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.”

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.

Perfect overnighter!

It was easy to find. The communal areas were stylish and it immediately felt like a nice hotel. The room was on the small side but great for a short stay. The bathroom and shower were clean and modern, with toiletries and nice towels. There is a socket near the full length mirror which is great to get your hair done. The air con/heating was controllable. The bed was large and comfortable with great pillows. The room was quiet despite its central location and we had a great nights sleep.

A lack of sockets & anywhere to put your drink down on one side of the bed.

A nice clean and comfortable hotel close to Piccadilly Train Station.

Mostly things were excellent.

excellent over night stay

Good location we travelled by train so this hotel was ideal opposite piccadilly station rooms clean and spacious.

The bar in the hotel did not serve draught beers or lager's just bottles and spirits so we went to another hotel bar that did nearby.

Reliable and comfortable as always.

I like the Motel One chain because prices are quite stable, unlike other Manchester hotels. The staff are very helpful and I was appreciative that, although I arrived in the morning, I was able to check in because a room was available. This made my stay much more comfortable and enjoyable.

Two small quibbles: - a plug in the washbasin would be really good! - most are the breakfast tables are located quite near the London Rd entrance, which means that in winter there are icy draughts whenever someone enters or leaves. I had to move to another table.

Lovely location, immaculate, comfortable room, friendly helpful staff and the foyer was beautiful.

Our room was very clean and comfortable. The bathroom was lovely and immaculately clean. There was plenty of room and our TV had a lovely log fire effect which helped us relax. There was a small hanging rail with gave us enough space to hang our clothes.

No iron in room though I'm sure if we had asked the lovely friendly staff they would have provided one for us.

Very good

The staff were fantastic, the bed was comfortable and the breakfast was pretty good. I was on the 10th floor and couldn't hear a thing from the street. The shower was decent.

The lack of places to put stuff, the bathroom floor being soaked after a shower, I could hear a muffled sound of a neighbour's TV after midnight. The items in the tea tray were a bit cheap. It was great for a night or two.

Comfy, clean, room size was good, nice bathroom, lovely decor, drinks at the bar not too badly priced for a hotel!

Expensive, noisy room with the main road outside, was told a bottle of water added on to the the room would have been £30! Breakfast not included in the price of £180 for 1 night.
