The Boot Rooms
A minute from Arkles, six minutes from Anfield
About this hotel
The Boot Rooms sits close enough to the ground that the walk to Anfield is measured in single-digit minutes rather than a taxi fare, and The World Famous Arkles, the pub every local fan already knows, is close enough to reach in one minute on foot. That combination makes it a natural pre-match base: settle in at Arkles for the build-up, walk the rest of the way to the turnstiles, then reverse the route once the whistle goes rather than fighting for transport with everyone else leaving at once. The property's review score reflects a stay that does the basics well on a street built around matchday rather than passing tourist trade.
- Six minutes to Anfield
- One minute to Arkles
- Walk-up location
Our take
This is a strong pick for fans prioritising the walk-up experience and a proper pre-match pub over hotel extras, since the location does most of the work. Groundhoppers who want to be in and out on foot without touching transport will get the most from it. Anyone wanting an on-site restaurant or bar should look elsewhere, as none is listed here.
- Get to Arkles well before kickoff, it fills fast on a big fixture
- Walk rather than book a taxi, the ground is closer than it looks on a map
- Leave promptly after the whistle to beat the crowd on the same walking route
Why we love it
- One minute from The World Famous Arkles

Why guests love itBeing able to walk from the pub to the turnstiles in under ten minutes changed how the whole day felt. We had a pint at Arkles beforehand with the rest of the away end, walked over in plenty of time, and were back before the crowds thinned out on the main road. There is nothing flashy about the place, but for getting to and from a match on foot it did exactly what we needed.
