Great location
No air con. Boiling hot. Arrived dropped bags. Didn’t realise no air con. Had to open windows extremely noisy all night. Saw a sign with an offer of fan in the morning. Not sure blowing warm air around would help.
Hotel staff were great, facilities were great, children enjoyed the pool. Would stay again!
On our 2nd day the breakfast seemed to come out really slow, not enough for everyone that came down at a certain time.
Staff on reception lovely and when we arrived we asked if we could leave our bags as 3hous early for check in but as the room was ready we could have the keyb
The whole place needs a facelift looks very tired and outside very noisy
Super central literally 2 seconds from liverpool one, tesco next door, and loads of restaurants!
Nothing
Comfy bed
Nothing everything was perfect
Ideal spot for Liverpool city centre and Albert Dock.
We thought that £353 for three nights not including breakfast was a bit steep.
Lokalizacja jest świetna i bardzo miły personel, wręcz wspaniały, zwłaszcza w recepcji. Rituals jest cudowny. Duży plus za lodówkę i zestaw kawy i herbaty w pokoju. Zwłaszcza przy podróży z dziećmi, ciepły napój jest super.
Czystość zwłaszcza w częściach wspólnych, lekko zurzyte sprzęty. Brak szlafroków, kapci/klapek. Dość malutkie pokoje. Widok z okna słaby ;(

Bathroom in need of clean . Tiles/grout mould and toilet door stains
La posizione è perfetta per muoversi a piedi, a pochi passi dai Docks e dal centro
Gli ascensori hanno bisogno di manutenzione, i pannelli sono divelti, le porte rumorose e piene di ammaccature, il movimento è a scatti e fa impressione. In zona colazione la cortesia è mancata!
Close to city centre
The location is excellent. A short walk from the train station, the docks and the centre. Breakfast was good, never too busy and always replenished. Our room was big but a little dated and tired. However the bed was comfortable and the room was clean and attended every day by cleaners. The blackout curtains worked well.
The room could do with a revamp. For the money paid, I expected it to be a little more modern and fresh. There was quite a lot of dust on the ceiling where the air is drawn in/out by the room heater/cooler. Just a minor issue/attention to detail, but didn't cause any discomfort.
Lovely
Paying 😁
Had everything we needed, also had a pool which was a bonus! The location was great, walking distance to city centre
The pillows wasnt very comfortable but all in all was a great stay
Great location, friendly staff and lovely facilities
Don’t really see the need to book the pool as it wasn’t really necessary
Very friendly staff. Location and it was very clean.
Close to home and Liverpool one there to shop

Beliggenhet.
The location was good and staff nice
Too much building work, waking my toddler up at 6am and when we messaged the hotel we got no reply. We traveled for a wedding and it made my son tired for the whole day. We understand building work can’t be helped but would have like a room at the other side seen as we were traveling with a toddler
Location is great, short walk to Liverpool One, and short taxi ride to Anfield. Staff are very helpful, food in restaurant was nice, and breakfast was great.
Great location, lovely room, helpful staff

Very good. Wide choice of restaurant food. Great option to leave bags securely. Good to have a pool to soak in.
Spinner for swimming costumes, especially on leaving day.
Good location
The location. Perfect with access to museums, shopping, bars, restaurants all within walking distance. Staff very pleasant and helpful. Bar staff also pleasant.
Swimming pool access disappointing. Too restricted and too many people especially children so didn't swim much.

