What guests think
Across recent reviews, travellers describe Lock & Key Hotel as a centrally located boutique stay with friendly, helpful staff, comfortable rooms for many guests, and a lively on site bar, though experiences vary depending on room and weekend city noise.
Many guests praise the cooked to order breakfast. Common drawbacks include small or open showers that wet the floor, occasional damp odours and worn fittings, and inconsistent housekeeping. There is no lift and stairs can be challenging, and room temperatures can run hot or cold. Expect a characterful, central base with warm service and a few quirks.

Booked 2 rooms for 1 night. My mother is disabled and the hotel were not able to offer a ground floor room. They also have no lift and no accessibility measures in place at all. My room was on the top floor and smells really badly of dame, so much so that its saturated all of my cloths for days, even after they had been washed. As the hotel weren't able to offer an alternative room for a disabled woman, unlkly that they would have a replacement for a damp room so i didn't ask, we had also arrived late in the day and were there only 1 night for a funeral. I don't know who has written all of the reviews for this hotel but my experience was not good at all. Even without the damp and accessibility issues, the rooms were nicely decorated but average at best. Had a kettle but nowhere to plug it in and a leaky shower. Id give this place a miss.

The hotel's location near the main train stations, Liverpool One shopping district, and the university is convenient. The room was clean and well-maintained, featuring a small desk for working travellers. Although there was no iron or board in the room, the staff promptly provided one upon request. The bar, which also serves breakfast, offers a good selection of drinks at reasonable prices. Breakfast was a la carte and of good quality. The hotel's conversion from an older industrial building gives it character but will present accessibility challenges for some guests. Additionally, there was some noise, but it wasn't a major issue. The staff stood out for their exceptional helpfulness and friendliness.

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

What a little diamond of a hotel, very friendly staff really clean and room 303 was very spacious with everything you need. Very good breakfast selection off a menu from a full English to omelette to a bowl of granola, bar was small but quaint and ideal to have a nice drink in the evening. Public parking just round the corner that I got a discount on from the hotel and could walk to all the sightseeing attractions in Liverpool, highly recommend

The room was comfortable. There were more stairs than we expected and no elevator. I have issues walking and the stairs were difficult for me but the staff was nice and helpful. We did have a pigeon who decided to sleep on the window sill outside and it was really noisy but the hotel can't be held responsible for the local wildlife. I would not mind staying here again.

Hotel was beautifully decorated and the staff very helpful. The location was very central but this did make it noisy as it was on quite a main road and the glazing and curtains did nothing to dampen the noise. If you book here, bring ear plugs, especially on bin days. Also the en-suite door didn't close fully and having a shower flooded the whole en-suite which is probably why the door didn't fit as there was a lot of water damage to it.

Our first time to Liverpool, Luke - on reception was so helpful and friendly when I booked and soon ironed out the things I did not understand! We were advised to park at Q Park, just around the corner, this worked well, especially as we were given a discount. A beautiful hotel, wonderfully decorated and clean. A few of the rooms are being updated, staff apologised for this but it did not impact on our stay in any way. A comfy bed, effective radiator, powerful, hot shower and no noise at night, we could not have asked for more. We are definitely hoping to return at some point. Thank you!

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.

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.

This was my first time at the hotel and I was disappointed. I stayed 3 nights and the room I had was very hot and extremely noisy as a family live next door and their courtyard was outside the window. I did not sleep for the 3 nights. Also the room was not adequate, there were no tea / coffee making facilities until the third day, no water or fridge, no glasses to drink from and it was very basic. I also was surprised there was no bedside table and the plug by the bed was not accessible. The receptionist apologised but this did not really compensate the inadequacies. On a positive I had breakfast 1 day and it was very nice.

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.

What a little diamond of a hotel, very friendly staff really clean and room 303 was very spacious with everything you need. Very good breakfast selection off a menu from a full English to omelette to a bowl of granola, bar was small but quaint and ideal to have a nice drink in the evening. Public parking just round the corner that I got a discount on from the hotel and could walk to all the sightseeing attractions in Liverpool, highly recommend

Hotel was beautifully decorated and the staff very helpful. The location was very central but this did make it noisy as it was on quite a main road and the glazing and curtains did nothing to dampen the noise. If you book here, bring ear plugs, especially on bin days. Also the en-suite door didn't close fully and having a shower flooded the whole en-suite which is probably why the door didn't fit as there was a lot of water damage to it.

This is an very old building with no elevator, so we have to halt our luggage through the stairs. The location of the hotel is very good, close to the shopping mall and the Royal Albert Dock.

Dining
Breakfast and the bar receive strong praise for quality, with cooked to order dishes and good drinks. Some note the 8 am breakfast start and unclear menu pricing, and a few reported limited or confusing options.

The hotel's location near the main train stations, Liverpool One shopping district, and the university is convenient. The room was clean and well-maintained, featuring a small desk for working travellers. Although there was no iron or board in the room, the staff promptly provided one upon request. The bar, which also serves breakfast, offers a good selection of drinks at reasonable prices. Breakfast was a la carte and of good quality. The hotel's conversion from an older industrial building gives it character but will present accessibility challenges for some guests. Additionally, there was some noise, but it wasn't a major issue. The staff stood out for their exceptional helpfulness and friendliness.
