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.”

Good value for money for a one night city centre stay

Convenient location close to Manchester Piccadilly station and comfortable, if compact, room with a nice shower. Very little external noise overnight which is always a bonus for a city centre hotel. Friendly staff. Overall good value for money for a one night stay.

The breakfast was average. Nothing wrong with the food but limited offer.

Great place for a city break!

Great location, lovely room, amazingly comfortable super king bed and amazing value for money in a city location. Staff were friendly and helpful, nothing too much trouble.

No dislikes to affect our judgment but would have appreciated a china cup rather than disposable ones.

Great comfy, clean and nice hotel with decent breakfast,

Great location for public transport trams / trains. and lovely spacious lobby, plenty of space for breakfast, and a good bar. Room was small but very comfortable.

parking is super pricey, would be great if they could swing a deal with the car park next door,

Great location, comfortable bed and friendly staff.

Lovely big comfortable bed and nice shower. Hairdryer included. Friendly and attentive, helpful staff.

Bin could have done with a plastic liner (i understand this is probably for environmental reasons to save resources). A little on the pricey side but the location is excellent so it pays a premium.

Great place

Great facilities, really nice touches, breakfast was great. Location is exceptional. Stayed here previously and will be back again.

Only one thing, the disposable cups in the room are not great, and we’re not replaced during our two night stay. As I said this was only a minor issue.

Would definitely book again if I need an early start from Piccadilly station.

Very clean & tidy. I was able to check in a little early without any issue so I could leave my bag in the room before I went out. The staff that I spoke to were very helpful and polite.

Brilliant stay

They let us check in early as our room was ready - check in at 3 we arrived at 12. Love that they have a late check out. Price was fair. Rooms clean lovely. There's a car park next to motel one not bad price either. Location was perfect. Definitely my go to hotel when ever I make a trip to Manchester.

Nothing not to like.

Great hotel but bad management

Hotel was on excellent location, comfortable bed and pillow, very clean, good offer for breakfast

We were traped in elevator for more than hour, 7 people in small space, luckily noone claustophobic or with panic attacks. We had to scream and bang on elevator for long time for someone to hear us. After an hour someone let us out and employee just asked do we want a glass of water or beer. My friend asked for manager but that employee looked at him confused and just left. So their behavior to me as a customer was lower than low

A very cosy stay and worth it. Will consider to stay again if we are around the area next time

Very very near to the picaddily train station. And tram station. The room is cosy and we got the view of the train station which is awesome.

Not that near to the city centre but it is still within walking distance.

Convenient stay with very friendly staff.

I only stayed for one night, but I would definitely recommend this hotel to friends. It is very conveniently located near the train station. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Good breakfast.

A small downside was that there was no bedside shelf or table where you could place a book or phone.

Great value for money. Location is perfect. Perfect for those over for the weekend attending a match. Have been here twice before and would return.

Great location near to Piccadilly Station and walking distance to the center. Very clean room and acceptable room size. However the air conditioning was not working well, very stuffy with warm air. Could open the window but room was assigned on the first floor which I have forgotten to request for higher floor as I always do. Cantonese speaking male staff was very nice to assist us with the air conditioning issue.

Simple minimalistic does the job. Great location.

Very minimalistic. Great shower and shampoo/ body wash was lovely. Comfortable bed but the pillows let it down. Great location.

Very small and paper cups in the room for tea/coffee. Pillows were like rocks and breakfast was disappointing
