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.”

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.

Comfortable and great location.

Location, location, location! Convenient for station, trams and centre of town. Staff always helpful & price reasonable.

Rooms are characterless, but as I’m only there to sleep it’s no big deal.

Fabulous

The lady on reception was very friendly and enabled an early check in when asked if I couls drop my bags. Location perfect for the train station, and only short walk to all the main city centre areas. Room was large, comfortable bed and clean. Great value for money.

Shower pressure was not great, but everything else was spot on.

Would highly recommend!

The hotel itself was in an ideal location for exploring Manchester (opposite Manchester Piccadilly station) and so close to the city centre for shopping. The staff were very friendly and the hotel room was immaculate.

The only downside to the hotel room was that the air con didn't work so the room was very stuffy. Easily fixed by opening the window but could get loud in the evenings with people and traffic

The girl who checked me in, I’m sure her name was Poppy she was super lovely and really smiley. It’s always nice walking into somewhere you’ve never been before and being greeted by someone as lovely as her! The hotel itself was beautiful, and the rooms was lush. I’d definitely recommend and stay again.

Great location. Room was small but clean and comfy. Really modern, nice interior. Maps tried to take us a long way round to it until we saw a bridge crossing that takes you right near it.

The room went from boiling hot, to freezing through the night. Could not get the temperature right.

My 1st Stay @ Motel One Manchester Picadilly.

Beautiful Hotel and so close to Picadilly Rail Station. The staff were friendly and upgraded my room to take into account me being on crutches to get around. My only criticism is the bathroom flooring. I suffer with extreme nerve pain in my feet and the texture of the bathroom floor was firing all the nerves in my feet. So a score of 99.9 out of 100 from me I would definitely stay there again.

The bathroom floor.

Modern and nicely designed. Clean which is important to me. Great location. Good value for money as I went on a Sunday. Would definitely recommend.

Maybe the breakfast is on the pricey side though I didn’t use it.
