    There was a really strong plumbing smell when you reached the bottom floor. Unfortunately you could feel the springs of the mattress and the pillows were of different quality, one was much flatter than the other. There was a tv but the remote didn’t work to turn it on. There was an a/c unit but no remote for it. Thankfully the room temp wasn’t too bad. There was a tiny heater if you needed to add warmth in. There was a constant whirring/buzzing noise that never stopped. The smoke alarm light kept flashing red intermittently which made it harder to fall asleep. And the doors weren’t quiet shutting at all so any guests coming in late made a noise.

    The location was ideal. The pod was cleaned well. Staff were pleasant. The shower worked well. This place is ideal if you only plan to put your head down after a night out or if you bring earplugs which i accidentally forgot!

    Bargain find in Liverpool
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveler
    • Standard Double Room (Without Windows)

    Stubbing my toe while stumbling out of bed in the dark was the worst thing about my stay … just about everything else is highly recommended.

    Less than 40 quid to stay in the heart of Liverpool on a Friday night was a bargain. Just around the corner from all the night life - great to see so many mostly young people enjoying themselves. Hotel just behind Dale Street looks fairly new. Very easy check-in with vending machines in reception. Downstairs through a maze of corridors to small, basic but cozy windowless room. Rooms are tightly packed and I heard a phone conversation from my next door until I switched by noise cancelling headphones. The ‘pod’ is all u need for one person - a tighter squeeze for two people tho! Bed is wide & comfy with two pillows and space underneath to store bags - could do with a bed shelf to park your phone or cuppa . And needs a reading spotlight in addition only room light. There’s a good size TV on wall next to air con unit controlled by wall control. I could not switch it on but room temp was ok anyway. There’s also a wooden unit to hang your clothes and a kettle with cups to make tea/coffee/hot chocolate provided - but no biscuits. But there is a hairdryer. Spartan bathroom with small cubicle shower with tons of hot water … too hot because I found the shower temperature impossible to control with danger of scalding - room 123 needs fixing!

    As soon as you opened the corridor door you could smell my room, the smell could only be discribed as damp mould as if the place had flooded and left, which wasnt a great to say the least. When asked if I could swap rooms I was told I couldn't as they were full. Luckily I had only booked the place to sleep as was out for drinks. When back in the room the smell was awful. The room was not soundproof as stated as could here everything being said and done from all rooms around mine through till morning. I decided to check out at 06:30 as soon as I woke due to the smell, unfortunately when getting dressed and going home all my belongings, clothes and bag smelt exactly the same! Not good.

    Shower did not work first night. No windows. Poor ventilation.

    It was just a basic room to crash for the night. Felt it was expensive for a place just to sleep and freshen up.

    It's a great place to stay. Loved the location of the hotel as it's only a 10 minute walk to concert square. The staff here are great and makes you feel at home. I was here only for one night but would definitely come back!

    The staff are very friendly, always soneone on the front desk shoud you need anything.The rooms are ideal if you just need a place to sleep and are out and about most of the day. Only negatives I can say is that the shower is extremely small, similar to what you'd find in a cabin on a ferry, and the pillows were very hard, but that may suit some more than others. The room was very clean.
