A cost-effective lodging option can be challenging to find nowadays, and selecting a budget-friendly hotel may result in subpar comfort or inconvenient locations. However, in Liverpool, one hotel is defying this trend by providing centrally located, modern, and comfortable accommodations starting at just £62 per night.
The Resident in Liverpool has earned the top ranking in TripAdvisor’s list of the 10 Best Affordable Hotels in the UK for 2026. It also holds the title of the best hotel in Liverpool out of 623 properties, and in May, it garnered a Tripadvisor Traveller Choice Award due to its consistently outstanding reviews.
Housed in a converted 1800s warehouse, The Resident boasts a stylish, contemporary interior while preserving the building’s original character. Instead of offering extensive amenities like fitness centers and restaurants that often go unused, the hotel prioritizes cozy and well-appointed rooms. With a focus on blending comfort with British design, the rooms feature crisp linens, plush cushions, and additional amenities such as toiletries and Nespresso machines.
Although lacking an on-site restaurant, The Resident’s central location in Liverpool’s vibrant Ropewalk neighborhood provides easy access to a plethora of dining options. Guests can even have breakfast delivered from Deliveroo. Nearby, the Duke Street Food & Drink Market offers a diverse culinary experience from around the world.
Just a short walk from the Royal Albert Dock, which houses cultural attractions like Tate Liverpool and the Beatles Story Museum, The Resident is conveniently located near Liverpool Central station, making car-free weekends easily feasible. Despite its proximity to lively nightlife in the Ropewalk area, guests can enjoy a peaceful night’s rest as one reviewer noted the quiet ambiance within the rooms.
For those seeking evening entertainment, the area offers various options including the Heebie Jeebies bar and club, known for live music and DJ events, or the themed Alcotraz cocktail bar where guests can indulge in jail-themed cocktails while dressed in orange prison jumpsuits.
