Motel One Manchester-St. Peter's Square

10/10 Excellent

"Quick and easy check in very friendly staff team station on doorstep will visit again"

ibis budget Manchester Airport

2/10 Terrible

"On arrival the first impression the hotel looks nice and check in went fine. What a shock we got when entering the room. The room was a twin room but more like a single room. The beds were pushed together like something you would get in a cheap Spanish room. The floor was filthy and the walls the same. After rearranging the beds with a struggle so we could have a bit of space we found the mattresses both covers in stains.as we were only there two nights we just got on with it. There is one thing for sure I will not be returning."

a&o Manchester City Centre

4/10 Poor

"The room was extremely small, and the bathroom was not clean at all. The bed and sheets were dirty, and the floor was clearly not cleaned properly. There were no basic amenities in the room not even simple hotel slippers, tissues, or a small bottle of water. I was very disappointed with my stay and would not recommend this hotel to anyone, even for one night."
