Absolute joke of a venue … on hotels websites but treat you like a baby even though you’re paying over the odds rates. No room keys as they say people taking … no towels as they say people stealing … then they want to charge £4 per person not even as a deposit but as compensation after you’ve paid £90+ for a room. Yes it’s listed as a hostel but should not be on a hotel comparison website … truly pathetic imo. Staff just laugh as you if you question anything … banging noise all morning in corridors … stay well away if you think it’s a hotel 😡

£78 one the night for the hostel (twin room) was the most I’d pay. I took my own towels but £4 a towel to borrow is terrible. Very noisy people banging doors. Was quite clean but worn it’s a historic building the worlds first ever YMCA (the receptionist didn’t know that!) Bed was comfortable but pillow was lumpy. Good central location. Mount pleasant car park is opposite.

The layout of the room was quite unsafe, I think, since there was little room to move in and out of the bed pods and with little space to store luggage, it became a tripping hazard at night. I did appreciate the privacy curtains though. The room itself was quite filthy (used tissues, dirt/dust, unemptied trash, etc.) though the bathrooms were a bit better. The location is fairly close to the train station and is a short walk from the main shopping centers, though it's quite far from the airport. It lists laundry facilities as being available for guests, but that consists of a single washer and dryer for the entire building which requires a token that doesn't work most of the time. The cycles take a long time and apparently the check-in staff is not notified when the machines are out of commission. The building looks great from the outside, but sits next to a student accommodation, so it's quite noisy at night.

This was a basic accommodation. Some staff were very good some not. The view was of a litter-filled yard and the brick building opposite. No car park available The room had paint peeling from walls. VERY expensive for what it was. It wouldn’t take much to clear the litter or paint the walls. Breakfast (at extra cost) was advertised but not available as ‘she had phoned in sick’ It felt like the building and business were probably owned by a landlord who only cared about the money, not really bothered about the notion of service.

Easy check in and check out. Talkative and friendly staff. Room great for the price.

I stayed in an 8 bed dorm room. The first room I refused to stay in because it stunk of BO and damp, wet towels on the windowsills and really dark. Was moved to another dorm which was better but the whole building is damp. Mildew on the walls and ceilings, smelly and unloved. Receptionist couldn't be bothered to look up when I checked out. I slept well and the croissants were great in the morning, but I won't stay here again

Floor in my room full of hair and dust

For a hostel it did the job but there were no towels (had to pay extra) and no floor mat on the bathroom. Shower would spray water all over the floor so the floor was consistently wet as nothing dries in the humidity. Also no wifi the entire stay even though it advertises free wifi but it didn’t connect once while we were there

Its a hostel not much to say about it. Beds were nice, staff was friendly, and meet some nice people. Wifi sucked though. Gotta fix that.

The facilities of kitchen need improvement as there is no oven but just the microwave oven. Also there is just one dinning table in the kitchen and one outside the kitchen that may not enough. A 5-minutes walk to town centre is convenient to go to shopping. Also walk to Lime Street station around 8 minutes. It takes around 15-20 minutes to Albert dock and Merseyside by walk. I like the mattress and duvet that made us sleep very comfortable. The lobby of the hostel is spacious with many sofas , besides the staff are friendly.

Great location, very clean and good value

Staff were friendly and the bed was comfortable. Had everything needed for a short stay.

I had a good stay. The staff were lovely and the bed comfy. It is in a very convenient location. However the room I stayed in was tired (broken pedal board, dodgy beside lamp) the decor needs touching up and I could f get hot water for my shower

Perfect location

You get what you pay for i guess. The only positive about this place was location to the city and train station. No activities for being a hostel. The beer garden was lacking any esthetics and there was a dead pigeon just chilling there. Lots of gardening projects left unfinished and nobody The sink and shower would flood while in use. The dryer took 4 cycles just to get to reasonably "dry"..just a very underwhelming place to stay

a great hostel for a trip to central liverpool, walking distance to everywhere and super close to the train station. felt like a safe location and the room was ideal for a short break; clean, spacious and had fans in room. Quite expensive for just one night but best price for time of year.