It was central and within walking distance to everywhere we wanted to visit
The shower room and bathroom weren’t that great
The room was comfortable, providing a welcoming atmosphere that made it easy to relax after a long day. It was equipped with all the necessary facilities and high-speed internet access, ensuring that we had everything we needed for a pleasant stay. Additionally, the selection of breakfast featured a variety of options ranging from fresh fruits and pastries to hot dishes, making each morning a delightful experience.
Staff managed to fit us in for a pool session In the morning even though it was fully booked which made my kids very happy.
Room was a little warm at night.
Centrally placed, near to docks and centre. Brilliant staff. Great sized room. Fabulous breakfast choice
Nothing to dislike
Hotel bleek net buiten de drukte en bijna naast het busstation te zitten! Aardig personeel.
Logisch, maar je moest reserveren voor het zwembad, dit hadden we graag vooraf geweten! Het weekend zat alles vol! Ontbijt was niet bijzonder. Beetje verouderde kamer.
Great location really good bar
No air con bed was not comfortable

Breakfast room was too busy
I arrived at Novotel Liverpool Centre with my 12-year-old daughter expecting a straightforward check-in. Instead, our booking was cancelled and we were left needing alternative accommodation—all because I politely pointed out a discrepancy in the hotel’s own breakfast information. A sign inside the hotel stated that breakfast ended at 10:00 am, while the receptionist gave us a different time. When I mentioned what the sign said, rather than simply acknowledging the conflicting information, the receptionist became dismissive and argumentative. When the Duty Manager was called over, I began recording the interaction on my phone. Throughout the conversation, including before the recording began, I remained calm and polite. I did not raise my voice, swear or behave aggressively. What happened next was astonishing. Instead of taking control, resolving the misunderstanding and de-escalating such a minor issue, the Duty Manager displayed a complete lack of leadership. The receptionist told the manager to cancel our booking, and the manager simply agreed—leaving a father and his 12-year-old daughter without accommodation over a harmless disagreement about a breakfast sign. I later raised the matter with the General Manager, Mathieu Batut, hoping that somebody in senior management would review what had happened objectively and recognise how badly it had been handled. Unfortunately, he supported the actions of his staff and accepted no responsibility. That response is perhaps even more concerning than the original incident. If the receptionist, Duty Manager and General Manager can all look at these circumstances and conclude that the paying guest was at fault, it raises serious questions about whether any of them understand the most basic principles of hospitality. Staff working in hospitality should be capable of listening, calming a situation and finding a reasonable solution—not escalating a trivial misunderstanding and then closing ranks to defend it. I asked at the time whether the hotel’s CCTV recorded audio and was told that it did not. My own video footage, however, allows people to see and hear part of the interaction for themselves, and it is available on YouTube. This was never really about breakfast times. It was about how hotel staff chose to respond to a customer politely questioning conflicting information. A matter that could have been resolved in seconds was needlessly escalated until a paying guest and his child were refused accommodation. In all my years of staying in hotels, I have never experienced such a complete failure of hospitality, judgment and leadership. Based on both the incident and management’s subsequent response, I could not recommend Novotel Liverpool Centre.
I liked the central location and it was close to the Qpark carpark. All the staff were friendly and helpful. The rooms where spacious with comfortable beds. Overall the hotel was modern and clean. I would stay again.
I would honestly say I could not fault the hotel at all. It was a very pleasant experience.
Las instalaciones y el desayuno están muy bien, la cama es muy cómoda. El personal es muy atento y amable. Tiene muy buena ubicación, tanto con zonas de interés como con el aeropuerto (linea 500). 100% Recomendable.

The breakfast is OK

Good location
Room was 4 feet from an adjacent building being renovated. The noise from 7am was terrible. The carpet was dirty and stained. The whole place needs a complete renovation

Was all brilliant
Location of hotel, in walkong distance feom bus station, shopping centre etc. Hotel was lovely and clean. My daughter loved the pool.
Pool not as big as it looked in pictures, so you really have to prebook a slot to be sure to get a 45 min swim slot. But it is very enjoyable.
Absolutely lovely staff and the hotel was very central and I was delighted that the hotel kept my luggage after check out as I had a late evening flight home.
Ive no comment everything was good
Location is good - close to everything going on. Well decorated/presented facilities coffee machine nice touch to have
The pool was very murky - did not want to swim in it. Hot food at breakfast was barely warm. Toilet with no sink separate from main bathroom. Room very noisy - because no air conditioning you need to have windows open and loud busy road and building work starting very early. Arrived with empty can etc... from previous guests. We have stayed many times with Novotel and choose it as we have always had positive experience but sadly this time we didn't.
Close to town, easy parking, staff happy to help

Excellent location that exceeded expectations.

