Large room. Quiet in the room itself. Only had a shaver power point in the bathroom so international guests unable to plug anything in. High step over into the shower bath combo

I had a most excellent stay here. It’s a walkable distance to the Manchester Piccadilly train station and city centre. There are also many restaurants close by to choose from and a Tesco’s across the street. Not only a convenient location, it has a great coffee shop downstairs and a beautiful sitting area to hang out, check messages and enjoy the beautiful space. The wifi was also never spotty or slow. I would totally stay here again. The staff were helpful and friendly and our room was comfortable and clean and had everything we needed. Really felt like home!

Hey Beverly, Gosh what a glowing review! That is so kind, we are honoured to receive such kind words and scores from you! I'm thrilled to hear that you were so impressed by our central location with everything you may need within walking distance, as well as the unique modern design of the hang out spots downstairs! The biggest compliment we can hope for is that we made you feel like you were at your home away from home, so it's fantastic to hear that! We can't wait to see you again for your next stay!

Great location, hotel and room good. A little noisy over night from Canal Street. Could do with some brighter lighting in the room, it was a tad dark and difficult to see in the bathroom and the bedroom

Hey John, Thank you very much for leaving us such useful feedback, we really do appreciate it. I'm pleased to hear that you had a good stay overall and were impressed with our central location as well as the fully equipped apartment. I do apologies for the issues you experienced with the noise and the lighting. Our designers did opt for a muted lighting in the rooms to give a more intimate cozy vibe, however if this is not for you we are more than happy to provide extra floor lamps on request at reception. Being an inner city hotel, noise is something we contend with regularly and I do apologise for this, however if you'd like to stay again and give us another chance to impress you, we are more than happy to allocate on request one of our quieter rooms at the back of the building overlooking the canal, and away from any noisy streets. Hopefully we can welcome you back another time to turn your 4/5 into a 5/5! See you soon!

There are better options out there
A bad experience. Our room smelled of drains when we arrived. We got moved…to a delightful room overlooking a car park where there was still a drain smell, although thankfully less bad. Bed was uncomfortable, the apartment not very well provisioned. I’m not sure who this Locke proposition is aimed at, but for a comfortable stay at this price point there are better options.

Lovely hotel, close to Canal Street Gayborhood
Booked this hotel to experience the nightlife of Canal St/Gayborhood and this was a perfect location for it. Love the liveliness of the lobby/restaurant/coffee shop during the day and the lovely metal/glass ceiling. Great room and full kitchen in my room. Next time, I want to book something at Shallows because it looks so cool but didn't know about it prior to booking. Highly recommend this place!
