Wonderful Staff.Ryan was so helpful.Marisa was too.L9vely breakfast.Lovely room.Will be back.
Excellent staff, comfortable room, bar that is open late, all at a really affordable rate.
Brilliant value for money
Overall I had a great experience, the staff were incredibly helpful and friendly! The only downside is that the toilets in the lounge area are locked with key cards, this meant that after checking out we were unable to use this bathroom even after paying for drinks.
Very pleaseantly surprised by the whole atmosphere and friendly staff. Impressed with cleaniness and modern feeling. Only critics for my short stay would be that there was no hand soap available in the washroom, and the pillows are too soft in my honest opinion. Lastly I did have to ask regarding my free bottle of water rather than being reminded/given it during my check-in.
always good, reliable, clean and comfortable room and nice communal facilities
Fantastic hotel spotless clean fantastic service only one bad point was the paper cups in the room to drink coffee out of , would have expected something a little better
Easy and quick check in. Very friendly staff. Clean, comfortable and well equipped double room. Easy to control air conditioning, we would have liked to be able to open the window more than a tiny crack however I understand due to the height of the room 6th floor why this is not possible.
Really lovely staff and really nice and clean room. Breakfast was good but no hot chocolate in the machine so I just got hot milk instead lol ahah and it ran out of milk a couple times so coffee options were limited too. Really nice to check out at 3pm. Water pressure in shower wasn’t the best but that was no bother. Great location. Would definitely stay again.
The bar staff have always been helpful and happy to help. The receptionists are always with a smile and understanding
I’m writing to formally complain about what was an entirely unacceptable experience from arrival through to check-in. I had booked two rooms for two travellers via email with Yana. I was clear that we would both be arriving late, and I provided card details through your payment link to cover the late arrival. I reasonably assumed this secured both rooms. On arrival, my colleague’s room had been cancelled. After some delay, another room was found and she was checked in, but the situation was stressful and completely avoidable given the prior correspondence. I was then unable to check in myself. After waiting around 10 minutes, another room was allocated and the number written on the key card. When I went to the room, the key did not work. I returned to reception and was told the card had been programmed correctly, and was escorted back to the room — only for the receptionist to then realise he had written the room number incorrectly. We then went to what was said to be the correct room. On opening the door, we found the room clearly occupied, with clothes on the bed and floor. We left immediately. This was extremely embarrassing and a serious failure in basic room control. At that point, I was offered a drink at the bar while another room was found. Eventually, an unoccupied room (a slight upgrade) was allocated. However, the disruption continued. Around five minutes later, the receptionist knocked on my door again, concerned that I had three rooms reserved — clearly further confusion arising from the original booking, despite me having confirmed the details in advance. In total, it took close to an hour from arrival before I was finally able to close my door and settle. This was not a minor inconvenience — it was a complete breakdown in your booking and front desk processes, from the initial cancellation through to room allocation and system control. The experience was stressful, disorganised, and unacceptable. I would like a clear explanation of how this situation arose, and what you intend to do to address it.
Great position in the city, all staff I encountered were incredibly friendly, helpful and happy to help. The room was lovely, very clean, plenty of space for luggage and cloths and the bathroom was very clean, although small very well presented. The shower head was a little close to the wall so difficult to get fully under but a small issue overall.
Yet another amazing stay. Staff are attentive and helpful as always, and the rooms are spotless as always.
Very friendly staff, clean and quiet room, great location. We’ll be back
Great stay as usual. Friendly staff, the young lady on Breakfast Saturday morning in particular was extremely bright and bubbly, friendly and attentive, making for a good start to the day. The inly slight issue I had was that the water pressure in the shower (Room 844) was quite low and did not get very hot at all. Otherwise, the usual great Motel One stay.
Excellent quality of amenities. Very comfortable and up to date interiors. Fab location. Would highly recommend
Straightforward check-in with friendly and engaging staff on the front desk. Great value, clean rooms. Excellent, comfy beds. Cool, relaxing bar area, great for an evening night cap.
