Friendly staff, great breakfast, ideal location for my needs
Fantastic location, excellent staff, room comfortable and functional, bar area and staff amazing!
Staff super friendly, room and services all great. I had a blocked sink on arrival and workman fixed morning after. Overall a great place to stay and excellent value for money.
All good. Only limited selection of TV channels actually available.
Excellent location, great price, high standard of cleanliness, very friendly staff. Would recommend to anyone who wants to be right in the centre of the shopping district!
Great value, friendly staff, amazing city centre location, clean rooms, decent breakfast. Highly recommend.
This is a great choice for budget friendly accommodation in Manchester. The rooms are decently sized and the beds are cozy. The hotel is in a good location and well-connected by public transportation. The breakfast at the hotel is basic and offers a limited selection of items to start your day. I did have some troubles with the bedside tables though. The sharp corners of the table is on the same level as the bed and there is a high-chance for guests to accidentally be hurt in the sleep. I had bumped or scratched on it a couple of times in the sleep. Apart from this minor incovenience, everything else is perfect.
The air condition should be able to run all the time. It shut off after 2 hours, and I had to turn it on by myself. Not very good during the night, do I did not sleep well. Asked about this in reception, but did not get any help. Waited for maintenance to help, but nobody came.
Lovely and clean hotel staff friendly and helpful always use this hotel group if I can
Fantastic staff friendly and helpful the room may of been small but it was big enough and very comfortable
The hotel and room were excellent. The location was great, and the lady on reception, Maria, gave great service - she was very friendly, gave us a great room, and extended our check out time, as we were in Manchester to celebrate my partner’s birthday.
Lovely friendly welcome from staff at reception, room was nice, place was nice & cool (stayed while weather was very hot). Great location. Well presented & delicious breakfast. All staff seemed happy at their job. Would definitely recommend.
Great location, staff helpful & welcoming and room spotless
First time at Motel One, enjoyed our stay , fab hotel Bar staff when we stayed were brilliant especially with the World Cup banter, 10/10
Enjoyed the service staff friendly and always ready to help well done
The reception staff was outstanding
We really enjoyed our stay. Lovely clean room, comfy bed, amazing double glazing that was practically sound proof. We had a small issue with a noisy neighbour, but it was delt with very quickly. I loved being able to control the temperature of our room, especially as we stayed during a heatwave. All staff were friendly and helpful. We would definitely stay here again.
Amazing stay as usual I just wish to deep clean the carpet
Very conveniently located hotel; I had a nice room with a view, a tea cooker, a comfortable bed and a little table (!) (an unusual thing in a hotel nowadays). The shower worked OK (could have been a bit stronger, but then, it was on the 11th floor), and the air con worked perfectly. The only (slight) drawback: a couple of shelves or a drawer to put in clothes would be nice. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The only thing I would like you to take a bit more care is the breakfast: the coffee was simply not drinkable (and I am used to the American swill), and the cheese had a very weird taste (probably not too fresh). Otherwise: a very good deal; I continue to recommend Motel One to friends.
Motel one is always my preference when I visit cities. A quality hotel for a competitive price and in Manchester, when we visit the Bridgewater Hall it's so handy! As a one member I like the free water and reduced rates. I especially like the fact we have been put in the corner room ie 350/ 450 as more spacious and quiet. We chose to have breakfast in the morning as not overpriced and fresh quality food. And staff very attentive and refreshed food regularly. Bar staff friendly and complimented me on my outfit that made me feel good. Overall the Motelone ethos is high standards and good staff training that is the norm not just a one off. Look forward to my return in November ( if not before!) I book through the app so think this may be useful to add to booking question.
The air conditioning always switch off itself...that's no good when we are sleeping, all sweat.
Lovely friendly staff. Beautiful clean hotel
Poppy was excellent and greeted me when i arrived, it had been a long journey because of the heat and train cancellations, and we chatted and i was given a bottle of water, and my room keycards, i was next to the lift so that was a little annoying during the night/early hours. breakfast was lovely, as usual, you have a great selection, and checking out was brilliant, nice and fast and poppy was lovely again, the only downside of the stay, was when i came back to the hotel the door wouldn’t open, and even though there were staff inside and it was a journey around to the other entrance, but a great stay nonless, i’d happily return many times,
Having worked in restaurants, bars and hotels myself, at a managerial level, I am always impressed by staff who work very hard and provide good service. This is the case with the guys who work here. The place was clean and the staff were friendly and helpful. The guy on the bar was a little short tempereded with me at first, and then became friendly. I did not enjoy this welcome. He was working very hard and he was very focused on his tasks, but I did feel a bit his initial greeting was slightly rude. I completely understand his position (I have been in it myself many times) it's low pay and long hours and he has to deal with a lot of irritating people. But I would recommend a little more refinement in his demeanor. I didn't enjoy feeling unwelcome. Other than that, I would stay here again. It's a good place.
