It was pretty average for the price I paid. The rooms are smaller than they appear and not very well equipped.
Good location friendly vstaff
Super-friendly check-in: quick, attentive, polite, and very charming. The same goes for the lady in housekeeping on August 1st and 2nd (second reservation).
Great Hotel.. friendly staff great location clean rooms what more could you ask for
Lovely clean hotel with very friendly staff.
From arrival to departure everything was perfect. The hotel is in a great location for restaurants and bars. The rooms so airy and immaculately clean and comfortable
Fantastic hotel Would stay again Great location alsp
The property was adequate for what we needed. The experience was friendly and easy going.
As always, staff are friendly and efficient.
Great hotel in the centre of Manchester.
Easy to use for a night out. Good staff. Rooms functional and had to find the plug but 9.5 as an experience
Polite staff, clean hotel nice to get free 750ml water. However no glasses in the room only 2 non recycling cups for hot drinks.
Incredible room for the price. Second time I have stayed here as the location is fantastic for city centre. The hotel is immaculately clean. Rooms have everything you need and the comfiest bed. Staff are super friendly. Can recommend more highly.
Great location beside train (& tram) station, as well as easy walking distance to shops, chinatown, city hall etc. Bathrooms tiny but very functional with great quality towels provided. Breakfast had a decent selection, though a low fat yoghurt option would have been an added bonus. Room was small but functional - although an additional shelf or somewhere to put clothes would have been an advantage. Some usb ports for charging would also have been welcomed.
Great location. Friendly helpful staff.
Everything clean and tidy. The rooms were beautiful and very quiet
I was very impressed with the hotel and will definitely stay again. The rooms were clean and comfortable and check in was super easy. Staff were very helpful and friendly and the room price paid was extremely reasonable. Many thanks for a great stay.
Clean, comfortable hotel in a central location & at a very competitive price.
Smart, modern, clean and tidy. Everything works and the beds are comfy. I'm also glad that they have replaced the paper cups to something far more suitable.
Excellent value for money, perfect position for shopping and eateries. Beautiful hotel, only faults are... the room was very small and there's no hanging space or storage, but apart from that it's a gorgeous place.
Had a lovely stay, bed and pillow was comfortable, room was spotless! My only suggestion would be having usb charging points in the sockets as I had a few things that I needed to charge at once.
Motel One Manchester- Royal Exchange is a great favourite of mine in the city centre. It’s all about the staff who are truly exceptional. If you’re looking for a traditional cooked breakfast, you won’t find one here, thankfully, but the continental selection, including meats, cheeses, hummus, tomatoes and cucumber is just the best. My only disappointment this time was my room. It’s an old building and so the rooms can be odd shapes. Whoever designed my Special One with a View made a mess of it as the dead space made what is usually a good sized Special One, feel cramped. The foot of the bed was too near the window, making it too difficult to get from one side of the room to the other. The receptionist was extremely helpful and offered to move me but I couldn’t face the upheaval. It didn’t detract from my enjoyment of the hotel overall but I was a bit disappointed by my room this time.
Enjoyed our stay, great location. Nice staff. Breakfast was reasonable. I would definitely come back if ever visiting Manchester again
Nice comfortable place to stay
Very good clean and pleasant hotel with friendly staff
Excellent experience at the right price
Clean, and modern decor. Paid extra 10 pounds for more space however was in a box so was surprised that's what I got for more money tbh. I also wish the parking was more controlled was extremely hard to get out.
Beautiful hotel, friendly staff, unbelievable price.
Wonderful welcome at reception on arrival, change room when I said did not want to be next to the lift.
Great location and very helpful staff
Excellent staff, very responsive to questions. Clean, functional, did what was required
Staff were most helpful after a bit of a hiccup initially
Well located modern hotel in the centre of Manchester. Fully air conditioned too which is very welcome during the Summer. Friendly staff. Will definitely return.
Angel went above and beyond. Very professional and friendly.