Rooms are small but functional. Very good breakfast, good bar service throughout the day and in the evening, perfect room service. Room prices are moderate, the hotel is perfectly located next to the big metrolink station.
Perfectly located and excellent room. Only comment is that we'd have preferred proper tables and chairs for breakfast rather that the bar seats which were made for lounging not eating.
Great hotel and location. Would prefer proper cup in room rather than single use paper cups
Does evertyhing ok, but nothing felt special.
Fine. Took some time to check in. Did not opt for breakfast as seemed expensive for what it was. Shower lukewarm even on highest setting. But bed comfy enough and room clean.
It is a warm and welcoming hotel with very friendly and helpful staff. The guy working in the bar was particularly friendly and hospitable.
Very good overall, but no instructions given on check-in about breakfast arrangements.
Great service
Great service, tidy and comfortable room, good shower pressure and size.
Over-priced for standards provided. Very disappointing. From tardy bar staff, to paper cups and insufficient loo roll and tepid shower in room. Standards of a travel lodge with double the price.
A friendly, clean and well located hotel close to Manchester centre. The bed was comfortable and it was nice and quiet but the room was a bit tight with paper cups for drinks and our shower was only luke warm which we reported in the morning.
Great welcome, friendly service, comfortable room, comfy bed, and nice space downstairs to hang out and eat/drink. Good location.
Great central hotel. Excellent value for money
Check in was nice and easy after doing it online. Was staying overnight for an event at the Albert Hall which they said was a short walk away and safe which felt great as a solo travelling woman.
The best value for money in Manchester! Hotel is super clean, staff is very friendly and helpful!
Nice contemporary hotel, friendly staff. Clean comfortable rooms and spacious public area. Great location.
The staff were amazing, the rooms were beautifully clean and immaculate, would definitely stay again
Clean and comfortable with all the basics covered. Nice decor. Excellent value for money.
Excellent hotel - prime location!
Great hotel in a good location for both the metro, city centre & beyond. Clean rooms, good facilities & friendly staff.
Great place to stay. Clean and cosy!
Really nice hotel, has everything you need. Two things for the room that I would have liked: 1) decaf tea bags 2) a spoon to stir your tea with
I had a great stay here! The location was perfect — just a short walking distance to the city centre, metros, buses, and everything I needed. The room was big, clean, and very comfortable. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout my stay. I would definitely recommend this place and would happily come back!
Good room, Good service, Good bar, Slightly disappointing breakfast
Comfortable, quiet motel with good facilities in a nice location. My only reason for giving not giving it 10/10 is that I'd have preferred slightly wider selection of cereals at breakfast.
All the staff are very friendly and knowledgeable, and will assist with anything you might need. Rooms are clean, quiet and comfortable. This is a great place to stay, convenient for theatres, restaurants and the tram stop is just outside for exploring further afield. We have stayed many times now for theatre trips.
Nice hotel in a great location. Have used before and would stay there again but wouldn't have breakfast there as it was a bit disappointing in terms of choice and the lounge was a bit too dark for me
Staff were polite and helpful, room was perfect, great location too
Friendly service, comfortable room and great location. Very happy and would stay with you again. Only issue we had while there was that we struggled to adjust the temperature in the room but reception sorted this for us immediately :-).
Great location, welcoming bar and good breakfast choices …staff were great too. Room was very small for 2 people with very limited storage but it was quiet and we slept well
The hotel is really well located. The only reason I’ve scored 8 is because it’s really noisy during the night and I found it hard to sleep. There’s a lot of street noise
Great location. Helpful staff. Nice amenities
I’ve stayed in a few Motel One hotels, and this is my least favourite. The location is brilliant for the tram network and shops, however, it’s very dated. The shower was luke warm and bedroom carpet looked dirty. I’d stay at the Piccadilly one again next time.
