Felt inviting when we entered, efficient check in, room was an adequate size, bed was comfortable, decent shower.
Nice clean hotel
Excellent, lifts failed once but was swiftly repaired
Room was nice and clean, bathroom was spacious and the bed was comfortable. Staff were friendly. 3rd time I've visited and much better than most I have stopped in.
Very comfortable and staff were very accommodating.
Great stay good room great staff!
Convenient and well located for Picadilly and Manchester in general. Rooms have everything you could need
Motel One is my ‘go to’ hotel in many city centres, but particularly in Newcastle and Manchester. Excellent locations, well appointed modern feel, and friendly staff. I’ll continue to stay in them!
Great service staff very helpful & attentive all seemed efficient and always happy
room small basic, cup nasty plastic, overall average but expenisve
In the main a great stay, but one thing does detract from a perfect score. As a fairly regular visitor, I notice the shower gel is rarely full on my arrival, and that it typically runs out before the end of my stay. Only minor, but worthwhile mentioning because I notice it. I have reported it on previous stays, and nothing has changed.
Checkin was efficient and quick. I was surprised that I hadn’t to complete an evacuation questionnaire as I am in a wheelchair. However I was surprised to have only one bottle of water for two people over three nights. Also, the disabled room I had was too small, I might have needed to go round the bed in my wheelchair.
I normally stay in the motel one Saint Peters Square my business normally books me into that hotel on s regular basis but on Wednesday 22nd my Business booked me into Motel One Saint Peters Square but when I turned up, your bookings team had made a mistake and booked me into Manchester Piccadilly Normally, I cannot fault your hotel chain and I really enjoy staying in the Saint Peter Square location but that evening all my colleagues were in Saint Peter Square and I had to go across other side of the city to the other location which was not ideal
Amazing value for money at £100 for the night. Ideal location, clean room with a comfy bed and great shower, and such friendly, helpful staff. Loved the bar area and 24hr reception too. Will definitely stay again.
Very friendly helpful and efficient staff warm and welcoming . Accommodated an early check in . Comfortable clean bedroom good facilities quiet good nights sleep . Tasty breakfast wide choice Thank you
Well-located, good value, comfortable, and welcoming.
Normally stay here but this time had items removed from my room I can only presume by housekeeping
Great hotel. Friendly staff with a lovely welcome. Room was just what we needed for an overnight stay. Very quiet for the middle of Manchester. Would definitely use this hotel again
Such a lovely hotel and so central. Room was very clean and had everything we needed. Would definitely stay there again.
Fantastic service and facillities - I will be looking for other Motel One hotels in other cities now. Room was really clean and well organised. Toiletries were nice, towels were crispy and big enough. Check in and out was seamless. Bar area was stylish, spacious and inviting.
Ginevia & Micheal were so helpful and friendly when I arrived, i was made to feel very welcome
Lovely room clean and comfortable Staff very friendly and polite Perfect location in centre
Excellent front of house staff. Very clean room so obviously excellent cleaning staff too.
The hotel location is perfect for my visit. Staff are friendly and helpful and rooms always well presented.
Always consistent. Staff friendly and rooms are clean and have everything needed. Location is great and breakfast is good.
First time staying here and everything was great. Very friendly welcome from reception and breakfast was fab. Lovely clean room with everything you needed.
Everything great apart from the breakfast. Selection was good but the hot buffet items were cold.
Excellent staff, so helpful and catered to all our special requests - and gave recommendations for restaurants too. Comfy bed, clean room, quiet, handy location close to the train station.
The motel is still holding £100 that they demanded of me when I came to check in
Nice rooms, friendly staff. Only breakfast area is a bit cramped when it's rush hour.
Booking, on-site check in, rooms generally and breakfast are good. The app based check in requiring identity documents is irritating. The bar was not adequately staffed resulting in us and many others going elsewhere? Staff are professional, helpful and very welcoming. Super location and the room very clean although this time I found the bed to be too firm which I have not experienced there before.
Excellent stay. Building and staff very welcoming. Very stylish. Clean throughout. Comfortable room with great facilities and simple to use.
Perfect location in front of Picadilly station.
Last minute booking, and what a great find! The location is spot on for pretty much everything you might want to do in Manchester: theatre, Old Trafford matches, shopping, the Village, and the sights. Upon arrival I was greeted by a well presented and professional member of staff, and the check-in process was very straightforward. His name was Michael, and his friendly personality was contagious. His female colleague who was also at reception on the early evening of 20th October, and on duty the next morning, was equally friendly and efficient, and they were both patient with me when I needed to book the parking, park the car, and retrieve it the next day. Up to my room, I found it of adequate size, with a wam and relaxing decor. Big window that opens (yes!), perfect temperature (that you have total control over), and even a socket right where you need it when you borrow an iron and board (handed out to me by Michael at reception in seconds). Bathroom space is equally well sorted out, the shower worked very well, and the amenities put the more expensive competitors to shame. The only thing my eagle eye picked up on were a couple of stains on the linen and on the bathroom floor matt. I work in hospitality so I know whites can't always stay white even after a thorough clean. I didn't drink nor eat on site, so can't comment on those. I wanted to make full use of the midday check-out, as I went to bed really late (good to see a guard by the door at late hours). I am a light sleeper, and even with earplugs I am not always able to have a lie-in in hotels, but here there was no issue. I had a superb night sleep! The mattress feels medium in firmness, so will suit most people, and the pillows equally so. Tea and coffee making facilities were an added bonus, and overall I cannot fault the value for money. Great ambiance in the communal areas (decor, temperature, sounds), with friendly guests to chat to. As Arnie would say, I'll be back!
