at the other motel one in manchester, i think that it is called the royal exchange, they have a different breakfast menu, i was expecting bacon and sausages, there was just a continental breakfast, i would have preferred the other choices at this hotel to, if i had known the breakfast was just this, i would have stayed at the royal exchange again, But poppy at the desk and the man who made the toffee banana cake were fabulous, also there was no safe in the room, i was expecting to keep my valuables nice and safe in there,
Most comfortable. Welcoming staff. Excellent breakfast.
Breakfast lounge not too comfy because of draft from main entrance door.
Easy check in - friendly morning shift on the desk
Very handy for Piccadilly railway station and the city centre yet pleasantly quiet. Room and communal areas were up to the usual Motel One standard.
Rooms slightly dated but I had quite a large room and it was clean and satisfactory. Iron and ironing board available from reception. Pet peeve is not having a phone in the room to call reception and the TV being too old to stream music through, but still excellent value for money. If you're visiting and need a clean place to sleep and won't be spending endless time in the room, it's excellent value for money and perfectly located.
Great location, nice bar, friendly staff. The rooms are bland. Awful pillows decent bathrooms.
Very good location and clean place comfortable
warm welcome on arrival. room was comfortable and clean, good location
Room 243 was particularly small and inward facing. It was nothing like any of the standard rooms i have stayed at before with Motel One. Certainly not big enough for 2 adults. We actually left a day earlier than planned as it was just ridiculously small. I am aware this brand is about compact rooms, but the room we were allocated was ridiculously small.
Good room, good breakfast, good and warm welcome. Really appreciated it and recommended.
From London to soft, beautiful, and sweet environments in Manchester, I couldn’t resist the opportunity to enjoy every single moment in this magnificent place. From my arrival to checking out the service was fantastic, staff were great fabulous specially Maria at the reception, she is an outstanding member of staff with highly respected service to client, polite approach and very helpful. Regina the lady that keep the place tidy and clean was amazing and very nice 👌🏼. I absolutely loved the breakfast menu. I will definitely come over again. Appreciate my stay and wish the service continues to be amazing 🤩!. Virginia 3/5/2026
Very nice place, good breakfast, and the sweetest staff, so helpful and polite, I give my best recommendations 🙌
Excellent stay at Motel One St Peter's Square Manchester. Great location and friendly staff. I enjoy the clean and well maintained rooms. Comfortable stay and eco touches that I appreciate. It is my home from home, every visit to Manchester. Will keep returning, month on month, year on year! Thank you Motel One!
Unfortunately, they didn’t reply to my email.
Clean. Good shower although shower floor a little slippy. Like the coffee cups provided in the rooms. Please could you offer a non-dairy milk option in the rooms. The fire alarm at 4.15 am was confusing as it stopped quite quickly.
Very well situated. Good hotel with a nice size room. Comfy too. Near the centre of the city, walking distance to bars, restaurants & right next to the tram
Nice reception and bar area Rooms dated and basic for price. Tidy but dusty bedroom - bedside/under tea coffee unit very dusty clearly not been wiped
Lovely hotel, clean, helpful staff, great location and good vfm would highly recommend
We were disappointed with the room and bathroom as it was very small. We have stayed at motel one in Glasgow before and the room was much bigger and nicer. We will not be paying £345 to stay here again for 2 nights.
Very clean and efficient. Nice room and very quiet. Love the easy access and extremely fast checking in.
Really lovely room for money! Clean and well done!
Room was immaculate, bed was comfy. We didn't use the lounge bar but it looked really nice. Staff were very friendly and the blue sweets on the reception desk were lovely.

The staff were so helpful and the room clean and comfortable
After a long journey it’s always refreshing to be met with a cheerful welcome at any hotel . At Motel One they have it in spades and my wife and I were made very welcome following a long day’s travel from the west of Scotland. Our hotel location in the centre of Manchester made getting about on foot very easy with access to local places of interest and restaurants. The hotel staff were always professional and approachable for assistance throughout our stay.
Your front desk people were fantastic. The towels are wonderful. The floor is a little hard, and the sheets are not as nice as the towels. However, we still love staying at your hotels. I would also like it if the Wi-Fi was password protected.
I stay at this Motel One often and particularly like its proximity to Piccadilly train station, the friendliness of its staff and its cleanliness. On this occasion I had no signal on my mobile in the room I was given initially, so had to request a different room. The member of staff I spoke to was very helpful and accommodating in finding me an alternative. The main negative comment I have is that there are not proper cups in the room. For a period there were Motel One special cups, which were a bit better than paper ones, but even those are no longer provided and it's back to paper ones. This is the only I've ever stayed in where proper cups are provided as standard.