Excellent as always; friendly staff and well-appointed clean room. Lovely bar area with great service too.
The staff are always friendly, polite, well informed and professional. I enjoy staying at this hotel very frequently.
Great location along with the usual comfy rooms, friendly staff and relaxing bar. What’s not to like about Motel One?
Excellent. Modern and convenient room design, quiet room, delicious breakfast, polite staff. And so close to the rail tation. I also appreciated early breakfast (from 6 a.m.)
Excellent location, few steps away from station. Clean rooms, warm welcome, friendly staff.
Great location in Manchester, only think I'd knock 1 point for was no water available, last time we got a voucher for a bottle of water
A lovely hotel in a great location. I had not heard of this chain of hotels before, but we needed somewhere to stay in the centre of Manchester for three nights and this represented great value for money and it had parking. It was much more than that though. Parking is £25 a day but you would pay that at any city centre car park and it was onsite and secure.When we arrived I popped in to the reception to ask how to access the car park and a lovely member of the reception team came with me to show us where it was and to open the secured gate for us. Once we were safely parked we got the lift up one level to reception, we checked in and were given our room key. The room was not huge but it had everything we needed for a weekend stay, a large bed, one comfy chair, a small table with tea and coffee making facilities, a safe, a large tv which defaults to tropical fish swimming around when first turned on and a decent bathroom with a walk in shower. We didn't have the room serviced whilst we were there so we replenished our supply of teabags and milk from reception when required. The hotel itself is bright and modern with lots of comfy seating. A large reception desk was always manned so we never had to wait to be served. There is also a large bar which we took advantage of on our return on two of the nights. The staff were always friendly and helpful amidst all the comings and goings of a busy city centre hotel. It's the ideal place to stay and we wouldn't hesitate to return to this hotel when we are next in Manchester.
Lovely hotel. Great location with plenty of fantastic restaurants and cafes nearby. Rooms and beds very comfortable. Excellent price. A great choice for staying in Manchester.
We've stayed at this hotel both times we've visited Manchester and would absolutely stay here again. The staff are really friendly and ready to help with any questions or problems. The room was really spacious and cleaned well each day.
Always stay here when in Manchester. Great location, cleanliness of rooms constantly very good and all staff from front of house to cleaning staff helpful and very polite. Would recommend.
Comfortable hotel in a great location. Helpful staff. Rooms have all you need for a short stay.
Comfortable room with good air conditioning, good bathroom. The staff allowed me to check in once my room was ready which I really appreciated. My only slight criticism was that the landing carpets weren't vacuumed (level 6) so there a few bits of debris (eg a tissue and a bit of food) left after the cleaners had finished.
Nice hotel but feel something is needed in the shower for your own bottles of shampoo etc as resting a bottle on top of the taps is not adequate enough so many alternatives. There were always shower shelves but have been removed.
My 2nd time visiting this hotel and I think it's great. The prices, value, service, friendliness and cleanliness are great. I must give special credit to Georgina on reception and Mario (Bar Manager) who I thought were fab. For me, the bed was too low and too soft - my wife however thought her bed was perfect. I would have liked there to have been decaffeinated tea and coffee available, and skimmed or semi-skimmed milk. But I will be back!
Last minute night away, easy enough to book, checked in EARLY! About 1.30pm which was brilliant, massive bed very clean room amazing location, very quite and really worth the cost which wasnt very expensive anyway!
Excellent hotel with clean rooms, friendly staff, good variety of breakfast and easy access to Manchester Airport and Picadilly Station. Will come back again!

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. Our Hotel Manchester-Piccadilly, Hotel Manchester-St. Peter's Square and Hotel Manchester-Royal Exchange offer unique design, friendly service and stylish rooms with cosy box-spring beds.
After booking your stay, you can look forward to free WiFi, an organic breakfast and high design for low prices. A tip for the bon vivant: in our One Lounge, you can savour not just a healthy breakfast but also an afternoon coffee or evening glass of wine.
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.