Great location.
Loved the sauna pool and gym, the food was amazing and good value for money
Room wasn’t too clean n soda wasn’t made up, a few issues while there n room service wasn’t great
Very nice clean rooms and good food. Had a problem ordering room service breakfast on card hanger I ordered continental and got that plus cooked but it was sorted and I wasn't charged.
All good
Location was excellent with secure parking close by , a nice room with a useful fridge
Breakfast not included and seemed pricey as an add on given the large number of alternative options nearby. There was only one breakfast teabag provided in a room for two and hardly any tissues in the bathroom but we were a long way from reception so didn’t bother going to ask for more.
Goeie locatie om het centrum van Liverpool te bezoeken. De buurt achter het hotel, the Baltic Triangle, is zeer hip, met veel toffe restaurants. Het personeel is vriendelijk en geeft graag tips om je bezoek aan Liverpool te optimaliseren. De locatie is gemakkelijk te bereiken met de auto. De kamer was comfortabel.
Zwembad is niet de moeite waard: erg klein, bijzonder druk, ondanks dat je moet reserveren. Ontbijt is druk en aanbod is vrij beperkt.
Great location, great staff, good breakfast
No availability to book swimming pool even though we checked in at 3 Noise at night time ( toilets seem to take an age to refill and very noisy)
Lovely room, nice breakfast
Breakfast area is a little cramped when busy
Pool can be bigger so more people can book spaces easily.
The pool for the grandkids

Central to everything. Clean and comfy. A special little touch of a card and chocolate from the hotel as my son has just finished his exams, and this was a treat away. Thank you 😊

Great location Friendly helpful staff Nice & modern Great pool
Hard beds
Really great location for families to navigate the city centre. The room was clean and quiet, so we had a good nights sleep. The swimming pool was a bonus for the kids! Parking close by was really useful as well (using the hotels discount code) Staff were super helpful opening our safe, as the kids had accidentally locked it 🙈 Breakfast had a good array of options. Super cheap all round!
I don't think there was anything that we didn't like, good all round!
Stayed here with my partner, my 6 and 2 year olds. Lovely clean hotel Perfect location and having access to the poor is fantastic. Definitely recommend 👌
Nothing we disliked
Breakfast was only let down everything else amazing
Breakfast
Location was brilliant!
Stayed here to take kids to pool but was fully booked out so didn’t get the chance. On that basis not having the pool we could have stayed in another hotel, pretty central at cheaper price.
The location was brilliant for shopping.
I felt the price of breakfast was expensive so we chose to eat somthing out.
Breakfast. Comfy bed.
Run out of beer in the bar. Small sofa bed, not big enough for older children to share.
Excellent location for the docks, Liverpool One, numerous bars and restaurants.Staff on reception were very pleasant and helpful, we stayed in an executive suite which was very spacious with a comfy bed and facilities. We treated ourselves to breakfast in bed for only £5 extra, superb,. Lovely bar area with 2 for 1 cocktails. Pool area excellent we found early afternoon a quiet time and had the pool to ourselves. Would definitely return and recommend
Although double glazed alot of noise through window
Excellent - nice touch fridge in room

When i arrived to check in one of the staff members just left, another one cane who was rude and seemed racist and was giving my place in the queue to someone else. She also didn't say anything about the view of the room which was at the busy parking when i asked for a "cooler room".

The location was great, close to the areas we were visiting while we were staying and to the train station. We shared a twin room the beds were very comfortable and larger than a normal single. There was a small issue with a broken socket which we reported to reception we also requested a fan as we were on our way out, the service was fantastic socket was replaced and fan was in our room when we returned. We had a great stay and will definitely return next time we are visiting Liverpool.
The breakfast could been a bit better. The pancakes where to slow, the scrambled egg was not good.
