    Noisy guests on a Friday night, lack of charging facilities. I understand the Embassie is in the middle of a modernisation. Very central and will visit again.

    Very warm and honest welcome.

    Kitchen bit cluttered and not the best to make your own breakfast. It was only 1 night so we managed. Anyone who's picky I would look else where.

    Friendly welcoming staff and great to meet people from all over the world. Nova the dog that lives there is so friendly. Room/beds were comfortable. Location is good just uphill walk to get there. Toilets clean. Putty about weather as outside area looked lovely.

    Toilet and shower. For the amount of people that can be in at one time, they could do with an additional toilet for example.

    You’ll get what you pay for. Not the greatest, however staff were very polite and nice.

    The shower didn't really go warm, which made showering a bit uncomfortable and the bathrooms could have been a bit more clean. The house is a bit crowded with stuff. However, in my opinion, this gives the place a comfy vibe, but I can imagine others might not necessarily feel the same way.

    At the Embassie, you will meet a wide range of people from all over the world and all different backgrounds. There will often be people in the kitchen gathering, drinking tea, and chatting. The hosts are very welcoming, and they offer a personal Beatles walking tour. It was no problem to leave my luggage even after I checked out

    The room was freezing. There was a radiator provided, but it didn't seem to do much. The shared areas (corridors, bathrooms, ect) could have been cleaner. However, the actual facilities (toilets, sinks, ect) were all clean.

    The staff were really friendly and welcoming. The room and beds were spotless. We booked an entire room (10 beds) to be together and on our own. I messaged to confirm we would all be together before hand, we weren't automatically put together, but they were more than willing to change it so we were. The rooms had locks so we felt perfectly safe. For the money you pay it is perfect.

    Parking is on a nearby side street unless they have any tokens left for the adjacent street, which has residents only permit. The other side street looked pretty dodgy but our (not fancy) car was fine overnight... So it is fine but something to be aware.

    Traditional hostel, old school style. Bit of confusion finding our booking but it was ok. Friendly staff. Room was small but clean and basic. Good for the price, can't complain. Tea, coffee, toast available.

    The whole place needs a renovation fast. My room was very cold inside and I certainly question whether it is possible to stay during the winter. The place is also dirty, the linens and pillows where not clean to say the slightest. Overall, good value for money but would think twice if staying in Liverpool again.

    The hostel manager Kevin is easily one of the most interesting characters I have met on my travels, easy to talk to and really informative. The Background story is great and he makes you geel welcomed at all times. The kitchen had the necessities and the place was about 20 min walk to city centre.

    While the hostel is full of character due to its age it is rather dirty and there were only two toilets. The kitchen/lounge area was small and became crowded easily. The location was 40 minutes from the central station by foot but it was quiet and leafy.

    This place had a unique character, with friendly informative staff. We were allowed to store our luggage on the final day at no cost. The beds were comfortable and the TV worked. There was no additional cost for towels and breakfast was free.

    The owner was fun, friendly, just a legend who watched Buddy Holly play live. There is tea, cereals and bread available the whole day.

    It's in a very old building, the whole place could use a renovation, its cluttered too. There was no hot water in one of the showers. There isn't anything to dry the hands with in a bathroom and the toilet room is tiny.

    Beds are comfortable, kitchen is supplied with basics like tea and coffee, the owner seems very nice. Reception was still open when I came back quite late. There is a shower and bathroom on every floor. Good location.
