The Britannia Adelphi Hotel  

Room lighting was very very poor. The bed was very uncomfortable, no extra pillows in room. Carpet in room was stained. The lifts were not working properly. Overall we were very unhappy with our stay.

It was interesting to visit due to the relative fame and history of the place. The beds were comfortable.

Our room wasn't much larger than a broom cupboard and was really in need of refurb. In fact, the whole hotel is run-down. Bearing in mind how rough the hotel was, it was seriously overprices - we paid £160 for two nights - half of that price would have been more appropriate. The main issue was that we were unable to open a window and the fan wasn't up to much - it was really hot and stuffy during the night. Oh, and the TV wasn't tuned in to any channels properly and I could figure out how to tune it myself.

Nothing we left because it was so awful.

For all of you who ignore the extreme evaluations as outliers and focus on the overall review... This is the one hotel to follow the wisdom of guests past.... My fiancée and I had been on a twelve day trip around Europe staying in the cheapest hotels along the way. This was our last night and wanted to splurge a bit so we went to the Adelphi Hotel in Liverpool. When we first got into the elevator another guest asked us what brought us to this.crap hole... That should have tipped us off right away. There were other guests sitting in the hallway because their room keys wouldn't allow them access to their rooms. I had seen this happen in other hotels but definitely not on this magnitude (8 or so people) We had a double booked for 99 pounds. The first room we were given had two small single beds, a frosted window that wouldnt open and a rusted over bathroom. This was by far worse than some of the two star hotels we spent only 22 pounds on. We were then relocated to another room that had a double bed. The paint was peeling off the walls and the bathroom, again, was all rusty. The third room we were given had decent paint but was a very small room, the windows didn't open, the lampshade was all dirty and knocked half-way off the lamp. We decided to leave the hotel. This hotel does not have a fitness center/pool and wifi ( It looks like the Adelphi offers these features but they charge you extra for them...) The elevators were even faulty and often would not bring you to the ground floor. Overall... I would recommend booking elsewhere and avoiding the Adelphi at any price beyond 70 pounds.

Hotel is in a state of chronic disrepair and needs major investment to meet the standards of modern hotels. Hotel has huge potential (architecture, location etc.) but rooms and corridors are cramped, dirty and were out of date 20 years ago. The age of the hotel is no excuse for dirty carpets and sheets, peeling paintwork, lack of hot water and many more problems. This hotel represents appalling value for money given other hotels in the same price bracket in Liverpool city centre. It would be impossible to recommend this hotel given the state it's in.

Cheap and room was comfortable near station and University

Smokers around front entrance television in room was poor breakfast too expensive - went to Witherspoons much better value.

It was in a good location to get around the city

The room was on the first floor next to a wedding celebration on both the Friday and Saturday night - I always wonder why large hotels that cater for parties / weddings do not put the guests of those parties in the rooms closest to the noise!. It feels like we got the cheap room because we paid the cheap price....you get what you pay for I guess!

The location and the breakfast

When I checked in my room was dirty.When I reported this I was told that this was usual for Sunday arrivals.Given that check out is 11:00 am and I checked in at 14:15 this would suggest too few cleaners are employed. Feel of "faded glory"about this hotel

The location

I asked for strictly non smoking rooms and was allocated two smoking rooms on the sixth floor. I could not use the room due to the strong smell of smoke. When checking in I asked for non smoking rooms and was told there were none available close togehter. However when I went back to ask for a room change we were allocated two rooms on the first floor non smoking. I just wonder why they were not given to us on checkin. There was a vert strong smell of damp from the bathroom in room 159.

This was my second stay and this room was much better than last time. My room this time was on the 1st floor and at the back to the hotel. It was much quieter and the furnishings were lovely.

Staying in a piece of history

Noisy old Victorian lift shaft next to my room, but hey maybe I been spoilt in the past. Get over myself...........

We were very disappointed by our 2 nights stay at the Britannia Adelphi because: - we could not sleep on the night of the 14th Jan.due to two wedding parties taking place. Our room being on the first floor just above the parties, it was like being on the dancefloor itself. It went on until 1am. We had not been warned by the hotel management when we booked. Had we known we would have chosen another hotel. Alternatively, the Management should have given us a room on the upper floors, far from the parties. - We called the reception during the night but obviously it was too late to change room. When we complained to the Manager the following day, his reaction was not appropriate. He claimed that there was some link on the hotel web site which informs that the hotel hosts parties. He did not offer any compensation. It was just tough luck ! We did not feel welcomed and appreciated as customer. We rather felt like we had to pay, shut up and leave. I would definitely not recommend anyone to stay at this hotel.

I love the gorgeous twin rooms on the 1st floor (non smoking)- beautiful old traditional hotel with character, feels like a proper hotel- love the high ceiling bedrooms (lower floors) love the stunning marble tiles in the swimming pool- love the lay out and style of the hotel - huge function rooms, chandeliers, and the room I was in had nice large bath tub- was traditionally, well decorated, also the staff are very good indeed, welcoming and friendly. I think the staff also love their hotel. I certainly do and shall return many times as I have done so already! Exceptional value for money - got superb low rate pre-paid deals- unbelievalbe!!!- And right next to Liverpool Lime street rail station!! On top of the shops! Unbeatable!!!

There's nothing I dont like about the Adelphi!! I love the Adelphi!!! Brill staff! Honest housekeeper ran after me with shawl I left behind when leaving!!!
