The Municipal Hotel Liverpool - MGallery Collection
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Book it if you want a 5-star stay with a spa, pool and gym in central Liverpool and the price gap does not bother you. If you mainly need a good bed in town, our other two Liverpool picks score higher for about a quarter of the price.

The Municipal is our Luxury pick for Liverpool. It suits couples on a special trip, travellers who want to use a spa or pool after a day out, and families, since family rooms are listed. Pets are also tagged as allowed, though the rules need checking.
Value hunters should look elsewhere. In our Liverpool sample, this hotel's guest score is lower than both our Budget and Best Value picks, and it costs roughly four times as much. You are paying for the 5-star facilities, not for a better review score.
Location and getting around
The address is the Municipal Building on Dale Street, in the area listed as Liverpool Shopping District. Guests rate the location 9.5 out of 10 and say shops, restaurants and the docks are within walking distance.
Straight-line estimates put the Walker Art Gallery about 0.5 km away, around 6 minutes on foot. Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral is about 1.2 km, roughly 15 minutes, and Liverpool Cathedral about 1.5 km, around 19 minutes. These times have not been verified, so treat them as a guide.
Parking and arrival details are not confirmed in our data. If you are driving, ask the hotel about parking before you go.
What guests say
The score is 8.8 out of 10 from 5,554 reviews. Among the 10 eligible Liverpool properties we compared, it shared fifth place on review score, which is middle of the pack.
Staff get the warmest comments: friendly, helpful and professional, with a good welcome on arrival. The central position is the other recurring positive.
Breakfast divides opinion. Guests like the variety and taste, but often report food served lukewarm or slow service. The listed options are wide, including continental, full English or Irish, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, American and buffet.
Price and what you get against our other Liverpool picks
The reference price seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 for 2 adults was €287.24 per night. The Liverpool sample median was €85.33, so this is more than three times the median. It is not a live quote. Check today's price for your dates.
Our Budget pick, The Resident Liverpool, came in at €62.95 with a 9.2 score. Our Best Value pick, Citadines City Centre Liverpool, was €72.16 with a 9.1. Both are 4-star properties.
What the extra spend buys here is the 5-star rating, a spa and wellness centre, a pool, a gym and a restaurant, plus free Wi-Fi and air conditioning. If those facilities matter to your trip, the gap makes sense. If not, it is hard to justify.
