Duke Street Apart Hotel

The room was clean, tidy and comfortable, and the location was great. We got an unexpected upgrade, which suited our age group better, but there were no windows and the neighbouring walls were paper thin. Young people in the apartments on both sides partied all night, so I didn’t sleep at all. The TV wouldn’t work either. I called reception and was put through to the person in charge of the building, who said he’d call back. No call came.

Way too hot, and there weren’t enough beds for the number of people.

There’s plenty of room, it’s clean, and the location is right in the heart of Liverpool. For a group coming to party, it’s decent value. But our group of five had to leave the door open for a couple of hours each evening to clear the stale air, since there are virtually no windows or ventilation. Music was audible at night too. The cutlery, glasses and other basic items looked old and weren’t very clean, so families may want to find somewhere with better amenities and cleanliness.
