Liverpool Aigburth Hotel, Sure Hotel Collection by Best Western

The 41 guest rooms have big comfortable beds, flat-screen televisions, tea and coffee making facilities and en suite bathrooms.

It is an old building with bags of character although some people say that it feels a little tired. The decor in the rooms makes the most of the building’s heritage aspect and it features rich colours like burgundy, purple and gold (which vary depending on which room you’re staying in).

The Hallmark Grill is the hotel’s in-house restaurant and this is a nice spot for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The restaurant is also a lovely setting for afternoon tea, although it is a tad pricey compared with afternoon tea elsewhere in Liverpool. Room service is available 24 hours.

Free Wi-Fi wireless internet access is available throughout the hotel.

The hotel has ample free parking, which makes it a great option if you’re driving. However, public transport into the city centre is not as good as other suburban hotels in Liverpool. Although there are closer bus stops to the hotel, bus routes 27 and 75 (which depart near the corner of Croxteth Road and Sefton Park Road, around a six-minute walk from the hotel) are the most convenient with buses on both routes running into the city centre running every 10 minutes. Bus 27 is a quicker journey (around 16 minutes to Liverpool One bus station) but route 75 can be more convenient as it makes more stops in the city centre. It is also possible to walk into the city centre in around 50–60 minutes

It is a good option if you’re looking to stay somewhere with character and don’t mind staying outside the city centre.
