Reviews of Whitworth Locke
Nadine C
In a trendy part of town and looks nice as you go in. Unfortunately my experience with staff left a lot to be desired. The whole reason for choosing this hotel was the onsite fitness centre.

No mention of any restrictions etc. So I get changed a...

Quite disappointed with the service and rooms. I booked a room for 5 days and the room was not cleaned once. I was informed that they clean once a week and at that point I thought might as well get an AirBnb then! The hand and body soap were used up by Day 3, I informed front of desk, yet they were never replaced! New towels were brought up but the old ones weren't removed, ending with a pile of t...

Our experience was fantastic! The hotel offers a spacious and well-designed environment, with dedicated areas for drinks, coffee, and even working. The on-site restaurant is excellent, especially the breakfast options. Luke welcomed us warmly and was incredibly friendly and helpful, giving us great recommendations for places to visit.

We were informed that this was a 24hr bar and that we could get served at anytime as the front is always manned by staff. Ho...
