My experience staying at the hotel
I only stayed for one night in the Leonardo Hotel (formerly the Jurys Inn Liverpool) but I was very glad I did.
There was everything I needed available in my room like a hairdryer and a kettle and tea bags. My room was clean and bright, the curtains were very thick and made the room completely dark when I had them closed.
But my absolute favourite part about the hotel is the location. I enjoyed the sunset at the Albert docks and afterwards, I was in my hotel room within a few minutes walk. So it’s a great location for anyone wanting to explore Liverpool.
