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.
Great location, clean room and everything worked fine. All good....apart from the in ap check in which demanded to know my passport details.... I'm a domestic citizen, why?! I don't recall it doing this before, anyway I couldn't be bothered with the faff.
Great staff and great location
I had been a little disappointed by the facilities in the room - normally there have been two cups in the room, only for there just to be the one. Having two cups had enabled me to have a cup of tea and the other to drink water. With just the one cup I couldn't make a cup of tea without having the cup also having a tea aftertaste when I also wanted to drink water. I can understand the need to be more eco friendly, however, this was an issue for me. Also, I have found on my last few visits (actually most of them), the hard-boiled eggs do not peel at all well, and a substantial part of the egg (white part) coming away in big clumps, to mainly leave the yolk. This has rarely happened all the other times I have eaten full-boiled eggs.
Cleanliness and staff interactions were good as always but the power cut out in the room overnight and didn't turn back on in the morning. Was checking out that day so not a huge inconvenience but still not ideal.
Lovely hotel, lovely city and the staff on reception were great. Shame we were only there for one night.
Lovely hotel. Great sweets.
My first stay and I was very impressed. Great location, friendly staff and spotless throughout. The generous complimentary water was very useful on a hot day and the room was perfect for an overnight stay. The bar area is lovely, welcoming and comfortable. Would recommend and definitely stay here again.
wonderful location, clean room, and nice staff
Nice hotel Comfy beds Great shower
Very good location to shops and bars in the city centre. Staff very helpful, bed was comfortable and room was clean.
Great service and friendly staff. We felt very welcomed and at home. The central location was great for access to bars and venues. I’d definitely stay again.
Always a great stay, staff lovely and rooms clean
Nice bar downstairs, helpful reception staff and appreciated reception being 24 hrs. Lifts worked well and didn't have to wait, comfortable bed and good shower, room very clean. So close to picadilly station too!
The hotel was beautiful. I was a bit of a pain and asked to change rooms twice. As I don't sleep well so ended upgrading to the room with a view. Staff were really good.
Very friendly staff, who answered all questions and provided good advice regarding placing to eatm
Excellent location and friendly staff, but room could have been cleaner
Brilliant facilities, exactly where we needed to be. Reception staff very helpful and knowledgeable. Bar staff were a little grumpy but came round in the end. A great hotel and location. Would absolutely recommend!
Everything was exceptional.. Location, cleanliness, comfort, style, welcoming reception, value for money. Although the plastic cups were recyclable, replacing them with ceramic would be the only recommendation I could make. I hope the high standards are maintained because I really enjoyed my stay and would stay again when I visit my daughter.
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.
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.
