Experience the temperature of hell in room 1
Cons:

Room was far too hot, the bars on the windows, screen in front of the window and the tie came on the window meant we could only open the window a tiny bit. The fan provided in the room was so poor, barely moving any air. The toilet wouldn't flush unless you pumped the handle 20 times. We couldn't sleep at all in room 1, outside was a cool 20 degrees, in the room was over 30 degrees.

Mildly stressful but fine
Pros:

The breakfast itself was a generous portion and good with vegan sausages

Cons:

The toilet didn't flush, the sounds of the pipes of the other rooms was so loud it kept waking me up, there was no air conditioning and it was boiling hot in my room, there were hairs on my sheets, and dirt stains on the inside of the sheet. The breakfast was really nice and in many ways I'm glad I stayed there but it could have been much better for the price. It was particularly hot so maybe that's why things weren't up to standard but the room really needed a fan to cool it down. The TV also didn't work. The welcome could have been warmer. No shampoo or conditioner

An interesting, historic, quiet and good value place to stay when visiting Liverpool.
Pros:

Interesting historic pub/inn in a quiet residential area with a park opposite and easy access to the city centre. The staff were welcoming, and the breakfast was very good.

Cons:

The decor was a little tired in places, but nonetheless clean and comfortable.

Great last minute booking
Pros:

It is a nice, characterful place to stay. The area is quiet and has parking nearby. The staff were really helpful.

Cons:

The lack of plug sockets, noisy water pipes and not enough hot water in the morning. I think this can't helped due to the age of the property.

Needs a complete renovation and staff training.
Pros:

Hotel was filthy, blood on the stairs and the room needed completely redoing and a deep clean. Didn’t sleep a wink due to noise. Had to pay a £20 early check in which was taken twice and a month later I am still trying to get a refund. After complaining I was offered an £20 refund which I anl still trying to get. Absolutely would not recommend.

Cons:

Cannot say I liked anything.

The property is a 500 year old building. Has alot of character and ambience. In a fabulous location.

Being an old building it had problems with water pressure to the bathroom. Once used to what needed to be done to flush the toilet it proved to ba a fabulous stay.
