Look, I would stay there again although unlikely at full price. It’s clear what they want to do and that is align with the hip, music scene that is Liverpool and the general vibe of the Baltic. That’s cool and I like it.
The rooms are modern, well equipped. Not overly spacious but enough in the confines of a not square space.
I didn’t have a huge level of engagement with staff as I was only there one night - they were friendly.
Security seems to be a bit of an oxymoron. On the one hand, your key card can’t open the front door so if you arrive out of hours during your stay, you’d better hope reception hasn’t gone elsewhere for a while!
On the flip side, the key card readers which allow you into the lifts or into the room areas on each floor seem to be there for show only… you can walk straight through without swiping which, although a small detail, is one they might want to sort out.
The room wasn’t overly warm to be honest even when I managed to put the radiator on and the curtain on the one side did not cover the whole of the window.
All in all, it’s nice. Modern, hip, maybe even quirky. Decent location, well equipped. But all of the small things above add up to just dilute from fully enjoying it.
