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.”

Featured in New York Times’ 36 Hours in Manchester.

Stayed a number of times, comfortable modern room, nice bar area & good breakfast. Careful which room you are given as some look straight into offices opposite and others are above the tram line which is noisy from early until late

Very good

The location was fantastic! Very close to Piccadilly station and easy to get out to The Co-op Live for a concert. Staff were friendly and accommodating.

Our room 529 was right next to the service door and we constantly heard the door bang with the staff coming and going. The carpet had some weird green bleached patches and weird stains but for the most part it was clean. No fridges or ice machines which would be nice. Very little space to put clothes so be prepared to live out of your luggage.

Great hotel that I’ve stayed in several times. Very near the station with great staff and comfy beds.

For me, the staff make this place because they’re always amenable and try to do everything they can to help. The hotel is very near Piccadilly station, therefore very near the centre of Manchester and that makes it really useful for work.

This place is a bit of a mixture at times. There are no frills in the room so expect to buy water and even the cups are paper. So if you like your tea in a mug, take one up before you go to bed. They don’t do a cooked breakfast but the options on offer in the morning are quite decent as long as you don’t mind paying £16 for your porridge!

Extremely comfy bed, lovely soft fluffy towels, spotlessly clean and great central location

We didn’t have breakfast, strongly suspected it was over-priced for what would be on offer - which proved to be the case! Why can’t hotels offer a sliding scale to match prices to guests’ requirements - some people (us) just wanted a very light breakfast whereas we spotted other guests piling their plates high

Virtually no storage space, so guests have to live out of their suitcases - and nowhere to tidy suitcases away, so constantly tripping over them, quite hazardous in such small rooms - and we are two elderly ladies But loved the many plug sockets, and handily located next to the big mirror (which we also liked) so no squabbling over whose phone charger gets plugged in first. Also really liked soft fluffy towels, too many budgets hotels provide meagre thin towels, and liked the scents of the hand wash and shower wash And the bed was so comfy!
