Dolby Hotel Liverpool - Liverpool

My partner and I had a great short break in Liverpool and stayed at the Dolby Hotel. The room was fine- clean and had T.V., coffee making facilities and a good view of the Albert Docks. The bathroom was a large cubicle but was adequate and clean. The breakfasts (not included in our stay) were very nice and the dining area was on the waterfront side of the hotel. The Dolby Hotel was sited near to a casino but we had no extra noise from this and it was only a 5 or 10 minute walk to the Docks, cinema and new shopping area. Saturday night was quite noisy due to the hen night and wedding season, but the rest of the time we were there it was quiet.

This guest did not leave a comment.

This hotel was good value, and close to the city centre. Breakfast was also good value and they took note of particular requests. .Room was compact, but had all you need for a short stay including internet access. Interesting retro style shower room. Multitasking staff were friendly and helpful. I would recomend this hotel with no hesitation.

Very much a budget hotel but in a convenient location for Albert Dock area of Liverpool. Welcome and service by the very young staff was a tad surly. Room was clean but basic. En-suite was very small with a shower of the kind where you're fighting the shower curtain as it clings to you! It was very noisy throughout the night with constant comings and goings. Even had a knock on my door at 4am by a youth that had gone to wrong room number. There was a security chain however so felt I could open door as I was a lone female. A friend of mine was staying in the Premier Inn which for the little bit extra cost was far superior. Wish I'd done the same!

Upon walking into the Dolby Hotel I was "greeted" by a surly redheaded girl who wanted no part of helping to check me into the hotel despite the fact she was sitting behind the check-in desk. Rooms were tiny, not the cleanest, and beds were unbelievably uncomfortable. The redhead continued her wonderful service by just shrugging her shoulders when asked how to get to the Liverpool Airport and was one of the rudest people I have ever met. Not a good person to have working at a hospitality oriented facility. Two thumbs way down. Avoid the Dolby Hotel at all costs - plenty of other options in Liverpool. Don't waste your time or your money.

Excellent budget hotel in nice position - very good and reasonably priced meals in restaurant

Room very small and shower was far too small. My husband is a very big man and found the experience very uncomfortable.

After taking 20 minutes to check in our group we were told to behave as they do not tolerate noise. Being 28 years old I found this very insulting. The room were smaller then a broom cupboard and the so called bathroom is a joke as its like a portakabin in your room. Staff were rubbish and I would tell people to sty away from here at all costs.

The hotel could be described as cheap and cheerful. The staff were very pleasant and helpful, the rooms were very basic but clean and the bathroom/shower was all contained in what could be described as a capsule in the corner of the room. Smallest shower I have ever been in with the curtain too eager to embrace you when you turn on the shower. It was value for money and okay as a stop off point on the way through to another destination, however I wouldn't consider staying there for any length of time as it wouldn't be comfortable enough.

The staff was very unfriendly and not cooperative.

We really enjoyed our stay here, the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. It was only an overnight stay as we were going to a concert but i would definately recommend it!

This hotel is good value for money, just a short walk to the Echo Arena, and ten min to the city centre and all facilities. Staff were very helpful, we enjoyed our stay very much.

We had three diferent problems: They gave us a smoking room. The employees was speaking up outside room early in the morning. Isn't allowed charge internal expenses like breakfast in the room.

Very close to Albert Dock and not far from the city centre. Comfortable and quiet rooms. Nice, helpful staff. Good reasonably priced breakfast.

A good hotel for the price. Well-placed for the arena and convention centre. Very clean and comfortable.

Clean, Tidy, Helpfull staff. But no lifts. worth a visit if going to attractions, most within walking distance.

good hotel, would stay again

Check out the Baltic Bell pub.

a 5-minutes walk to Albert Dock and 10 minutes away from the city center, clean, great view to Mersey, friendly staff

This hotel looks ok from the outside. Don't be fooled. If you like a good night's sleep then this place isn't for you. Doors banging, shouting and smoke smells made our stay last an hour. We got up and went to the Travelodge down the road which was only 13 pounds more expensive. This hotel would be good for people drinking and hitting the town in Liverpool. It reminded me of my halls of residence at university. Best avoided.

This is definitely a choice of stay in Liverpool, its location is convenient, withing walking distance to the city centre where all the shops are; one can enjoy the beautiful view of the river, and the attractions by the docks. The hotel staffs are very friendly, 24 hours service; the rooms are very comfortable, you will feel like you are at home. One thing worth mentioning is the breakfast, it is one of my favourite things about choosing this hotel.

Really nice hotel, basic but clean and freindly, really close to town and nice views of the mersey and Albert docks, would stay again. Thanks.

Best thing about this hotel are the staff very friendly and helpful, rooms are very small and the toilet/shower are so small do not bring a cat to swing!!!

Hotel isn't as far from the city centre as expected, less than a 10 min walk from the main bus station. However, that's pretty much the only thing going for the hotel! we were three girls staying together and it was fairly impossible to move within the room. Then the bathroom door was opened.... it looks as though it was added on as an afterthought rather than being an integral part of the room!! The shower was awful, felt like someone had just cut a hole in the roof and then was slowly trickling water through it! To have a shower also meant to flood the entire plastic bathroom, hot water tap didn't work and to turn the cold one meant the entire tap moved. I know it's a budget hotel but there are standards. However, all staff were lovely and friendly so can't fault that!

