How do the complimentary extra beds in the room work?

Many of the room types at each of our hotels offer an extra bed (or beds) in the room at no extra cost. Please be aware that the complimentary extra beds differ in size and type from the standard beds in the room, and range from pull-out camp beds to fold-out chair beds and sofa beds.

Do you offer breakfast?

We offer breakfast with a difference. We don’t operate our own restaurant at the hotel, instead, we partner with local restaurants, cafés and bakeries to offer you a choice of offers and discounts at some of our favourite places that serve breakfast close by. Many of our hotels also offer the option of a breakfast delivery service to your room, so you can enjoy breakfast in the comfort of your room using the items from your mini kitchen. Please note that at present there may be a reduced selection of local food at our different locations.

Can I bring my own food, or order food in?

Yes, you can! Your self-sufficient in-room mini kitchen features a fridge and prep space, so you can store and prepare food at your leisure. You’re more than welcome to bring food with you, order in using a food delivery app, or our team can stock your fridge with any items you request before your arrival or during your stay. If you would like our team to help with items prior to your arrival, we charge the cost of the items purchased, plus VAT and taxes.

Do you offer gift vouchers?

Yes, we do! We sell online gift vouchers (from £50), which can be redeemed at any of our hotels – and can be personalised with a message. Find out more and treat someone special today.

Absolutely. If you or your colleagues stay regularly for business in London or Liverpool, we would love to host you, and can offer competitive corporate rates to match your requirements. To find out more email sales@residenthotels.com.

Do you offer meeting spaces?

All our hotels have a refurbished lounge, with most offering different seating options that you can either plug in and work or relax and have a coffee and catch up with a colleague.
