Really fantastic stay - 5/10 min walk from Oxford Street and Piccadily. Decor of the bar / hotel / room was beautiful. Nice to have a little kitchen with a kettle etc. Really lovely staff - thank you for the breakfast recommendations! Great price too for a two night stay.

Manchester family trip
We loved our time at Whitworth Locke. The location was very convenient but outside of the more bustling parts of the city. We stayed with our three young sons and having the option to stay in a two bedroom unit was fantastic! The amenities were great and the staff was very helpful.

A wonderful stay, with a few squeaky floors.
I thought the place was amazing, much more spacious that I had imagined and the split level flooring for the kitchenette/living space was so nice! I’ll admit the shower was probably the best part though! The only fault I could give would be the squeaky flooring, which made getting up and going to the toilet during the night almost impossible…
The room was clean. The location is excellent. It 5mins walk from chinatown and a lot of amazing food over there. Right downstair is a starbucks and a supermarket. I will come back here next time in manchester
This is great location in Manchester, walkable from Manchester Piccadilly. Staff couldn't have been more pleasant and welcoming. Spacious and comfortable rooms, with good facilities (tea/coffee, washing machine, iron, hairdryer, etc.)
Kirian at front desk/check-in was amazing. I had been awake, traveling for 32 hours, and was horribly rude and childish when told our room wouldnt be ready until 1730. He remained professional and courteous despite my ridiculous entitled behavior.
Very nice hotel with excellent staff who couldn’t do enough for us and made our stay perfect, recommend to anyone wanting a nice hotel to stay in the city to stay here, will be boiling again
