Hi Anthony, Thank you for taking the time to leave us this review, I'm pleased you loved our central location and our team made a great first impression. Please always let our on site team know about things like slow wifi etc, every room has an individual router so there may have been something they could have done then and there to fix it for you. In the cupboard under the sink there should have been some cleaning supplies, and if there is anything extra you need, the whatsapp number on the tv screen home page means you can contact reception 24/7 for assistance, there are some items we keep at the desk rather than placing in every room due to a lack of demand, so you never know, we might be able to help straight away :) Best wishes, Grace

Hi Andresen, Thank you for leaving us this feedback! I'm so happy we were able to recommend some fun things for you, and you enjoyed our central location. It is handy, isn't it? Sorry to hear about the room temperature, as the seasons change our housekeeping team will be adjusting the temperature they set the radiators to when inspecting rooms. If you have a spare 5 minutes, please email us via [email protected] with more details about the cleanliness, so this can be investigated. Best wishes, Grace

Hi Reham, Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback for us. I am so pleased you enjoyed our central location and loved the interior. Great to hear you made the most of our gym, and that our team made you feel welcome. The lighting was chosen by our architect to create a calm and relaxed environment, but we understand it isn't for everyone. I have noted your remarks about the the missed information during your check in, and will raise it with the team. Best wishes, Grace

Hi Max, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, I'm so glad you were welcomed by our team and you loved the design of Whitworth. Were you in a room that had a bath? As I find the rooms that we have with walk-in showers rather than bathtubs, have shower heads much higher up, so for your next stay, this may be the best option. Hope to see you again soon. Best wishes, Grace

This fee has been introduced as part of an initiative led by the city’s hotel and serviced apartment providers to create exciting new events and activities that will encourage more people to visit Manchester and Salford.
