Expert review of Liverpool Marriott Hotel City Centre
Great for the station.
Got an early train to catch? The Marriott hotel is a very short dash from the steps of Lime Street Station, so I find that what it lacks in character, it makes up for in convenience. Friendly staff, too.
Location:
Slap-bang in the middle of things: in fact, it overlooks Queen Square bus station. But it’s also great for the Royal Court Theatre, St George’s Hall and other cultural attractions.
Bedrooms:
There are 146 bedrooms here, and most of them are done in a classic, vaguely country house style. It’s not unpleasant, just incongruous in a building which opened in 1998. Rooms are all a decent size and well-equipped with desks, flat-screen TVs and wired internet connections, which are £15 per 24 hours. Bathrooms all have a bath, but aren’t desperately relaxing. Superior rooms have king size beds and a slightly more contemporary look. It’s best to be on the St John’s Lane side, where bedrooms overlook the gardens.

Public areas:
On the ground floor, the lounge is incorporated into the Vivacity coffee bar, with windows onto the square. It’s a pleasant enough spot to linger for half an hour.
Eating and drinking:
Breakfast is served in Oliver’s restaurant, where there’s a hot and cold buffet and a man who cooks omelettes to order. Dinner is served on Friday and Saturday nights, although with the city on the doorstep, it’s more tempting to go out.
Leisure facilities:
Leisure facilities are a great advantage in Liverpool and some people book because of the health club here, which incorporates a small pool, Jacuzzi, sauna and gym and a shop selling essentials for swimming, which is really handy in winter when trunks and goggles disappear from other shops. There’s a treatment room, too, perfect if you have limited time.
Service:
It's polite and friendly but fairly formal, which feels right for the Marriott’s guests.
