Excellent location, friendly team

Fantastic location, easy access to transport, restaurants and shopping. The staff are really lovely and helpful and friendly (like everyone we met in Liverpool!) it’s a great big old house and full of character, and we booked a ‘spacious room’ which was indeed spacious and comfortable, with a huge bed (very comfy). Although on top floor (stairs, no lift), there was nothing in the way of view - just brick walls - and the decor (dark grey paint/black wallpaper with colour floral pattern and mostly black carpet) made the room feel somewhat dark. Skylight in bathroom helped. Shower fabulous. Very tired looking grout/sealant in shower area (grimy and mouldy), and generally furniture tired, chipped, a bit on the shabby side. A lot of scuffed paintwork etc. no fridge in room but reception happy to let us use theirs. We had a great stay overall, just suggest a bit of a refresh.

Lock&Key Liverpool

We stayed two nights in a very spacious room at this small hotel. It is in an ideal location being very close to Liverpool1 and Albert dock area. Also only a short walk to the two cathedrals. The staff were friendly and helpful and a broken shower was fixed quickly but the faulty tv proved more difficult. There is no dining room but a small Italian restaurant is attached, which had a basic breakfast menu.
Not a good place if you have mobility issues as there are a few steep steps to the entrance and no lift inside.
Would stay again.

What to say ! We payed over the odds as it was Grand National weekend but I still expected more, the hotel, is in a great location, the staff were really helpful and Friendly but that's the only positives
The bed sheets were stained, the hairdryer is useless, make sure you take your own, no glasses in the room for a drink of water, the room was very warm but the fan outside the window meant we had to keep in shut, no AC.
We had no house keeping, we were brought fresh towels and cups when I asked.
The remote for the TV was broken.
No working fans in the bathroom

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Reviews dont match the hotel, its poor.

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.

A disappointment given previous reviews

I was a little disappointed, given the previous reviews and Sunday Times recommendation. Staff were extremely friendly and the room was clean and bed very comfortable. However the condition of the room, particularly the bathroom, was a little tired. Also, the sink in the bathroom was ridiculously small and shower screen inadequate, so that the floor became flooded after use.

Generally brilliant with couple of niggles

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.

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.

Quirky hotel with a good vibe and original style.
Needs some attention to detail..e.g leaky shower head, missing lightbulbs, dusty window blinds.

Liverpool hotel

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.

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!

Stop right here, No point looking anywhere else

Start to finish, exceptional. Never had such good and attentive service genuinely anywhere on earth. Definately will return. Great friendly staff, can't say anything bad.
Loved it, loved the room, the staff and the whole experience.

Noisy!

I had a phone call en route to say that we had been upgraded to a spacious room which I was obviously very pleased about! Unfortunately the room was quite a few staircases up with no lift and was located near the top of the building facing the very busy Duke Street. The noise was unbearable especially on the 2nd night with sirens, an alarm going off, bin men in the early hours collecting glass recycling, we didn’t get any sleep 😴
The room was very dark and needed lighting especially over the tea/coffee making area and mirror.
The bathroom was small - a wet room and the floor and bath mat were soaked.
The service and restaurant where we had our brunch were superb.
We stayed in room 12.

Overpriced, worth

Sorry, not worth the money. The room was very small, bathroom right next to the bed, small window with horrible view, no milk for tea and coffee, shower turned on and off during use. Nice decor, lovely staff, great location - overprice

Staff were unbelievably helpful and friendly.
2 gripes:
(1) No VIP, free beverage;
(2) Windows, and frames, were very dirty.
Would definitely stay again.

Lovely stay

Lovely cosy hotel with brilliant staff. Only tiny thing is the website says there are mini bars and free milk in the rooms but we didnt have one. Brilliant location whilst still being quiet, with unique decor.

Very good

I would thoroughly recommend this hotel, very central. The staff were very helpful and friendly, and wanted to make my stay as comfortable as they could. There is a small but good restaurant and over all the place is very quirky.
There was a good fan in my spacious room. They take a £50 deposit on credit card but hopefully that will be returned to my account as I left the room as I found it.

Beautiful little hotel

Absolutely beautiful rooms, perfect location lovely breakfast and excellent service. The only downside was work been carried out on, I assume, the building next door which started banging next to our room before 8am.

Lovely boutique hotel with really friendly staff who cant do enough for you. Great breakfast and great location. Nice bar and restaurant. Comfiest beds ever and really lovely rooms. Discount on Hanover Street Qpark which is round the corner. Not given 5 stars because there are a couple of things that need attention in the room we stayed in, the windows were really difficult to open and shut, one of the sockets was loose on the wall and the wet room literally floods when you have a shower. There was a plastic strip which I think was supposed to stop this which had lifted and broken. With a little tlc, this hotel would be perfect.

Great breakfast, not the cheapest though.
Good decor in room.
Sadly room 11 was like an oven and no way of getting any fresh air in, even with the window open 24 hours a day. So sleep was terrible for 2 nights. WC/shower room, had no where to place my shower gel, shampoo, face wash etc. No toilet roll holder either. Had to use towel rail for that. Area got soaked when showering.
Was very noisy also.
Hotel recommended car parking was £30 for 2 days, so bear that in mind if you are driving.
Luke was amazing and very helpful and welcoming as was the blonde lady. (Sorry forgot name)

A little gem!

Often said but the service here is just fantastic! From a telephone enquiry prior to staying, to check-in and everything else until check-out the Team is one of the most friendly, professional and happiest I've stayed with. Breakfast was great too. Not the best views from the rooms at the back, but cleanliness and I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Great little find

Booked for last minute break.
Hotel in great location for getting around liverpool.
Nice little bar attached to hotel.
Staff really friendly on arrival.
Room was quite snug so would try and get bigger room next time.
Bathroom floor got really wet when showering as think the shower glass is in wrong place but only minor issue… actual shower was superb
