Review summary

Based on recent reviews

The Urban Pod Hotel Liverpool is appreciated for its convenient location, a short walk from the city centre and attractions like The Cavern on Mathew Street. Guests often highlight the well-equipped rooms, which include a microwave, plates, and cutlery - a useful touch for preparing simple meals. The complimentary breakfast snacks in the reception area are a plus for many, although some guests have found the basement rooms to be a bit dark due to small windows. Many guests found the beds comfy, as well as the availability of tea and coffee in the rooms.

Adequate stay, some minor issues

useful microwave convenient location small room uncomfortable bed

The location was convenient. It was a short walk to the places I wanted to see. The room had a microwave and plates. This was useful for heating up leftovers, this helped me save money on meals.

The room was very small. There was not enough space for my luggage. The bed was also not that comfortable. The mattress seemed old.

The room included tea and coffee making facilities. There were also cornflakes and fruits available in the lobby, and I found that a nice touch. The neighborhood was quiet, and that provided a restful experience. City center and trains are within walking distance. I appreciated the convenient location!

The window in the room was a little difficult to close securely.
