The hotel is in a great location, everything you'd need around you. Great option for a short break in Liverpool. Room was lovely and warm slept soundly in the bed. WiFi was patchy at best, though we weren't in the room that long to use it to sky great extent. Extra mention for the staff. Meg, who checked us in, Pat, security man and the lovely cleaner that saw us in the morning were all fantastic and a credit to the hotel.

A cracking hotel for the money!

A goo location but maybe noisy at the weekend due to proximity of night life.

Disappointment

Very disappointing stay. Kept up due to noise all night; left at 5am. Shower was unusable as the temperature control was broken. Bed very uncomfortable. Emailed the hotel several times asking to discuss but never got a reply so I am afraid I am left with no choice but to post this review. Staff were very friendly to be fair.

Very welcoming staff. Room very clean and fresh but felt a little tired. Would not hesitate to recommend for a wee short break. Central so very handy for our Liverpool visit.

Outdated photos on Hotels.com

The photos of the hotel are outdated. Kitchen/bar not open. All the windows were dirty. Lots of dust on the window frames. Room quite spartan. Hardly any decor (1 picture on the wall). Stayed on top floor. Boxed in by other buildings hence no view. The positives: staff are very kind & helpful. Their service is excellent

The property was lovely, the lady on reception was nice and welcoming when we arrived. The room was modern and easy to relax in, we just couldn't get the heating on but the lady on reception was amazing again and provided a portable heater. The beds are very comfortable and overall we had a great stay :)

Cosy hotel in excellent central Liverpool location

Cosy hotel in excellent location for central Liverpool. The staff were really helpful and welcoming, the room was comfortable but the shower wasn't very powerful and tended to leak out of the shower base which could get annoying if staying longer than a couple of days.

The hotel had no food or breakfast options. There were no shampp or shower gel and the shower leaked all.over the floor and into the carpet. Was a mouldy smell all night..

Good value for one night

This place is good for a pitstop / one night or so. Check in staff were lovely, hotel & room were nice and warm in the winter. As a solo female traveller, the hotel also felt very safe. My room was good for the price, but a couple of added details could have made it great. A bedside lamp so that there was more option than just the ceiling light would be great, and looking at the shower drainage system which is slow - the shower is more of a wet room and the floor could flood easily.

Great location, friendly staff. Rooms cleanliness not up to standard of price / what’s advertised / pictures. Daily room cleaning was also cursory. Lots of the furniture looked heavily used. Wasn’t a dealbreaker but given the price and advertising as bespoke/boutique, did not meet expectations.

Pros- the staff were very friendly and overall for the price paid the room it was good value. Great location. Cons - the room was tired looking and the bathroom was tiny. It was not water tight meaning the room did smell of damp

Great Hotel, will be back

Check in was easy, room 202 is big, the small heater in the corner doesnt really warm the room, so a bit on the cold side. Windows could do with soundproofing as the sound from outside is very audible, didnt really bother us but my bother others. Bathroom is well equipped and large with underfloor heating. The full Lock & Key full breakfast is delicious and worh every penny. The hotel is situated perfectly, 2 minutes from Liverpool One shopping area, 2 minutes from the Albert docks and 15 minutes from the Empire Theatre.

Pros: Friendly staff, comfy rooms, amazing location very central. Cons b: noise issues from party-goers who kept me awake for one hour in the night, I know it's not the hotels fault but maybe they can ask guests to be quiet after a certain time or not let young groups all stay in one room No lift and shower is open so wets the entire bathroom
