Melrose Abbey Guesthouse
Kitchen rooms near Kirkdale, six minutes from Anfield
About this hotel
Melrose Abbey Guesthouse sits a short taxi ride from Anfield and, more usefully for a multi-night visit, three minutes' walk from Kirkdale station, giving easy onward access around the city beyond matchday itself. Free Wi-Fi is included, and some rooms come with a kitchen, a genuine advantage for fans self-catering over a longer stay rather than eating out every single meal on top of match tickets and travel costs. The property keeps things smoke-free throughout, and the rooms stay quiet even on a full matchday weekend. The Lion Liverpool, a well-known pub reachable by a short taxi ride, is the option for a proper pre-match pint away from the immediate stadium crush, before heading over by taxi in good time for kickoff.
- Kitchen in some rooms

- Six minutes to Anfield
Our take
This suits fans staying several nights who want a kitchen to cut costs, and who are happy with a short taxi ride to Anfield in exchange for easy access to Kirkdale station for exploring the city. It is a practical rather than glamorous base. Anyone wanting to walk straight to the ground should look at a closer property on this list.
- Use the kitchen for at least one meal if staying more than two nights, it saves money
- Book a taxi ahead for kickoff rather than trying to hail one on the day
- Try The Lion Liverpool for a pre-match pint before heading to the ground

Why guests love itHaving a kitchen in the room made a real difference over a three-night stay, we cooked breakfast twice and saved a decent amount compared with eating out every meal. Kirkdale station being so close meant we explored the city on the days without a match, and the short taxi ride to Anfield on matchday itself was no trouble at all.
