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.”

Very good

We have stayed at this hotel many times and it's always been lovely. The last 2 times, standards have slipped. The previous time, somebody had left their visa application documents on the dressing table along with broken fingers nails. This was brought to management attention. This was in a room that been serviced. This time round, the welcome was warm, reception are amazing and the room clean. However the public toilet had paper towels over flowing out the bin and stank. We waited for ages at the bar for the barman to finish his conversation with a colleague. He twice made eye contact and could of said he would be a moment but instead chose to scowl. Eventually, 2 drinks were poured, rose and rum and coke. Easy. The option to include a tip on the card reader was declined my partner. The bar man actively checked this on the till receipt before aggressively ripping the receipt chit off, and storming off without a word.. Later on he purposly ignored us at he bar which was quiet until we decided to leave and go else where. We won't use this hotel again which is a shame as we travel here every 3 months

Good location for Canal Street

Breakfast is expensive for what’s on offer - very basic. Same room was dramatically more expensive than previous years, with no increase in comfort/quality to justify price hike.

Easy no frills hotel for business travelers.

Great location by the train station. Easy to walk around the old city/downtown. Clean and fresh room. I like that I always know what I get with Motel One.

Light switches are not intuitive. There should be a switch for the fan in the bathroom. No view from window.

Very good, great location

The hotel is at a very convenient location, literally minutes away from Manchester Piccadilly. All staff we interacted with were very friendly and willing to help. The room was clean, on the 11th floor, with great view of the city centre. Everything was clean and the bed was comfortable.

It's the same thing with every Motel One really. I wish the rooms were a bit larger and better equipped - a bedside table is missing in their rooms, as well as a proper wardrobe or chest of drawers. But that's the case for every Motel One, not just this one

Good functional hotel close to the station

The staff were all really friendly and helpful. The room was fine, nothing special, but comfortable and functional. It is located walking distance from the main station. Breakfast was good, there were a lot of choices.

Very conveniently located, clean and comfortable

The location is very convenient, close to the railway station and the Canal Street area. Check-in was very smooth, and the room was clean with a very comfortable bed. We have had issues with tram noises before, but where we were located this time it was very quiet. We had paid for the breakfast in advance, and the selection choice were very good, although there is no cooked breakfast (beyond boiled eggs). Staff were friendly throughout.

The only issue with this hotel is the rims are quite small, and storage space is limited. It's a little bit cramped for two, so fine for a few days, but not for a longer day for us. Oddly from Morton Hotel, the shower wasn't that powerful, but it was okay.

Perfect for a one nighter on a budget

Clean, well located and functional. Practical room, quiet but probably only good for a one night stay

Lacked hanging space - hence the comment about only staying for one night.
