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. 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. Guests can choose from two different floor plans: a standard double room with a king bed or a standard queen room with a queen bed. Both of these room choices accommodate up to two guests.

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.

Very comfortable hotel to stay and relax in, from the hectic life in the city

Beautiful hotel, nice atmosphere and very clean. The staff were very happy to help and my daughter and I were able to book in straight away first thing the morning, which we didn’t expect to. We were going to just leave our luggage in store, but we got the room there and then. Room was lovely and shower was great. Excellent!

Didn’t stop for breakfast as it was only continental and price was quite dear for just continental. It did still look nice thought when we saw it in the foyer.

Nice hotel at the train station.

Good place, close to train station and city, Comfortable room.

Little storage space - only a few hangers, no closets. It is good for a few days, but not for a longer stay.

Good value, well located hotel

Very well situated hotel next to Piccadilly Station. Good value for money. I didn't have the breakfast but it looked very good.

Rooms are perhaps smaller than average ( although big enough if you literally just want a bed for the night ). My only minor issue was that there were no glasses in the room ( even plastic ones ) so if you want a glass of water by your bed you need to get one from the bar

Good hotel, easy to find and I always choose to stay here

Always love staying here, really easy to find near Manchester Piccadilly station. Angel was great on reception as is everyone. Really helpful staff. Great place to stay.

If you don’t mind a continental breakfast, this is good value but if you want to cooked breakfast might be best to go on the hunt to the nearby restaurants in the centre of Manchester

Really good

Great central location right next to Manchester Picadilly station. Welcoming reception and waiting space. Rooms are comfortable and have all the basic requirements. Tiana at the Reception is a pleasant host and goes over and above to make guests feel welcome.

USB C sockets for phone charging would have added value but not a major point. Maybe a spare phone charger kept at Reception for guests who forget their's to borrow could help.

Very good

I recently stayed at Motel One in Manchester and overall had a really enjoyable experience. The hotel has a modern, stylish feel, and everything was clean and well-maintained throughout my stay. The rooms were comfortable, nicely designed, and provided a relaxing environment after a long day.

The only downside was the internet connection, which was quite weak and unreliable at times. This made it a bit difficult to stay connected when needed.

Super convenient and cool city offering

Open lobby space/bar, welcoming helpful staff, comfortable seating areas, lovely fresh bedding and towels, well planned bedroom space, quiet stay for an urban hotel - overall excellent value for money, Would definitely book again and interested to learn of portfolio of locations for other city breaks.

Nothing stood out as negative tbh. Bottled water in the room would be a welcome addition.- or a water dispenser in reception/bar area?
