Reception was too busy when checked in and out so didn’t have the ability to complain about the room. But the room smelt heavily of smoke. Room 413. The longer you spent in there the more you noticed it. Thanks
We have stayed in a few Motel One's but with this stay the room was very dated and needed a refresh, it was also quite small, the bathroom door didnt shut. Reception area was nice.
As always, Very Good! I will be back. For sure.
Early Sunday morning disturbances including window cleaning at 9am and fire alarm test at 10am. Wanted time to sleep after late night and considering check out is not until 12 it was disappointing. Otherwise would have been near perfect score,
No glasses or cups provided. The two paper cups we were provided with leaked-0ne paper cup each for coffee and water No water provided and only half a toilet roll for two people Antenna issue on TV ' kept going off and saying there was an issue
Lovely 2 night weekend stay. Room was comfortable with a great bed. Great location ideally situated near Piccadilly.
Great place to stay. Very friendly and helpful staff. Convenient to transport and the centre of Manchester. The room was very nice with all conveniences
Fantastic location and very clean lively staff.
Ideal city centre hotel . Everything we needed was available. Always a good stay at any Motel One
Overall my stay was excellent. There were only 2 details lacking in the room that have always been provided before : 1) a floor lamp and 2) a safe.
I very much welcome the free water but it would be helpful to have a glass in the room to enable consumption
We were on the top floor and the window was locked.I like the window open a little bit when sleeping.Room was too hot and I don’t use air conditioner
Good location in central Manchester and easy check in. Room clean and quiet with good choice of pillows
Great place to stay. please send copy invoice.
Very clean, friendly staff, comfy bed and great location.
Over the years we have enjoyed staying at all 3 Motel Ones in Manchester. We really like your hotels and think they are great value and well designed. On this occasion however we were disappointed with the cleanliness of the toilets in the reception area and the chair in our room (and the stool) were badly stained and unpleasant. This is our only criticism and your receptionist (blond petite lady, sorry didn't catch her name) did offer to change our room (11001) but we liked the corner views.
Great vibe, great location, great price.
Nice hotel with good location for the station
Staff were amazing- especially at reception ( sorry I can’t remember their names) But they were so helpful.
I really enjoyed my stay. The room was nice and clean and quite. The breakfast buffet was just right.
Wish I had gone to a Premier Inn. Room was cold when I arrived, and no blackout curtains or blinds.
Excellent staff at front desk and extremely good and healthy breakfast. Very clean rooms too
Great value and lovey hotel !
Wow, what a stay .. from the moment we arrived to check in (far too early I might add) the check in desk led by Fernando, we're super welcoming and helpful, letting us leave our bags at the hotel to allow us to enjoy the city centre, and giving us brilliant advice on pubs and restaurants near the hotel. The Molly House was exceptional btw. Burgan thank you for the excellent coffees and restaurant advice. Felix mans the bar and makes just THE BEST Negroni cocktails. He was so attentive, our glasses were barely empty before he was checking if you needed a refill and ensuring we were so well looked after. Breakfast was simple but delicious and the smiling, courteous and welcoming personality of Ausra and ensured a great start to each day and. From the moment we walked into the hotel to the moment we left, from reception staff, the bar staff, breakfast team and even the cleaners , everyone was smiling, polite and helpful. You're a credit to the Motel One Group and make the Hotel. We're looking forward to staying again soon and for longer ! Thank you 🙏😁
As always, my experience with my stay at Motel One has been second to none. From check-in to check-out, I've never had any issues and the staff are always more than happy to assist with any queries etc. I usually stay at the Piccadilly hotel when I am in Manchester. The location is central to where I like to venture around with friends. Great walking distance to the Village and neighbouring restaurants. 10/10
The only thing that can improve this excellent Hotel is having a proper ceramic cup for your morning tea instead of a paper one. It's the only fault I can find otherwise great in every aspect.
I wasn't planning on staying in Manchester that night, but I was returning from abroad and my flight was delayed, and by the time I had landed and got through the airport I had already missed the last train home. Having used this hotel before and being happy with it and the proximity to the railway station, I booked for the night and got an early train home the next morning!.
Someone on the bar at 3.25. Everybody busy on reception desk and people waiting at the bar. Waited 5 minutes and left. Lost a sale
Room and staff were great. The TV in the room had about 300 channels of which about 60 worked, many of which were repeats of working ones. The EPG was a sea of blank entries, channels that shut down years ago, and channels that did have entries but didn't work. Some channels gave a picture but due to weak signal kept glitching.
Close proximity to train station.Great dining and bars near by. Staff friendly and helpful. Room clean and comfortable. Public areas comfortable and well maintained.
First time staying in Motel One Manchester Piccadilly and it certainly will not be my last. Great central location right next to the main Piccadilly Station. Stunning hotel, with really friendly check-in staff. The room was perfect for a sole traveler; very clean, comfy bed and well decorated. Tea&coffee stand was a cute touch too. Bathroom was spotless and shower was great. Continental breakfast was great and Staff were friendly and attentive. Overall a fantastic stay and would highly recommend it.
Very helpful team and centrally located.
Very good and a good price
Fantastic experience! Lovely room, good location, delicious breakfast, and outstanding service. Hugest thanks to Christopher Graves, who very kindly mailed me my passport when I inadvertently left it in the hotel safe—it was in my hands 24 hours later, I couldn’t be happier with service that went above and beyond.
Great location, clean room. Friendly staff.
Lovely place to stay!
Great value for money. Really friendly reception staff. Accommodated our request to have a quiet room.
Pillows need replacing and could do with blackout curtains
I was welcomed even though it was very late at night. Everyone could not have been more helpful and friendly. The room was comfortable and clean and there was a really wide selection of fare for breakfast.
For a “basic” hotel offering, I was very impressed. Amazing value for money. Skipped breakfast as not a great fan of continental breakfasts and that seemed to be the only thing on offer. Only other slight aggravation was that the bar, whilst open late which is a plus, is located so near to the front door, and people regularly popping out for a cigarette does mean it can be a wee bit cold and drafty.
Stylish hotel with nice rooms and facilities. I would definitely return.
From the moment we walked in we were greeted by friendly staff to the spotless room comfortable bed also easy booking and a fabulous price. This was our 2nd stay and we will continue to make this our go to hotel when in Manchester. Xx
Negative, rooms to hot, airco not cooling enough and windows cannot be opened. Positve, very good beds and clean.
Excellent warm welcome. Hotel rooms feel dated.
Great staff friendly, cheerful and helpful. Good clean room.
Overall a good stay. Convenient location, disappointed to not have a room safe for valuables and limited lower level lighting in room and bathroom meaning to go to toilet in the night, you have to put main lights on. WiFi continually dropped out whilst in bedroom (1.42) meaning interrupted business video calls.
Great location. Friendly staff. Always great value for a stylish, comfortable hotel.
Very good. Helpful reception, good location clean room
Efficient check in, warm welcome, consistent and comfortable rooms to a good standard. Bad smell on drains in the bathroom on my last stay that I reported the reception. Feedback was well received by your reception staff giving me confidence that you care about your customers and want to improve. I don’t like the plastic tea cups! I brought my own mug this time.
Nice room, good price, close to where i as going, no complaints👍

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.
