The Best Budget-Friendly Hotels to Book in Liverpool
Headed to Liverpool on a budget? You may be strapped for cash, but that doesn’t mean you have to resign yourself to bunking up in a stranger-filled dorm, staying somewhere soulless or being far from attractions like the Albert Dock, Tate Liverpool and the Museum of Liverpool. We’ve found pocket-friendly places to do this UK port city in style – one is even good enough for Liverpool FC manager Jürgen Klopp. Read on for the best cheap hotels in Liverpool – all bookable with Culture Trip.
1. Hope Street Hotel, for celeb-spotting
Boutique Hotel
2. Lock and Key, for boutique design
Budget Hotel
You’ll have to be quick to bag a reservation at this budget hotel in Liverpool, which takes over a Georgian townhouse in the Ropewalks District. The 14 bedrooms all punch well above their price bracket with decadent designs that blend period style and contemporary comforts: think bespoke velvet headboards, scallop-shaped cocktail chairs, gleaming brass accents and dark painted woodwork. The restaurant/bar is a bit of a find, too, serving up all-day food and drink at very reasonable rates.
3. The Resident Liverpool, for self-catering savings
Suite Hotel
Rates may be low at this 19th-century cork warehouse-turned-aparthotel, but standards are high. Staff consistently get rave reviews for their helpful service, and bedrooms are well-maintained, spotlessly clean and have mini kitchens, just in case you want to stretch the budget further with a spot of self-catering. This cheap Liverpool hotel also earns a big tick in the location box: in the heart of the Ropewalks District, it is surrounded by bars and restaurants, some of which offer discounts for Resident guests.
5. Hard Days Night Hotel, for Beatles fans

6. Aloft Liverpool Hotel, for money-savvy millennials
Hotel
Looking for hotel deals in Liverpool? You can get some great weekday rates at this city-centre property, one of just four UK outposts of Marriott’s Aloft brand, which aims to attract millennial travellers with its streamlined technology and “stylish but affordable” approach. The urban-inspired design features high ceilings, big windows, platform beds and bright-orange beanbags. There’s also an in-house gym, restaurant, bar and snack shop.
7. Hotel Indigo Liverpool City Centre, for a splash of colour
Budget Hotel
Affordable luxury is the Indigo mantra, so rooms here don’t cost a fortune but come with the kind of perks you’d expect from a far pricier property, including rainfall showers, Aveda toiletries and free minibars. The interior designers went big and bold in their use of colour at this Liverpool budget hotel: each room rocks a different rainbow shade that’s carried through from murals featuring oversized images of cotton spools to vibrant cushions, rugs and coordinated tiling in the bathrooms.
8. The Liner Hotel, for theatre lovers
Hotel
Clean, comfortable and convenient, this cheap hotel in Liverpool is located in the heart of the bustling city. The hotel’s restaurant, Seven Seas Brasserie, offers delicious comfort food in a relaxed environment – try the classic Aberdeen Angus burger with bacon and cheese. With the Empire Theatre only two minutes’ walk away, this is the perfect place for pre-show dining and post-show drinks.
9. Heywood House Hotel, for excursions along the river

10. The Liverpool Inn Hotel, for a warm welcome
