Stay was good up to breakfast when there was confusion about if my breakfast was included. The member of staff came to my table 3 times to query the situation. In the end I had to produce my company reservation proof for him to leave me to my breakfast. It would have been far easier if he had said please call in at reception as there seems to be some confusion. Spoilt not only the breakfast but the overall stay.
It was a nice experience , the staffs were so helpful and nice. The room was perfect , it was a 💯.
Wonderful staff make it feel like a home from home - very welcoming and friendly, with special mention of the front desk team - Maria, Chloe, Mila, Dmba, Felicitas, Thada & Pablo. Annie and her housekeeping team do a great job of keeping the rooms clean to such a consistently high standard. Great value and flexibility of cancelling when plans change is a big factor in choosing to return frequently. Providing free quality newspapers (FT & NYT) is a real bonus.
Yet another excellent stay. Never disappoints and I look forward to returning in the future.
Staff were friendly and helpful. The communal space was very inviting and atmospheric. Great breakfast. The room was clean and comfortable. Had very noisy neighbours on the first night, but great sleep in comfy bed the second night.
The pillows were either too hard or to soft. I hardly slept the first night. But the hotel is lovely
Stayed here before and came back as it's a great location, reasonably priced, stylish, comfortable and a nice bar. Didn't book breakfast this time as had it on a previous visit and cubs l found it disappointing for what it was. But with check out not until midday, I'm very happy to enjoy a lie in then pop round the corner to Weatherspoons for an all day breakfast!
Brilliant stay, can not fault. Staff very friendly. Rooms clean, small but perfect. Bar and lounge area very relaxing and tastfully decorated. Hotel location ideal, right beside a tram stop. Will visit again.
Motel 1 is a pleasant, reasonably priced, city location with friendly staff. The rooms were modern and clean. Areas for improvement would be some some arrangement with one of the local parking garages and more clarity around when you book online and do not provide a credit card guarantee that the room may be cancelled by 6:00 p.m. if you had not checked in by then.
City centre ,price range, friendly staff clean comfortable, grat bed pillows. One of the best value for money places I've ever stayed at. Can't say anything about breakfast
The room was smaller than expected for a kingsize, however it wasn’t an issue as the hotel itself was in a perfect location for us. The room was clean, it has sockets near the mirrors for getting ready, and we were provided with plenty of towels. The cleaners were very polite and friendly! I will definitely be staying again
Great location, room spot on and a fantastic bar area. The ideal venue for a 1 or 2 night city break
Love Motel One, our go to place in Manchester. Staff really friendly and helpful. Ticks all the boxes for a mid range hotel. Having tried a number of their locations in Europe they don’t disappoint and are of the same standard
Good customer service. Nice ambience. Comfortable room. Paper cups for tea and coffee not very welcoming. Breakfast good but tables needed clearing.
Lovely hotel, central location, nice bar, clean room with comfortable bed an friendly staff
Excellent location right in the heart of the city. Bed was incredibly comfortable and slept great. Room was well soundproofed nothing heard from inside or out. Room had everything we needed. The only thing to improve would be for proper mugs and glasses in the rooms as opposed to the paper cups.
a great visit with attentive and friendly staff but disappointed with paper cups for tea and coffee in the bedrooms
Comfortable clean room…great location
Great staff, clean room superb location
Beautiful room, great lounge space. Clean, modern and a great price.
After staying at the property with family we found a place where for a reasonable city centre price a quality hotel which we will use again. The bedrooms were functional and the bed extremely comfortable. The bathroom was clean and the shower area made you want to use it.All in all had a super night's sleep and would recommend the facility to anyone who needs a place to stay whilst in Manchester.
Room clean and linen clean. Problems sorted very quickly. Although we still couldn't get the heating how we like it. Could do with detailed instructions for non tech savvy people.
This was my first experience staying with you & I couldn't fault it. I will certainly stay here again & have no hesitation in highly recommending it Thank you
Excellent hotel location, good facilities, friendly staff
Excellent location, very friendly.helpful staff, attention to detail, relaxing, clean, nicely decorated room, very comfortable bed and lots of choice at breakfast.
Friendly staff comfy beds and bar until 2 am, so usefull if you have gone to a show. Very clean hotel and bedroom
The quality of service is very good, the rooms are clean and all expected amenities are to hand. What is poor, unfortunately, is that the rooms are claustrophobic with very little desk space to work or stretch arms out in. Particularly poor is the breakfast as it is only a bare minimum continental with cheap provisions (horrible coffee) in a dark room with only a handful of proper tables and chairs to sit up at. Please look at Travelodge to see how a far better breakfast experience can be done despite being economy. Though the room bathrooms are modern, clean, bright and provide everything one needs - they are *cold*.
