Love Manchester.

Wake up with a freshly roasted coffee from Foundation Coffee House. Spend the day in the Northern Quarter, with its colourful street art, independent shops and buzzing atmosphere. Before exploring Manchester’s best bars and restaurants after dark – just minutes from our door. 

Opposite the much-loved Canal Street and around an 8-minute walk from Piccadilly Station, you’ll be hard-pressed to find a better-located Manchester hotel. What’s more, when you stay at Whitworth Locke, you get all the best bits of a boutique hotel with the space and facilities of a serviced apartment.

David Booking.com September 2025

Great option for a short stay...

Positive: Spacious apartment with good facilities. Negative: Low level lighting in the room.
Response from Management
Hey David, Thanks for taking the time to review your stay with us. Glad you enjoyed your stay overall. Some of our apartments are naturally brighter depending where they're located, so feel free to request a brighter room on any future stays and we'll do our best to allocate you accordingly :) Best, Vanessa & The Whitworth Team

Response from Management
Hey Mark, Thanks for the great review, especially about the staff! We all do our best to make guests feel at home. I've replied to your comments on our internal survey in a little more depth but for the benefit of anyone else reading this we should have two soft and two firm pillows in every room, feel free to request an extra of either if needed :) See you soon! Vanessa & The Whitworth Team

Hi Aidan, Thanks for writing us a great review here as well. I've replied to the survey you completed for us too but for anyone else reading this some of our city studios do feature bedside tables so if this is a feature you would like feel free to make a request on your reservation :) See you again in the future!

Hi Lydia, Thanks for the 10/10 review - we love hearing when we get it right! One of our best features is having the option to cook so I'm glad to hear you appreciated this too. Whoops sorry about the rug but glad to hear it didn't dampen your overall experience. Hope to welcome you back soon. Best, Vanessa & The Whitworth Team

Response from Management
Hi Michael, Thanks for taking the time to review your stay with us and highlighting our friendly team. Housekeeping do a great job so thanks for acknowledging their cleaning efforts too. Well done for persevering with the microwave! We do have instructional videos for the various appliances in the room which we send over whatsapp if anyone is having difficulty. Well noted regarding the bed close to the wall and storage options. We'll take this into consideration when discussing future improvements at the hotel. The items you've listed should be present in all apartments - they're usually in a drawer within a cupboard so sometimes a little difficult to spot. We've had a few comments regarding lighting when getting ready, so we're trialling some additional lighting and hope to implement this across all rooms if satisfactory. We hope this goes to show that we do take on board feedback and it's suggestions like yours that help us continually improve our offering. Many thanks, Vanessa & The Whitworth Team

Response from Management
Dear Columbe, Thanks for taking the time to review your stay. We're pleased you made use of the handy kitchen facilities and co-working space. The restaurant, Winsome, is one of Manchester's most well regarded new openings. They do have set menus available on certain days and they're also currently offering a discount for in-house guests. Definitely worth trying if you have a chance! Thanks for the feedback about the TV; well noted. Some rooms have TVs that are better placed for watching TV in bed - feel free to make a request for this in future if this would make your next stay even better! Best, Vanessa & The Whitworth Team

Positive: Good location. Good facilities. Negative: The rooms was very warm.
Response from Management
Dear Georgia, Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We really strive to have a warm and friendly team on the front desk as well as impeccable cleanliness so we're pleased to see you scored us top marks for both! Whilst we do provide fans in all rooms, we appreciate that during very warm weather some of the rooms are not as comfortable. Should you stay again during warmer weather, please do feel free to request a cooler room and we will do our best to accommodate. We also have additional fans and thinner sheets available upon request. Hope to see you again in the near future. Best, Vanessa & The Whitworth Team

Positive: Great location. Nice to be in a different surroundings. Negative: Some elements were a bit tired.
Response from Management
Hey James, Thanks for taking the time to review your stay. Our location is definitely one of the best features of the hotel so we're glad you found it convenient! We're sorry to hear that some elements felt a bit tired. Please feel free to highlight any specifics to our reception team next time so we can address them with our maintenance team. Hope to see you again soon. Best, Vanessa & The Whitworth Team

Positive: room was comfortable. bar area really nice. Negative: bathroom very small. no air conditioning.
Response from Management
Hi Alison, Thanks for taking the time to review your stay. We're pleased to see you had a positive stay overall. The bathroom size can vary between rooms due to building layout. If you do stay again in the future feel free to request a larger bathroom and we'll do our best to accommodate. As a failsafe, those in our accessible rooms are always larger. We appreciate lack of aircon during warmer weather can be challenging. Room location has an effect on room temperature so feel free to also request a cooler room if staying in warm weather again. We hope the fan provided during your stay helped this time. We can also offer an additional fan and thinner sheet at reception, should this be beneficial on future visits to make your stay more comfortable. Best, Vanessa & The Whitworth Team

Hi Jemima, Thanks for the fantastic review and for acknowledging Kieran's great service! We are glad you had a great stay with us. Sorry to hear you had an issue with the hot water. Every room has its own boiler, which is generally sufficient for that apartment. If you do find there's an issue with the hot water on your next stay just let the reception team know and we'll do our best to fix it or find a solution! Vanessa & The Whitworth Team

Response from Management
Hi there Neave, It's great to see how much you enjoyed your stay with us overall and thanks for the constructive feedback! Thank you for your kind words. Since our architect designed our rooms to have a cozy and relaxing atmosphere, it IS quite darker than most of the other hotels in the area. But we do know it's not for everybody. If you decide to stay with us again, don't hesitate to ask for a brighter room. We would absolutely love to have you back! All the best, Andy and The Whitworth Locke Team
