10/10 Excellent
"The level of service was exceptional and the staff were friendy and helpful. The continental breakfast was delicious and it was a lovely suprise to have table service instead of a buffet. It is disappointing that the hotel is due to close on the 30th September, as we would have visited again in the autumn."

The Resident Liverpool

The Resident Liverpool

10/10 Excellent
"This hotel is situated in a former warehouse in the atmospheric Ropewalks district, once an industrial area in the centre of Liverpool. These days the area is better known for its bars, restaurants and nightclubs, although it retains its industrial vibe. At the centre of the district is The Resident, a stylish hotel with a distinct character, beautifully converted. It doesn't have a restaurant but, no fear, each room has a mini-kitchen, hidden in the wardrobe. Here you can prepare your own breakfast (tea, coffee, kettle, mugs, bowls and cutlery all provided) and there's a local Tesco where you can buy cereals, milk or whatever you need. It's perfect, especially for those who like to remain independent. There's even a fridge and a microwave. And for those who prefer a cafe or restaurant, there are plenty in the area, with a good choice of options in nearby Bold Street. The location is excellent for easy access to all areas of central Liverpool. And the staff are friendly and helpful. I also found it to be calm and quiet, which was particularly important to me. It's highly recommended and I would certainly stay here again."

8/10 Good
"We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend stay at Daresbury Park Hotel. Staff were welcoming and helpful. Our room appeared to be recently refurbished, as were some other parts of the hotel. The room was rather hot, despite the weather outside having cooled following a heat wave, and the fan provided did little to alleviate this, but that might have been specific to our room. Unfortunately the bath didn't appear to have been cleaned properly as there were hairs in it, but the rest of the room looked clean. Our room was quiet despite the hotel being fairly busy. The pool and jacuzzi appeared clean and freshly decorated, but the ladies changing room floor would benefit from a deep clean. Breakfast was excellent and plentiful, although queues built up for the coffee machine. We were impressed with the provision of gluten free toast and sausages on request, both of which were delicious."

"We were given a beautiful room with leaded windows and a huge comfortable bed. Fab grounds and told about Spa but didn’t have the energy! Breakfast was nice and self service but no crispy bacon. Bar closes at 11pm so after returning from a great night out we weren’t allowed a drink, however, had we had time on arrival to read their info we would have been aware. One teabag in room and Earl Grey! None of the pods left for the coffee machine and only decaf coffee sachets in the box so was a let down as like cuppa before bed.."
