The Spotlight on Motel One Manchester-Royal Exchange

Stylish, Central, and Ready for Your Concert Night

Modern and chic, Motel One Manchester-Royal Exchange puts you right in the heart of Manchester’s vibrant downtown. With sleek décor, comfy rooms featuring 100% Egyptian cotton sheets, and a relaxed vibe, it’s a perfect base for your music-filled trip. Plus, you’re just a short stroll from Deansgate, Bridgewater Hall, and the G-MEX Center.

Why Concert-goers love it

Location is everything — and Motel One nails it. You’ll be just minutes from major venues, meaning you can skip the hassle of late-night transport. After the show, the quiet, well-insulated rooms offer a great night's sleep. With 24-hour reception and a leisurely 12:00 PM checkout, you can enjoy a slow start the morning after.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for an affordable, stylish crash pad
  • Solo travelers checking off a dream concert
  • Couples turning a gig into a romantic getaway
  • Fans who want a relaxed, quieter spot post-show
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who still want modern comforts

Food and Drink Options

The onsite One Lounge serves coffee, wine, cocktails, and light snacks — perfect for a pre- or post-concert bite. While there’s no full restaurant, you’re steps away from walkable eateries offering everything from late-night burgers to upscale dining. Breakfast is available too, ideal for those recovering from a late night.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself keeps things low-key, you’re a short walk to some of Manchester’s best bars, clubs, and live music venues. From cocktail lounges to indie pubs, there’s something nearby for every vibe.

What People Say

Guests rave about the spotless rooms, friendly staff, and unbeatable location. Many mention how quiet the rooms are despite being so central — a huge plus after a loud night out. The stylish design and great value for money are also frequent highlights.

Areas for Improvement

There’s no onsite gym or big restaurant, and rooms are cozy rather than spacious — but honestly, who needs space when you’re out enjoying Manchester’s music scene?

The Bottom Line

If you want a stylish, affordable base right near Manchester’s top concert venues, Motel One Manchester-Royal Exchange is a fantastic pick.

Overall a great stay.. would...

Liked: The location was superb! 2 minute walk from shops and bars. Room was ideal for us!
Disliked: Access to parking and price of parking. We had to ring twice to find out where to park as the first time we were told to look ourselves because she didn’t know where we could park other than the basement which cost £25 for less than 24 hours. And then once you’re passed the basement parking (which isn’t labelled) it’s a 15 minute drive back to the hotel
