PH Hostel Liverpool, hotel in Chester

PH Hostel Liverpool is located in the heart of Liverpool, with free WiFi in all rooms and communal areas. It offers private rooms and shared dormitories with a communal games room, and a kitchen.

I really liked the location of the hostel, it’s especially close to Liverpool Lime Street train station as well as some other points of interest (St Luke’s Bombed Out Church, Chinatown, the Docks etc.) Also the hostel is located in an aesthetic and beautiful looking old building. The staff was nice and helpful and offered to store my luggage in the luggage room before I was able to check in. The smart layout of the beds in the room gave you lots of privacy and also, the beds were quite comfortable.

Embassie Backpackers, hotel in Chester

The Embassie is a 200 years old, vintage mansion and the first hostel in Liverpool. Located in the Georgian Quarter, the property is a 12 minutes walk from the city center.

Fairly convenient location along the main arteries of Liverpool. Maintains a very calm and down to earth atmosphere while still paying careful attention to visitors needs and issues. Some rather nice paintings, especially the one on the highest landing.

Looking for a hostel?
Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Great location, beautiful building inside and out. The staff were so friendly and helpful. Very clean room and good value for money. Bed really comfy :) We wouldn’t hesitate to book again! Let us check in a bit early and kept our luggage in a safe place on our last day so we could explore for longer.

    Staff were very friendly and the hotel is in a great location next to the canal. It's a short walk along the canal and up past the lock keepers arms and straight down a high street right into the city centre. We parked the car in the hotel car park which was safe and secure. Breakfast was buffet style and was very nice and plenty of everything.

    The property was in a great location, within walking distance to the city centre. Check in was easy and had a perfect (free) parking spot on the street outside. Was cheap and cheerful, ideal for our one night stay.

    The staff were friendly and helpful. Great location for access to everything. Good to have use of a washer and dryer, and I loved having a fridge and being able to prepare meals in the evenings. Comfortable and spacious room. Overall I felt it was a safe and comfortable stay at a budget price. Definitely a good choice if you're staying more than a couple of days. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff.
