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.”

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.

Great location, right in front of Piccadilly station! Would stay here again!!

Stayed to attend a concert at Co Op Live, which was 3 tram stops away which was really useful! The hotel is right in front of Piccadilly station, which was perfect for me as it meant I could check out and get on my train all in the space of 10 mins ! The check in was quick and all the staff I encountered were absolutely brilliant, all so friendly and welcoming. The room was a good size and everything was clean and bed was very comfortable!! Everything felt really secure and safe which is a big factor for me as a solo traveller!

Everything was fine!

Its a good value room

Yes, the room offers adequate space and is clean. The toilet and towels are also satisfactory, and I appreciate their option to skip cleaning if it's not needed.

I hope the curtain can better block all outside light, as I prefer sleeping in complete darkness, but I understand it's a matter of personal preference. The other thing is the door of my room is a bit loose, probably, I need to press it 2-3 times till it's completely shut. Overall, it's still good.

Good Location with parking facility next door

Location of hotel was good for our needs, very clean and comfortable bed, great to have a bar on hand for a nightcap and late coffee and free wifi is really good

No cups just paper cups - would prefer china cups as already supply proper spoons, also late of shelf other side of bed would be beneficial for the person who sleeps that side to put their phone/water etc.

The location is brilliant, just a walking distance from Piccadilly Station. The staff are extremely friendly and warm. The room was spacious and well-equipped with a great city view. I loved it! The vibes are so positive and bright in this place.

There is nothing that I didn’t like.

I will always stay at the Motel One as it's a very nice hotel. Great location and the bed is very co

The Bed was so so Comfortable. Probably the best Comfortable bed I've slept in at a Hotel.

Coffee was Naf. No proper wardrobe. Just 3 hangers over a Mirror. When getting ready your clothes are in the way. Didn't like that. But to be fair it was the most comfortable bed I've slept in.

Very good

The location was excellent, very close to the station and within walking distance of the city centre. The hotel was perfectly placed, as it wasn’t too noisy despite being so central.

A small fridge to store drinks would've been great, especially during summer or hot days, and this would allow guests to enjoy their rooms more.

Great overnight stay while traveling.

Rooms are very clean and modern. Breakfast was plentiful and adequate but not lavish. Location across the street from Manchester train station is perfect for travelers just looking for an overnight accommodation. Having multiple electrical outlet types in the room is great for travelers as well.

If you know you are planning to have breakfast, it is better to include in your room rate than pay the per person charge in the morning.

Good location and clean rooms

Great location and very clean hotel/rooms. The hotel reception/bar area is great, very modern and really helpful staff to welcome you. One member of the bar staff, Felix, made our bar experience very enjoyable. He was very helpful! Great drinks and good prices too 😄 Would definitely stay again.

There isn’t much storage space or a wardrobe in the rooms which is fine for a few nights, however worth baring in mind if staying for a longer period of time.

Breakfast was spread out in reception area which resulted in some weaving in and out of guests with suitcases checking in or out while carrying hot drinks and plates of food. Not pleasant eating in a thoroughfare.

Would stay again as location was perfect for us. And it was very clean. Highly recommend

It was only a few minutes walk from Piccadilly train station and tram network, ideal location for getting to Etihad campus, we were there for concert at coop live so was perfect location. Free WiFi. Breakfast continental but lovely, daughter would have preferred full English type breakfast but she managed to get some things she liked. Staff lovely and very helpful.

The room was a little small but clean and bed super comfortable.
