The Britannia Adelphi Hotel

The place is a real institution in Liverpool and you do get a sense of arrival when you turn up. Everyone who's anyone ever visiting the city has stayed there at some time and that sense of heritage does hang over the hotel.

Unfortunately, it does tend to trade a little on past glories. It does what it does reasonably well, but there's a gap between the glamour and excellence of the 30's aura and today's visitor experience, which is a shame.

It was a central location. The food was nice.

I did not like the rooms. The first night I stayed was awful the room was really hot even though the heater was not on. The noise all night e.g outside and inside the hotel pipes banging screeching noises hardly slept. I complained and( I sure they Knew I was genuine by the bags under my eyes) we were moved to a different room on the second night which was a big improvement still some screeching noise but room was normal temperature. The hotel does a lot of business from bus tours but it is obvious that whatever money is made does not go back into the hotel which is a pity because it could be really good.

Yes We did not have a shower in our room,the taps were leaking on the sink

The location was ideal for what we wished to do which was mainly shopping and sightseeing

The room was stuffy and dusty and we were unable to open a window for fresh air. This is the only hotel where we have stayed where we were expected to pay for the leisure facilities.

Good location

The hotel has opulent period decor and a lovely sense of spaciousness.

The cooked breakfast on the first morning of our stay was in a poor condition due to standing on hotplates for too long.

A very unique experience totally different from today's chain hotels. Features reminiscent of the glory days that this hotel certainly had in the twenties and thirties, before going steadily downhill since! Very good british breakfast.

General state of dilapidation. Accessories (bathroom, TV, lighting...) totally outdated and mafunctioning. Room very noisy the first night, second room better. Staff indifferent.

breakfast and location

booked twin rooms got 2 doubles one with 4poster bed we were 4 men also gave us wrong key to one room

Friendly staff as were all the Liverpool people

Need to clarify if tick for double/twin room, that are only allocated a double room, really uncomfortable for two women sharing. Rooms need update, take a look at premier hotel in Liverpool, most recommended hotel and always booked out but same price as yourself. The location is perfect and the building is so grand it is a petty you get to the bedroom and are present with the oldest furniture, lamps with shades falling off, lights switch in strange places. Investment is needed in interior design and I would recommend it to everyone

Close to the railway station. Upgraded old hotel, my original choice for making the reservation

Poor bedroom design. I could not watch the television unless on the bed. The room illumination was poor. The double door into the room made it feel like a cell.

It's location was perfect it was right in center of city, the bar was buzzing .

Very central to all attractions and perfect breakfast !!!

The hotel is very grand. We found it to be clean however very dated. Ideal location though we visited the Albert Dock and the ECHO and it was perfect for there - very central.
