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.

"Chateau Abode!"
The staff, property and interiors were all fab.
Very little and few apart. I'd be nit picking and misleading anyone reading that my experience was anything but very very good overall.

Good room and centrally located for Northern Quarter
Interesting building and lovely room. Location perfect. A really fun break in the city. Parking discount.
Finishes were tired but hotel in transition.

Good value for money
Nice decor, very good breakfast, good staff.
Room way too hot even with the fan on & window slightly open which then ment we could hear quite a bit of outside noise (drunk people, emergency sirens ect...) The tea sachet where good but the coffee was not nice.

Lovely hotel overall but customer service in some areas could be better.
Great location close to the train station. Clean facilities and a lovely breakfast. Morning reception staff and restaurant staff were nice and helpful.
Wasn’t informed in check in how to get the WiFi and no information in the rooms to assist with this. Late shift receptionist seemed like they didn’t want to be there, no smiles or greeting and while she would help when asked she seemed put out to do so. Small interactions like that can really bring down a stay

Special Stay
The room was outstanding. Loved the large windows with views all around, wooden floors and extremely comfortable bed. Very different from most hotels so it felt very special
Breakfast was a bit confusing when it was included. I like to have a few small dishes at breakfast
20 January 2026
Great stay for a night when visiting.
Room was clean and cosy. Location was central, transport system is great. Staff are polite & friendly. Would stay again.
If travelling by car, surrounding car parks are expensive. The hotel does offer a discount for a few parks though!

Super stylish hotel in great location.
Lovely hotel, comfy bed and really really nice bathrooms. The staff were helpful and friendly. Super short walk from Piccadilly train station and busses.
If I want to be picky, the poached eggs at breakfast were like rocks. It would be helpful if you could plug the hairdryer near a mirror. These are really the only negative things I could find though.

Location was good
The air conditioning in our room wasn’t working, there was no way to control the radiators and so it was absolutely boiling. They had provided a fan, but still pretty poor. Room was also booked for 2 people and only one set of towels put out. Generally just felt a bit average for the price.

Great hotel on all counts.
I've always found Manchester quite pricey for hotels, but this was great value and a great location being a few minutes walk from Piccadilly station and the same again to Piccadilly gardens. Nice room, and the decor in the common areas was a nice touch.
I honestly can't think of anything negative to say at all, apart from the shower leaked on the floor but easily solved by putting a towel down!

Comfortable stay
The location was great for an active city stay and was suitable to exit the city to other areas in the car. It is a clean and tidy hotel with the staff doing a great job with daily cleaning. Room was warm and spacious. Lighting was good in the room although one of the bedside lamps were faulty
The rooms were slightly dated in it's decor, no fridge and the TV has limited options, as it was an old flat screen

Decent, great location and cheap

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.

Soundproofing of room poor because windows would not fully close. Lighting in room poor because only one table light

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
2 December 2025
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
