Very comfortable stay. Staff at reception couldn’t be more helpful. I’m not used to the open wardrobe space but completely understand it to be in keeping with a modern motel. So good to find a hotel with very little noise in the bedrooms. Will recommend to friends.
Great hotel, but as you don't have telephones in the room to call reception, it might be an idea to leave a bottle of water in the room. Some people don't realise there is no water until they are in bed and can't phone reception.
Heating in room was off and unable to switch on. However after a long day it was not a big enough issue to chase up.
Really nice staff and a gorgeous clean room. Was really impressed that check out wasn't until 12pm.
I would give my stay on Wednesday night 10 but last night a 5 as there was no one there to let us in. We rang the bell six times and in the end someone from the foyer had to get a guy to let us in. He couldn't find the booking and was pretty rude to us. However, the room was as good as ever and also the breakfast service was excellent on the Wednesday and pretty good on this morning, although the lady was in a lot of pain from her hip. A great hotel and love staying there.
Clean, comfortable room. Friendly staff.
Very good, Thankyou
Excellent all round
Very friendly staff throughout our stay, always on hand if we needed anything. Room was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. This is the fourth time I have stayed at this hotel and would not change as it is great value for money.
Always comfortable, quiet, great location and fantastic service
the hotel is lacking basic comforts that you'd expect in any hotel these days - hair dryer, iron, cold shower, poorly placed plug sockets. it also wasn't cheap or even on the lighter side of reasonable. the breakfast was also super disappointing - nothing hot available.
The sink was blocked
Small but comfortable room. Good pillows!
My friend and I had a wonderful weekend staying at Motel One St Peter’s Square. Very central and with the tram stop outside nothing was too far away. Staff very helpful and a great Continental breakfast to set us up for the day. Although the rooms weren’t huge they had everything we needed and the bed was extremely comfortable. All in all a memorable stay, thank you.
Very nice, clean and efficient hotel in a great location
Excellent location, great bar atmosphere, temperature of room was cool having taken time to read inroom instructions on how to work but several times trying to increase temperature was knocked back to programmed SET temperature and did not have time to go to reception for assistance,also why NO toilet roll holder in bathroom .check in staff very friendly
Absolutely loved our stay! Location was perfect for our visit, prices in lounge were affordable and the room was clean and tidy. All the team we encountered were friendly and helpful and we would absolutely stay again.
I really wanted to give a higher score, however a couple of issues. - The toilet didn’t flush properly, water was running continuously. - The carpets could do with a real good vacuum. - I woke up during the night with the smell of Cannabis throughout the bedroom (I understand this is beyond hotels control)
We enjoyed our stay at Motel One. The location was excellent, friendly staff, comfortable beds and a lovely bar in which to relax. We would definitely recommend staying here.
We enjoyed our 2 night stay. The hotel was perfectly located with easy access to local bars and restaurants and public transport. Our room was clean and the bed very comfortable. The pillows were amazing offering a soft and firm option. It was a pleasant touch having a window which opens - something that is lacking in many hotels these days! We would definitely stay here again!
I'd won my stay via Take A Break magazine. Check in was easy. The room was clean. Hotel is in an awesome location
All good, no issues
I really appreciate the combination of the hotel location, the really fine staff all through the hotel, the clean rooms, the breakfast and so on. I do not need to look elsewhere for an hotel in Manchester. Motel One is just what I need.
Excellent location of the hotel. The staff were excellent throughout. A really lovely hotel
Friendly staff, Very comfortable room. Great bar open late which suited us after a gig. Amazing location for getting to the Etihad Campus as the tram stop format Peter’s Square is a 30 second walk!!!!
Reasonably priced, great location.
Always my "go to" hotel in Manchester. Great service, location and price. And breakfast is excellent!
Consistent Quality, Service, and Cleanliness. Non-working Thermostat in my initial room. Amazing service at Midnight to transfer me to new room. Shanois didn't even question the situation and provided a rapid solution. Pablo followed up with a kind mail. As we used to say in on my football team... "You put on a clinic" (You set the example for the rest)
Neat environment & professionalism in customer service
Guests can not access the toilet once they have checked out or before check in the room. Due to the key card situation. The bar is unattended for long periods, so guests must walk to the front of the building and wait at reception to request use of the toilet! Which is unacceptable especially for me with a serious medical condition. There is no radar key toilet access. This was very stressful. The hotel bedroom door doesn't actually lock from the inside, at least mine did not. The wifi is very poor and didn't work in the room or bar area during my 3 day stay. Hotel allows guests to return drunk and disorderly 1am-5am period disturbing others with no control over behaviour. It is worth enforcing a standard quiet hours policy due to the small nature of rooms and poor sound insulation to corridor. The hotel bar is open till 2am which appears to increase this problem. The hotel is clean. The room was also clean to a good standard! The cleaners are doing a good job.
Loved it, clean and spacius room, and staff was very nice
Clean friendly and no hassle. Excellent location.
Great hotel and friendly staff! We would have just liked 2 pillows each not one! But apart from that it was great :)
Great hotel, great location, great staff and great value for money compared to other hotel options in Manchester
Reception staff helpful and friendly. Beds are very comfortable. Very convincing location. Beds very comfortable.
All good, bed, room clean, staff were very helpful.
The bed was so comfortable and I liked that you had a choice of a firm and soft pillow. The lounge area is really nice, with low lighting which is a nice and intimate touch. Would definitely recommend
Excellent friendly staff. Room immaculate.
For what I needed worked well. Stylish, clean hotel with very good staff, however the rooms (and bathrooms) are far too small for anything other than a one night stay. Also missing a trick with no gym/fitness area (same with all Motel/Cloud Ones)
Would’ve preferred if there were shampoo and conditioner in the rooms but other than that everything was great.
Booked through work but seemed a decent price. Room was basic but comfortable and had everything you needed. Reception were friendly. Was surprised that post-it notes were used for room numbers - even Premier Inns and Holiday Inn Expresses have basic cards with information and room numbers. Did not use bar but looked a nice area. Did not have breakfast at the hotel due to the limited options so preferred to eat elsewhere. Good location and seemed clean. Would stay at this one again.
Everything was lovely. But it is stressful and unnecessary that the TV starts automatically when you plug in the key card.
Room was spacious and tidy, check in and out was easy,
Excellent location. Friendly, helpful staff and clean comfy rooms. Only small thing is that they don’t do twin rooms.
Staff were very friendly and helpful. Hotel very clean..
Really disappointing stay. Room was ok but there was no hot water from either the shower or sink. We had a train to catch so didn’t have time to report the issue until we checked out. When we reported it to the reception our concerns were dismissed with no apology. We paid £265 for 1 and at the very least would have expected to be able to have a hot shower.
Another great stay at Motel One St. Peter's Square. Love this hotel, very comfy, great atmosphere and best location!
Top observations - Hotel cleanliness, decor, and great location. Most of the staff were very accommodating and pleasant. Bar/restaurant staff were okay. Interestingly, the house keeping manager checked in on our room comfort which was a polite gesture. Standard rooms are quite small, suitable for a single person. Overall a very convenient place to stay.
nice hotel, friendly staff
Excellent, lifts failed once but was swiftly repaired

And our hotel not only has great transport connections: its central location makes it perfect for anyone who prefers serendipity to schedules, and simply wants to wander about and see what they find.

In particular, bookworms and architecture buffs are sure to love visiting the nearby Portico Library, John Rylands Library or the Central Library – or even all three! They’re all memorable locations both inside and out, and can all be reached on foot.
Anyone travelling for business is also perfectly positioned at our affordable hotel in Manchester thanks to a quick, direction connection to the airport by public transport.
