Fantastic location....just 2 minutes walk from Picadilly Station. Amazing staff,,,especially at reception. They were informative and helpful. The room was spotlessly clean, plenty of towels and air conditioning. Strong wifi with no connection problems. One small point, a mini fridge would have been useful to keep water chilled. Overall, great value for money.... would highly recommend.
My third stay here - excellent as always - staff efficient and friendly, room clean and comfortable, brilliant location - highly recommended.
Great Counter Staff and clean and well presented rooms
Very clean and comfortable hotel in an excellent area for visiting the city. The area outside the hotel is busy but inside the hotel you would not know, its so quiet. From the minute you stepped through the door the staff made you feel very welcome and provided me with info on what to visit and how to get there, recommendations on where to eat as well, thank you for that.. I had a problem with the temperature control on the air con twice and it was fixed within minutes by the professional and very friendly staff.
Overall good, but bathroom wasn't as clean as it should have been, and the showerhead wasn't working quite right.
All very good , my only complaint was paper cups in the room for tea / coffee was disappointing
Staff as always make any stay special
It’s was outstanding and can’t wait to come back staff were amazing
This hotel is really well located by Piccadilly Train Station and Manchester City centre. The staff are really helpful and it is excellent value for money.
Clean modern premises. Room spacious, comfortable bed, fluffy white towels. Friendly helpful staff. Would have given a 10 but no waste bin in room and had to ask for bottle of water We didn’t use lounge/bar facilities thus difficult to score out of 10
Excellent and helpful staff very clean hotel and a very good breakfast
Lovely helpful staff and nice clean room
Rooms were incredibly basic and tired. Carpet is dingy. Sofa bed is like a brick. Woodchip on the walls. It felt like a budget hotel and not a £200p/n room. Bathroom is modern and clean. Not sure I’d use this chain again.
Friendly and helpful staff, warm welcome too. Clean and welcoming, spacious, with a great seating area and bar.
Very polite & professional staff. The whole place clean & tidy.
Lovely vibe, clean, comfortable and right next to the station.
Really lovely, budget hotel. Great lobby, staff and hotel room facilities.
I have stayed at many different Motel One locations and they are always my first choice to go to as the service is great and the rooms are nice.
A really lovely hotel. Spotlessly clean and proably the most comfortable hotel bed I've ever slept in. Good continental style breakfast. Convenient location.
Loved it
Our first time in a Motel One and won’t be our last - stylish, clean, such a comfortable bed, warm welcome, central location and so quiet. Lovely stay
Poppy fantastic at reception
Couldn't fault it. Easy for Piccadilly station. Very welcoming reception staff. Clean and modern hotel. Lovely quiet and well equipped rooms. Excellent value for money and would not hesistate to book with Motel One again. Really great!
Second stay here very good
A great and ideal location near the train station for easy access to important locations in the area. Great service and the room was very nice!
Great location, friendly staff, clean, tidy room
Room was well appointed and perfectly clean. The staff are always attentive and willing to help. Will always stay there when in Manchester.
Great place, friendly staff, great value
Poppy on reception was fabulous. very helpful, courteous, lovely manner, welcoming. She needs recognition.
Staff were very friendly. However the sink in my room was partially blocked. I reported it at around 8am after my arrival and when I returned in the evening it was till blocked. This made things like cleaning my teeth and shaving pretty unpleasant. Most hotels with a kettle have a couple of non-Indian teabags, like mint or camomile or something and that seems like an easy thing to provide.
The location is perfect for the station. The staff are very friendly and the breakfast is superb.
The room was the big failure here. Bad decor such as artex looking wallpaper made it look like I was 8 again visiting my grandmother's house. The white tv and borderless mirror was in contrast to the lovely art deco lobby that I walked into. The carpet was brown and looked very worn, you didn't want to take your shoes off until the very last moment. The pillows were not to my liking (so hard to get this right as everyone's preference is different I can appreciate). The bathroom was the saving grace regarding the room and in keeping with your wonderful lobby. Other than that, the staff were great, engaging and friendly.
Smart, convenient for train station. Good breakfast buffet. Good a/c in the heatwave and very well soundproofed.
Very pleasant and good breakfast
No hot water in the shower. When I let reception know they told me there was no manager available. I was told the manager would contact me, this didn’t happen. I had to follow up to get a response. I’ve stayed many times in this hotel and usually it’s very good, but the service this time has been extremely poor
Quiet and handy for the station and short walk to town centre
overall good. staff excellent. hdmi enabled tv would be a good.
Enjoyed our experience, everything was clean and looked good. Room was nice and bed was comfy. Only real downside was the breakfast was a bit disappointing.
Great central location for where I wanted to be on Friday night. Friendly helpful staff throughout the hotel. Room nice size and clean.
Location is excellent, rooms are big and clean, staff so lovely, the bar is friendly and modern decor ......we always stay here when in Manchester as train station is a 5 min walk
Conveniently situated a short walk and close to Manchester Piccadilly Railway Station. Great welcome from friendly, happy staff. Clean rooms and towels - no frills (as expected) and good value for money. Bed very comfortable.
Having arrived at Motel One Manchester-Piccadilly, it was noted I had made my booking through Bookings.com at wrong Motel One! My error! However, the staff where extremely helpful in assisting me to cancel my booking free of charge with Bookings.com and booked me in at their hotel which was my preference. 2nd Time stayed at this hotel and cannot praise them enough. All staff extremely friendly but professional. 5 star service! Will book at Motel One direct in future.
Friendly and professional staff. Clean pleasant room. Long queue for check in wasn’t great.
We had a wonderful one stay for Take That concert Our room wasn’t ready the staff kept our bags. Check in was smooth friendly reception staff in checking out and in was a good experience during a busy time. The hotel was lovely and clean in the communal areas and in the rooms. spacious bedrooms comfortable beds pillows and bedding.very good shower and towels We used the bar nice gentleman served us Breakfast had a good choice for Continental breakfast replenished well.
The members of Staff; Tiana, Jack, Emily, Bergen, Fernando, Keith, Poppy, Felix, Hailey, Angel, Jason, Luke, Joe and night staff all delivered excellent service and customer care at all times.
Safe, clean and value for price paid
Room is adequate, a little small. Wardrobe space is inadequate and there's nowhere for a suitcase to be placed.
Fantastic staff very friendly nothing too much trouble. Highly recommend this hotel
Location. Bag drop. Good sized room. Comfortable bed.
An excellent hotel, perfect for a budget stay. Far more comfortable than expected for the price.

Location and surroundings
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!