Lovely stay, nice room, lovely bar area, breakfast looked great. Only issue I had was that I was given conflicting information about check out time. Otherwise great.
Lovely warm welcome from Maria and T at reception…couldn’t have been more friendly and helpful… room was clean and nicely decorated, bed very comfortable and location excellent. All in all I would highly recommend this hotel.
From the welcome at reception to the room, all was great. We enjoyed the bar too - and the prices there were reasonable.
Our first time in this Motel One and good to report that it is typical of the brand. Very nice and efficient staff on reception. Perfect check in experience. The hotel looks great. A completely usual Motel One room. That's a compliment. So far a perfect 10. Visited the bar around 23.00 after a busy evening and the two points were deducted. Almost no beer left! No German bier at all! Had to drink UK brewed Heineken. The bar keeper explained that there had been a football match the day before and they hadn't yet restocked. Wow. That must have been a surprise to everyone, a football match in Manchester? Please try harder. Manchester is a city full of hotels.
Better this time, although I would have hoped for a room upgrade being my second stay with the hotel.
A large water leak happened from the washroom into the bedroom. The leak seemed to have come under the wall between the bed and the bathroom. So behind the sink maybe, but the floor inside the bedroom aside my bed was soaking wet and a large puddle was visible.
Nonsense price/quality performance. Amazing experience. In the center of Manchester, with so warming and helpful people, a hotel that feels more expensive than what you paid. Very happy, I will repeat and I will search for in other cities!
Lovely hotel and perfect location
Great welcome at the reception, room spotless and bar area really lovely. Thankyou.
Comfortable beds and friendly staff.
Clean bedrooms however wasn’t keen on the paper cups for hot drinks but can always bring my own mug in the future. Bed was super comfy and hotel is located in a good area. This was my second visit and I will be back again when I’m next in Manchester.
Cosy, comfy and clean room. The staff were all so lovely and welcoming. The price is very good. The location is perfect for the town centre and the AO arena. Situated next to St Peters Square and the frequency of the trams made it even better.
Was in prime location for the theatre would stay again
This is the second time i have stayed here and the room has been absolutely freezing and the AC is very slow to heat up. Also, neither my kettle or TV worked in the morning!
Fantastic location, and a very warm welcome. The obly thing I can deduct one point for is the room was quite small. But it was very well designed, clean and comfortable. Would happily stay again
Spacious room, clean, modern, beautiful decor and friendly/approachable staff
Room clean and comfortable, as expected. Online check-in pointless as had to check-in at desk anyway. App check-in also incredibly tedious. A very restricted selection of food at breakfast for plant based diets and so hard to justify the cost.
The central location makes it a perfect place to stay in central Manchester with excellent transport options. Motel One St Peters Square is very comfortable, extremely quiet and with efficient and friendly staff. The beds are super too. I always stay here and it is always a lovely experience.
Arrived early to drop bags and lady on the front desk was very helpful After checking in properly later, I found that I had been charged an extra £59. I spoke to a man at the desk who was unsure what had happened (and he spoke to one of the ladies on the desk for her advice who was also unsure) but was keen to get it resolved. They spoke to the lady who had checked me, who quickly was quite defensive and insisted that it was just the payment from the original booking coming out, even though I was able to show that it was a different amount and completely separate transaction to my initial booking, and also took place prior to me even checking in that day. The gentleman and other lady weren’t able to fully determine the cause but said they would speak to reservations as they believed it was related to that in some way and said it would be 5-7 days to be refunded, which I understand is out of their control and was glad that they were able to find a solution (and the money was returned less than 24hrs after being taken in any case) When I checked in it was just to put luggage in my room before going out again for the evening. When I returned I found that there was only one bin in the room which was in the bathroom, rather than having one in the bathroom and one near the tea/coffee facilities in the room, which would be useful. I also found that the toilet brush had been left in the toilet, whilst this was easily resolved, it is something housekeeping staff should have noticed. The room in general was excellent, clean and very comfy bed with plenty of sockets. Having stayed at this hotel before on multiple occasions, the experience was not up to the same standards as previous, however the majority of staff I interacted with were fantastic.
Always amazing from start to finish. I love the bar, it's so cosy and the best beds ever....I was gutted it was only for a night, I could have easily stayed a week lol
Really enjoyed our stay and would definitely use this hotel again as location so good and facilities all that you need. USB port in the room would be very useful and the extractor fan in the bathroom didn’t work very well but very minor things really and absolutely no complaints. Will look forward to using the chain again and have already recommended to others.
Fantastic room, very comfy bed!
I always stay here when I can. I think the room door lock wasn’t working and reported it on leaving. I like to take breakfast here though find it a bit expensive. Otherwise, this would be the hotel of choice when in Manchester.
