For a budget friendly hotel, the room was in excellent condition, and the hallways had been recently repainted. This is always a good sign as often these communal areas are not looked after. The hotel is very close to the city centre and with free parking this was a boon for a river front property, just a shame the weather wasn’t better. The staff when we arrived, and in the morning were friendly, and I’m sure if we had needed something they would have got it for us. The room was small, but did all we needed for a 1 night stay, just two small things - 1. It would have been nice to have a small wardrobe to hang clothes up in, and 2. The bathroom was very small, but again perfectly clean and in good overall condition. We would certainly book again when coming to Liverpool.

Hotel is situated on Queens Dock, just a few minutes walk to Albert Dock & some lovely restaurants. Our room was compact but had everything needed for a cosy stay. Cooked breakfast was good with fruit yogurt, cereals, croissants & refills of good coffee(Lavazza). Very polite, helpful staff.
View from Dolby Hotel restaurant.

Nice and easy to find. Lovely welcome from chap on reception. We didn’t have breakfast so can’t comment on it or eat in the evening but it was a very small basic menu. Our room was very small with just a small hanging rail and a few hangers plus a couple of open shelves. there was no where to put emptied cases but we worked out of the cases anyway, it was good that there was plugs near the mirror but no plugs by the bed. There was a full length mirror on the back of the door but this was covered once you hung your coats up.the quilt covers only just covered single beds with no real over hang.the bathroom was very small and also the shower (kept banging self on walls of shower) it was also an overhead shower which I don’t like as don’t wash my hair every time I shower (luckily there was a shower cap) you could ask at reception if you forgot any shower items.it would have been nice if the towels were bath sheets rather than bath towels as not much wrap over with them. They provide ear plugs just in case of noise but it was nice and quiet.a nice view of the docks and only a short walk from Albert docks and city centre (about 20 minutes) . It was good that there is free parking and you can stay all day on day of departure.
