Lovely clean room, comfy bed, friendly staff, perfect location.
Everything fine no problems
Lovely young woman on check in. Room fine - as expected and had all I needed. Like proximity to station. Bar staff very polite and friendly and charges average. Only missing a point for three men on reception who spoke to me like I was a bit of an idiot when I had to come back down to tell them card key hadn’t worked. One in particular but don’t know name. Loses points for not allowing me to check in online as it requires a passport or identity card which I don’t need.
Excellent stay , very friendly reception staff and value for money
Quiet, comfortable, great value for money
Super friendly service, great location, clean room and great breakfast.
Friendly, helpful staff. Very comfy, spacious room. Mattress was soft and there was a choice of pillow - firm and soft. Clean throughout. Great location. Would definitely recommend.
Great value for money. Friendly staff and perfect location. Room very quiet, especially for how central the hotel is. Good air con and comfy bed. Will definitely stay again.
Always a pleasant welcome at the hotel from the lovely staff. Room is always clean and tidy, beds are comfy and great location
Excellent as always and fantastic value .
Great hotel, nice layout, feels really spacious in the lobby & bar. Friendly staff & nice easy check in. Room was nice & clean, bed very comfy.
Warm welcome and room clean and modern
Smart clean hotel with excellent staff
Overall good value for money. The hotel is very conveniently located for Manchester Piccadilly Station and also a remarkably quiet in terms of disturbance from outside noise for a city centre hotel. The room was basic and fairly compact but had everything needed for a short stay. The bed was very comfortable and the shower was also a nice walk-in with a decent amount of space and water pressure. The breakfast was OK but no better than that. Overall very good value for money and a good option for a one night stay.
A great place to stay in the middle of Manchester. Rooms are compact but very clean and comfortable. Staff were extremely helpful and welcoming.
Hotel is well-maintained and conveniently sited, with friendly and helpful staff.
Central location, clean, quiet and comfortable rooms, excellent value for money, helpful and efficient staff on reception.
Staff very happy & welcoming. Room was spotless and quiet. Breakfast was excellent 👍
Excellent: clean, nice looking bedroom, modern bathroom, good and easy breakfaster
Everything was perfect. The location could not be better and the staff were only friendly and helpful
Fantastic from start to finish. Rooms are such value for money! Have everything you need for a city stay and the location is the best! Reception staff brilliant. Received an upgrade to a corner room as we were having a night away from our 3 kids. Bed very comfy, and room very cool, much needed on a hot bank holiday weekend!
Great location, clean and comfortable room, lovely decor in hotel reception and bar area.
Enjoyed our stay again, will keep using this hotel. Maybe some biscuits with brewing facilities would be a nice touch.
Breakfast was fine. Downstairs was fine. The room was adequate. The young man on reception desk needs to learn how to look customers in the eye and actually speak to them rather than huffing and puffing the whole time.
Great hotel, clean room and lovely staff, thank you so much
Wonderful as always from check in to check out. It was a hot day so it was really great to be given Motel 1 bucket hats as well. The receptionist remembered us and gave us an accessible room as we were with Jake our dog. We were given a third floor room, it was comfy and very very quiet. It was only one night this time but looking forward to booking for our next stay.
Jack at the the front desk is pure class.
Great value for money, friendly staff and comfortable rooms. Marked two points off because our room wasn't serviced after the first night's stay (stayed for two nights)
Only thing missing is a fridge
I had requested a higher floor but I know it obviously can’t be guaranteed. And I of course did not get one instead I was put above the pub on a bank holiday weekend and had blaring music until at least 2am, to which it just quietened a decibel or two until the revellers left. Why not close your windows you may ask? Well it was a heat wave and the aircon isn’t the most effective. Also it dries the air like no tomorrow. Not a fan of the paper cups in rooms, the seal on the seams eventually erodes and they begin leaking subtly to which I only noticed when my room was covered in sticky circles. I do like the hotel and its location but perhaps I’ll have to pay for the room with a view to guarantee a high floor next time.
Hotel is very central, beautifully furnished in a modern style and very well maintained. The staff is out of this world, so friendly and nothing they will not do to help.
We always choose Motel One in Manchester, it’s an excellent location for us close to Piccadilly Station and everything is immaculate
Great location. Room was clean and fresh with comfortable big bed and walk in shower. Spotlessly clean. The staff were really friendly.
Comfortable stay at city centre hotel with convenient location. Nice welcome at reception. The basic room was fine but it would be better with bedside tables, somewhere to put a drink overnight. Otherwise, the bed was very comfortable, it was clean, good towels, great value compared to other similar level hotels.
Good location, nice and clean room and hotel in general. The staff was really nice, particularly Darren at reception who gave us a warm welcome and also the staff at the bar where we stopped one night for a drink. I would recommend it.
We have stayed in many of Manchester's hotels and we find this the best in town. Friendly staff. Spotless rooms and excellent location.we have stayed numerous times and it’s always a high standard. Looking forward to our next visit.
The staff were exceptional. Very helpful at times. The room was small, but well provided for, with a fantastic bed. The bathroom was also excellent.
This is the third time I have stayed. Great service convenient for trains and downtown. Do not like the paper coffee cups.
Very nice modern hotel, staff are excellent. Happily stay there again. Very convenient for train station and centre of town.
All just OK,small room,no cooked breakfast ,overpriced £201 for 1 night thought would be better for that price
Outstanding
Great location, friendly staff, comfy bed an very clean.
Excellent service, design and location. Only negative is that the shower us not powerful, but it’s not a dealbreaker
Lovely hotel next to the station. The room was great & the vibe was right
The Hotel is clean and my bed 🛌 made every day during my stay. Vey friendly professional staff
Hotel location was excellent. Hotel room was nice. Reception staff were friendly. The inadequate score was the need for me as a guest to go to reception and pick up an iron and ironing board. Most good hotels would have them in the room already. Those who don’t would bring it to the room upon request. This hotel (assume brand) does neither. This little things make a difference.
Friendly staff and excellent accommodations. Hotel is walking distance from Manchester Piccadilly Station. Breakfast was good too! Close to many restaurants, mall and markets.
Good value for money. Clean rooms. And a shout-out to the very friendly staff responsible for breakfast (Mario and his colleagues)!
Maria and team were EXCELLENT. Such a memorable experience. Room was nice, everything in good working order.
Room was clean and warm. Almost as warm as the receptionist. Everything worked flawlessly. They gave me an accessable room for the extra space to store my bike.
Switch on. beOne.

Capital of culture and football

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.
