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.

Excellent value for money . Beautiful old.building in a great location.. The room was massive. Bed super comfy. Breakfast was really good, table service and good choice. The only little niggle was the water temperature and pressure in the shower. Overall for what we paid would definitely recommend and stay again
Water pressure and temperature in the shower wasn't great.

Great stay in beautiful hotel great central location
The property itself was beautiful keeping old staircases and tiling etc. the room was lovely and spacious and really liked that there was a Bluetooth speaker as we were going to a concert.
The shower tray filled up fast so had to take a short shower, I’m guessing the plug needs unclogging. It also looked like the ceiling had been fixed up with the wall colour (which we did laugh about) and it was a little uncomfortable sleeping on the window side as the light shone under the short curtains. There was definitely some wear and tear issues that made some parts look a little scruffy, could definitely do with a touch up. These issues didn’t stop us from enjoying the hotel though!

Great value stay
Amazing location, parking across the road in Q park Lovely look and feel Nicely decorated
Not great lighting in rooms (for getting ready as a woman)

Situated in the heart of Manchester, easy access to trams & shopping. Hotel has many original features that I love, particularly the staircase. Room was really large & spacious with additional sofas & chairs. The bed was x x extra large, it was really comfortable, I had a really good night sleep. Staff very friendly & professional.
Soap dispensers, I found it was difficult to push down & receive the soap. Probably in the room that we stayed in, needed a bit of TLC, lick of paint, but I'm being really picky.

Really good. Would stay again
Great location, good breakfast and nice room
The lighting wasn’t the best. More mood lighting needed I think- and a make-up/ shaving mirror would have been good

Very spacious room with a huge comfy bed. Great shower facilities. Room was warm, clean and comfortable. Staff were friendly and welcoming, couldn't have asked for much more really.
Not that cheap but that's probably my own fault for leaving it fairly late to get a room on Valentines day.
15 February 2026
Ok
Comfortable bed. Excellent breakfast. Nice staff.
Window doesn't open. Heat was unbearable. Turned it off at the radiator but it didn't turn off. Used a fan in the room which didn't make a huge difference.

"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.
22 January 2026
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.

There is no possibility to say that we don't want to change our Towel. Itshould be possible to keep it same days to save same energy and water (and money for the hotel!)

Great location with unique decor.
Great location. Interesting design features to the rooms which make it unique. Beautiful bathroom.
Mattress could be more comfortable.

Pleasant
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
Location was great. Good price for somewhere to just get your head down.
The room was very dated. Only the bathroom looked new
