“Not as good as I expected”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 February 2012

I was expecting great things from this hotel, having stayed with Novotel before and been really impressed. However, I was quite disappointed in the reality. Great points are the location, the breakfast and the staff. However, my friend and I had to move rooms on the first night due to the walk in shower leaking, plug sockets not working and the fact that the tap in the bathroom came off in my hand! Many of my group complained of the bathrooms being smelly, one pair even went to Tesco for an air freshener! In general my feeling was that the rooms had been finished quickly and on the cheap which is a great pity as this could be a fabulous hotel. Also the room staff did not replenish the tea/coffee etc overnight so I had to make a 3am trip to reception for supplies! Could not fault the staff in their responses to our complaints, but not what you would expect from a fairly new hotel purporting to be 4****

Room Tip: If you want a twin, go for one of the doubles with a sofa bed, the twin beds are TINY!

Stayed here again for four nights in January. Could not fault anything the manager Maurice Able should take some of the credit because the staff know how to look after you. Everybody was so helpful and very informative. The room was clean and spacious, the buffet breakfast provided everything you needed, definatly 4 star

“Very modern but very hot rooms”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 February 2012

person found this review helpful

We stayed here as a treat check in was quick and easy very friendly staff.

Went out for the night and returned to quite a hot room and as you can only open windows so far this was a slight pain! Due to this i collapsed and was taken to hospital at 4am. Staff were great and issued a full refund as a good will. One particular member made sure i sat down and had plenty of water and was the one to give the refund! Very good staff!!

If you have problems with heat make sure u ask for fans!

Dear sweety270288

Thank you for taking the time to write a review and I am sorry to hear that the room was too hot and you were taken ill. We were not aware that you went to hospital and I am very sorry to hear this and I hope you do feel better. Please rest assured that we look at our heating in the rooms daily to control it, it is all centralized and kept at 21 degrees normally but that was obviously not the case in your room and I do apologize for the inconvenience. We hope to welcome you backa again and please feel free to let me know direclty, h6495-gm@accor.com, when you are returning to Liverpool. Kind regards, Maurice Abel, General Manager.

“Don't book Breakfast!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 February 2012

For teh price a great hotel, very clean and welll looked after, also in a great location. If you book it correctly great value. There are a couple of really nice bar/restauarants next door that do fantastic breakfasts for less than half the price of the novotel.

Room Tip: Go to the nearby bars for breakfast!

“Great Hotel, Location is Superb”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 January 2012

Recently stayed here for the weekend with my partner. Hotel is new and modern. The location is superb, in the city center and in Liverpool One. Check in was fast, the staff were really friendly.

Our room was clean we were impressed that our mp3 could be connected to the TV. Speakers in the bathroom was really good too. Unusual design in separate shower and bathroom but both were clean.

The Bar had a nice menu and we enjoyed the large comfortable chairs with a Mojito.

Breakfast was a Buffet. There was a good selection and the staff were on hand to assist with fresh tea and coffee.

We have been to Liverpool on a number of occasions and when we return again we will be looking to book here again!
