Visiting Liverpool in 2026 is an adventure for all ages. Whether you are bringing the kids to see the Disney Dream at the waterfront, taking a pilgrimage to Anfield, or exploring the World Museum, choosing the right hotel is all about balancing space, location, and kid-friendly amenities.
However, for families of five or more, the logistics of getting from the airport or station to a city-centre hotel can be tricky. Standard taxis often only carry 4 passengers, forcing families to split up into two cars. At Manpool Transfers, we specialise in keeping the family together in our spacious 8-seater minibuses.
Top Family & Group Recommendations for 2026
- The Shankly Hotel: A firm favourite for football-loving families and larger groups. Known for its massive “party rooms” that can sleep up to 8 or 10 people in high-spec comfort, it’s located right in the heart of the city on Victoria Street.
- The Manpool Tip: With so many guests often staying in one room, the luggage pile can be enormous. Our minibuses have extra-large boots designed specifically for group gear.
- Staybridge Suites (Albert Dock): For families who prefer a “home from home” experience. These apartment-style suites come with fully equipped kitchens and separate living areas. Located right next to the M&S Bank Arena, it’s the perfect base for 2026 concert-goers.
- Novotel Liverpool Paddington Village: One of the city’s newest and most modern hotels. It offers fantastic “Superior Family Rooms” with two single trundle beds for the kids and a king-size for the parents. Plus, the views from the upper floors across the city and the Mersey are unbeatable.
Why Families Book Manpool
- One Vehicle, One Price: Don’t pay for two separate city taxis. Our 8-seater minibuses allow the whole family (and all the pushchairs, car seats, and suitcases) to travel in one vehicle for a single, fixed price.
- Safety & Car Seats: We understand that safety is your number one priority. You are welcome to bring your own car seats, or with prior notice, we can ensure we have the right equipment ready for your arrival.
- The “Stress-Free” Arrival: After a long flight or train journey, the last thing kids want is to wait in a taxi queue. Your Manpool driver will meet you at the arrivals hall or platform, assist with the bags, and get you straight to your hotel check-in.
Beyond the Hotel: Family Day Trips
Planning to visit the Knowsley Safari Park or take a “Fairytale Tour” to Conwy Castle? We don’t just do hotel transfers. Our Cruise & Tours service is available for families staying in the city who want a private, flexible day out without the hassle of public transport.
