Very helpful staff, offered me early check in without extra charges. Thanks for ward hospitality.
Perfect new hotel. Great lobby, clean and comfort room. Perfect location close to Picadilly Railway station.
Lovely stay nice comfortable room
Clean room. Decent facilities. No milk in the room - so unable to make morning hot drink.
Centrally located and comfortable. We always receive a warm welcome and this time was no different. Fatima ensured that we were checked in quickly; she was very polite, friendly and efficient.
Luke very friendly and welcomming at reception
Really great location, the room was really comfortable. Perfect for a 1 night stay.
This is my 3rd stay in this hotel and I love it! The best comfy beds and the location is perfect. I've been using it as a base to Salford Uni and its so central with tram, train and bus links. I won't stay anywhere else!
Comfortable room. Good location. I think the rooms need a small fridge. And I would prefer an option of a cooked breakfast. But overall I would stay again if in that area.
I enjoyed my stay, the hotel room was very quiet, clean and comfortable. I only rated it 9 because there was no conditioner and I forgot to bring mine, so that would have made it perfect. But for the money this is a really good hotel.
Excellent room and lovely people
I have nothing to complain about the hotel or its staff. The hotel is in a really good location, easy to get to. The rooms are clean and the bed is perfect. The breakfast is really good, fresh fruit and vegetables are available. I can recommend this hotel.
Excellent stay! The location is perfect, the rooms are clean and comfortable, nice view, and the staff is welcoming and helpful. Great value for money and an overall seamless experience. We will book again!
Value for money, exceptional staff and location, , front rooms you can here trams low noise throughout night , room small but adequate, very dark we had a black wardrobe and we could not see what was in there because of the lighting in fact we used our phone .
Convenient location (at a conference), clean and comfortable. Good value.
Great stay as usual. It's the perfect location, and the corner rooms are spacious with great views. Amazing value.
Lovely hotel, clean, smart and in a perfect spot for the Manchester running events Only thing we didn’t like was the paper copy in the room for tea/coffee.

A really good central location for this modern hotel. Michael the hotel receptionist was excellent, we had a few requests which he was very efficient in helping us with.
Needed a quick hotel for one night in Manchester, great location and does at it says on the box "Like the Price. Love the Design".
A great hotel in Central Manchester a stone throw from all major landmarks. Very clean, well equipped and fairly priced. Very happy
Just the right size to the right prize and a nice feel to it all. Had a very pleasant stay.
Clean comfortable room. Pleasant lounge and bar. Excellent location.

Convenient location. Staff in all departments including reception, bar and housekeeping are excellent! Friendly, professional and great in their roles. Rooms great. Small but adequate for a short stay. Clean and well kept .I work in business travel and this hotel is a fantastic example of how a hotel runs well.
I love motel one , the staff and just the way they treat you
Fantastic location, super clean and lovely staff. Only issue was the tv remote didn’t work and when we managed to get the tv to work, the picture was so bad given how old the tv was.
Hotel was immaculate rooms were clean and well stocked
Great location, clean and nice room, very good breakfast and service. 100% recommend this hotel in the heart of Manchester 🥰👍
Excellent location and value
Location was perfect, right beside the Manchester Piccadilly Station. Staff were super friendly and accommodating. Recommended for sure
Excellent, quick check in service, very good customer service from the young man on the desk
Lovely modern & clean hotel in a perfect location. Stayed twice now at the St Peter’s Sq property. Will stay again
Nice clean rooms very pleasant staff what more do you need only a decent cup in room for coffee would be nice to drink out of proper cup.
I put a request about twin beds, when I arrived there they informed me they do not do twin beds, I wish they informed me before I had arrived as I would of booked somewhere else instead, so I felt like I had no other option when I arrived there. I also wish that on the booking email that they would of mentioned that there was parking at the hotel, as we didn’t know this which meant we had to park the car quite a walk away.
An excellent little hotel in a fantastic location right in the centre of Manchester. Rooms are not huge but they are big enough and very comfortable. Reception staff are friendly and knowledgeable, and the bar and reception areas are smart and clean, as are the rooms themselves. I enjoyed the stay and would book again 👍
The hotel is very well maintained, clean and well resourced. The staff are the best part, very polite, caring and clearly well trained x
I'm normally REALLY impressed with Motel One - being a Be At One member etc and stay regularly for work and for leisure. This stay was marred by no TV coverage in my room. When I brought up at reception, in fairness they did say I could move but I was on way out and had obviously unpacked etc. I returned later and it hadn't been resolved. It's not going to stop me from staying at Motel One, I love the hotels, staff, prices etc but just one detail that made this stay not as perfect as the previous ones.
We stayed in a basic double room which was spotlessly clean and contained everything you could need for an overnight trip. The staff were friendly and efficient and couldn’t do enough to help. The free WiFi was also a bonus. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone.
Always a good stay at Motel One. Very friendly reception staff, bar staff and rooms always spotless. Never stay anywhere else in Manchester.
Really nice welcome when I arrived, the room was exactly as I expected and very, very clean. Nicely run hotel and a great breakfast as usual.
Alles was prima
Central, clean, reasonably priced and staff plesant
Couldn’t get any sleep because the marathon people setting stuff up all night not good
It was a little more basic/budget than i expected. The bar area etc was lovely and very classy but I found the rooms a bit dated, with artex walls and no ironing board or anything. And when we did ask reception for one it was like something from the 1970s. I would have expected a little better for the money.
Room was great, clean and tidy, the only issue was the cleaner nearly walking in on me while I was in the toilet. I was booked in for two nights so not sure why the room needed cleaning after one night of my stay.
Great location, lovely staff and very clean
We had a great stay at Motel 1 – the staff were extremely friendly, our room was very clean and surprisingly big. Considering its proximity to Manchester Picadilly train station, our stay was exceptional value for money. I highly recommend a stay at Motel 1.

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.
