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.

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.

Clean quiet room. Friendly staff. Great location

Breakfast was spread out in reception area which resulted in some weaving in and out of guests with suitcases checking in or out while carrying hot drinks and plates of food. Not pleasant eating in a thoroughfare.

Would stay again as location was perfect for us. And it was very clean. Highly recommend

It was only a few minutes walk from Piccadilly train station and tram network, ideal location for getting to Etihad campus, we were there for concert at coop live so was perfect location. Free WiFi. Breakfast continental but lovely, daughter would have preferred full English type breakfast but she managed to get some things she liked. Staff lovely and very helpful.

The room was a little small but clean and bed super comfortable.

Quiet rooms and great location.

Comfy bed, two pillows of different type. Super fluffy towels, nice soaps, designer features. Quiet rooms with views,window can be opened, but any noises outside can be sorted by closing and using air conditioning. Big windows, make room bright and airy.

Our room, standard with view, was compact in size. Could be noisy with window open, local train station and trams, and traffic run late into the night. But closing well designed window can stop this.Breakfast is a continental type, so no fry ups in the morning.

Very happy to recommend Motel One for a short stay in Manchester.

I've stayed here before and if you want a place in the middle of Manchester near the station that is well run, then this is hte place.

The ground floor is very dark and not that enticing, especially at breakfast. However, that's it. It's pretty OK. Because of the Marathon and Arsenal/Man City, it was a particularly expensive time to stay.

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)
