nice decor, clean comfy rooms, friendly staff
As always, very quick to check in, great welcome, very clean room, great breakfast. No complaints from me!
Really nice hotel close to the train station staff are friendly rooms are nice comfy bed
Dead shield bug in the bed! Room also smelled a bit musty, however the bed was comfortable and did the job for one night. Breakfast was good, but not much hot food choice. Bar was very reasonably priced and very well stocked
Another Great Stay!!
Rooms were lovely and clean. There should be a mini fridge to allow guests to store perishable items and medications.
We enjoyed a lovely stay at Motel One, Piccadilly recently. Our room was comfortable and clean, hotel staff were friendly and accommodating and breakfast was fresh and plentiful. Our only negative observation was that the breakfast seating area is located beside a busy sliding exit door and it became very cold and uncomfortable to sit and have breakfast there. Prehaps this door could be kept closed for the short duration of breakfast times to ensure the comfort of your guests. Other than that, our review of this hotel is a very positive one. Thank you.
Clean, well appointed room and comfortable bed. Street noise from trams off-putting.
Excellent location, comfortable room and bed, all very clean. Bar area nicely decorated and friendly staff.
Did not like the pillows, paper cups and bathroom steamed up when using the shower there was no where to sit in front of a mirror to do your hair and makeup. I was expecting a proper English breakfast. On the plus side, room clean and adequate, staff very helpful.
I really enjoyed my stay: the overall aesthetic and vibe of the reception/bar area was really nice. The reception staff member who checked me in was really friendly and helpful. I really liked the room, with the bed very comfy and the shower really clean and high quality. I also really appreciated the breakfast - it was lovely and fresh with lots of variety. Even though I am British, I much prefer a continental approach to breakfast over the 'full English' approach, so it was perfect for me. If I had one complaint it was the paper cups in the room for tea and coffee, as these were small and flimsy. And no shelf next to one side of the bed - the side with the socket - was a little bit annoying. But not enough to detract from the overall rating. I had a lovely stay.
Clean but Basic Rooms - limited hanging facilities. No bedside table. Reception & bar nice but have to eat breakfast in reception area!
very friendly and welcoming staff, clean, comfy beds, quiet. would not hesitate to stay again. Only down side was snack menu wasn't available on the Sunday evening as they'd run out of toasties
Great location for visitors by train and a really nice value for a few days in the city centre
The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was good, but the other arrangements in the room were unsatisfactory. I like to do some work on my laptop, but the only thing to sit on at the table was a very uncomfortable stool, which was far too low and had no back support. After half an hour I could hardly stand with induced back ache. The only other thing to sit on was a very badly designed chair which was equally uncomfortable. I tried sitting on that for about two minutes and gave it up as a bad job. Breakfast was not too bad, but apart from boiled eggs there was no hot choice, and no Marmite for toast. I realise Motel One is an international chain, but in an English location surely it is not too difficult to provide Marmite? You had crumpets, after all. They have Marmite at Holiday Inn, so why can't you?
Very well situated hotel. Adjacent to Piccadilly Station plus reasonably priced ( by city centre standards ) NCP nearby. Rooms are comfortable, if perhaps slightly smaller sized, and I would have appreciated some glasses in the room, however the rooms are clean and the bed is comfortable. I didn’t have the breakfast but it looked very good in the morning
Straight forward booking. Across the road from Piccadilly Station. Friendly service. And the best thing was the 3PM late check-out for membership holders, which is great if you want to have a shower after completing the Manchester Marathon before getting a train home.
Very reasonable option, good access to transport, allows late check-ins. Only 2 - reasons for not giving a 10 - If light sleep and room is above tram line you will hear the tram - in 1 stay out 6, shower-room had hair left on the wall from previous occupant.
Ridiculously overpriced because marathon. Basic room.
Lovely clean room. Great location. Friendly staff. Only one recommendation- thicker blackout curtains.
