Cosy hotel in excellent central Liverpool location
Cosy hotel in excellent location for central Liverpool. The staff were really helpful and welcoming, the room was comfortable but the shower wasn't very powerful and tended to leak out of the shower base which could get annoying if staying longer than a couple of days.
lovely hotel, very friendly staff in the hotel and the bar, couldnt do enough for you, great location, cool part of town away from the usual idiots, recommendations for dinner in a near by market which was amazing!

Very welcoming staff. Room very clean and fresh but felt a little tired. Would not hesitate to recommend for a wee short break. Central so very handy for our Liverpool visit.
The property was lovely, the lady on reception was nice and welcoming when we arrived. The room was modern and easy to relax in, we just couldn't get the heating on but the lady on reception was amazing again and provided a portable heater. The beds are very comfortable and overall we had a great stay :)
