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.”

Superb location, amazing value for money.

The location was superb, we stayed over as we went to see Han Zimmer at Co-op live. The bar was lovely. We arrived back around midnight and the bar was open. We stayed down until 1am. I had one of the BEST Espresso Martini's I have EVER had! 👌

The lack of sleep I endured for the 1 night we stayed. But I believe that is a consequence of too many Espresso Martini's! One small irritation, no flannel in the bathroom.

We were only there for an overnight stopover but would definitely stay again

We arrived early and it was no problem. Fernando checked us in and found us a room. Very helpful and quick. The location was brilliant for the station. All the staff we encountered were great

Maybe some water in the room but can’t complain for the price

Everything was great. Good location, nice facility, cleanliness, friendly staff.

Only downside is I left a cap behind in the room and was then told it was not found. Bit disappointing as I know for sure I left it there.

The room was very clean and comfortable. The hotel and room look stylish, professional and being across the road from Manchester Piccadilly meams its in great central location. Staff were friendly and approachable.

Excellent location

The location is excellent, right next to the station and only a 10-20 minute walk from the museum. The staff are very friendly. The only problem is that it's on a street, so the soundproofing isn't great, but it's perfect for a short-term stay.

Modern comfort and a comfy sleep

The bed was very comfy, and the pillows were nice and fluffy. We loved the bar downstairs and all of the modern features. The hotel was in a nice area within walking distance to everything you need in Manchester.

We liked everything. The only downside was our room didn't have a view and just looked into a courtyard but you get what you pay for.

Excellent value for money- comfortable and quiet given the central location

Clean, modern and comfortable. Central location a few minutes walk to the train station. Room had everything you need for a one night work trip away. The continental breakfast was good quality and plentiful but if you’re looking for a full English this hotel is not for you. The bar area was a nice place for a drink with comfy seating and low lighting. Check out was exceptionally fast in the morning.

Rooms are not huge but perfectly adequate for a short stay.

Very conveniently located near the train station. Excellent staff.

Very conveniently located near the train station. We came to Manchester to see a concert at the O2 Apollo Theatre. We were able to walk there without any problems. We also discovered Canal Street which was also within walking distance. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was excellent.

No complaints. It's an excellent place to stay near the train station.

Great location and fabulous breakfast.

Motel 1 was perfect for Piccadilly station, just a couple of minutes' walk. It was also a great location for getting about the city - walking, buses, trams. The breakfast was wonderful - lovely, healthy options and plentiful. Staff were exceptionally friendly. Room was very comfortable and warm (as it was freezing out).

Room was very compact so took a bit of getting used to - very little room to unpack. There was no bedside table on one side and had to improvise using a suitcase. Only one waste bin in the bathroom. Another one in the bedroom would have been useful. The TV kept pixilating which was irritating. These are only minor complaints, it was a great stay.
