YHA Liverpool Central.
One of the cheapest budget options in Liverpool is also one of the best for party loving Beatles fans! Located on the historic nightlife mecca of Matthew Street, you only have to walk out of the building to be in the middle of a party at the weekend, and the famous Cavern Club is literally just down the street! Rooms and shared spaces are spotlessly clean and vibrantly decorated, and as well as the traditional dorm rooms travellers are used to, there are also private rooms with shared bathrooms or private rooms with en suite for not that much more. For travellers on a budget this is one of the best options. Book a room directly at the hotel’s website here.
Premier Inn Albert Dock.
The Premier Inn Albert Dock is a budget chain hotel that has all the basic comforts you would expect from a Premier Inn. It’s nothing fancy but does offer a good bed at a reasonable price. If that was all it had to it however it would not have made this list. The reason it does is its location, and the chance for travellers to stay in the iconic Albert Dock itself! There are architectural remnants of the old industrial building hidden amongst the bland corporate hotel decor, from the exposed brickwork to the arched eaves, but the view overlooking the legendary dock just outside your window cannot be beat! Book a room directly at the hotel’s website here.
Embassie Backpackers Hostel.
No that isn’t a typo, it’s how they spell it, but don’t worry so much about the name because the Embassie is a fantastic hostel offering a great, atmospheric place to stay at a decent price. Located in a 200 year old mansion in the Georgian quarter, all the shops and attractions of the city centre may be a five to ten minute walk away but it is worth staying here for the ambience alone. The usual amenities such as 24 hour desk and security, free wifi, shared kitchen and communal area are here as well as options for guided tours and free tickets to the Cavern Club. Book a room directly at the hotel’s website here.
The Resident Liverpool.
The Resident is a classy boutique hotel housed in a former warehouse building dating back to the 1800s. A lot of the original architecture is still evident, perfectly blended into the high end restoration and premium hand made decor, with original artwork adding an extra layer of character to this prime example of boutique luxury. There are a range of options for single travellers to whole families, and a mini kitchen is available in each room, making it a bit more useful than the average hotel but not quite putting it in the category of an aparthotel. Located just off the docks in the city’s Rope Walks area, it is only a short walk away from anything you need. Book a room directly at the hotel’s website here.
International Inn.
Located in a converted Victorian warehouse, this premier hostel is immaculately designed and appointed with the highest quality decor, with the aim of giving all travellers the best quality at the best possible price they offer room options at all budget levels, from shared dorms to private rooms and even luxury self contained apartments! The shared common areas are also really nice places to put your feet uop and relax, so if you want the hostel experience but also want to upgrade to a private room and flashpack for a while, the International Inn is a perfect option. Lime street station and all the shops and attractions are barely five minutes walk away. Book a room directly at the hotel’s website here.
Staybridge Suites Aparthotel.

For slow travellers or digital nomads who want long term accommodation in the city, the Staybridge Suites in Liverpool offer a unique blend of serviced apartment and hotel that gives you your own home away from home in a fantastic location. Located on Keel Wharf, right in between the Albert Dock and the Kings Dock, and with amazing views over the picturesque Wapping wharf and the Cathedral on one side and the rest of the iconic docks on the other, the location is absolutely perfect! Right in the heart of the city and close enough to all the shops, attractions and transport hubs, but removed from the hustle and bustle of the city centre by just a couple of minutes walk. At the higher end of a good mid range budget, each suite has an en suite bedroom, many with some great views over the docks, and a living area with attached kitchen.
