The room was incredible, I could have happily lived in there! The quality of decor, staff, bedding and bathroom was fantastic.

The one thing that let it down was the noise. my room was right next to the laundry and it was literally the loudest spin cycle. The for some reason someone started to clean the hall hoovering at 9:15pm which was so loud I couldn’t hear the TV…. it’s an old building so I know it’s tricky to soundproof but this was definitely louder than any other hotel I’ve stayed in. I mentioned it to the staff on reception a couple of times (which is quite unlike me!)

I’ve stayed multiple times and it’s comfy and quirky in an excellent part of town to walk, uber anywhere or use public transport. There’s a Tesco Express and a Starbucks opposite if you need to buy breakfast.

It would have been 10 out of 10 if there was a cleaner automatically everyday. Also, there could be instructions on how to use the dishwasher and washing machine. Otherwise a very nice room. The new restaurant is very poor for the price. Better to go to The Ivy or elsewhere for the price. The cafe average. The bar is excellent. And nice sitting space to do a bit of work and make phone calls.

Great location right opposite canal street so walking distance to the arndale, northern quarter and even a train station. Beautiful room and they even left me a bottle of wine for my birthday which was a great touch! Great being able to WhatsApp the front desk too and the foundation coffee house downstairs is great to grab a beverage post gym!

Bed topper seemed to store heat which made it a little hot to sleep but this is more of a preference thing I guess. Also be careful of the firedoors as the last few inches closes super quick which I learned the hard way😭

Practically perfect in every way! This hotel exceeded my expectations in every way! From the location, to the friendliness of the staff, the quality of everything in the room - this is definitely the place to stay. The suite was so spacious - and it literally cost pennies more than a standard room. Don't think I've ever sat on such a huge sofa! Everything had a quality feel to it, crockery, cutlery, products in the bathroom, right down to the cocktail set and glasses. Lovely little extras, like a gift left on your door on Christmas Day. To the drinks vouchers given by the lovely Hannah, on check-in, when I mentioned that my day had all gone wrong. This truly is a hidden gem in central Manchester, and considering the location, it was incredibly quiet.

2 very small quibbles. I found the lighting in the rooms to be very dim. No tea towels or wash cloths in the kitchen - a really tiny detail, easily remedied.

Issy the receptionist was friendly and welcoming and explained about the restaurant and bar times, hotel is central and I liked the kitchen set which had a fridge,washing machine,grill and oven/microwave and sink. Shower was lovely and hot bed comfortable and soft

The room was quite dark even with all the lights on, I personally would have preferred a brighter light by the mirror as it is on the side of the mirror and it reflected making it hard to see your reflection. It was quite noisy during 12am till 3am but then you expect that as the hotel is close to clubs and bars, would have liked the tea,coffee to have been replenished each morning but overall great stay and would definitely come back

There were many hotels within walking distance from Manchester coach station, after looking at prices and reviews i decided Whitworth Locke was where I should stay. Having stayed in a different hotel in the surrounding area previously (because it was the cheapest available option) I was largely underwhelmed with that experience, so my expectations were fairly low. It was nice and easy to find and as I entered the front door at around 8pm there was loud music blasting possibly too loud as I couldn't really hear the receptionist. But beyond that, no gripes. Both the receptionists (that evening and following morning) were helpful and pleasant. The room was perfect for what I needed and it was incredibly clean and hygienic.

As stated above, the music when entering was slightly too loud.

It's a great old building located not too far from the Piccadilly Train station (10 minute walk). It's set back from the road and feels a little out of place (which is good). The room I booked was superb, huge, very comfortable and really clean. The same could be said for the rather large en-suite bathroom. The staff at check-in were good, though there was a small queue and I had to wait for a few minutes. The check-in area is part of the bar area. Plenty of facilities, a warren of rooms on the floor and subfloor levels.

The price was high, and I'm not sure if this was due to the number of people staying or that an event was being held in some of the rooms on the basement floors, or that it's an expensive hotel in general. I was staying mid-January where I'd expect prices to be cheaper.

Great location, studio apartments are a great concept with a lovely shower & facilities. Cafe is lovely for breakfast and the bar area is cool! Assistance from Reception was helpful & prompt.

Windows are light but draughty with no voile at the windows in the morning (full view of everyone). It was cold at night (Feb), the duvet was very thin, extra blankets would be handy, the pillows & mattress were a bit hard & uncomfortable. Not the best quality! The rooms are starting to look a bit shabby already, paint in the bathroom is streaky, no fan either, and floor tiles need grouting properly. Only 2 coffee/tea bags provided, and small milk. Restaurant downstairs is overpriced.

hotel is well placed for this area of Manchester only a 10 minute walk from Piccadilly train station Pleasant, friendly staff in a modern reception area our only criticisms would be that the lighting in our room was inadequate and the large windows need nets or blinds as when the curtains are drawn the room interior is clearly visible to the office staff working in the building next door and closing the curtains makes the problem of poor lighting even worse, but a very comfortable and spacious room on the third floor with a well equipped kitchen and large walk in shower

The design of the room, super modern, all appliances in great state and staff really fast and resolutive even with maintenance issues

I signed up to an underground studio, knowing this, I didn’t expect the best ventilation however, it didn’t have much or any ventilation at all. We cooked in the morning some eggs and toast and when we came back in the afternoon, even leaving the extractor fan on, it still smelled like the food we cooked.. aaand; I don’t know if there was an option to ask for a chair, but we didn’t have any chairs in the room.. the only thing lacking.. the rest was really good
