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.

Location, price, facilities, I wanted for nothing and the staff are amazing. We were metres away from where we were visiting and had a kitchen in the apartments to make breakfast. There's a good hairdryer and an iron, plenty of wardrobe space and a little lounge area for sitting overlooking the canal. It's comfortable and spacious. The shower we had... I wanted to take it home with me, it's that good.

The kitchen stove was very slow and the lighting for makeup is poor, but if you're not in a hurry and brought your own lighting not a problem. We had a fan, but it was the hottest weekend in Manchester ever, and being in the centre it can get noisy at night. Neither of which are Whitworth Locke's fault and I expected it given the excellent location.

Beautiful building, nicely renovated to make a comfortable place to stay. The bar, coffee shop and communal working areas downstairs are buzzy so it feels welcoming and pleasant to come back to as a solo traveller, even if you don't use them. All staff at reception were friendly and helpful. Room was a good size and well kept, bed was super comfortable, generally I found noise levels inside the hotel just fine with barely anything audible from fellow guests. There was a little bit of noise from outside my room at night when bottles were being thrown away, but with windows closed it didn't bother me. Kitchen area small but well equipped generally. I liked that you can crack open the windows for fresh air - often not available in more modern buildings. Location was good for getting to Piccadilly and also basically the whole of central Manchester.

I was really impressed with my stay at Whitworth Locke. Check-in was easy and Amber was really helpful and welcoming and answered any questions I had. The hotel itself has a really nice feel to it, especially as you first enter where the bar/restaurant/cafe/reception areas are, so much light and greenery and ample seating options. The Studio room I had booked for my son and I was really spaceous and had everything you would need in a home away from home, I especially liked all the eco features and how everything was layed out. The beds were comfy and the room was really clean and well thought out. Definitely hoping to stay here again in the future.

I don't have anything that I didn't like.

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

Stayed here for 2 nights for the Oasis gigs and the hotel was perfect. Check in was super easy and the receptionists Alfie and Kieran (Apologies if I spelt wrong) were really helpful in assisting us of where to go for drinks and food. The hotel is really clean and good vibes all round. The room was extremely spacious and didn't know we had a cooker, washing machine, fridge and everything else, we didn't use these but decent if you want to. We will definitely look to stay again if in Manchester and we will look for the same chain of hotel elsewhere.

Nothing

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.