Excellent budget hotel, everything you need for a one night stay. Staff are friendly and efficient, parking is included and hotel is right in heart of city attractions. Rooms are always pristine and staff cheerful. En Suite shower room was cramped but perfectly useable for me a 15 stone person. Its not luxury but it is a clean bed for the night at a reasonable price. Recommended !!!!!

good hotel,10 min walk to city center plenty of free parking.

room are quiet narrow and small... but the view was nice and staff are friendly and helpfull..... and my friend told me that breakfast is quiet expensive.....compare to other hotel

This Hotel is very well located. Outstanding the kindness of the staff. Breakfast buffette is very nice and you get a wonderful view of the dock and sea. Convinient for walking to the Beatles Museum and the Marine and Slavery museums. Rooms are too small; no phone in rooms. Shawer EU stile: very small. Interent available.

The hotel staff were excellent, the room was clean, small, but perfect for one nights stay, with the exception of the mattress being massively uncomfortable and both of us being bitten in the night. Personally I found the latter outweighed the former and I would look for somewhere else to stay in future.

The staff are very welcoming and friendly, rooms are small but functional and clean. Overall a good choice if you are on a budget. Located on the dockside in a very pleasant setting and only a short £3.50 ride from the nightlife. I would gladly use this hotel again.

For an overnight stay hotel is perfectly agreeable, rooms clean,basic and adequate for the price.The triple room not really suitable for 3 adults but ideal for 2 adults and a child. We had the traditional breakfast (payable separately) which was good value also.

basic conditions but clean and OK just to sleep

lovely view of waterfront

It was a stay of two halves. On my second morning, the staff were quite helpful. On the first, they seemed profoundly disinterested in my needs. Not a pleasure, but survivable. Room was clean and fine - I read something about the shower being small, but it was fine - and I'm very tall.

very nice hotel on the albert docks,hotel very clean rooms modern, plenty of free parking. 10 min walk to citycenter Almost next door to the new arena.

Friendly staff, clean room, tasty breakfast, small bathroom with shower but not a bathtub.

Hotel was at budget price so we got what we expected - small, no frills room. But it was clean and tidy and the service was excellent, very friendly and helpful. It's the perfect spot for exploring central Liverpool and I'd recommend it to anyone on a budget. The meal in the evening was good quality and value. Only caution is for light sleepers - it filled up with young party-goers on the weekend so was quite noisy at night but it didn't overly bother us.

This hotel would be great for a stag's or if you want somewhere cheap

Great value for money, close to Albert Dock. Clean comfortable room, staff friendly and breakfast was good. Would stay there again.

This isnt the ritz but if you looking for something close to town, clean, quiet, good views of mersey (from back rooms) excellent staff and very reasonable price, this is a great find. The beds are pretty basic (fine for couple of nights) but tv, size of room and bathroom are all good. Just watch, no lifts and a 3rd bunk bed for triple rooms, not really suitable for large adult or any kind of mobility problem.

The staff in the hotel were very friendly. We went to the hotel in the morning and they looked after our bags in a secure location until we went back later. This meant that we didnt have to carry bags around all day. They also gave us the room key then so that we didnt have to check in later in the day. The room and en suite was very clean and the bed was comfortable. The view from the room overlooked the Queens Docks and looked beautiful both at in the day and at night. The room was basic but suited us as we were only using it to sleep in because we were out all day. The bathroom was very small but it had a toilet, sink and shower so it wasnt a problem at all. The bathroom wouldnt really suit somebody with a kid but it was was fine for us. The hotel is about 20 minutes walk away from the City Centre but it is a nice walk past the Albert Dock or through the newly built Liverpool One. All in all it was a nice stay and I would definitely stay here again. The price was excellent for the standard of the hotel and we were expecting alot less than we actually got.

As this is so close to the centre it is very noisy from 1am to around 5am with those returning from the clubs etc. Beware of the showers they are very small, with a plastic curtain, and it will flood the rest of the room, we had to ask for extra towels just to dry it out!! When told about this the reply was "that all the rooms are the same"!!!! We will not be staying here again.

this hotel is good value, we have stayed twice + would go back again!

very nice non luxury hotel, very nice restaurant and dining with dockside view.

I will return to this hotel the next time I am in Liverpool. I stayed here with my two sons and we had a nice relaxing night. The room was comfortable and the service was excellent.

really small room and bathroom, it looked like a boat cabin. though the worst was that one day we didn't have hot water (during freezing january) so overall, I won't come back. however, I have to say that this was the only hotel with decent prices....it's just that for the price we paid I still would have liked more of a hotel room and not a hostel. oh, and no breakfast included!!

Room very cold and very tiny and the bathroom was even more cramped. Suitable for a overnight stay when just passing through.

Basic accommodation but clean (although the room did smell of stale cigarette smoke) and comfortable. 5mins walk from Albert Dock and 10mins from the city centre. The staff we spoke to were friendly and helpful although we didn't have a meal at the hotel.

The rooms were very small and the shower room cramped - it was impossible to shower without getting water all over the floor! However, it was very clean, warm and had a supply of tea, coffee etc so for the price, free parking and location it was excellent value. For one or two nights only I'd happily stay there again. We didn't use our car all weekend but walked into the town centre and to Albert Dock, all very close at hand.

Staff were amazingly friendly and helpful, especially the night staff - they made the trip for us!!! Hotel was basic but very clean and in excellent location - would definitely stay here again.
