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.

Very comfortable and stylish hotel which is very good value for money.
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.
I would have expected complimentary water in room.

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

Breakfast lovely and good value . Friendly staff Big bed Very clean Towels replaced nice shower products
A lot of overnight street noise so sleep affected Bedside table lamp would have been nice and central light Close to Piccadilly station

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

The hotel was close to the railway station and the tram; room is small but comfortable and ok for 1-2 days
Old world charm
Water pressure in the shower was low and the windows didn’t open in our room
13 October 2025
Great place for city centre visits
Great huge comfy bed and good shower facilities - good location easy to find. The room was spotless and English breakfast was good if a little small for my tastes. The staff were very friendly and helpful.
Free water in the room would have been nice. The room was really hot for my personal taste so I had to leave the fan on all night as there was no way to turn down the AC - the remote wasn't in the room. Had an iron but no ironing board. But these are really nit picking - I would stay again.

Beautiful building and amazing decor. Staff were lovely.
No air conditioning or any form of temperature control in the rooms. Made for an uncomfortable night. That was disappointing.

Great location, interesting building, breakfast superb
The location and building were fabulous just a short walk from the railway station, very easy to find. Room was a decent six and the bed was huge!
There was no heating on in either the bedroom or most importantly the bathroom?? We were told that because nobody else had complained they couldn’t turn it on otherwise the hotel would be too hot??!! They did bring us a portable heater which did warm the room adequately so we did sleep very well indeed. It have been nice to have a heated towel rail though and it’s what one would expect of a 4* hotel surely? I have to say breakfast was definitely one of the best we’ve ever had in a hotel, well worth the £18 per person, excellent 👌

Great last minute booking
The suite was spacious and stylish. The bed was very comfortable and I had a fantastic night's sleep.
There was paint peeling on some walls, so needs a refresh. Also paid £18 in advance for breakfast, but for what I had it would've just been cheaper to buy it in the morning

Nicely designed, top breakfast
Breakfast chef was great. Location. Bathroom. Size of room. Building
£5 voucher scheme odd. Absent receptionists

Nice decor, big rooms, clean hotel. Staff were nice but breakfast could have been better quality.
Reception and waiting staff were great, rooms were spacious and bed was very big. Hotel was very clean, decor was nice and location was great if you wanted to be near the station
The breakfast was pretty average, for example the scrambled eggs were dry and stuck together - they were clearly not cooked fresh and the sourdough was burnt. The bar staff were nice but lacked the skills and training to do the job properly, for example they didn't know what a gin and tonic was. The room didn't have a mirror with good lighting. The 2 in the bedroom were not near any lights and the one in the bathroom was hard to use to do your makeup as the sink was in the way.

Lovely stay would definitely come again, such good value for money.
lovely room and decor, nice dyson heater. Lovely location and helpful staff on check in. Was useful to leave luggage with the hotel during the day of checking out.
Hairdryer was a little weak and floor in bathroom was a little slippery.
