Booking this hotel, I questioned paying £80 for four adults on a Friday night ahead of a Mersyside Derby. However, we got there, the location is very central, the hostel was clean in itself, the lift looked a final destination style life. The room we got was great and exactly what I'd expect for £80 but clean, tidy, good spacious bathroom. Well worth the money we paid and would definitely return. Staff were not overly talkative but if thats my downfall from an £80 (£20pp) stay then so be it.

Atmospheric Hostel, spruce up it up please :-)

The hostel was clearly in the middle of a refurbishment, it seems like parts of the building have been disused for some time, bed comfortable, clean sheets, electrics, curtains for privacy, shower and hot water, friendly staff, just needs a bit of a spruce up, on my previous visit the atmosphere was vibrant and lively, the building has great character, hopefully it gets the TLC it deserves, meet some other interesting travellers as well!

Cheap… if your stuck and know were else to go

The beds were so uncomfortable only one pillow, this is expected for a cheap stay, bathroom was in a mess, paint was peeling of the ceilings, if your stuck for a bed and very little money it’s perfect.
