I stayed at the Base apartments on Duke Street for a mid week night in Liverpool, in one of the penthouse apartments. In a nutshell, Base seem to provide lovely serviced apartments across a range of locations around Liverpool, including The Docks too.
3 of us were staying here, in which we took to a 2 bed penthouse which was spread across two levels. To walk from Lime Street took around 10-15 mins, however be aware that the office to get the keys is behind the apartments - you need to go right back on yourself and behind the mexican restaurant. If you don't know this, you'll find yourself loitering outside the front doors confused (like my guests were).
The apartment was huge - to say it has two double beds designed to sleep four, the living area could accomodate 10 people more! Very spacious, clean and minimal, just how I like it. It came with a dining table to seat 6 people and a full fitted kitchen.
Fairly quiet for us, not much noise, and a great location very close to Liverpool One and all the bars and nightlife. One bedroom came with an en suit, the other with usage of the bigger bathroom.
There was a lovely little balcony too, however it was freezing on my visit so the doors never opened!
Beds are very hard - so do bear this in mind.
Rooms came complete with a hairdryer which was a bonus, as service apartments aren't expected to come with the bits you expect at a hotel.
A great place to stay for birthday celebrations or hen parties in Liverpool, with huge amounts of space for pre-parties or gathering.
Reception staff very pleasant too. Another note to bear in mind is the security deposit. For 3 of us it cost £150, which i won't get back on my card until 10 days. This is the downside of Base! read more
