Whitworth Locke is the perfect location for staying in Manchester - it’s right next to canal street and a short walk from the station and the shops. The atmosphere is really relaxed and I love the decor of the main entrance way, bar and the rooms. The staff were really friendly and ready to help me with any queries I had. The only downside I would say is that I wasn’t completely satisfied by the location of the room - it was right next to the stairs and although I didn’t mind the noise as I was going out anyway, it would have bothered me if I’d wanted a relaxing weekend away as the amount of people coming up and down the stairs was significant. I loved the interior of my room, the facilities and overall I enjoyed my stay. I would definitely return but probably have to book a room that was further up in the building to avoid being near the stairwell.