It was a nice, convenient stay, and all staff were so so kind and helpful. Breakfast could’ve been better.
Really impressed. This is the second or third time I’ve stayed here. Definitely, I’ll be coming back. Neat tidy, room is fine, and the price is very good. Staff also are really attentive. Thank you so much
Excellent accommodation, with an excellent breakfast. perfectly located for the Royal Exchange Theatre and the Arndale shopping centre
Good welcome from your cheery reception staff who were willing to let us check in early. Room on 7th floor was comfortable with good king size bed and adequate hanging space. Decent shower in good sized well organise en suite.very quiet room. Buffet breakfast in comfortable lounge with cereals, fresh fruit, seeds, nuts, choice of breads. Hot and cold drinks. Staff worked efficiently and quietly to keep stocks available etc.
Another good stay at a Motel One that I cannot fault.
Nice environment and atmosphere. Staffs were so friendly and helpful
The only issue I had was I couldn’t get the tv to work. As I was only there one night it didn’t bother me
Everything just off, ironing board was too short, kettle lead barely reached the plug room was uncomfortably warm.
Everything was perfect. Lovely room, super central & brilliant, friendly and attentive reception staff
It was very clean, wonderful breakfast, very efficient staff, I couldn’t find fault with it
I would say that the property was good in terms of providing a basic place to sleep and the communal areas were very modern and the hotel was clean. However, the room was very dated, the shower weak and it generally not leaving a very positive impression except for a very quick 1 night stay.
Jason (bar) provided excellent customer service skills and professional, while being kind, considerate and friendly. I would recommend this hotel.
Excellent stay, really helpful reception team, they allowed us to book bags in ahead of check in (we were early into Manchester) and then accommodated an early check in as well ie as soon as the room was available. this allowed us to get rid of baggage and enjoy an afternoon and evening in Manchester. Facilities are also excellent including the bar area, rooms large and well equipped and everything was clean and tidy. the hotel is also conveniently located for city centre Manchester. First class hotel :-)
I would prefer an area suitable for eating breakfast rather than sitting in a low chair more suitable for a lounge/bar area. The area where the breakfast amenities were served was 'open' for people to learn over very unhygienic! People were also queueing at different areas e.g. tea, coffee which caused a 'bottle neck' in the area where the food was been served.
Clean modern rooms, nice linens, friendly staff, great location. Will definitely stay here again!
Nice hotel good location very modern Nightmare to find the car park so had to park elsewhere The room quite small but nice. Could do with proper cups/mugs in the room rather than throwaway cups. Tv and USB great, shower good WiFi in the room worked well and quick
Switch on. beOne.

Manchester
Capital of culture and football
In the north west of the UK, Manchester has transformed itself over the years from a grey industrial stronghold into a metropolis for football, music and culture. Motel One has three affordable Design Hotels on site.

Budget Design Hotels in Manchester – your Motel One
The city once plagued by the darker side of industrialisation is now a vibrant place to live and a popular destination for short stays, city breaks and weekend trips. Tour this former stronghold of the Industrial Revolution and you can’t help noticing the canals crossing the city. Used for transporting goods while industry was still booming, now the old warehouses along their banks are a distinctive element of the city’s image. Spacious loft apartments, chic bars and modern flats are now housed in these towering brick edifices, symbolising Manchester’s rebirth in modern times.
The Lowry cultural centre is also on the waterside at the Salford Quays docklands development. This complex, comprising two theatres, several galleries, cafés and restaurants, is built on what was formerly a reloading point for the cotton industry. Cross over the Manchester Ship Canal to reach the Imperial War Museum North, conceived to resemble a shattered globe shape, symbolising the effects of war.
Old Trafford, the Manchester Art Gallery and the Northern Quarter
Football’s coming home! Football fans are of course entirely spoilt in Manchester, and the Old Trafford stadium, home of Manchester United, is also a prime example of effective stadium architecture. Take a two-hour guided tour around these hallowed grounds to take your seat on the reserve bench, view the club’s trophies in its museum, and soak up the unparalleled atmosphere of the player tunnel itself. The National Football Museum to the north of the centre is another must-see for fans of the beautiful game, with free entry and exhibits including a replica of the sought-after Jules Rimet trophy, used for years as the World Cup trophy, and a jersey of Maradona’s from 1986.
If you prefer art to football, you’ll find what you’re looking for at Manchester Art Gallery on Mosley Street not far from our Design Hotel. It houses a significant collection of European art, focussing on works by UK artists.
The centre’s Northern Quarter right by the Motel One Manchester-Piccadilly is well worth a visit, home to trendy designer boutiques, pubs, clubs and jazz venues. It’s emblematic of the modern city, and attracts bands and fans from around the world. A warm Northern welcome awaits in Manchester.
