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.”

What guests liked

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.

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.

Only the sockets not being beside the bed but that’s just laziness on my part!

Very good

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

Convenient

It is 2 mins to piccadily train station. Therefore, it is very convenient to reach airport and other cities ( like . The room is clean and basic.

The hotel is close to attractive places ( canal, gay village, St Peter’s square) but it is not at the heart of the city center. I recommend the hotel of the same “motel one” chain in St Peter’s square.

Clean, friendly and helpful staff, both EU and UK plugs in our room, nice view and great windows. All the plugs and switches were well thought out. Also a very comfy bed and a decent breakfast. Overall a very pleasant experience, especially for a three star.

A bit noisy when the windows are open for some fresh air. Every door (including bathroom) wants to close, it was a bit annoying. So was the TV that turns on every time you enter the room and place the key card.
