ABode Hotel, Manchester
Expert reviews
“The original fittings at this converted textile factory have been combined successfully with 61 bedrooms divided into four categories of ever-increasing luxury: Comfortable, Desirable, Enviable and Fabulous on Fifth, the latter being five seriously swanky top-floor suites.”
“ABode Manchester, set in a striking 19th-century former textile warehouse, is just a two-minute walk from Piccadilly railway station. Original features such as parquet flooring and metal columns combine with quirky décor to create a stylish retreat, while a decent food and drink offering makes staying in an option.”

All you need to know
Comprising 61 rooms, ABode Manchester boasts stylish accommodations in a Victorian warehouse building. While the exterior of this structure looks historic and vintage, the interior has been refurbished with chic and contemporary design while still maintaining a few of the old-timey elements. You will notice intricate craftsmanship, a vintage staircase, and grandiose chandeliers throughout the building.
Choose from three basic rooms: Comfortable, Desirable, and Enviable. All of these rooms come with beautiful design elements, like crown molding, high ceilings, wood floors, and lovely window treatments. Each bathroom features colorful and unique tiling, along with standing glass showers. Enjoy walk-in showers, luxury bedding, and climate control, but upgrade to the Enviable room for a separate living area.
This property also has higher-tier rooms that feel like mini-apartments, all individually designed to create one-of-a-kind experiences. Guests can enjoy extra room and charming quirks, like spiral staircases and skylights, in these upgraded spaces.
You can have breakfast for an additional fee at Brasserie Abode, with menu items ranging from fresh pastries to a full English breakfast. Order in-room cocktails from the bar menu for a fun night indoors.
Right across from Piccadilly Station, and only a few minutes’ walk to the Northern Quarter, ABode Manchester offers an incredibly central location, perfect for sightseeing and exploring.

We would use this hotel again when we stay in Manchester
The flooring and complimentary make over of the original interior The location was good
Rudeness of the lady on the reception when we arrived. Counter balanced by the gentleman who was friendly and helpful when we checked out.

Great location with friendly staff
Location was great. Bed was comfortable.
Would have preferred a buffet breakfast or greater flexibility in the menu. Retro style room wasn’t to my taste.

Not bad value for money.
Good location, car park around the corner. Staff were very nice. The room was clean and spacious. Cocktails at the bar were delicious.
The room did get very hot at night and were not able to open the windows. We had breakfast the next morning and had to wait a very long time for food as did many other customers. The staff seemed very rushed and stressed. Wouldn’t recommend staying for breakfast as customers said this happened the morning before also. Changed company recently so don’t know if it has something to do with that?

Beautiful renovation of an old factory. Great character. Staff friendly.
It was a little cool in the bedroom but that was to be expected with the high ceilings

Great little hotel.
Ideal location for the Christmas Markets and Arndale Centre. All within walking distance.
Room was cold when we first arrived and we had to ask for additional teabags. Shower head was loose so it kept flying off the holder, subsequently soaking the bathroom.

Great location, great hotel!
Great Location, a nice big room, warm and comfortable but a bit spartan if you have to spend a lot of time in it! Good big bathroom and great shower
Room a bit spartan, good if you are a younger person but if you had to spend a lot of time in the room it would be a bit dreary

Love the style of the hotel incorporating original features of the building with a mid century modern style in the rooms. Staff very efficient and friendly.

Good location close to the train station and city center. Very nice lobby and hotel restaurant. Well-equipped room—it had everything you could need for a short stay.
You can see that the rooms are a bit old.

Super hotel in an ideal location
The breakfast was excellent . The location was just what we needed to get into town and also to the co op arena . We found the room cold from 3-6 pm but when we came back from the concert it was warm and throughout the night too .
Just it was a little cold in the afternoon

Enjoyed hotel and area .we should have asked for room not towards side/front as street noise
Breakfast lovely and good value . Friendly staff Big bed Very clean Towels replaced nice shower products

Location was great and it was good value for money. Room was a good size and had everything we needed
The heating was on and the remote had been removed from the room so we couldn’t turn it down. It meant there was a constant noise all night

Excellent spot for a short business trip.
We weren't in Manchester for very long but it was a comfy bed and excellent shower. The room was bright and clean and it felt very kitsch.
Not much. It was all very nice.
27 October 2025
Very good
The period features of the hotel. The coziness of the restaurant
For the price paid, I was expecting some free water and biscuits with the tea and coffee. So, that was a little let down

20 October 2025
Clean, comfortable and well located. Perfect but for a broken A/C
Room had a good amount of space and was well furnished. The bathroom was very nice too with a nice big shower. Very close to the northern quarter of the city meant evening spots were a short wall away. Bed was nice and soft, though almost too soft!
A/C was broken and there was a replacement fan - the fan was good quality but didn't cool the room down as much so had to sleep without the duvet.
20 October 2025
Pleasant
Excellent location, beautiful building, stylish interior, friendly staff.
The room as a bit "tired" - some minor dents here and there + I expected a much higher level of cleanliness for a hotel of this level. It wasn't too bad and dirty obviously, but not at a level when you feel like at home. There is definitely room for improvement there.
20 October 2025
Top location, big rooms
Very nice location very close to Manchester Picadilly. The staff were very nice, the room was quite big (high ceilings as well).
The hotel has been bought and is undergoing a rebranding. We arrived at the moment someone was changing the signs at the door. That might confuse people.

Comfortable bed, great location, outstanding breakfast, great WiFi connection in the room.
Central heating, so not possible to turn off the heat in the room, and it was boiling. (One) silverfish in the bathroom. Two coffee bags in the room for a 3-night stay? Not sufficient! They were not replenished day 2, I had to ask for them, but only got them day 3. Bad WiFi connection in the public areas.
17 October 2025
Pleasant
Comfortable room with some original features of the building. Comfy bed, though it was a bit low. Modern bathroom with large walk in shower. All in room necessities provided. Excellent city centre location.
Room decor needs an update; lamps missing from the main light fixture, peeling wallpaper, grey window netting and a cardboard painting that was just glued onto a frame and coming loose. The two members of reception staff at check in weren't very friendly and seemed really bored.
16 October 2025
Very nice with lots of positives!
The biggest bed in all the years I have travelled! - The lounge area added some real enjoyment as it was spaced out and comfortable
A little bit on the cold side as lots of steel girders in the room.
