ABode Hotel, Manchester
Expert reviews
“The original fittings at this converted textile factory have been combined successfully with 61 bedrooms divided into four categories of ever-increasing luxury: Comfortable, Desirable, Enviable and Fabulous on Fifth, the latter being five seriously swanky top-floor suites.”
“ABode Manchester, set in a striking 19th-century former textile warehouse, is just a two-minute walk from Piccadilly railway station. Original features such as parquet flooring and metal columns combine with quirky décor to create a stylish retreat, while a decent food and drink offering makes staying in an option.”

All you need to know
Comprising 61 rooms, ABode Manchester boasts stylish accommodations in a Victorian warehouse building. While the exterior of this structure looks historic and vintage, the interior has been refurbished with chic and contemporary design while still maintaining a few of the old-timey elements. You will notice intricate craftsmanship, a vintage staircase, and grandiose chandeliers throughout the building.
Choose from three basic rooms: Comfortable, Desirable, and Enviable. All of these rooms come with beautiful design elements, like crown molding, high ceilings, wood floors, and lovely window treatments. Each bathroom features colorful and unique tiling, along with standing glass showers. Enjoy walk-in showers, luxury bedding, and climate control, but upgrade to the Enviable room for a separate living area.
This property also has higher-tier rooms that feel like mini-apartments, all individually designed to create one-of-a-kind experiences. Guests can enjoy extra room and charming quirks, like spiral staircases and skylights, in these upgraded spaces.
You can have breakfast for an additional fee at Brasserie Abode, with menu items ranging from fresh pastries to a full English breakfast. Order in-room cocktails from the bar menu for a fun night indoors.
Right across from Piccadilly Station, and only a few minutes’ walk to the Northern Quarter, ABode Manchester offers an incredibly central location, perfect for sightseeing and exploring.

Great stay! Comfortable, convenient and great staff!
The room was spacious, hotel was close to Piccadilly station and the centre of town. Breakfast was good and space were very helpful! Room was lovely and warm, bed was very comfy!

Breakfast was grand. Had a seat near the window watching the drones going to work
Being told the kitchen open till 8.30 and being told at 7.15 that the chef had gone home as it was quiet.

Thoroughly enjoyed the hotel and the location. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly.
Omar went out of his way to find a cooler room for me. His efforts were much appreciated.
The elevator was out of service. Apparently this is not unusual.

Great location, reasonably priced and the food was nice,would recommend.
Location excellent, 5 min walk from Piccadilly train station. Large room,clean. Cooked Breakfast was very tasty. On chap on reception was very pleasant and personable.made us feel welcome.
The interior in general was a bit tired in places but that’s what we expected by choosing an older style building. The room windows sound proofing was not great, but again we were in the city centre location so expected some noise.
13 April 2026
Very good
The location is excellent, friendly staff and great value for money. We really enjoyed the breakfast and the discounted parking
Size of the room could have been slightly bigger
12 April 2026
Bit tired but good location for exploring on foot.
Close to Piccadilly railway station and free buses which made getting around the city easy
Appliances a bit worn and needing patience to use. TV picture weirdly sized so that the top was cut off and saw talking mouths rather than full face. Disconcerting watching the news as well as other programmes. Lift was out for maintenance for a full day.

Beautiful hotel, good value for Manchester City centre
Beautiful building with period features, spacious room with high ceilings, big windows and tasteful decor, good selection of clipper teas. Pleasant receptionist. Great central location
The lift wasn’t working. The full English breakfast was quite overcooked and I felt very sorry for the waiter who was lovely but seemed to be on his own. Hire more restaurant staff! A desk lamp in the room would’ve been helpful.

Good Value Room, Avoid Restaurant Though
Clean, comfy, lovely spacious bathroom.
A little fridge within the room would make this perfect. Slight hiccup when I arrived, no hot water - was fixed a few hours later. The cafe/restaurant downstairs was not great, waited to be seated at sign for 20 mins - no staff came out, sat myself, waited another 20 mins. Ask what I wanted, said drink and made to go up and order at the bar - whilst he served everyone else at table. Service left a little to be desired there. Couldn’t fault the staff at front desk.
6 April 2026
Pleasant
The bed and the size of the room. The location was perfect. Facilities in the room were an added bonus.
We wasn't told of the parking options in advance therefore paid £27 for parking overnight at a nearby multi storey. The noise from the road even with double glazing.

Excellent choice , large stylish room, delicious breakfast
Modern but with old world charm
Hotel is great value for money

Would definitely stay again, brilliant value for money
A very high standard hotel for such a good price. The breakfast was very good.
The room did get a bit stuffy and the radiator did not turn off, it seemed to be faulty.

Great stay, will return
Fantastic position, building and decor
There was no water on arrival at 3 pm but when we returned later it had been sorted
28 March 2026
Ideal for for short stay in Piccadilly Manchester
Great location, nice impression as you enter, most staff are friendly and room has lots of space and high ceilings. Good bathroom and room interior, plenty of refreshments. Comfy pillows. Cocktails were good. Liked interior of bar and would be nice to have information about what the building was in it's previous life. Emily was a friendly staff member at breakfast. It looks a lot better to the photo used on booking.com. Would stay again.
Lift terribly slow. No room signs to guide customers where to go. Place seems a bit of maze if you get disoriented. It wasn't a peaceful night, whether it was internal heating system alongside the outside noise, i will probably ask for the quiet side. You need your spinach to draw the massive curtains! Was quite warm in room, no way to control heating or get some cool air through. The internal large window did open and hoped the draft would come through. Perhaps wouldn't want to stay here in summer. The breakfast was ok but not amazing and doesn't match the cost, i would probably find a spoons or a cafe nearby. I asked for no mushroom but was the plate. No butter with bread, had to ask for that as well as sauce, staff not forthcoming to ask if you want anything else. The bathroom handle fell off, fortunately had already used bathroom. Would like a small guide with details about what is nearby and also menus for bar in the room as you would expect etc. Some wear and tear and not much attention to lower level of skirting areas in room, no room down either side of bed so if you're a larger person perhaps avoid 102. Plenty of plug sockets, but only one by bedside and was tricky to reach.
