - with the exception there was no marmite - good job I take my own!

Location was good little bit noisy as close to the trams exiting the tunnel. I just used earplugs at night which it was too much of an issue.

No milk in the rooms for the coffee and tea.

Well located hotel.

Hotel is really well located with lots of bars and restaurants close by. Reception facilities are good and the staff are friendly. Rooms are clean if a little tired now.

We booked three rooms. We had an issue at check in when we found that one of the rooms had not been made up when we entered it. Bed was unmade, rubbish in room and bathroom not touched. The hotel moved us into another room. Having also requested quieter rooms if possible the second of the three rooms we had was next to the lifts. The hotel accommodated our request to move this one. The third room was OK.

Good, simple, and cost effective place to stay in Manchester. The staff were great and the room was clean.

There was a small misunderstanding with my cash payment and receipt, but it was quickly resolved the next morning in just a couple of minutes, and the staff were very apologetic.

Lack of storage could be an issue if staying longer than 3 day/nights and a window that opens more than a crack would have been nice.

Great stay in Manchester

Staff were very friendly and welcoming, room was clean and had everything I needed to make my stay comfortable 😊

I'd have liked a way to use my streaming services on the television maybe. Freeview channels were available but I do not watch regular television. This was a small issue
