Hilton Liverpool is very nice, they're a client of mine and the location is spot on.
Parking in the multi-storey is expensive though.

Titanic is an interesting hotel and full of character but slightly out from centre but taxis are plentiful. Rooms are huge. Just check Liverpool or Everton aren’t playing st home as availability disappears and prices rocket. Stayed at indigo a couple of times and more central. Hilton nice and convenient for Albert Dock but Is a modern hotel.

Enjoy, Dave! An old gf's parents were at uni in Liverpool and saw the Beatles a few times in the Cavern. Very fond memories...

Well back from a fun packed eventful w/end in Liverpool.
The Hard Days Night Hotel was very central for what we wanted but we occupied a room overlooking the main street side and so was very noisy. A better choice would be an inboard room.
The room itself was adequate but nothing special. the hotel was fine. Decent food and bar not ridiculously expensive. I would stay there again but away from the main road.
Just around the corner was Mathews Street where the Cavern is situated and some great bars. The dock area where we took the Magical Mystery Tour was about 10 minutes walk away through shopping centres that keep the ladies occupied. The tour was good but maybe 15 minutes too long. They then gave us complimentary tickets to the Cavern which was good but we paid extra to go through to another part to watch 'The Beatles' themselves who were excellent
All in all a good weekend away and I would recommend it to those of a certain age - even though I am a Stones fan!
