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.”

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.

Nice hotel but had to queue for quite a while on reception to check in

Very well located hotel, friendly staff, clean and modern room

Had to queue for a while on reception to check in. It’s a big hotel and there didn’t seem to be enough staff on to meet demand.

Motel One-Great Night

Great location, reception staff welcoming & professional. Spacious modern reception and good bar. The room was clean, modern, comfortable bed, good shower, tea and coffee facilties. Would definitely stay here again Thanks x

There was nothing to dislike. Would have been fantastic if there were Clipper instant hot chocolate sachets, but that's because I love hot chocolates :)

It's always a pleasure to stay at Motel One.

It always amazes me that Motel One is classed as a 'budget' hotel as it feels anything but. Motel One is, by far, my fav hotel chain and whenever I come to Manchester I always check if it's available. And if it is, I book it! The rooms are fantastic. Spacious, clean and the most comfy beds. The bathroom is always spotless. It is also perfectly located, literally across the road from Piccadilly train station.

Nothing.

Safe cosy stay for 2 Nights. Wish it was longer

I felt safe and the Hotel is lovely. Modern. With class though. Nearby the train station ( that’s where I wanted) .. the rooms and reception area were made to feel cosy by these cleaver TV log fire burning line a real fire. Lived my room 70-1 especially bc of corner building windows and lots of lights to come in 🥰. The breakfast Not an English style .. which is great. No. Greasy food! So in between continental and Brits. @Reception : Everybody’s smiling, Friendly, Polite. Thank you x Solo Traveler x

Nothing. Nada. Niente!

Excellent stay, comfy bed, convenient location.

Excellent room with comfortable bed, highly convenient location very close to Piccadilly station. No noise, I slept like a log. Delicious all-I-could-eat breakfast.

I wish I could have been given a glass or cup to clean my teeth. All I had for hot drinks and teeth cleaning were two flimsy, fragile paper cups.

Great location

Location great, staff were lovely and helpful. Hotel was very clean

Floating toilets, they just always seem unstable to me, one of the lifts appeared to not be working so sometimes we were waiting a long time for the lift and when it arrived it was full of people.

A very pleasant 2-day stay at a comfortable, affordable hotel.

Excellent location, a stone's-throw from Piccadilly Station. Quick & easy check-in, beautiful lobby, spotlessly clean room with the most comfortable bed and pillows. No noisy guests, perfectly quiet and really good blackout curtains.

No telephone to contact reception and some sort of bedside table would have been perfect.

Very good

The location was fantastic! Very close to Piccadilly station and easy to get out to The Co-op Live for a concert. Staff were friendly and accommodating.

Our room 529 was right next to the service door and we constantly heard the door bang with the staff coming and going. The carpet had some weird green bleached patches and weird stains but for the most part it was clean. No fridges or ice machines which would be nice. Very little space to put clothes so be prepared to live out of your luggage.
