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.”

What guests liked

All you need to know

Located in the heart of Manchester, Motel One is bright, clean, and comfortable. Just a short walk from Piccadilly Station, Canal Street, the Gay Village, and Piccadilly Gardens, and about a 25-minute drive from the airport, you’ll be close to everything when you stay at Motel One.

The hotel lobby provides guests with a comfortable atmosphere for lounging, working, and enjoying complimentary snacks and drinks throughout the day. The space feels clean and welcoming with floor-to-ceiling windows, colorful furniture, and comfortable seating. Wake up to a breakfast buffet in the lobby, offering fair-trade coffee and widespread organic goods, from pastries and fruit to cold meats and yogurt.

Motel One’s rooms are sleek and modern, providing an abundance of natural light, crisp white linens, and a neutral color palette. Private bathrooms are chic and clean with standing showers. Guests can choose from two different floor plans: a standard double room with a king bed or a standard queen room with a queen bed. Both of these room choices accommodate up to two guests.

Pet-friendly rooms, free WiFi, heating, air-conditioning, a 24-hour front desk, and an onsite bar make for extremely convenient amenities. The hotel staff speaks a variety of languages, from Greek to Italian, so this hotel is welcoming to travelers from all over the world.

Suppirisingly Good, Pefect for a short break,

Clean, modern/up to date decor. Front desk very accommodating. Nice and quiet up top, Street Level could be noisy. Location is perfect for Manchester Piccadilly. (Opposite station.) City Centre is a seven min walk. EU and UK Plug socket. Never seen that in a GB hotel!

Minor niggle, room was small. No bedside Table! Bar was a little expensive. Note: Parking is available next door managed by third party. book in advance. Breakfast is extra and expensive. (Pret and Costa near by)

A night in Manchester

Everything. The hotel is close to the railway station and only a short walk into the city. A perfect location. With very comfortable beds i slept so well. The staff were very attentive and very polite and friendly. Everywhere was clean and tidy. We did not have breakfast but it did smell good.

Nothing at all. If I had to complain and believe me I'm not, it would be having to look at a wall out of the window. But we are in a city so that's not their fault.

Great central stay with friendly staff, comfortable rooms, and excellent value for money.

Staff were extremely friendlyThe staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The room was comfortable (no frills) and the location was very central (5 minute walk to Manchester Picadilly station).

Not much - if I had to say something, room was slightly on the small side but still great value for money.

Very comfortable hotel to stay and relax in, from the hectic life in the city

Beautiful hotel, nice atmosphere and very clean. The staff were very happy to help and my daughter and I were able to book in straight away first thing the morning, which we didn’t expect to. We were going to just leave our luggage in store, but we got the room there and then. Room was lovely and shower was great. Excellent!

Didn’t stop for breakfast as it was only continental and price was quite dear for just continental. It did still look nice thought when we saw it in the foyer.
