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.

Response from Management
Hi Alex, thanks for the review! Our location is ideal to have as a base whilst you explore the sights and sounds of Manchester. We try our very best to provide soulful hospitality and aim to provide a unique experience. We do not have air conditioning but our windows do open a little and you can always request a room on a lower floor which tend to be cooler. We hope to see you again soon at the Whitworth Locke! All the best! Lewis and the House Host Team.
