Awful noise
While the apartment is exactly as shown, clean tidy etc. What isn't mentioned is that it's above a pub in a party street. So, If you are looking for a good nights sleep after work (like me), look elsewhere. If you are here for a party in the middle of town, then a good choice

Hi there, we're happy to hear that you enjoyed the apartment. We do contact all guests prior to arrival to let them know that these apartments are in a vibrant area. We are sorry if you were not made aware of this. If you were to stay again, we would recommend staying at our Duke Street location as it is much quieter. We hope this did not cause too much of an inconvenience on your stay and apologise again. Kind regards, Ffion.

Overpriced and poorly maintained
The check in counter is in another building nowhere near the hotel. The room smelt funny and it was way overpriced for what it was. I wouldn’t stay here again

Stayed 1 night in Apr 2019
Response from Team Base. on 23 Apr 2019
Hi Saleh, I'm sorry you feel this way. Unfortunately we feel that your review is unfair and may be as a result of being banned from using our services due to excessive smoking in the apartment - particularly illegal substances. As you are aware, we have a strict no smoking policy and it is for this reason that we withheld security deposits when instances of smoking occur. In this instance we warned your party about smoking in the apartment on a number of occasions yet you repeatedly did so. This left us with no other option but to ban you from using BASE and to withhold a deposit to cover the cleaning costs of the apartment in question. We wish you all the best for the future. Regards, Team Base.

After check-out they called again to check that everything was as expected. Very professional & good Customer service. The apartment was comfortable & well equipped for an overnight or longer stay.

Cumberland Street Apartments
Cumberland Street apartments are lovely but opposite two nightclubs, which is fine for younger guests but not so good for older guests, so I would recommend staying in one of the apartments in a quieter area if you are older than that. Having said that the apartments are lovely, plenty of room, very clean and all the amenities you would need. I would definitely recommend Base Apartments.

Hi Iris, thank you for staying with Base and for leaving your feedback. We completely agree with you. Our Cumberland Street location is perfect for a vibrant city stay for those looking for nightlife and bars. We do have other areas in the city centre such as Duke Street which are in more much quiet, residential locations and would be more suitable for a family visit. Once again thanks for your feedback we hope to see you again soon. Regards, Rebecca.

The apartments themselves are very well kept and clean. Although mine was up four flights of stairs! Location within Liverpool is good, although there's no double glazing in the windows so you can hear the bar/club opposite clearly into the night! Check-in procedure wasn't clear during booking - you get the keys from a location which is a 30min walk away...

Great location if you don't mind the noise.
Hmmm - opposite a pretty noisy drag club, and with the weather and no air conditioning we had a choice of boiling or noise. We went for the noise which persisted to the wee hours of the morning. This particular apartment had two rooms - one facing the street with the club, and one at the back of the building which was significantly quieter. We had teen kids with us, so they got the quiet room and we managed to sleep with the noise. Apartment was spotless and had all facilities we needed.

Hi Peter, thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We're glad you enjoyed your stay with Base and we are deeply sorry about the noise. As you know we now advertise our Cumberland Street apartments as our most vibrant location due to the noise, however excessive noise is unacceptable and this is something we are addressing with the club. I do apologise if this affected your stay and we hope to see you again soon - maybe at one of our other city centre locations. Thanks, Rebecca.

Great budget location Liverpool city centre!
We stayed at Base apartments as we were in town for a gig. They were amazing value for money, really clean and in a great location. You have to collect keys from a central office which is the only reason I gave a 4 not a 5, however this was close by so wasn't too inconvenient. This is a great budget place to stay, cheaper than any hotel we could find (that didn't look really grotty) and with the convenience of a kitchen etc - a really great find and we'll definitely stay again.

excellent location for Bars,restaurants, nightlife shopping etc etc ideal for couples and adults, not suitable for families as nightclubs next door on street. Stayed with four friends.. would highly recommend.. only issue why not issue each adult with a four digit number for keypad as only one fob key per room, makes it awkward for freedom of access when sharing.

Nice flat but inconvenient checkin/out
The apartment itself was nice and tidy with the exception of a slightly smoky smell in the entryway of the flat. However everything else was very tidy. The issue here though, as others have mentioned, is the distance between the check-in office and the actual flat. I think staff should either meet guests outside the flat or at the least provide a car service from the office to the flats as its a bit ridiculous to have to get a cab or walk with heavy bags just to collect keys. Also, a key drop box would be more convenient rather than returning all the way across town again to check out. The check out time is also a bit early as most hotels/apartments tend to do 11am, especially considering the checkout office is across town.

Good value
The basics were well covered with the exception of WiFi; a mobile data dongle was available reception at an extra cost. The kitchenette was clean and the applicances were working. The couches sunk quite a bit when sat in and the bed was very creaky. A noisy bar across the way close around 11pm each night but with a central location you shouldn't expect a very quite night anyway.

A great alternative to a hotel room
If you are working, the apartments are a great alternative to a hotel room, with much more room and a complete kitchen while saving money. I know these apartments have mixed reviews, but, this is my second stay in them and I will book again next week. The apartments I stayed in were all large, with plenty of room to be comfortable for an extended stay, on the negative side, they are starting to look a bit shabby in places and are short of hanging space and coat hangers, but the Kitchen has everything you need, with a cooker, microwave, fridge freezer and dishwasher. The location is both good and bad, it is a few minutes walk from all the main areas, shopping, restaurants and business areas, but it is down an alley way which looks dingy and can be noisy. The administration staff are friendly and helpful, however, the 15 minute walk to collect your key and the £150 deposit to stay are both a right pain in the proverbial. Having said all of that, I will definitely stay again, having the luxury of a large space to stay and work way outweighs any negatives.

Reception was very friendly and ready to help. Very comfortable apartment. Location, very close to the city's main shopping centre, was very convenient. However, the introduction of pick-up and drop-off vehicles is Neccesary for the convenience of traveling guests because of the distance from the office and the apartment. Overall, it was an enjoyable stay.

Not fantastic but not half bad
The apartment was very nice - I was upgraded to a two bedroom and both bedrooms, bathroom and especially the kitchen were spotlessly clean. There were signs of damage from previous guests, but nothing that anybody would make a fuss about and everything worked fine bar the TV - the batteries were missing from the remote which meant the volume couldn't easily be controlled, and the signal for the digital stations wasn't great. My only other complaint would be the lack of lamps - I had to either bring the two tiny bedsides into the living room or leave the main light on all the time as the place was dark. It's also worth knowing that these apartments are a significant walking distance from the office where you check in and there are no lifts - I had a large suitcase and struggled both to find the place in under twenty minutes and also carry my luggage up the stairs to the second floor. Otherwise it was fine, but I'm not sure whether I would return or book one of the company's other buildings which was closer.
