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.

    It's amazing what they've crammed into a small space. The 'kitchen' is super tiny, but the shared mini fridge and ameneties are awesome to use. Great location, the first night was a little more, but the following night were nice and cheap (which is appropriate for the facilities). I really appreciated this place since I needed just a place to lay my head and leave some gear while exploring. It did the trick. Also felt very safe.

    Great price for the UK Amazing friendly personnel The breakfast -for an additional price- is actually quite good It has the vibes of a family on a budget option kind of hostel, not a backpacker kind of hostel like you would expect from YHA, which makes it a bit of a different experience, a change of air

    This is one of the best hostels I stayed in....clean, comfortable bunk beds and nice en suite bathroom (we paid the extra for private 6 berth bedroom and bathroom). The location is great, opposite Albert Docks and bonus point it is only 10 min walk from bus/coach stn.

    My favourite hostel in Liverpool, stayed here many times over the years. Great location (central, but distant enough from the noisy nightlife areas). Clean, safe and comfortable. Nice friendly staff. Was very fortunate to recieve an upgrade and stay in a private room instead of a dorm. Will definitely stay here again, as I often come to Liverpool.

    It's a budget backpackers hostel, a cheap and cheerful kind of place. The facilities are a little run down and the place is a little dirty, but the charm is in its heart. They take good care of you and make you feel at home. The communcal spaces were also really nice and the staff are excellent. You feel safe because of them, they're really nice guys.

    Best hostel in Liverpool. Cheap. Clean. Comfortable. Staff are always lovely and now recognise me when I turn up. Hostel room I had didn’t have bunks. Extra bonus, no concussion 😂. Each bed has a plug and a lamp, other guests in room were friendly. wish they had places on Saturday as the hotel I picked wasn’t half as nice as this one. Close to city centre right near Bold street. Perfect for me as I stay here for gigs and shows. Defo will be back.

    Great location - slap-bang in the middle of Liverpool. Parking was right around the back (although hardly a secure car-park). Room was fine, if a bit dated and spartan. A cheap hotel in price and experience. Ideal for me as I was staying for one night only on a budget, but would not recommend anyone seeking a quality stay.
