Good overall- low water pressure in shower
Lobby looks good, room is basic. No view, no phone to call reception, had to carry up iron from downstairs. Wasn't able to get any mobile data reception from my room
Value for money is a certainty! Clean, comfortable and staff so friendly.
Hotel is lovely, walking in not what expected with the prices being cheaper than many others.Rooms are a good just not enough space to get ready to put things away or hand up clothes. It’s self is lovely but could do with more places to get ready.Would definitely recommend for a short over night stay or short journey.
Great location, fab breakfast. Hotel very clean throughout. Would definitely recommend staying here
Perfect location, fast and easy check in, clean and tidy room, extremely comfy bed, later check out than most places. Well worth it, would stay again
All good
Fantastic position and really fantastic staff , clean and great service . The most is that you can reserve and cancell before 6 p.m .
Comfortable & clean room with good amenities.
would have been nice to have water in the room as we arrived. no bin liners
Thermostat in the room didn't work but otherwise happy with my stay. Room was spacious and clean. Great soundproofing, couldn't hear a thing outside despite being in the busy centre. Great staff service and hotel bar.
Motel 1 is perfect for a short stay. Great location with its own welcoming bar area. The rooms are small but clean and comfortable. Our one night week day stay was great value.
I have stayed here a few times because it is great value for money; clean and comfortable room, central location, friendly staff. This time however, my stay was slightly marred by a few small things. I paid £18 more than my previous stay 2 weeks earlier (weekday rather than a Sunday) but my room was a lot smaller(cramped even) with an unnecessary table blocking a full length mirror. The narrow mirror itself was bizarrely positioned so close to the edge of the wall that it meant my arm had little room to manoeuvre when drying my hair as the door was in my way. The end of the bed was so near to the wall that a large person would struggle to get around it. There was only one hangar for my clothes. Finally, an issue with my details the following morning meant I waited almost 10 mins for my invoice to be printed. If this had been my first stay, I would probably not stay again. However, having stayed 4 or 5 times at this hotel, I know this latest experience is unusual. The staff are friendly and helpful (I was given a quiet room on request), bathrooms and rooms immaculately clean and beds very comfortable. The lounge is particularly well decorated and furnished in a relaxed and cosy style. I don't eat breakfast so am unable to comment on this aspect.
Lovely entrance, friendly staff on reception, great decor, comfy room.
Overall the stay was really enjoyable, good rooms, comfortable beds, friendly staff and great breakfast Speed of checking in was an issue when we arrived, one person serving and a queue going out the door, but once two other ladies jumped on it didn’t take long to clear
Great price value, cosy bar and friendly reception. Definitely staying again.
Great people, great location, great value.
Very nice location and convenient. Our room was quiet. We’ll go back next trip.
Great staff interaction, everyone was lovely, including tech support for our meeting room. Nothing was too much trouble for all the staff. Great bedrooms and breakfast, Special shout out to Angie for her fantastic communication and interaction.
Very welcoming. Hotel is immaculate and rooms are cosy
I stay at the same Motel One in Manchester quite frequently and used to get a room upgrade because I'm a member. The last three times, I have not been, and this is disappointing. I've also had to ask for the bottle of water.
Our third time at this very central hotel. Clean modern superior room and decent breakfast. Very attentive and professional staff. Hotel cannot be in a better location. Just one very minor issue as we had extended (against payment) our check out time by an additional two hours and reception inadvertently forgot to update our key cards and to inform cleaning staff (who opened our door when we were still in the room). Would definitely stay at this hotel again when visiting Manchester
The stay was brilliant and excellent value for money. These are just a couple of niggles for improvement. I had to ask for the free water for my room as part of being a member. Water cups in the bathroom were kept on a shelf above the toilet - this isn't very hygienic and I'd suggest they are moved to the sink. I didn't use them because they were kept there.
I always find Motel One excellent value for money for the rooms and service received
Wonderful Staff.Ryan was so helpful.Marisa was too.L9vely breakfast.Lovely room.Will be back.
