The place has a warm, relaxed and welcoming demeanour and the menu is huge (in choice not paper dimensions...)! They'll try and cater to any needs and dietary demands (we've got a lactose person and a gluten person in our family, never a problem) and nothing is too much to ask! Book though, as it gets busy... Its a bit pricey but worth it - oh and one more thing, don't eat too many starters and mains as the sweet trolley is waiting and its just as good as the rest of the menu...

The staff where very friendly and helpful giving an over all relaxed enjoyable experience. Very reasonably priced. I can say with out a shadow of a doubt save me a table because I will be back as many times as I can

Tucked away behind Lime Street Station, The Liner is a nautical themed hotel and restaurant that is…read morewell worth a visit for a great meal out. Now I've never stayed here, but I've eaten here twice and the food was unbelievable! The menu changes frequently but the service was top notch and wandering the hotel after the meal was fun. The hotel has a great bar which really feels like you are on holiday in your own city. It's hard to explain why, but when we went in, there was American Horse Racing on the TV in the bar and we had a great laugh chatting to tourists who were visiting Liverpool for the first time. Although the food and service were great at the restaurant, It was pricey, so be warned! We had three courses each and a bottle of wine and the bill came to over £70.

And I asked the front desk if it was safe to walk around, they said yes, and literally 2 seconds later, I saw someone being arrested right outside the hotel. And there were a lot of homeless people. So I wouldn't recommend it for single women. Also, the breakfast, although fairly big, and thank you for having options for gluten and dairy free, etc. But it was PACKED with a long line to get in and around the buffet. Shocking really. On a Wednesday. But the staff was nice and helpful and the rooms were clean.

The front desk staff were just the nicest, so I have no complaints regarding service. The location is also fantastic: an easy walk to the train station or to the bars, but on a somewhat quieter street itself. The star downgrade is that the rooms just don't justify this being a 4-star hotel -- other than them being big. Very drab and outdated, can hear anyone above you walking on the creaky hardwood floors, some of the double beds are just smaller ones pushed together (and not very comfortable), no bottled water in the rooms, no phone to call the front desk, no hair dryer (thank god I wasn't staying long, as I wouldn't have been able to wash my hair the entire stay). They really need an update, but I feel like the bar for hotel quality in the area is generally pretty low.

There is no way I could ever give the Shankly Hotel any less than five stars. From the moment we…read morewalked in the door it just screamed luxury and I felt so welcomed and comfortable. The Shankly Hotel is named after Liverpool legend Bill Shankly. As I have absolutely no football knowledge whatsoever this part of the experience was a bit lost on me. However, for those in the know, from the first step into the foyer there are tributes to him and memorabilia of his life and career everywhere - even in the floor! We stayed here in a group of 14 as part of a hen weekend. The apartment at the top of the hotel was already booked for the weekend so we had 3 rooms for the weekend. These were pure luxury. There was a massive leather couch that turned into a bed, a generous sized wardrobe, huge comfortable beds with a beautiful tan leather trimmed headboard, a kitchenette and a jacuzzi bath. YES! A JACUZZI BATH! This was worth the stay alone and I definitely spent way too long in there on Saturday morning. It was full of the latest technology too including a bluetooth connectable soundbar that played in each area of the room, an XBox on request and a large flat screen TV equipped with lots of movies and radio stations. Everything was luxurious and I was in love with our surroundings. Even the rooms were adorned with Shankly memorabilia, including some bathroom wisdom in the form of Shankly quotes and a story about him on the roof from many people who had encountered him in their lives. Even if you're not much of a football fan you can appreciate the tasteful tributes to him at every turn. A massive plus for me was that the rooms were practically soundproof! When I decided to go to bed earlier than the rest of most of the hen party on the Saturday night I couldn't hear a peep as soon as I shut the door. Great news for their neighbouring room too I'll bet! On arrival we were given vouchers for drinks at the bar, which made our first round super cheap! There was also breakfast in the morning with plenty of hot and cold options, served until 11am. I never go for breakfast because I'm never up in time so this was such a nice change from the norm and I got to enjoy two days of delicious cooked breakfasts in the Bastion restaurant on the bottom floor of the hotel. You're only a five minute walk from Liverpool One and a ten minute walk from Concert Square. You're also right next to some shops, a Five Guys and local takeaways, and if you can't be bothered going out you can order JustEat/Dominos and the hotel reception will call you when it arrives. Heaven. It is definitely any Liverpool fan's dream hotel here. On the Friday night a Liverpool legend was at the restaurant while we were getting drinks and he had the FA Cup with him - which I'm told is a pretty big deal. However, even if you're not a Liverpool fan this hotel is a dream. It is modern, stylish, comfortable and all of the staff were amazing during our stay. There are so many little touches that made our weekend extra special and I'd definitely consider staying here on my next visit to Liverpool. Such a beautiful hotel in the heart of the city!

