“Good but a bit pricy”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 28, 2012

Had a fab shopping trip in November. This hotel is really well placed - close to parking, shops and bars and restaurants. Yet it still felt very safe even when we came in at 2.00am. It was a bit pricey at £160 a night - but the room was very clean and contemporary.

Thank you for your review and I note your comment about price. Liverpool's hotels offer fantastic value during the week compared to most UK cities but Liverpool's great popularity at week-ends means that hotel prices tend to rise then. However, with free Wi-Fi and phone calls, plus free internet, music and games on our HDTVs, and exclusive discounts at some of Liverpool's best restaurants, we believe base2stay still offers great value, so we hope we can welcome you back soon.

“Decent base in a great city”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 27, 2012

We stayed here for one night to see Elbow at the Echo Arena in late Nov. Good location as you can walk to the hotel from Lime Street station in about 10 mins. You can also walk to Albert Docks and the Echo in about 10 mins as well.

We booked a superior king-sized room through LateRooms and overall the hotel is good value for money. The room is really quite standard in size, but has additional features such as a microwave and a fridge - which I guess would be very useful if you were staying a few nights. The hotel does not have its own restaurant - but you can order a delivery of a continental breakfast if you want. This suited us as we like to eat out and order something light - and there are plenty of cafes nearby for breakfast.

The room had free wifi - which is essential these days. The bathroom was a decent size, with bath and shower. The room has good high ceilings and fortunately a good heating system. Unfortunately, the bed was two singles - which should have been zipped up, but when we got to bed around 2am we found it was made up without being zipped up. Very annoying, and a bit late to get someone to sort it out. We thought this was strange that it had been left like this. I did point it out upon checking out and the receptionist apologised and said they could have sorted it out for us. Sure - but not in the middle of the night. Thanks.

The hotel being in Seel St is well located if you want to go to any decent bars and clubs - Alma de Cuba is just down the road, as is The Peacock and Heebee Jeebees.

Overall, a good hotel in Liverpool - well located, and we would go back.

Room Tip: Ensure your bed is zipped when you fist enter your room.

Thank you for taking the time to leave such a detailed review. We very much appreciate this as I’m sure other guests do too. In regards to the mix-up with your bed, our housekeeping staff do try their best to be attentive and keep standards high, but I apologise for their lapse on this occasion. Our reception desk is in operation 24hrs if assistance is required, but I do understand in your case it wasn’t the most convenient time and you probably wanted to just sleep! I hope that you will visit us again, so that we can show you the best of the base2stay experience.

“Surprise”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 26, 2012

Hotel recomended online, so we gave it a try for our Christmas shopping weekend. Sentrally based in Liverpool, no restaurant in the hotel, perfect for us as we prefer to enjoy our breakfast at Starbucks ;)

Nice rooms, positively surprised by the little kitchen in the cabinet, friendly staff.

Room Tip: Ask for a room without connecting room... We could hear everything our neighbour said and did.

Thank you for your review. I hope you had a lovely Christmas and I’m pleased to hear that you enjoyed your experience at base2stay. Our central location makes Christmas shopping that much easier, especially after Boxing Day with all those glorious sales, which we hope you took advantage of! We’re glad you were fond of our mini-kitchen facility; perfect for bringing Starbucks breakfast home or making your own!

“Friendly staff, Perfect location, small rooms”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed December 22, 2012

I stayed at the hotel for 2 nights early in November. The receptionists throughout our stay were lovely and very helpful with calling us taxis. Concert square with all the good clubs is right by the hotel however the walls must be soundproofed as rooms were not noisy. Its a very safe hotel as doors as secured, and people can't just walk in off the street as receptionists must buzz to let them in and they can see whos ringing to get in from the front desk. The lobby upon arrival is beautiful, very cosy , modern and well decorated with internet access. The room itself was very basic and small however we didn't spend much time in the room so it didn't matter too much. The bathroom was gorgeous and the kitchen was small but had enough facilities including a safe, a microwave, sink, fridge etc. the room also had a flatscreen tv, air-conditioning and heating. Overall I enjoyed my stay .

Room Tip: perfect location if your looking for somewhere cental close to everything, but if your looking for a...

We are always delighted to read reviews that point out so many of our positive features. It was therefore disappointing to only receive 3 stars, based on room size. We have a wide variety of room types from Super Singles to 350 sq.ft. double-height Gallery Suites, as our website describes, so we hope you will visit Liverpool again and try one of our larger rooms.

“a lovely hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 22, 2012

We always stop here when we stay in Liverpool. We like the location, the staff, the fact that there are glasses in the room for a decent glass of wine before venturing on a night out in Liverpool. There's even a microwave!
