The Days Inn City
Centre Liverpool is a 154-room budget hotel set in the heart of Liverpool right next to
James Street station. Location could hardly be more convenient for exploring
the city center and well as providing super-easy access to the docks district.
Lobby, rooms, and restaurant are all modern and pretty basic, with bright teal and wood laminate decor, but more than serve their
purpose. Buffet breakfast is available for a fee, and Wi-Fi is free. While noise from the station isn't an issue, the odd boisterous
weekender can sometimes be heard between rooms. Overall, it's a solid option for
a good value hotel in a convenient central setting.

Scene
Functional no-frills chain hotel set embedded alongside train station
The Days Inn City
Centre Liverpool was opened alongside the James Street MerseyRail station in
2011 and shares the same seven-story, glass and metal-fronted modern block. Stepping
inside, the small and surprisingly quiet reception area is decked out in the
chain's signature turquoise and pale green, while two elevators whisk guests to one of six floors. The atmosphere is functional and efficient, if a
little transient, with little in the way of public spaces or unnecessarily
frills. It provides a no-nonsense, clean, and convenient place to stay for a
steady stream of business guests during the week, and budget-conscious tourists and the odd group of partiers at weekends.
Location
Very central location within minutes' of the dock district and city center shopping
The hotel is
located on a city street in the heart of Liverpool, right next to the James
Street train station and a few minutes' walk from the dock district. The
location is obviously excellent for those arriving by the MerseyRail line,
while also convenient for easy access on foot to all of Liverpool's city center
attractions. Shoppers find themselves just a block away from the huge Liverpool
One retail and leisure center and five minutes' walk from the hallowed Cavern
Club. The Liverpool Pier Head Ferry Terminal -- with boats to the Isle of Man
-- is about a half-mile away, while John Lennon Airport is 20 to 30 minutes by car.
Rooms
Simple, functional rooms with air-conditioning and free Wi-Fi
The hotel has 154
rooms, all of which are decorated in fresh, modern tones of gray and turquoise, simple wood-veneer
furnishings, and carpeted floors. Rooms are air-conditioned with free Wi-Fi,
tea and coffee stations, and flat-screen TVs, while bathrooms are relatively
spacious with stall showers though with wall-mounted soap dispensers. Although many rooms sit over
the station, soundproofing keeps outside noise to the minimum (though there have been reports of noise between rooms due to rowdy weekenders).
Features
First floor bar-restaurant offering morning breakfast and all-day refreshments
The hotel serves
an all-you-can-eat buffet breakfast each morning in its first-floor restaurant,
though it is not included in the rate and there are also a la carte options.
Light meals and drinks are also available throughout the day. Wi-Fi is
available free of charge throughout the hotel though there's no parking
on-site.
