Loved the Whitworth Locke Hotel. Location was great - 10 minute walk from the train station and close to many restaurants and easy walk to different museums. Super convenient to have a washer/dryer in the room, and a kitchen. My only critical feedback, which I am pretty sure I read from others, is the room was really dark. Overall I would stay here again, however, that would be the only thing that would give me pause.

Disliked: Communication
The rooms were clean and adequate but dimly lit that I had to use my phone light sometimes to see what I needed. Telephone communication was abysmal. Several phone calls were met with voice mail, 20-25 minute wait and no answer, No return of messages. Constantly asking for communication through messages. I finally found a phone number on WhatsApp that I was able to connect. The staff were magnifisant and very helpful. The hotel had a cafeteria for food, snacks, tea and coffee. Food was very good with a hearty breakfast, There is a supermarket directly in front.

Staff made us feel very welcome from the moment we arrived, they were all helpful and cheerful. Our room was larger than anticipated with kitchen facilities - wished we could have stayed longer! Good large fan a bonus. Well stocked bar, plenty of seating. Breakfast more than adequate and we were served at our table which was a nice surprise. Everywhere clean and tidy. Overall a pleasant stay in a central location.

Great place to be on a mixed work leisure trip. Good wifi, a kitchen equipped with good appliances, nice bathroom. It really feels like a studio apartment more than a hotel room. Very cozy. I loved the design. The location is perfect too, super close to the train station, Canal Street, shops, restaurants, and close to Campuses. All walking distance. Fully recommend. And I’ll be back :)
