Fantastic stay in the city
Really fantastic stay - 5/10 min walk from Oxford Street and Piccadily. Decor of the bar / hotel / room was beautiful. Nice to have a little kitchen with a kettle etc. Really lovely staff - thank you for the breakfast recommendations! Great price too for a two night stay.

Manchester family trip
We loved our time at Whitworth Locke. The location was very convenient but outside of the more bustling parts of the city. We stayed with our three young sons and having the option to stay in a two bedroom unit was fantastic! The amenities were great and the staff was very helpful.
