Expert reviews

New York Times review:

“Across from the Piccadilly Rail Station, the sleek design inside Motel One, an outpost of the German budget hotel chain, makes up for the more dingy feel of the street outside.”

Very good

Location. Handy for station. Good value.

Only one member of staff behind bar when customers come in from a big concert. This has happened to a us a few times at this hotel - so we went to the pub next door. No view - we saw nothing but a brick wall from our window. Was no point asking to be moved as we're going to be out most of the time.

Fantastic service. Thank you

Absolutely lovely stay, my partner proposed to me at a concert and the hotel upgraded our room, when we walked in the room was all decorated in petals and balloons and free drink at the bar each. Felt so special. Thank you.

Nothing we didn’t like.

Great location. Very polite, helpful staff when checking in. Very clean room, bed was incredibly comfortable

The windows weren't great as opened outwards from the top so didn't cool the room down much

The room was lovely and clean , and the good size of a room was perfect for a couple of nights stay. The bed was comfortable, pillows were perfect, one hard and one soft. Staff were lovely and very helpful. Will definitely stay in this chain of hotel again.

Enjoyed our stay.

It's location is close to Piccadilly station and is a few minutes' walk to Piccadilly gardens and all the shopping areas. The staff were very welcoming and helpful with all our queries. Though the room did not have a cupboard, it had rods with hangers, which was very convenient. The toilet felt a bit small but was very functional. Overall, it was a very pleasant stay.

We traveled up by train and the motel was very close to the station which was very helpful especially as I walk with a stick. Staff were very pleasant and helpful.

The only complaint I had was the mattress was a bit to soft for my liking due to having problems with my back and hip.

The only thing missing was perhaps more space to put your luggage.

Good choice apart from some minor faults

Located right next to Manchester Piccadilly Railway Station - just cross the road and take the lift or escalator up to the station hall. Very quiet as it is not next to the railway lines. Staff at Reception were very efficient and helpful. Price very reasonable.

Not enough table surface to lay out your things, and space for hanging clothes for 5 nights stay of us couple. The carpet was not vacuumed for the whole period of stay despite leaving a note in the room after the 4th night to request this. Forgotten to replenish the teabags and coffee once, so had to go down to Reception to get them

Adequate, but could do better.

The downstairs area is lovely. Very stylish. The location is perfect.

The room was starting to get shabby. The television wouldn't work until we took it off the wall to switch it on from the plug. We were given a disabled adapted room, so can only presume the hotel was full. That was fine, but the toilet was way too close to the sink unit. Im only 5 foot 2 and small build. When I was sat on the toilet, the sharp corner of the sink unit was 1 inch above my thigh. It was way too cramped and must be impossible for a disabled person to use. There was no way of contacting reception from the room. Our view was of a brick wall, but I appreciate not every room can have a view. This hotel was very adequate for our needs, but could do better.

My partner thought it was the most comfortable hotel bed he had ever slept in. The room was exceptionally clean. I would say basic, but perfectly formed. Staff were friendly and helpful. The location is great for the CoOp Arena and a little TLC shopping. Thank you, Motel One Picadilly Manchester, we will be back again.

Would definitely stay there again.

Lobby and room were very beautiful. Everything was very clean. The hotel is located a 2 min walk from Picadilly Station, and a very big shopping center. Also a lot of Pubs and restaurants nearby.

I stayed 4 nights and I only had one small issue. Being a motel ususally for a short stay, my room was not equipped with a fridge which I would have liked. For the exact same reason, there was no closet, just a rack with some clothe hangers. I guess it makes sense, but I didn't think of it before booking. Even so, I was very comfortable in my room. The problems I mentioned were not of vital importance to me, but maybe for someone it is. GIven all that, I am definitely staying there next time I am in Manchester.
