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

Staff lovely. Cold room. No natural light. Tiny sink. Nowhere to put our clothes other than hanging up. One chair. Didn’t look anything like photos. Not Worthing to have been listed on Sunday times as a good place to stay. Breakfast confusing, not given appropriate information.

The hotel is in a great location, everything you'd need around you. Great option for a short break in Liverpool. 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.

A cracking hotel for the money!

A goo location but maybe noisy at the weekend due to proximity of night life.

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Outdated photos on Hotels.com

The photos of the hotel are outdated.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

The property was lovely, the lady on reception was nice and welcoming when we arrived. The room was modern and easy to relax in, we just couldn't get the heating on but the lady on reception was amazing again and provided a portable heater. The beds are very comfortable and overall we had a great stay :)

Cosy hotel in excellent central Liverpool location

Cosy hotel in excellent location for central Liverpool. The staff were really helpful and welcoming, the room was comfortable but the shower wasn't very powerful and tended to leak out of the shower base which could get annoying if staying longer than a couple of days.

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.
