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.”

What guests liked

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.

Great location and good price.

Great location near the station. Rooms are clean & spacious enough. Breakfast had lots of options.

Personally don’t like the plastic cups & wooden stirrers in the rooms. Would prefer a mug & teaspoon but not a deal breaker.

Booked it last minute as I had no transport out of Manchester. Very reasonable price and easy to sort. Perfectly comfortable and clean and staff were helpful and polite. Location next to Piccadilly station is very nice for traveling.

Wouldn't rexoment it for longer stays as the room is quite small and the location would be more frustrating for me if I wasn't traveling first thing the next morning.

Comfortable, Peaceful and Relaxing experience overall

TV in room didn’t work properly. Wooden housing around bed on right side too close to pillows/likely head position when getting out of bed and I banged my head on one occasion; subsequently kept away from that side of the bed!

Well presented in all area’s for customers!

Great stay, will certainly book again.

Cleanliness, bathroom and especially the breakfast was great. Superb location to the city center, as well as the train station. Staff was very friendly throughout our stay.

Suggest not to offer "soft boiled" eggs if you cannot serve them; they turn hard boiled within minutes when you offer them together with the hard boiled eggs. Perhaps add some smoked salmon with condiments. But these are little issues, the breakfast was fantastic, even when compared with some more expensive hotels in town.
