We had a one-bedroomed suite and whilst it was not massive it was perfectly adequate, it had a separate bedroom and then a lounge/diner kitchen. It was high-spec throughout with large flat-screen TV's in both the lounge and bedroom. It also had a device which you could plug your portable DVD player, laptop, i-players etc in to. The bathroom had a rain-shower over the bath. Our suite (number 326) had fantastic views of the Big Wheel which was really nice.
Breakfast was included but we didn't venture down as we catered for ourselves in the suite. The kitchen has a 2-ring hob, microwave/convection/grill oven, large fridge with small freezer compartment and slim-line dishwasher. Like a previous review had commented it would have been good to have instructions on how to use the oven but we sorted it out in the end. All basic cutlery, crockery, pans, casserole dish etc are included - everything's there for you to be able to make a meal if you're a little resourceful (we managed a 3-course Christmas Day and Boxing Day meal!), possibly the only things missing are baking sheets so take your own if you think you'll need them.
We parked in the under-ground car park below the hotel which costs £10 for 24 hours. There's a small gym which had all the latest equipment you'd need for a work-out and a laundry room if you needed it.
It's right on Albert Docks with its smart bars and restaurants, opposite Echo Arena, and about a 5ish minute walk to the start of Liverpool One Shopping Centre (Hilton Hotel end). We went to the Liverpool Empire Theatre for a show when we were there (next door to Liverpool Lime Street Train Station) and I would say it's about a 20 minute walk. Most of Liverpool City Centre is easily reachable on foot as it's quite a compact city.
We had a fantastic Christmas at the Staybridge Suites, we'll definitely be booking again and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone. The staff, the suites' furnishings, the facilities, the cleanliness, the location...you could not fault a single thing

Great rooms (inc. kitchen area), great service (inc. onsite shop/"pantry" for the basics), great staff, great location... what more do you need from a hotel!? I'll definitely be looking for Staybridge hotels for my upcoming trips. Oh, and the buffet breakfast and free wifi is always a bonus too!

Such a refreshing change to the usual hotels and apartments on offer in Liverpool, have left with a great impression of Staybridge and the staff that run the hotel.

My first impression was prior to check in when I'd booked on a fixed deal, thinking a standard room would be fine for me; subsequently to be joined by better half decided to change to a one bedroom suite - online would not let me on same type of rate offer. I phoned up and the chap that took my call could not have been more helpful, talked me through the room options, prices and a host of other questions I had re parking etc - helpful and patient.

Arrival is a little odd in that you need to check in to get access to car pak, but once sorted fine, parking was £10 a day.

Room unquestionably had a wow factor for a hotel suite, whilst rooms were not huge they were furnished to the highest standards, spotless, and a great view to the Wheel. The kitchen is well equipped, a combo oven microwave and stove top, dishwasher and all what you need, including a few days supply of tablets and wash up liquid. Bed and settee full size and very comfy, great bathroom - shower over bath well powered.

The TV seemed to do lots with conections for laptops, external media and the like. Lots of channels including Sky Sports.

Only criticism (and it's minor) is that it would be helpful to have instructions for TV, air con and the microwave - they took and little getting used to, (but that could be an age thing...).

Midweek there is a evening drinks and nibbles set up for an hour - this consisted of wine, cheese and crudities, and lager. Help yourself and very pleasant - more aimed at long stay guests and offerred on Tuesday to Thursday (excluding Xmas weeks).

Breakfast is a help yourself Holiday Inn Express type affair, but with good selection and on the days we were there not too busy. We overlapped week to weekend and it's clear a different type of client stays at each time, cleverly the breakfast can appeal to a longer stayer just wanting toast and yoghurt to a weekend visitor looking for a little more. Many of the latter were taking up the offer to take breakfast back to their rooms.

Overall, very hard to fault - the staff were engaging and pleasant, the hotel spotless and well furnished, and the walk not too far to Albert Docks, town and the Baltic pub (worth a visit)...

Definately the place I'll stay when next in Liverpool.
