Motel One Piccadilly, Manchester
Expert reviews
“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.”

Location, location, location!
Location, comfortable bed. Quiet on floor 13, despite being city centre, adjacent to railway terminus.
Carpet could have done with having the hoover run over it a bit more thoroughly.

No complaints overall for an overnight stay
Spacious, comfortable bed; relaxed lobby with bar; excellent bag drop facility; good to have two shapes of pillow
odd proximity of toilet seat to basin; had to twist body to sit on the seat at an angle. Bathroom drain smelled bad; can see why when you look through the metal drain grill!

The location of the hotel was ideal. Clean and presentable with all the mod cons. The shower facilities were excellent, and fluffy towels are a nice to have.
Lack of bins in the room, only one in the bathroom. The carpets need an update. One light was not working. The heating took its time to warm up the room.

great location. Good bar which is open till late.

Very good
Small but really clean modern bathroom. Great smelling body wash & handsoap. Really comfy firm beds. The staff were friendly & the lobby is clean, trendy & modern.
The carpet in the bedroom waa an unattractive brown that looked a little worn & dirty.

Perfectly fine for a one night stop over after a long journey from Australia before travelling home.
For the price, there was an excellent choice on offer and we were very satisfied. Those who prefer a full English cooked breakfast may be a little disappointed though.
There was a gap under the door to our room, so the light from the corridor shone through, but that's a minor irritation.

Fantastic value, classy and affordable.
This was no frills, but the room had everything you would need. Exceptionally comfortable bed and great location. Staff were superb.
Bedside tables would have been useful in room. Also one of the ceiling lights had a fault but no big deal.

Great location if you travel by train
Modern hotel with small but adequate rooms. Just 2 minutes walk from Piccadilly Station. Nice bar area to sit and relax. Breakfast area also looked pleasant. Easy to find. Good value for a city centre hotel.
Everything was good.

Absolutely amazing and comfortable stay
I loved how the staff were very friendly when I arrived, they helped me check in nice and easy. The room was small but I didn't expect anything huge, was very clean and fancy, loved the decor and the whole feel. Felt very safe within the hotel itself
