Fabulous place on the dockside with an easy walk to Pier Head, about ten to fifteen minutes. Excellent parking on site and a lovely bar serving very reasonably priced drinks. The room was spotless and great for a short city stay with all you need. Above all, the staff were absolutely brilliant, friendly, helpful and professional. I would definitely stay here again.

The initial attraction is the free parking as several hotels wanted £60 per night per vehicle. The room rates were good. Restaurant and bar prices were very reasonable and full English breakfast was excellent. Check in was easy and all staff were excellent; friendly, helpful and efficient. The location is ideal for the docks and to walk into the city nightlife and shops. The rooms were small and the toilet and shower room was tiny. We were only there for 2 nights so bearable. The thing that annoyed me most was the number of emails and notifications that I received after booking, wanting additional details for other group members and several reminders about group booking policies. I think they were concerned that we might have been a stag or hen party, which they don't allow. For a short, budget stays the Dolby is very good. If the room is an important consideration then maybe its not for you. The room was clean however and staff were great.

There’s lots to like about this hotel - free parking, friendly welcoming staff, tea/coffee in the bar that you don’t need to pay for because it’s the same as those provides in the rooms, ear plugs but we couldn’t hear any road noise, clean rooms, and walkable to the centre and docks. The bathroom is compact but it does its job! Would definitely stay here again.

I stayed here mid May. This is a basic hotel like a Travelodge, but, with more space and free WiFi in the rooms. No lift to floors 1 & 2, no air con so probably not ideal in the middle of summer. I would stay here again as only a 20 minute stroll to Albert Dock.

Bathroom is very very small, shower head fixed to roof, there was a shower cap, but because the space is so compact, not idea for anyone over a medium size. The bed wasn't even a bed very uncomfortable as no flexibility as its a matress on a platform, never seen this before and very small double, wish I had a tape measure. Liverpool is an amazing city was here for 3 nights, and when staying in a hotel you look for a comfortable bed and decent shower, Both very very dissapointing. Wouldn't have thought a hotel of any sort would be allowed to class what they have as a bed.

Small room but comfortable bed. Close to Albert docks and Liverpool One. Excellent location for both as within walking distance. On site parking very good. Knew the bathroom would be small before we booked but still found it extremely cramped. Only enough hanging space for 6 items. Could do with more. No space for suitcases either. Shelf above the sink was in the way whilst washing face.

This hotel was perfect as a base for our Liverpool trip but not quite comfy enough to want to spend much time in it. Just the essentials needed for a good nights stay. The bathroom was quite small so not loads of room to manouvre but the shower worked well. Me and my partner stayed for a couple of nights and slept pretty well in the double bed, but i feel due to the bathroom size it would better suit 1 person for more comfort. Free parking on site was a good bonus though and swayed our decision to book

This was a nice hotel although rooms are compact - think cruise ship cabins. Location was great and walkable. We managed to get in all the sights on foot. Breakfast wasn’t good at all. Not sure what was in the sausages. There is McDonald’s opposite which is where we ended up the following morning. Hotel has an EV charger and with an Octopus Electroverse card is 30p/kw which is cheaper than the 69p using the EVBox app. Plenty of general parking
