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.”

Featured in New York Times’ 36 Hours in Manchester.

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.

Lovely space, great decor and exceptional staff. A bar that's open late and a great downstairs layout makes it comfortable any time of day. Great room, supervision comfortable bed and amazing value.

Well located hotel in Manchester

Close to Manchester Piccadilly station. Not having to key in your card for the lift was handy. Rooms were spacious and clean. Got a room with a view which was a bonus.

No in house laundry service or laundry facilities. But I understand if you are into travelling to one location and back you shouldn’t need laundry being done.

Very good stay in central Manchester, close to train st and shops and restaurants! Only governing walk to the Xmas marke

Close and convenient to the centre very modern

Property was very nice well maintained the only negatives I have would be the pillows were rubbish, one pillow was that softer was almost flat and the other was far too plump and hard. Breakfast was a good variety of items but nothing hot such as a cooked breakfast which when booking it says breakfast included but doesn’t tell you it’s not a cooked breakfast!

Comfortable stay after a concert.

The location is ideal! We were there for a concert in the co-op arena and Piccadilly station is about a 2 minute walk away so was very handy for trains and trams heading that direction. The hotel itself is so clean and staff are very approachable and friendly. The room again was very clean and tidy, the bed was very comfortable and room amenities are good! Breakfast was also lovely, however, if looking for hot items they only have boiled eggs. They have lovely yoghurt with lots of different toppings to add and have plenty of continental breakfast items to choose from.

No complaints.

A lovely hotel at a cheap price in the heart of Manchester with friendly staff!

The hotel was clean with a modern design in an excellent location right next to Piccadilly Station with central Manchester just a 5 minute walk away. The staff were also very friendly and helpful and seemed to go the extra mile to make sure we had a lovely stay!

Nothing! We had a perfect stay :)
