Unfortunately was woken up several times with drunken guests shouting in the corridor
Quick check-in location was very accessible to public transport and staff were very excellent.
Great location and friendly staff.
All staff were so helpful and the hotel was spotless.
Easily met all of our expectations and exceeded some of them. Pleasant and hassle free stay. We would especially like to highlight that the front of house staff were excellent.

I arrived midnight at the hotel, I got everything ready for me. Went had a quick drink in the bar, which was nice. Passed reception and they wished me good night. Room was with a nice view and most important clean. In the morning went downstairs to get an iron which basically was given to me straight away. I wanted just coffee not the whole breakfast, they allowed me just to help myself. It was relaxing and nothing was too much. I left my bag in the hotel for the whole day and picked it up before leaving Manchester. Really enjoyed my stay, looking forward coming back.
A comfortable two-night stay at a very reasonably priced hotel in a central location just across the road from the station.
Great welcome friendly helpful polite staff, lovely hotel room was great cool casual lounge/bar area to relax would be nice if there was some beer on tap instead of just bottles
Close to station, very clean, lovely facilities and friendly staff
Ideal and very clean
My husband has mobility issues rang to ask about parking. Was told there was none. We parked on a meter around the back of the motel only to realise later I could have dropped him off on Whitworth St at the side door and then parked saving him a painful walk. The hotel itself was lovely and the staff welcoming. The accessible room was spacious and ideal.
Second visit to this hotel, clean comfortable friendly staff
Relaxed and comfortable
Very clean. Staff were very welcoming. Perfect for what we needed
Asked for singel quilts, got it. Good service. Nice view from twelfth floor. Fair price. Close to Piccadilly Station and to the city centrum. We will, as always, come back.
Motel One is a big city centre hotel with a plush reception area, but the rooms are no better than your average motel. There is virtually no clothes storage. Only one side of the bed had a bedside table, and that was awkward to use. The bedside light was also awkward to operate. It had one small table as a desk, with unsecured WiFi. The bed was very comfortable. It had a nice bathroom with an excellent shower. The only lighting was very bright, which is not what you want if you have to use during the night. Breakfast was totally self service. It was a buffet with the only hot item being boiled eggs. What there was was good.
Great customer service - especially when I was woken up at 5.30 in the morning by a knock on the door from a rather inebriated young man saying he just wanted a hug! They dealt with the matter quickly.
Great hotel in a very convenient location for the train station
Very clean, 2 minutes to Piccadily train station and helpful staf.
The staff were pleasant and very helpful. The room was clean and comfortable.
Very friendly staff and excellent location.
Great friendly hotel
Hotel is clean and trendy, excellent staff so pleasant and helpful, always smiling and welcoming. The location of the hotel is absolutely brilliant.
Excellent as always
Lovely staff. Super comfortable bed. Great location and excellent air conditioning.
First room, TV and air conditioning not working, Once I changed the room TV and air-conditioning working fine. There are no USB charging available in the room, Rooms are basic, bed is really comfortable. Great value for money.
Nice foods, people, room!
I wouldn’t stay anywhere else in Manchester I love the beds, the ambiance and most of the staff
Miss Chan and Jack perform themself as good servise provider. Air conditioner once too cold, or once too hot. Toilet ventilation is not good, No refrigerator provides.
Bar area nice Bedrooms and corridors in need of a revamp
Great location, very clean, lovely staff! 2 mins walk from the train station!
I really enjoyed my stay, and the location was perfect next to the train station.
We have stayed with Motel one before and as always you delivered great standards and a fabulous breakfast option. All round great staff.
Reception was so friendly and welcoming. Room was great and bed was so comfortable. Great stay and I will definitely be back again as it’s the perfect location for arrival and onward travel.
Excellent location, friendly staff, great breakfast. We would like to have a bit more space in the room.
Lovely clean and comfortable room
This was my first time staying at Motel One and I cannot say that I would stay again. Whilst the staff were welcoming and friendly, and the hotel was mostly clean, there were a few cleanliness issues in the room. Stained bed linen and towels. One towel was also worn around the edges and rough. The odd hair was noticed in the bathroom and shower screen dusty. The mattress was too hard and the pillows too soft, plus with two single beds neon pushed together, there was a dip in the middle.
Welcoming reception. Accommodated my ask for a room away from lift. Clean spacious room with comfortable bed and good shower with shower gel provided. Air conditioning was a bit noisy at times in the night and minor point but would be good to have a bedside table on both sides.
I had a minor glitch in the booking process. When I went to online check-in there was a request for payment and the site sent me to my bank account details - but I had paid in full when I initially booked.
We LOVED our stay. We will definitely book again with Motel One. The room was perfect, the bed was huge and comfy with lovely pillows. Great accessible bathroom with a fantastic walk in shower. Only thing we would love next time is actual mugs instead of reusable and also maybe a mini fridge. No notes otherwise! Excellent value for money.
Excellent stay in lovely Air conditioned room, clean and comfortable. A continental breakfast with lots to choose from, eaten in relaxed surroundings, Staff polite and efficient.
Everything was perfect. Would definitely stay again.
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
Lovely clean hotel with very friendly staff.
Good overall and very convenient location. Staff very welcoming ! I had to fix shower head and carpet not that clean Hate the plastic cups in room why not use just normal cups or mugs

Hotel Manchester Piccadilly
Welcome to Manchester, birthplace of music! Manchester made the soundtrack for any visit to the North-West: Oasis, The Smiths, Stone Roses and Take That grew to fame here. The Motel One Manchester-Piccadilly is adorned with wallpaper featuring famous local bands. In the bar area, club chairs by Varier and a seating cluster by Living Divani create a relaxed backstage ambiance, decorated appropriately with vinyl records and electric guitars. The symbol of the city, the hard-working bee, is also represented in the hotel, with a colourful photo collage dedicated to this emblem, golden hanging lamps by Produzione Privata in a shape reminiscent of a bee, and honey-yellow cushions on our Signet seating benches.
Our affordable Design Hotel is in the heart of Manchester, near sights such as the Royal Manchester Theatre and Manchester Cathedral. Directly opposite is Manchester’s main Piccadilly Station, putting destinations such as Salford Quays and Manchester airport in easy reach.
Book your room in our affordable hotel and follow Manchester’s friendly honey-collector through the city. Don't worry, Bee happy!
