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.”

Great location staff was lovely barring the cleaners who would not leave us alone when we had paid for a late checkout:(

The cleaners rushing us when we had paid 2 hours extra they said they want to get home and they need to get in to clean it while we're there!

I love this chain of city hotels. They're always well located and modern. Late check-out and luggage storage were available so it was all very convenient.

Breakfast could improve. There are no warm options for vegans and the variety is limited.

A comfortable and enjoyable stay.

Very nice breakfast. Lovely, big, comfortable bed and great pillows. Good shower. Tastefully decorated room with good “blackout” curtains. Bedroom and bathroom very tastefully decorated. Very pleasant and helpful staff. Nice bar.

Those breakfast tables by the front door got a blast of cool/cold air every time the door opened - which was often. Just one set of cups for hot drinks and water - and they were paper, not pot.

Motel One-Great Night

Great location, reception staff welcoming & professional. Spacious modern reception and good bar. The room was clean, modern, comfortable bed, good shower, tea and coffee facilties. Would definitely stay here again Thanks x

There was nothing to dislike. Would have been fantastic if there were Clipper instant hot chocolate sachets, but that's because I love hot chocolates :)

It's always a pleasure to stay at Motel One.

It always amazes me that Motel One is classed as a 'budget' hotel as it feels anything but. Motel One is, by far, my fav hotel chain and whenever I come to Manchester I always check if it's available. And if it is, I book it! The rooms are fantastic. Spacious, clean and the most comfy beds. The bathroom is always spotless. It is also perfectly located, literally across the road from Piccadilly train station.

Nothing.

Safe cosy stay for 2 Nights. Wish it was longer

I felt safe and the Hotel is lovely. Modern. With class though. Nearby the train station ( that’s where I wanted) .. the rooms and reception area were made to feel cosy by these cleaver TV log fire burning line a real fire. Lived my room 70-1 especially bc of corner building windows and lots of lights to come in 🥰. The breakfast Not an English style .. which is great. No. Greasy food! So in between continental and Brits. @Reception : Everybody’s smiling, Friendly, Polite. Thank you x Solo Traveler x

Nothing. Nada. Niente!

Excellent stay, comfy bed, convenient location.

Excellent room with comfortable bed, highly convenient location very close to Piccadilly station. No noise, I slept like a log. Delicious all-I-could-eat breakfast.

I wish I could have been given a glass or cup to clean my teeth. All I had for hot drinks and teeth cleaning were two flimsy, fragile paper cups.

Location great, staff were lovely and helpful. Hotel was very clean

Floating toilets, they just always seem unstable to me, one of the lifts appeared to not be working so sometimes we were waiting a long time for the lift and when it arrived it was full of people.

We enjoyed a quite stay with lovely staff and comfortable room

The breakfast was expensive but there was plenty of choice. Staff were very helpful.

Proper cups in the room would have been nice. And glasses for water.