It's also handy if you are attending a conference at the Echo Arena on Albert Docks. We were visiting the nearby Art gallery and Museum. The attractive receptionist is really helpful.

Its been rated as a 2 star hotel but I've stayed in 4 star hotels that are not this good.

I spent a week at The Lord Nelson Hotel in November 2014 and found it to be very good value for…read moremoney. It's a budget hotel to be sure, so don't expect **** furniture or a large room. I had an en suite single which was just about 7-8m2. The bathroom was fully functional, clean and and surprisingly modern. There was no actual closet for the clothes, just a rack that you could hang your stuff on. Since I only slept there and spent the entire days in Liverpool and other towns within reach (Manchester, Southport and Chester), the slightly weathered furniture did not phase me one bit. In England, when evaluating real estate, they say: Location, location, location! And this is the greatest plus of The Lord Nelson Hotel in my book: It's very conveniently located just a stone's throw - and I do mean a stone's throw - from Liverpool Lime Street, the city's major train station (Liverpool Central is just a regional/subway station!). A three minute walk, max. Which comes in handy if you want to explore places outside of Liverpool and return late at night. It is also very close (less than 10 minutes) from the so-called Museum Quarter with its wonderful Walker Art Gallery, which I visited three times during my stay. The shopping area is also about 10 minutes away, and it's about 20 minutes to Albert Dock/harbour), the major tourist area with the Tate Liverpool, the Maritime Museum, The Museum of Liverpool and the Museum of Slavery (all within 5 minutes of each other). The more than adequate continental breakfast buffet was included in the modest room price, and tea & coffee were served by the young and friendly staff. The buffet included three kinds of jam, cheese, cold cuts (usually 1 kind), white and brown toast, yoghurts, fresh fruit, orange and apple juice and various crisps. I was pleasantly surprised. The large breakfast area (which is also the bar area) could get busy around 8-30 a.m. The bar, which I frequented a couple of times when I did not arrive at the hotel too late, offered a large range of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, including a few ales and lagers. All in all I was very happy with this hotel. Don't expect too much in terms of room style, and you should be better than okay. And again: It's location, location, location - on a budget.

Appalling stay. Staff unhelpful and rude. Promised refund in writing by manager. Not received…read more Manager refuses to talk to me or return emails. This has now been going on for two months. Escalated to customer services who are equally horrific. We are VIP members as well! Radisson Blu Liverpool shame on you - DO NOT STAY HERE. THEY DO NOT RESPECT THEIR GUESTS. I cannot understand how you can admit liability, in writing and offer a refund and then just not do it. What if the whole of society behaved in this manner. The manager Antony Bates and customer relations manager Ian McKee are still as of today not taking my calls or emails. Customer services won't acknowledge that I have liability accepted in writing. They don't belong to ABTA so have no accountability. Do not give them your money. This whole debacle started with waking up in a room full of marajuana smoke and when I complained being told "what do you expect if you stay somewhere like this". No wonder the receptionist felt she could treat me with such disdain - no accountability and she knew it. Silly me for thinking the customer has rights.

Very swish and just as expensive, the Radisson is the place that you will often find football teams staying if they have a long journey - or more likely can no longer afford to charter a private jet. The lobby is a grand space with the floors and rooms circling high up above you that has a very old school Hollywood feel to it. The White Bar is a great place to grab a cocktail and is accomodating to non residents too. If you have been to the Malmaison and Hilton then you will be familiar with the style and plan of the rooms. You pay for a clean, open and modern room but certainly not for anything unique as it is clear that all hotel rooms are just the same - until you pay the big bucks which I haven't so I can only imagine how weird and wonderful they are ?!

Narrow on the inside, overlapping the street on the outside, the Richmond feels like it occupies…read moremore space than it physically owns. Clutching leech-like to the corner of a building, the interior is little more than a corridor dominated by the slick, brass-tapped bar. Outside, there's a barrier separating the patrons from meandering shoppers, like zoo animals. Standing at a table with a cider on a sunny day becomes a bizarre but engrossing experience as people straining with carrier bags and prams shuffle past. You feel like you've simply stopped dead in a busy thoroughfare and in some ways you have. This is the kind of place you could walk into, get a drink and walk out of without breaking stride. Good for one though, provided you don't crack your scalp on the low toilet door. That's never an attractive thing to do in front of shoppers.

However this is a very friendly place despite what the pictures might suggest - the ridiculous number of England flags for the world cup make it look like a BNP social club but they are not a permananet feature, although having said that these things usually get left up until they have turned yellow and start to frey. Noty a great selection of beers, the theme is cheap and plentiful as the old fellas here will usually start at midday and go on drinking for ages which creates that strange, funny but baffling atmosphere you get with drunken old people. Friendly but you rarely know what the joke is - it's generally the young one.