Unfortunately there weren’t many vegan options at the breakfast buffet
Efficient check-in, clean and functional room, good breakfast, helpful and friendly staff, easy check-out and safe luggage store
Great welcome, great faculties, lovely clean bathroom with powerful shower. Quiet at night with amazing aircon when it was 30degrees outside!
We absolutely love this hotel. Great location, Amazing staff. Especially Marie on reception. She is fantastic. We are regular guests here. And she always gives us the most warmest welcome. It's always clean. The beds are so comfortable. The showers are fabulous.
Very nice bar and lounge. Unfortunately no English breakfast and no daily supplement of toilet paper.
Couldn't fault our stay! Staff were friendly, hotel is spotlessly clean, very happy with our room and a good variety of food for breakfast. Great location too!
Lovely rooms. Staff friendly. In the middle of a heatwave, the rooms with lovely air conditioning was a blessing. Shower great. Very clean and comfy room.
Friendly staff. Great location, room was clean and had everything I needed. Breakfast had a an excellent range
Very minimalistic, but the staff were all so helpful. Excellent breakfasts (cooked breakfast not available, which suits us fine, as we never eat them). Superb choice of everything else). Location is very conveniently close to Piccadilly Station and a main tram stop.
Staff were very friendly, helpful and efficient. Brilliant.
Big fan of MotelOne and a big fan of St. Peter's Square hotel. As before everything was great, will be staying again.
I had the best experience in Motel One Manchester St Peter Square. The room was spotless, food was great, staff were so friendly and accommodating. Cant wait to visit again nextime!
Nice hotel helpful staff well situated
Excellent stay at very short notice. After arriving in Manchester expecting to stay at a different property we were devastated to discover a booking error. After advice to check your motel one we were delighted to book with ye. Very clean and very friendly staff. Central to everything in Manchester. Also worked less expensive than original property booked.
Found all your staff extremely helpful and pleasant. Room very clean. Delighted with the magnifying mirror. However, not impressed with cups - I had a nasty taste each time I had a cup of tea (maybe I previous occupant had used a special tea which was absorbed by the cup). Second gripe:- Only discovered, after I had finished breakfast, that cereals, fruit and yoghurt were on the opposite side of the room. They are what I usual eat for breakfast. So I moaned to my other half that it was years since I’d had so much bread! But, all in all, a very pleasant experience.
I appreciated the 12 noon checkout and the friendly and accommodating staff at the hotel. I think Motel One as a hotel company is a great product and brand - I stay a lot in Manchester for work and I would like to know whether a more longer term booking arrangement - booking in advance - could result in better rate per night? I also think you need to sort out your website - it is predominately in German - and I'm sure you will be missing out on booking because of it. I work with a lot of web design agencies who I know could make your website much more effective for you and happy to help you if you would like to connect me with someone in the co. who is in responsible for managing this side of your business.

We had a brief but excellent stay at Royal Exchange. We arrived very early for check in and Fatima was super helpful and friendly and arranged storage for our case while we got on with our day. On return Fatima was still on the front desk and checked us in still really friendly and chatty after what must have been a long shift. Our room was clean comfortable and cool which was great on a hot day ( fantastic air con ) Every one else we encountered the following day were lovely especially in the breakfast room . Recommend to anyone as great value for money
The rooms were nice and clean, very comfortable bed and pillows with friendly staff.
We have stayed a few times and it's always a nice experience.Would like to say a big thank you to Ryan on your reception.He went out of his way to print off our gig tickets,as I had forgotten to do them at home.So I hope be will be recognised as a valued member of your hotel as our night would have been ruined.
room 8.07 very small, no USB sockets for charging phones, no glasses for water, overall very disappointing, for a city which as numerous hotels for overnight stays and the most expensive car park, will think before booking again !"!!!!
Overall a very nice hotel. Staff are really friendly, the whole hotel is very clean and the price was really reasonable. The lack of cooked breakfast would have been disappointing if I wasn't dieting for my summer holiday, but other than that, very good.
Hotel with nice and cosy lobby and bar. Excellent breakfast. Very friendly and helpful staff. I got a room that for some reason was very smelly. Within 20 minutes I got another one which was perfectly fine. Very helpful and understanding staff members. Perfect location in the centre of Manchester.
The room was spacious, clean and comfortable. The staff were really friendly and helpful
A superb stay. Everything was perfect especially the air conditioning.
I had an amazing stay, the lady that checked me in was amazing!
Hotel was okay but unlike what the employee at reception promised me on this evening, the address wasn’t right on the invoice on the following morning.
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.
