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.

Great location, amazing sleep in super comfy bed
Bed was extremely comfortable Location was perfect in the City
Lift wasn’t working at all from check-in to check-out. Whilst not officially diagnosed with a disability, my wife has a knee injury and walking up/down to the 3rd floor was of some difficulty.

Couldn't get the TV or the cooler in the room working - lifts not in service , breakfast service very slow...food ok.

Had a brilliant weekend in Manchester and this hotel was the icing on the cake
Loved its quirky and individual character and that it was not your run of the mill accommodation…..location was brilliant, very central for shopping and for travel to the Etihad Stadium where we went for a concert……also the arranged offsite parking was very close to the hotel and discounted for residents of hotel on registering your car on arrival……..would recommend this hotel for a stay in Manchester and would definitely stay there again.
The only one downside during our stay was that the lift was out of order over the whole of the weekend and we were staying on 3rd floor and there didn’t appear to be a back up if you were not able to do the stairs.

Excellent Hotel, perfect location for shops etc. will stay on next visit to Manchester
Reception Staff is excellent. Location and car park across the road
Dining, waited 15 mins to take the order, then had to stop one of them to order, coffee and orange came quickly but the VERY long wait for food the coffee was COLD. The hash brown did not order, the knife was so blunt could not cut the burnt toast. 2 of the 3 eggs came poached OK. The table next to mine was not cleared after my 30min+ breakfast, NOT good enough, others also not cleaned. The VERY low camp bed was a surprise, normal bed PLEASE

Great building in good location but has a few niggles.
Location. Fantastic old building. Room size. Great shower. WiFi coverage good.
Breakfast was poor. Poached eggs were not cooked properly- snotty! Bread not toasted enough. We were the only guests in the restaurant at the time so there was no reason why. No fridge in room, minibar or complimentary water.

Great vintage hotel near Piccadilly train station
The hotel has a nice authentic vibe with all the vintage elements in the room. We really enjoyed the decor. The bed was huge and very comfortable. Super location near the train station
The heating system made a constant noise all night long.

Great stay, close to Manchester Piccadilly
I liked the bathroom and the style of the building. Nice brasserie, Ala cart breakfast which was delicious.

Perfect location
Located 200 metres from Piccadilly station, ideal location.
Unfortunately the lift was out of order at time of stay and we were on the 3rd floor.

Would definitely recommend and stay there again.
Very styleee. The person (a tall male) who checked us in was very attentive and helped us several times with carrying our heavy bags up the stairs along with calling us a taxi and giving us helpful tips for our first visit to Manchester.
It would have been good to have a small bar fridge. This is the first time we’ve not found a fridge in a hotel room. To be honest we didn’t even check when booking because we thought they were a give in. It is our first time in the UK though so maybe this is typical?

Fine
The location
Garbage under the bed. One towel provided for 2 people. Broken elevators.

Perfect hotel for a short city break
The bed was super comfy, and the location was so ideal- being close to the city, yes it was rather noisy, but that’s what you expect when you’re located in the middle of the city centre.
Breakfast service was a little slow and my breakfast was not put through which was a little bit of a bummer, but I got my breakfast in the end, which was delicious! Also, the lift was not working at the time, so climbing up to level 4 was a bit tricky at times, especially after a few glasses of wine

The hotel is a favourite of ours due to its central location & easy parking .
Excellent location friendly helpful staff /value for money .
Broken lift & breakfast & bar felt expensive .

The stay at MalMaison was fine. We don’t have any real complaints. Difficult if you can’t climb into the bath for a show
We didn’t stay here. We were moved to MalMaison, a sister hotel, because the lift wasn’t working at Abode.
MalMaison was very dark. Difficulty seeing.

Great location, large room but missing fine details.
Very comfy and large bed. Size of room and bathroom. Dyson fan.
Very hot room which was uncomfortable at times. Broken Aircon and lift. Lack of facilities such as mini fridge, coat hooks and umbrella holder/stand.
