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.

Great staff and location (for trains & airport)

Staff are welcoming and professional. Even gave me room upgrade! Room was larger than I expected & spotlessly clean. Good shower with organic soap and shampoo. Good buffet breakfast. Location opposite Manchester Piccadilly Station is perfect - only a 3 minute walk. I have stayed here 4 times, whenever I have a morning flight from Manchester Airport. There's a direct train to Manchester Airport that takes less than 30 minutes. So convenient.

TV image quality was poor & pixillated. Probably due to a poor signal as my room was at the very end of a long corridor. The mattress was too firm for me.

Enjoyable overnight stay in a friendly, comfortable and clean hotel. Would highly recommend.

Perfect location to amenities, parking close by, we used CitiPark on Dale street. Tram across the road from hotel direct to coop live. Friendly staff. Good value for money. Comfortable bed. Would definitely recommend and use hotel again.

No negative comment to give. Very happy with our stay.

I loved how warm and inviting the lobby and reception was. Reception staff were very helpful with our bags as we were early for check in. I stayed here with my son for a concert and it felt very safe and literally across the road from the train station and tram station.

There was nothing I didn't like.

I always stay at Motel One Piccadilly when I want to be close to the station for an early train. The room is clean and comfortable and the staff friendly and helpful.

I dont have anything that I do not like about this hotel. It is my first choice when I want to stay close to the station.

Would definitely stay again.

Nice decor. Bar area ok. Close to train station. Easy for coop live concerts. Shirt walk to shops.

Only complimentary breakfast that was rather sparse looking. We all requested twin rooms but all ended up with doubles. Wasn’t a real problem for us but might be for others.

The hotel smelt amazing. The facilities were clean. The bed was comfortable. We were allowed to drop our bags off before check in, in order to go to our concert. The bed was super comfortable.

The tv didn’t have many channels but it didn’t effect our stay.

Spotlessly clean and so close to everything we needed

Offices opposite could see into windows if curtains open so maybe some voile would be useful under curtains

Very good, great location.

The room I was initially given faced an office block which made it quite dark, I asked the receptionist if they had a room with a city view. I was given the key to a city view room which was much brighter as the hotel was not that busy. I do not know when you book if you can request a city view room or if if it based on the price you pay.

The Motel One hotels always offer a certain standard for a reasonable price. This one is directly opposite the train station and it#s also right in the city centre. Rooms are clean and functional. Bed was comfortable.

The rooms are rather small. Breakfast is OK but they never offer any warm food.

Great value for money!

The staff were so accommodating and made us feel comfortable at all times as LGBT+ travellers. The room was a good size and clean with very comfortable beds and little noise despite the central location. If you are travelling to Manchester for a short trip I would highly recommend as it is less than a 5 minute walk to Manchester Piccadilly Station.

Nothing.
