Staff were amazing- especially at reception ( sorry I can’t remember their names) But they were so helpful.
I really enjoyed my stay. The room was nice and clean and quite. The breakfast buffet was just right.
Wish I had gone to a Premier Inn. Room was cold when I arrived, and no blackout curtains or blinds.
Does evertyhing ok, but nothing felt special.
Fine. Took some time to check in. Did not opt for breakfast as seemed expensive for what it was. Shower lukewarm even on highest setting. But bed comfy enough and room clean.
It is a warm and welcoming hotel with very friendly and helpful staff. The guy working in the bar was particularly friendly and hospitable.
Very good overall, but no instructions given on check-in about breakfast arrangements.
Great service
Excellent staff at front desk and extremely good and healthy breakfast. Very clean rooms too
Great value and lovey hotel !
Wow, what a stay .. from the moment we arrived to check in (far too early I might add) the check in desk led by Fernando, we're super welcoming and helpful, letting us leave our bags at the hotel to allow us to enjoy the city centre, and giving us brilliant advice on pubs and restaurants near the hotel. The Molly House was exceptional btw. Burgan thank you for the excellent coffees and restaurant advice. Felix mans the bar and makes just THE BEST Negroni cocktails. He was so attentive, our glasses were barely empty before he was checking if you needed a refill and ensuring we were so well looked after. Breakfast was simple but delicious and the smiling, courteous and welcoming personality of Ausra and ensured a great start to each day and. From the moment we walked into the hotel to the moment we left, from reception staff, the bar staff, breakfast team and even the cleaners , everyone was smiling, polite and helpful. You're a credit to the Motel One Group and make the Hotel. We're looking forward to staying again soon and for longer ! Thank you 🙏😁
Great hotel, excellent location
Great service, tidy and comfortable room, good shower pressure and size.
We were impressed by the ambience and décor when we walked through the door., but even more impressed by the warm welcome we received from your receptionist who was efficient, friendly and professional. She made sure that we got the room we would need and was helpful when we asked about directions and places to eat etc. Great work!
As always, my experience with my stay at Motel One has been second to none. From check-in to check-out, I've never had any issues and the staff are always more than happy to assist with any queries etc. I usually stay at the Piccadilly hotel when I am in Manchester. The location is central to where I like to venture around with friends. Great walking distance to the Village and neighbouring restaurants. 10/10
I'm completely satisfied, which is why I always choose this Hotel when I visit Manchester. That is despite having to pay the extra charge at the weekend, which is unavoidable, owing to flight schedules back to Greece.
The only thing that can improve this excellent Hotel is having a proper ceramic cup for your morning tea instead of a paper one. It's the only fault I can find otherwise great in every aspect.
Over-priced for standards provided. Very disappointing. From tardy bar staff, to paper cups and insufficient loo roll and tepid shower in room. Standards of a travel lodge with double the price.
I wasn't planning on staying in Manchester that night, but I was returning from abroad and my flight was delayed, and by the time I had landed and got through the airport I had already missed the last train home. Having used this hotel before and being happy with it and the proximity to the railway station, I booked for the night and got an early train home the next morning!.
Someone on the bar at 3.25. Everybody busy on reception desk and people waiting at the bar. Waited 5 minutes and left. Lost a sale
A friendly, clean and well located hotel close to Manchester centre. The bed was comfortable and it was nice and quiet but the room was a bit tight with paper cups for drinks and our shower was only luke warm which we reported in the morning.
Great welcome, friendly service, comfortable room, comfy bed, and nice space downstairs to hang out and eat/drink. Good location.
Room and staff were great. The TV in the room had about 300 channels of which about 60 worked, many of which were repeats of working ones. The EPG was a sea of blank entries, channels that shut down years ago, and channels that did have entries but didn't work. Some channels gave a picture but due to weak signal kept glitching.
Close proximity to train station.Great dining and bars near by. Staff friendly and helpful. Room clean and comfortable. Public areas comfortable and well maintained.
First time staying in Motel One Manchester Piccadilly and it certainly will not be my last. Great central location right next to the main Piccadilly Station. Stunning hotel, with really friendly check-in staff. The room was perfect for a sole traveler; very clean, comfy bed and well decorated. Tea&coffee stand was a cute touch too. Bathroom was spotless and shower was great. Continental breakfast was great and Staff were friendly and attentive. Overall a fantastic stay and would highly recommend it.
Very helpful team and centrally located.
Great Location and very helpful friendly staff. Excellent breakfast.
Really good, and everyone very nice.
Great central hotel. Excellent value for money
Check in was nice and easy after doing it online. Was staying overnight for an event at the Albert Hall which they said was a short walk away and safe which felt great as a solo travelling woman.
Very good and a good price
The best value for money in Manchester! Hotel is super clean, staff is very friendly and helpful!
Nice contemporary hotel, friendly staff. Clean comfortable rooms and spacious public area. Great location.
Fantastic experience! Lovely room, good location, delicious breakfast, and outstanding service. Hugest thanks to Christopher Graves, who very kindly mailed me my passport when I inadvertently left it in the hotel safe—it was in my hands 24 hours later, I couldn’t be happier with service that went above and beyond.
The staff were very helpful and friendly. The room was immaculate. The location is brilliant, especially if attending The Royal Exchange Theatre. The only drawback is that they do not have cooked breakfasts. There are plenty of places to get one though. Will not put me off staying there again.
Great location, clean room. Friendly staff.
Lovely place to stay!
Great value for money. Really friendly reception staff. Accommodated our request to have a quiet room.
Pillows need replacing and could do with blackout curtains
I was welcomed even though it was very late at night. Everyone could not have been more helpful and friendly. The room was comfortable and clean and there was a really wide selection of fare for breakfast.
For a “basic” hotel offering, I was very impressed. Amazing value for money. Skipped breakfast as not a great fan of continental breakfasts and that seemed to be the only thing on offer. Only other slight aggravation was that the bar, whilst open late which is a plus, is located so near to the front door, and people regularly popping out for a cigarette does mean it can be a wee bit cold and drafty.
Excellent hotel, great central location. Brilliant staff.
Great location for exploring the city and convenient from station etc. Staff and service were excellent. Would have been nice to have more of a cooked breakfast selection but all food was good quality.
The staff were amazing, the rooms were beautifully clean and immaculate, would definitely stay again
Clean and comfortable with all the basics covered. Nice decor. Excellent value for money.
Absolutely perfect for our one night stay in Manchester. Would definitely stay again and recommend. Lovely reception staff as well.
Stylish hotel with nice rooms and facilities. I would definitely return.
From the moment we walked in we were greeted by friendly staff to the spotless room comfortable bed also easy booking and a fabulous price. This was our 2nd stay and we will continue to make this our go to hotel when in Manchester. Xx
Excellent hotel - prime location!
Negative, rooms to hot, airco not cooling enough and windows cannot be opened. Positve, very good beds and clean.
Switch on. beOne.

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.
