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.

clean pleasant and comfortable, loved the size of the room.
very comfortable bed clean room lovely bathroom coffee machine needs clearer instructions on how to operate l liked the provision of an ironing board and iron.
on our first breakfast, the fried egg, white was under cooked watery. second breakfast, we were the only guessed in the restaurant shown to table but staff left without taking breakfast order or drinks sat waiting for 15 minutes for staff to return to serve us, they were at other end of restaurant seems to be training someone. I had to call their attention as we did not have time due to our schedule of events and travel etc. they quickly remedied the matter by serving us promptly. the staff were polite and efficient.

Very pleasant and excellent staff.
Excellent problem solving - the air conditioning in our room was not functioning and the room was small and hot, so we were upgraded to a larger room which made our stay much more pleasant.
All good

The staff were really lovely and gave me an upgrade which was great. There was lots of variety on the breakfast menu.
The bed was quite soft which for me personally isn’t so great but it was massive and very nice linen.

Location and parking
Didn't not like anything Rooms a little tired- for the price I paid wasn't really worth it. Pictures are lot nicer then the actual rooms. No late bar in the hotel- was rushed to order so the manager can finish work

The location was spot on, the staff couldn't do enough for you and the rooms were clean and comfortable, we couldn't have asked for any more. We will definitely be staying again.
Breakfast was a little pricey.

Loved the room, the location, breakfast choices
Housekeeping staff didn't make my bed properly and didn't change the sheets. I found it done when I got to my room but sheets were creased, bathroom bin had not been emptied and the contents were left next to the wash basin. Reception staff are not trained about local transport to local attractions and don't even know which bus goes to Piccadilly park as an example or even to National express coach station at Charlton street which is only 6 minutes away. For breakfast, only 2 slices of toast are given which are badly burnt in the corners and actually make up just 1 whole slice. No butter is given except when asked. No refill of coffee or juice!

Great central location half way between Picadilly and Victoria. Simple but comfortable room with a really nice and spacious shower room. Loved the original parquet floors and the original art deco tiles and lightshades on the staircase. Fantastic price for what it was

The entrance and bar area was lovely and all the staff were very friendly, however the room was quite dated and not very appealing, it had also not been cleaned the best as the tiles and shower screen had smears and hairs on the bathroom floor. The bed was very comfortable however and it was in a great location, however I would not book again based on the room.

Excellent stay in an excellent city in a great location
Location was great, also very good value for money. Room was also spacious and bed was comfy.
Parking was convenient but as with all other hotels these days, was still an additional cost that we could have done without. It was discounted by the hotel right enough and wouldn't put me off booking again

Stylish hotel with fantastic location.
Beautifully clean and tastefully decorated. Fantastic location with a car park only 50 metres away. Reception staff attentive and well informed. Only towels for one person in the bedroom although we didn’t mind sharing. Dinner was great but the waitress wasn’t well informed about the menu so we ordered extra carbs when both dishes came with potatoes already.

Last min change from a scary hotel in Manchester (solo female traveller)
The giant bed was comfy, the bathroom was fresh and modern, the staff were helpful and the breakfast was nice.
Air conditioning wasn't working, I felt a little uncomfortable with the lock not working from inside the room (even if it couldn't be opened from the outside), the breakfast choice wasn't that large, no self service, just a la carte.

Overall a really lovely experience and room, I'd stay again.
The room was lovely, a huge bed and lots of space and I loved the bathroom, I wish more places had the controls at the opposite end to the shower head.
I was really warm considering it's only March my room was warm and the air con wasn't working (I did ask and was told they're not working) and although I had a fan I did find it really warm for sleeping.
31 March 2025
Overall a great stay, staff are first class.
Fantastic location, staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful. Room was very spacious.
Room could have been a little more modern, would have been helpful to have bedside lamps.

A great hotel but experience tainted by parking issue
Spacious room Great breakfast excellent location
Description on Booking.com says Parking which in my experience means its available FOC but in this case its not so suggest you change it to "parking for extra fee" or remove On arrival no one told me about how the parking arrangement was made so unfortunately for me despite putting my car reg into the computer on reception I was unaware that there was a charge for parking & subsequently received a £60 parking fine. This was frustrating when I had paid for 10 rooms b&b. When I rang hotel after receiving the fine I was told I should have been informed at check in & when I advised that I wasn't I was told its in the small print so not their issue.

The hotel is beautiful and historic. The staff was kind and accommodating. Some street noise, but overall a great stay.
The hotel is beautiful and full of history. The room had everything I needed and it was very comfortable. The staff was incredibly kind and accommodating. I had a competition that day, and they made sure we had an early breakfast, which was very thoughtful. The bathroom was also excellent. Overall, a great experience! Nice restaurant too.
The property is very nice, but be aware that street noise can be an issue. If you’re sensitive to noise, consider requesting a quieter room.
