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
Great stay good room great staff!
In the main a great stay, but one thing does detract from a perfect score. As a fairly regular visitor, I notice the shower gel is rarely full on my arrival, and that it typically runs out before the end of my stay. Only minor, but worthwhile mentioning because I notice it. I have reported it on previous stays, and nothing has changed.
Checkin was efficient and quick. I was surprised that I hadn’t to complete an evacuation questionnaire as I am in a wheelchair. However I was surprised to have only one bottle of water for two people over three nights. Also, the disabled room I had was too small, I might have needed to go round the bed in my wheelchair.
Very friendly helpful and efficient staff warm and welcoming . Accommodated an early check in . Comfortable clean bedroom good facilities quiet good nights sleep . Tasty breakfast wide choice Thank you
Great hotel. Friendly staff with a lovely welcome. Room was just what we needed for an overnight stay. Very quiet for the middle of Manchester. Would definitely use this hotel again
Such a lovely hotel and so central. Room was very clean and had everything we needed. Would definitely stay there again.
Fantastic service and facillities - I will be looking for other Motel One hotels in other cities now. Room was really clean and well organised. Toiletries were nice, towels were crispy and big enough. Check in and out was seamless. Bar area was stylish, spacious and inviting.
Always consistent. Staff friendly and rooms are clean and have everything needed. Location is great and breakfast is good.
First time staying here and everything was great. Very friendly welcome from reception and breakfast was fab. Lovely clean room with everything you needed.
Good welcome from your cheery reception staff who were willing to let us check in early. Room on 7th floor was comfortable with good king size bed and adequate hanging space. Decent shower in good sized well organise en suite.very quiet room. Buffet breakfast in comfortable lounge with cereals, fresh fruit, seeds, nuts, choice of breads. Hot and cold drinks. Staff worked efficiently and quietly to keep stocks available etc.
Everything was perfect. Lovely room, super central & brilliant, friendly and attentive reception staff
It was very clean, wonderful breakfast, very efficient staff, I couldn’t find fault with it
Excellent stay, really helpful reception team, they allowed us to book bags in ahead of check in (we were early into Manchester) and then accommodated an early check in as well ie as soon as the room was available. this allowed us to get rid of baggage and enjoy an afternoon and evening in Manchester. Facilities are also excellent including the bar area, rooms large and well equipped and everything was clean and tidy. the hotel is also conveniently located for city centre Manchester. First class hotel :-)
I would prefer an area suitable for eating breakfast rather than sitting in a low chair more suitable for a lounge/bar area. The area where the breakfast amenities were served was 'open' for people to learn over very unhygienic! People were also queueing at different areas e.g. tea, coffee which caused a 'bottle neck' in the area where the food was been served.
