We stayed here last night and the rooms was a little cold as my husband has a terminal illness it wasn’t ideal so I went down to reception and was greeted by the night staff a women with glasses i cannot remember her name but she was the most empathetic caring person ive come across she showed me 2 other rooms to see if they was warmer but they wasn’t much better so she gave me heaters but just the way she handled it was just lovely the room itself was beautiful I have zero complaints over that but I just want to give credit were credit is needed your very lucky to have a staff member like her

Hen party 6 of us shared a room with 3 Superking beds which on arrival the staff separated into singles for us with no hassle. Room huge but my only complaint is the shower in the whirlpool bath had no rail to hold onto and I had recently broke my wrist so couldn’t risk climbing into bath without support. The staff were friendly and especially at breakfast they were super attentive. Breakfast was delicious especially the link sausages but would have liked the offer of a fried egg though I’m sure if I had of asked they would have made me one.

Went for 2nights midweek, hotel was lovely, rooms were clean and spacious. Staff were very nice and helpful. The lady serving breakfast (didn’t catch her name) she had blonde hair and wore glasses, she was so lovely, nothing was too much trouble for her, she was warm and very friendly. I would definitely stay here again.

Excellent customer service and friendly and inviting dining staff. The location is ideal in the heart of the city and a walk away from restaurants, cafes, bars and Liverpool One. The rooms are nice we had a luxury suite and while very clean was a little below what I expected for the price. However, overall would recommend to anyone looking for a central location.
