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.

Thoroughly enjoyed the hotel and the location. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly.
Omar went out of his way to find a cooler room for me. His efforts were much appreciated.
The elevator was out of service. Apparently this is not unusual.

Great location, reasonably priced and the food was nice,would recommend.
Location excellent, 5 min walk from Piccadilly train station. Large room,clean. Cooked Breakfast was very tasty. On chap on reception was very pleasant and personable.made us feel welcome.
The interior in general was a bit tired in places but that’s what we expected by choosing an older style building. The room windows sound proofing was not great, but again we were in the city centre location so expected some noise.

The location is excellent, friendly staff and great value for money. We really enjoyed the breakfast and the discounted parking
Size of the room could have been slightly bigger
12 April 2026
Bit tired but good location for exploring on foot.
Close to Piccadilly railway station and free buses which made getting around the city easy
Appliances a bit worn and needing patience to use. TV picture weirdly sized so that the top was cut off and saw talking mouths rather than full face. Disconcerting watching the news as well as other programmes. Lift was out for maintenance for a full day.

Beautiful hotel, good value for Manchester City centre
Beautiful building with period features, spacious room with high ceilings, big windows and tasteful decor, good selection of clipper teas. Pleasant receptionist. Great central location
The lift wasn’t working. The full English breakfast was quite overcooked and I felt very sorry for the waiter who was lovely but seemed to be on his own. Hire more restaurant staff! A desk lamp in the room would’ve been helpful.

Good Value Room, Avoid Restaurant Though
Clean, comfy, lovely spacious bathroom.
A little fridge within the room would make this perfect. Slight hiccup when I arrived, no hot water - was fixed a few hours later. The cafe/restaurant downstairs was not great, waited to be seated at sign for 20 mins - no staff came out, sat myself, waited another 20 mins. Ask what I wanted, said drink and made to go up and order at the bar - whilst he served everyone else at table. Service left a little to be desired there. Couldn’t fault the staff at front desk.

Pleasant
The bed and the size of the room. The location was perfect. Facilities in the room were an added bonus.
We wasn't told of the parking options in advance therefore paid £27 for parking overnight at a nearby multi storey. The noise from the road even with double glazing.

Excellent choice , large stylish room, delicious breakfast
Modern but with old world charm
Hotel is great value for money

Would definitely stay again, brilliant value for money
A very high standard hotel for such a good price. The breakfast was very good.
The room did get a bit stuffy and the radiator did not turn off, it seemed to be faulty.

Nice hotel, lad on reception was really helpful
Original features in the main entrance and staircase are fantastic. Breakfast was really good and the young lad on reception checking us in was really welcoming and helpful in us finding our way to where we wanted to be

Great stay, will return
Fantastic position, building and decor

Ideal for for short stay in Piccadilly Manchester
Great location, nice impression as you enter, most staff are friendly and room has lots of space and high ceilings. Good bathroom and room interior, plenty of refreshments. Comfy pillows. Cocktails were good. Liked interior of bar and would be nice to have information about what the building was in it's previous life. Emily was a friendly staff member at breakfast. It looks a lot better to the photo used on booking.com. Would stay again.
Lift terribly slow. No room signs to guide customers where to go. Place seems a bit of maze if you get disoriented. It wasn't a peaceful night, whether it was internal heating system alongside the outside noise, i will probably ask for the quiet side. You need your spinach to draw the massive curtains! Was quite warm in room, no way to control heating or get some cool air through. The internal large window did open and hoped the draft would come through. Perhaps wouldn't want to stay here in summer. The breakfast was ok but not amazing and doesn't match the cost, i would probably find a spoons or a cafe nearby. I asked for no mushroom but was the plate. No butter with bread, had to ask for that as well as sauce, staff not forthcoming to ask if you want anything else. The bathroom handle fell off, fortunately had already used bathroom. Would like a small guide with details about what is nearby and also menus for bar in the room as you would expect etc. Some wear and tear and not much attention to lower level of skirting areas in room, no room down either side of bed so if you're a larger person perhaps avoid 102. Plenty of plug sockets, but only one by bedside and was tricky to reach.

Huge comfy bed and nice restaurant, close to train station
27 March 2026
Very comfortable huge bed.
Full of character and charm.
Just a minor observation, nothing bad here. Mismatch of old and new styles in the furniture.
27 March 2026
Comfortable rooms, friendly staff, great location
I've tried several hotels in Manchester and this is the one I keep coming back to. Characterful building in a very convenient location for the station and for the bars and restaurants of the Northern Quarter.
I didn't seem to be able to turn down the heating in my room.
26 March 2026
Fabulous
I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The location is very central, which made everything super convenient, especially being just a 4-minute walk from Manchester Piccadilly station. There are also plenty of cafes, restaurants, and bars right around the corner. The staff were friendly, approachable, and easy to communicate with, which made the experience even better. The room was clean, and the bed and sheets were incredibly comfortable—I honestly slept like I was on clouds. I didn’t get a chance to try the breakfast, so I can’t comment on that. Late check-in was available, which was also a big plus.
The only downside for me was the price—it felt a little costly for what you get. That said, I understand this seems to be quite common in Manchester overall.

23 March 2026
comfortable, all staff very pleasant and polite especially booking in desk
eating area and bar very pleasant. nice to see old parts of the building still in place and very nice bathroom
the room itself was fine but the bed was very, very low to the ground and very limited room especially on one side of the bed by the window wall had to more or less shuffle along the bed. We came back for food in the afternoon my wife is Gluten Free so more limited options as normal she ordered the shredded duck salad but no duck, she then ordered ham hock salad but, no ham hock. only salad option was caesar salad but obviously could not have the croutons so asked for chicken with it so basically got a bed of salad leaves with some chicken on top. Finally we then had to wait quite a while for our meals as we were told that the chicken had not been prepared by the earlier chef. I had the club sandwich so also waited for the chicken. Very disapointing

A great hotel in an ideal location - good value.
A really great hotel in an ideal location. Good sized twin room with an excellent breakfast. Location was easy to get to with parking just behind the hotel. Would definitely use again if visiting Manchester,

Great location. Outside car parking available less than 5 minutes walk away at a discounted price. Beautiful old building with modern amenities. You get what you pay for but I’d definitely stay here again.

Beautiful and well-located hotel.
We were upgraded to a lovely top floor suite, which was really comfortable, calm and stylish. The hotel itself is just beautiful, with original art nouveau tiles on the stairs. The staff are extremely kind and helpful.
The hotel is waiting for some work to be done... The lift didn't go all the way to the top floor because of a fault, and a tap fell off the bath – but these issues didn't affect our stay at all.

Hotel fine but never have breakfast there, eat out.
Location good , staff helpful hotel clean
Breakfast very very expensive , The Ivy much cheaper. Only told about dawn to dusk offer / discount when i enquired on check out after seeing a small poster by the lift. This offer should be explained to everyone on check in .

Spacious room, well decorated. Free sparkling water was a nice touch.
Shower wasn't quite warm enough! Bed was a bit too soft.

Easy to get to, central and clean
Easy to find, right in the centre of where we needed to be
We arrived and was told the room was ready-we’d asked for a high up room as Piccadilly is loud. Went to the room and it wasn’t yet ready-there was still rubbish and bedding left from the last occupants

Perfect weekend stay
Great staff! A really friendly and super helpful man (sorry we didn’t get your name!) at the reception gave us great recommendations and upgraded our room! Would definitely stay again next time we are in Manchester.