The hotel room was definitely good as well as the bathroom. We had some issue with the heating and the room resulted being a bit too cold. After the 1st night the room was not made up. All the rest was ok.
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.
Staff were lovely. Rooms were basic but good. Clean and tidy. Central spot for the hotel - ideal to get to most places easily.
Good but should improve in some basic things like drinking water in the room, glass cup for wind or tea, and also I think breakfast should be added to our benefits
All good. Couldn't fault it
Very nice hotel. Everywhere was spotless. Good hotel bar. Don't do food but encourage guests to have takeaway food delivered and eat in bar area even providing plates /cutlery Great price/location
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
Everything is great about hotel with the exception of the breakfast . Hot options would be most welcome . Coffee could be improved , the generic machines are not very good and i bring my own coffee bags
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.
Third or fourth time I’ve stayed there. Always a great experience. Staff really kind and helpful.
I am a regular in Manchester Royal Exchange and Glasgow central Motel One hotels. I highly recommend both hotels. Manchester Royal is like my second home the past year or so. My work makes me be here in Manchester Royal Exchange hotel up to 4/5 days a week sometimes even longer. It's extremely clean, quiet and very central for all shops, restaurants and train stations. The staff are extremely lovely. They are mainly the reason I come back again and again. Especially Fatima (who I adore), Michael, Matthew, Mario and Elettra. The night staff Mo and Nile are great guys (quite funny guys), The manager Maguy The best coffee makers are Fatima and lovely Mario. Not saying other staff aren't. I just don't know the other staff as well. I can't say one negative thing about the hotel or any of the staff they currently have tbh. After this completely honest review I am expecting to be invited on Christmas night out this year otherwise my opinion will change. 😁
Great location, friendly and helpful staff, very good breakfast. Minor issue the limited space in the room
Very comfy bed
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.
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
Good and efficient staff always
Mostly fine but the TV didn't work (kinda ok, not really a biggie) but the shower was cold which is a real basic thing. When reported on check out, we weren't offered a partial refund which I'd assume is just good business for customer satisfaction.
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.
The bar staff have always been helpful and happy to help. The receptionists are always with a smile and understanding
Switch on. beOne.

Capital of culture and football

Budget Design Hotels in Manchester – your Motel One
The city once plagued by the darker side of industrialisation is now a vibrant place to live and a popular destination for short stays, city breaks and weekend trips. Tour this former stronghold of the Industrial Revolution and you can’t help noticing the canals crossing the city. Used for transporting goods while industry was still booming, now the old warehouses along their banks are a distinctive element of the city’s image. Spacious loft apartments, chic bars and modern flats are now housed in these towering brick edifices, symbolising Manchester’s rebirth in modern times.
The Lowry cultural centre is also on the waterside at the Salford Quays docklands development. This complex, comprising two theatres, several galleries, cafés and restaurants, is built on what was formerly a reloading point for the cotton industry. Cross over the Manchester Ship Canal to reach the Imperial War Museum North, conceived to resemble a shattered globe shape, symbolising the effects of war.
Old Trafford, the Manchester Art Gallery and the Northern Quarter
Football’s coming home! Football fans are of course entirely spoilt in Manchester, and the Old Trafford stadium, home of Manchester United, is also a prime example of effective stadium architecture. Take a two-hour guided tour around these hallowed grounds to take your seat on the reserve bench, view the club’s trophies in its museum, and soak up the unparalleled atmosphere of the player tunnel itself. The National Football Museum to the north of the centre is another must-see for fans of the beautiful game, with free entry and exhibits including a replica of the sought-after Jules Rimet trophy, used for years as the World Cup trophy, and a jersey of Maradona’s from 1986.
If you prefer art to football, you’ll find what you’re looking for at Manchester Art Gallery on Mosley Street not far from our Design Hotel. It houses a significant collection of European art, focussing on works by UK artists.
The centre’s Northern Quarter right by the Motel One Manchester-Piccadilly is well worth a visit, home to trendy designer boutiques, pubs, clubs and jazz venues. It’s emblematic of the modern city, and attracts bands and fans from around the world. A warm Northern welcome awaits in Manchester.