I have stayed here 2 times now with my partner and its always very clean, good sized rooms, Nice bathroom and shower. Great price to stay for a short city break too. The downstairs bar and seating area is very relaxing atmosphere too after spending all day walking round nice to sit and enjoy a drink.
Motel One is my go-to venue in Manchester. Comfortable, clean and quiet rooms.
Fatima on reception was brilliant as always (i stay about once a month) and the staff at breakfast very polite. My Room was a bit small, but i was only there for an overnight, so was no big deal. Did not see any Gluten free options at breakfast-is this something you do ? .Also a few months ago there was some cooked breakfast items available but not seen this since, was this just a one off? Breakfast is a wee bit pricey for a continental selection-compared with Premier Inn for example. Great location
Motel One always exceeds expectations. Great staff, great location.
Ideal for business trips - clean, with attentive and helpful staff. Excellent breakfast choices. Room was a little on the cramped side and stuffy, despite aircon. The signal on the TV was poor and the picture kept breaking up.
The room was lovely but the view was disappointing as it was a brick wall one a dirty roof so shut curtains so we didn’t have to look out
Very happy with my stay at Motel One in Manchester. Excellent value for money, very central location, clean and bright bedroom & bathroom. Public areas immaculate. Thank you
I was very impressed with my stay at Motel One. I stayed one night for a work conference. During the night I was taken ill. I called up reception the next morning to request an extension on my check out time as I wasn’t feeling well enough to check out by 12. The lady at the front desk was so kind and accommodating. She immediately checked with house-keeping and confirmed I could stay until 3pm! She even offered hot lemon water and told me to call down any time if I needed anything. I really appreciated the kindness and willingness to help when I was feeling so unwell. 10/10. Thank you for making an otherwise horrible stay a little better.
Fantastic location, close to the shops and train station, yet not noisy, so we were not disturbed in the night at all. Clean and modern aesthetics, friendly staff, we were made to feel welcome as soon as we stepped through the door. Love that check out isn't until 12 so your morning doesn't feel rushed. We were able to safely leave our luggage there after checking out so we could shop without hauling heavy luggage around with us. Will definitely stay here again. The friendly staff really are a credit to the company.
Second visit at this MotelOne and very satisfied with the great service, location and value for the money. Team is helpful, breakfast is delicious and room is efficient. My only remark would be check on the quality of the mattress (mine felt really like it could use a replacement) and check on the water tank of the toilet as it seems to be leaking water (most likely just an adjustment to be done to save on water).
Great hotel, fantastic location, but breakfast was a let-down (ran out of tea-bags and the replenishment was non-existent), very few hot food options, a little chaotic, nowhere to sit (we had to sit in the bar-lounge area).
Very wheelchair friendly and perfect location.
I arrived early to drop off my back pre- check in. Desk staff were available, friendly and helpful. When I came back in the afternoon to check in, again, the member of staff who dealt with me was professional, efficient and very helpful indeed. On this experience, as in all previous stays, I’d give your staff the highest rating - and they set the tone for the whole stay. Room clean, quiet and comfortable. What I like, in sum, about Motel One, is the smooth and efficient way things seem to work.
Good location. Rooms spotless. Very quite hotel
Brilliant stay as always. Great location, great staff. Clean room, well sized. Will always look to stay at one of the Manchester properties. Looking forward staying at the Piccadilly one in June.
Friendly staff easy close to Station
I really liked granting my booking request of a room in a high floor away from the elevator. I couldn't wish for better room location getting the furthest one from the elevator in the top floor. On the room for improvement, considering the hotel class and the value for money, I'd greatly appreciate a mini fridge in the room, access to ironing equipment/room, gym ... etc.
Firstly I must say that Fatima that works in the reception is a huge asset to your hotel & always goes above & beyond to sort any issues out with the room & booking a taxi she is brilliant it any at her job. On a downside the bar used to be one of my favorite places to chill & have a couple of drinks in there but not so much lately as I find the regular Barman quite rude & not interested so now I drink outside of the hotel. I’m a very regular returning guest to your hotel at least 10 times a year over the last 8 years so I love your hotel it’s just the Bar that needs to improve. Russ from Jersey
Great vibe, lovely rooms, nice decor with perfect team members
Everything was perfect for our stay. All the staff were welcoming and helpful. Our room was spotless and had everything we needed. The bar area downstairs was really good too.
Very inviting lobby, lounge area. Great staff - friendly and helpful. Room good value.
Absolutely ideal location for us ,close to the tram & we love the hotel will continue to use when the price is right
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.
