    For the price, the rooms were a little small with no window. But it was bank holiday weekend so it worked out better value than elsewhere.

    The hotel was in a very good location and the rooms were spotless. Air conditioning worked great. Staff were very friendly.

    Nothing. I'll accept the bargain price for a windowless room ( which ive found sometimes if you have a window on a city break, you are staring at a brick wall 10 feet away).

    The room was bright and very clean. It was very small but there is ample shelf room for your gear. It's also a short walk to the Albert docks and the city centre. The room was also windowless below ground level. It's the first city break I've had in Liverpool and I would certainly stay here again. Excellent value.

    Only one set of plug sockets which were low down so you had to put the kettle on the floor and was nowhere near the bed so you couldn’t use your phone whilst charging it.

    Easy to find, very clean, good air conditioning, value for money, close proximity to the venue I was visiting and the train station.

    Good budget hotel

    If you are looking for something spacious or romantic then you will need to look elsewhere but you will also need to pay a lot more. This is better suited to solo business travellers or people just wanting a bed for the night after a concert or football game.

    This is a budget hotel with small rooms but when all you need is a place to sleep it's great. It's clean, well priced and the staff are friendly.

    You get what you pay for. We just needed a place to sleep so not expecting anything fancy. If you want a rooms with windows it's not for you. Was aware of this when booking so not problem

    It's basic but clean. Ideal location. We just needed a bed for the night. Ideal. Staff were friendly. Little bar at reception good for a night cap and some midnight snacks.

    The rooms were definitely not soundproof, you could hear conversations of other guests through the walls and door

    The location of the property was a good one in town centre and on a quiet street. The room was clean, shower good and bed was comfortable. Staff checking us in were friendly and when I asked for another pillow it was given to me really quickly

    The wifi was unusable and there was hardly any cell reception, the TV barely worked (sound and picture choppy and there was only a couple of working channels. The hot water was barely lukewarm even when I left it to heat up for a while. Bed was on the harder side. I didn't mind too much having no phone or wifi for one evening but it wouldn't be good in any kind of emergency as there is no phone in the room either, so if you fell over or had a heart attack it wouldn't be good.

    It was as I expected for the price, the room had everything you would need for a short stay where you're not expecting to be in your hotel much.

    The reception was unmanned when we arrived and we had to wait a good twenty minutes but when she turned up she explained there was a problem at one of the other sites and apologised which is fair enough. It’s very easy to get lost in the maze of corridors; it would have been nice to have the exit signed from all round the halls. Some of the room number signs are a little bit misleading - with the odd absent range.

    I liked that the location of the Hotel meant that I discovered some parts of the city that I have missed; when I usually stay around James Street or Matthew Street. The room was very compact but this was good as the air conditioning cooled it down nice and quick. The tea/coffee and Lotus biscuits were a nice touch. The complex looked fairly clean. Bed was nice and comfy.

    I think the air conditioning unit not working and there being no windows or other sources of air was a bit claustrophobic. The rooms without windows were quite warm and could have really done with air circulation. I did find a mini fan unit that I got working which sorted it in a fix but the remote was very complicated for me and didnt seem to respond to any buttons pressed

    I thought the room served a purpose and for a low budget trip I couldnt ask for more really. It was quite hard to find initially, but it's walking distance to albert docks so was great location
