The Dolby Hotel

I loved almost everything about this small quaint hotel. It was my first time in Liverpool and after a long flight from the US and a car ride from London Heathrow, I was glad to see the bed in my room. I was in town for the Liverpool Rock n’ Roll Marathon. It was a last minute decision and I was fortunate to find such an affordable room near the start and finish lines of the race.
Pros:
1. Excellent friendly front desk
2. Comfortable bed
3. They sell power adapters in their vending machine
4. Plenty of parking
5. Convenient location, located near Albert Dock
6. Affordable rates
Cons:
1. Teeny tiny bathroom. If you tried to turn in the shower, your elbow will for sure hit the wall.
2. If you’re sitting on the can, you probably can’t shut the door as there’s no room for both of your legs and feet!
The pros definitely outweighed the cons, so I wouldn’t mind staying here again in the future if I’m looking for something cheap, convenient, and nothing too fancy.

Good location, friendly staff, and the bar is open til 1 AM.
The prices were OK, not spectacular.
That being said, the room was horrible and cramped with a tiny wet room instead of a proper bathroom. If you’ve never experienced a wet room before, this basically means that the whole bathroom gets wet when you take a shower. The walls were paper thin, and the other guests were loud and obnoxious at all hours of the night. We will never book this hotel again.

As far as budget hotels go, Dolby certainly does have a fantastic location. While it doesn’t carry the umph of a dolby digital stereo surround sound, it does make up for that in terms of its accessibility. The rooms are going here at alarmingly low rates, between £40-£50. Given as I said the location that is fantabulous!!!
It does have a no frills feel to it but then again it is low budget is it not. People traveling in large groups would probably fancy it here. Even those who have splashed out on the better seats at the Echo for a concert, and are looking for a cheaper over night option this really is perfect. If you are not a citizen of pretention city you definitely will not mind staying at this humble abode.

I don’t think the Dolby Hotel is part of the Accor hotel group but it’s very similar to the Etap and Formule 1 hotels in the group. It’s excellent value for money– costs about £48 during the week for a room that sleeps up to three people and £58 at the weekend for a triple room. I think it costs even less during low season. Given the price of the hotel you can’t expect luxury but it is good value for money. The room was impeccably clean as was the bathroom and the service was excellent.

Does what it says on the tin. Budget hotel on the docks. I stayed here with my friend, we were surprised to find bunk beds one one the floor facing out with another cabin-​type bed above. The bathroom was like a caravan bathroom. The shower was over the toilet and the whole place got soaked. There was also no real wall, it was plastic. So you could hear everything clearly.
We had dinner there one night and it was ok, nothing special and well priced. They do not have phones in the rooms or do room service. We tried to buy a bottle of wine when we got back at night at they don’t have a bar, but you can buy alcohol in the restaurant with dinner, confusing!
If you want luxury, AVOID! But it’s well placed (next to a casino!) and cheap as chips for budget travellers.
