I had recently been invited to try out an overnight stay at easyHotel in a location of my choice. With so many different easyHotel locations to choose from such as:

Belfast
Birmingham
Edinburgh
Glasgow
Ipswich
Leeds
Liverpool
London
Manchester
Milton Keynes
Newcastle
Reading
Sheffield

I was spoilt for choice! In the end, I opted for their Liverpool location as I hadn’t been back to Liverpool in over 7 years and I felt that it was a good opportunity for me to visit Liverpool again and to go exploring.

Prior to my visit, I had explained that I am deaf and one of the things that worries me whenever I visit somewhere new, especially in a hotel overnight, is what if there’s an emergency and I am unable to hear what is going on? (For those that might be confused by this, I take my hearing aids out to sleep due to comfort and plus, who wants to hear whistling sounds all through the night!?) I was reassured that the staff at the hotel would be made aware of this and was pleasantly surprised when I arrived…

I began my journey from Leeds to Liverpool and took the train and was in Liverpool Lime Street station in around 90 or so minutes? Not too bad! One thing that I remembered from my previous visit to Liverpool was that it was cold. Very cold. This visit was no exception! I made my way from Liverpool Lime Street station and followed my maps app and decided to walk to easyHotel so that I could take in the sights and get familiar with my surroundings. I arrived at the hotel roughly 15 minutes later so in terms of the distance from the station, the location is perfect! easyHotel is set in the heart of Liverpool with many iconic features such as The Royal Liver Building, Royal Albert Dock, Liverpool ONE and the Cavern Club which is a historic piece in Liverpool’s history and is famed for kickstarting The Beatles career! Also, the Cavern Club is just 1 block away from easyHotel so no excuse not to go visit!

I arrived at easyHotel a little after 3pm which is their check-in time and was shown up to my room where I had been given a ‘DeafGard’. Now, this was the first time I had ever come across a device like this but the lovely host explained what it was and how these devices are linked up to the fire alarm so that if a fire ever did occur, the DeafGard would make a very loud siren and would also flash very brightly. She also mentioned that my room was the first on the list to evacuate should a fire occur or any emergencies happen and this was incredibly reassuring. I am lucky to be able to travel around for my blog but this was the first time that I had ever had a device like this and the reassurance to know that they would come to me first. It might not be a big deal to some, but for a deaf person like myself and many others out there, this is absolutely what is needed to make an overnight stay completely relaxing!

My room itself was small but cosy, minimal but functional, basic but fuss-free but most importantly, the bed was comfortable. The rooms at easyHotel also come with a TV at an additional cost, an en-suite shower room, and fitted with air-conditioning/heating.

Once I had unpacked I then explored a slice of what Liverpool had to offer and made my way over to Liverpool ONE (this is a shopping centre for those of you who aren’t familiar and was about 2 minutes down the road from the hotel!), took a stroll over to Albert Dock and then walked along the River Mersey. I will be honest, it was absolutely throwing it down so I wasn’t able to explore as much as I had hoped given that it was so dull and dark! However, with that being said, it was refreshing and exciting to be in a place where I hadn’t been before in so long and made me question why I had left it so long to go back…

The following morning, I checked out at around 9.30am with their check-out time being 10am, however, can be extended to 1pm in some locations at an additional cost, to head back home to work. The checking in and checking out process was incredibly easy and quick and overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my stay! A big thank you to easyHotel for my gifted stay and for also accommodating to my deaf needs, I really appreciated it!
