Atlantic Tower Hotel Liverpool By Sunday

Friday night was extremely loud, and we could hear everything from both rooms beside ours through the paper thin walls. Our neighbours were noisy and seemed unaware of anyone else, even at 12am. Thursday, by comparison, was peaceful. Something to bear in mind when booking. The location was good and the view lovely, and the shower was good too. The spring mattress could have been more comfortable, especially for a privilege room. I was worried when we arrived because the outside looks really run down and needs work, while the inside is standard. The receptionists were friendly and helpful, and since our room was ready, we checked in early at no charge.

If all you need is somewhere to sleep and have breakfast, it’s fine. The location is ideal, and the breakfast was good. The room was basic, but clean, so housekeeping gets a thumbs up. The whole hotel felt cold and pretty tired, and it needs updating. We should also give the school group who stayed on Friday night some credit. The pupils were polite and well behaved, even when their teachers weren’t around. Well done to them and their teachers. We could have had an amazing view of the Liverpool building and the mersey, but condensation covered the glazing so badly we couldn’t see out. Just back from the weekend.

I’m changing my positive review because both stays have been unacceptably noisy. There were doors slamming, TVs, music and guests shouting. On my first visit, staff moved me to a lovely quiet room. This time they assured me I’d been given a quiet room, but the whole 9th floor sounded like student halls. I’d offered to pay for an upgrade and was told it wouldn’t be needed. I don’t know what that was about. My room had a badly broken table that sent wine and tea over my clothes, and there were loud fire doors in the corridor as well as noisy TVs and room doors. Asking to move again was a hassle I shouldn’t have had to deal with. The replacement room had a nice view and was better, but still noisy. The old heater/AC didn’t work properly, and the room wasn’t made up as requested for night two. If this is normal for Atlantic Tower, I won’t be able to stay again. I used to love the mid century modern architecture that looks like an ocean liner, the views of the Liver Building, and being close to the city centre and docks. On that visit, Kike and her colleagues at Reception went out of their way to move me to a quiet room, and the staff really cared about my stay. The beds were clean and comfortable. I’d said I was definitely staying again.

We paid £43 for the room only offer, which was fantastic, but skipped breakfast at £16 each. There are lots of nearby cafes for breakfast, including greggs. Parking close by was really handy, though £14 for 24 hours felt steep; £10 would have been more reasonable. The place is starting to show its age, but it’s still very high quality. The location is perfect.