We had a great stay, hotel decor was great we love Manchester music everywhere was spotless. Staff were great so friendly Room was perfect and the bed and pillows were so comfortable will definitely be staying again we did pay a lot for the room over normal rates which was understandable due to how busy Manchester was on our weekend
Great location. Warm welcome and clean room. (No food options)
The room was clean and comfortable. Also I enjoyed the breakfast.
Was allowed an early check in. Very convenient for Piccadilly Station. Clean and tidy room.
Great reception staff, very friendly and efficient
Basic budget accommodation delivered to a good standard.
A friendly welcome. Comfortable bed , clean . Enjoyed the breakfast which cost extra. A good varied choice of continental breakfast . A few other pastries would have been nice but that’s personal preference. Would definitely recommend & stay again as it’s a great central base with parking right next door at Q park & main hub tram/train station just over the tuas
An excellent stay. The bed was comfortable, the staff were friendly and the hotel was clean. I will definitely return.
Great value, stylish stay
We've stayed with Motel One on many occasions. It always provides a consistent and fabulous service. Staff are always friendly
I needed to change the address of my invoice as it was wrong. The staff at reception initially said it was not possible and then took ages to do this.
Caroert on common corridor level 3 looked very dirty and could had been renewed. Was given room 317 which did not have any view. News channell Sky did not work
I have stayed with you a few times the rooms are usually ok, but this time the air con wasn't working so hot in the room no phone to call down it was making a noise so couldn't sleep as well in the morning told the receptionist she just said she would report it.
Would be nice to have some water in the room.
Staff were friendly, but the hotel seemed VERY basic in terms of what was on offer. Room was fine, BUT, no phone or iron / ironing boarding, so several trips to reception needed. And the bathroom, although everything worked, it had a strong unpleasant smell, which was present when I first entered the room and when I left. Breakfast, there were some choices, but very basic. Why would porridge not be an option!
Great location with quality and well designed lobby and rooms. Friendly staff. Very comfortable and perfect for my requirements - I will certainly book in future!
Best hotel in Manchester, friendly, relaxed excellent clean rooms and excellent breakfast.
Have stayed a few times due to location, spotlessly clean rooms and the most important great staff... all interactions from the front desk to those dealing with the rooms was professional, helpful and above all friendly.
good experience
Room was clean and a reasonable size for one. The toiletries were limited but sufficient for one night. There was no bottled water in the room which was disappointing
I had a really great stay at Motel One Manchester Piccadilly. My room was very clean, modern and with all the facilities, most of all the bed was really comfortable, luxurious bedding. The staff was very friendly and accommodating and I was able to use the room before checking in and on the day of departure offered to store my luggage. The breakfast was delicious, continental buffet. The atmosphere very relaxing and with a cool vibe and there is also a bar lounge area to relax in. All in all, a budget friendly and great experience, highly recommended, I will definitely keep using Motel One in the future.
Air Conditioning didn’t work in the room and it was unbearable! Shower had no power and trickled at times Comfortable beds Great location
Clean hotel and friendly staff. Also in a good location very near Manchester Piccadilly Station
I loved everything about the hotel.I slept soundly like i was at home
Great staff, very small room , didn’t have breakfast as no hot food
Hot room with ineffective Aircon meant a very bad sleep.
Friendly helpful staff, clean well laid out room. Great location.
Very friendly and exceptionally helpful staff who attended to all our needs.
Room was basic but comfortable. You can hear trams early in the morning. Hotel door lets in light and very noisy to shut. Not good sound proofing as could hear corridor noise. Bathroom door shuts in it's own which we didn't like. No wardrobe space, 3 hangers each on open rail. No USB chargers but electric plugs beside the bed. Bathroom was small but adequate. TV needed updating and was glitchy, only had a few channels and you couldn't stream to it. No windows to open, A/C was outdated and difficult to use even with instructions pamphlet. Reception and bar area very pleasant and location was excellent for city centre.
Helpful and pleasant staff. Would be nice to have a proper cup in the room rather than a disposal one. Great shower
