Hoax

Torn between a 2 and 3 rating because this place looks nice and does have decent accommodations. Its also close to the Liverpool Lime Street station and the central shopping area (ie Liverpool One). However, everything else is crap.
Stayed here for two nights. Within that time I realized that the hostel is located between Stanley and the famous Mathew Street. That wouldn’t be so bad if it wasn’t SO noisy at night whether the windows are open or closed. Note, we were on the Mathew Street side. The automatic doors at the entrance don’t work properly and are slow to open/​close. The lower levels of the hostel are smelly and unfinished. The lockers are extremely small so don’t bet on leaving your regular sized luggage and to top things off the kitchen and laundry were out of service. There are vending machines on the ground floor, computers free of charge, a few chairs and an arcade game HOWEVER, I suggest not playing. It ate £2 and when I addressed this to staff they assumed it was my fault and did nothing to compensate.
They give you nothing and have signs everywhere with warnings that if you do anything remotely stupid you will be charged. It was reasonably priced for the room arrangement we had — 4 bedroom ensuite — but the walls and ceilings of the beds were full of scratches and dirt. They did not come into the rooms to clean therefore if you stay longer beware it might get unhygenic. The bathroom sink is small which is to be expected since we’re in Europe but the problem is the shelve directly above. It doesn’t give you a chance if you want to wash your face and not get a tremendous amount of water on the floor. The shower had no shelves to put any of your tomorrows on and the WC/​toilet had very little space or surfaces as well. The room is supplied with lockers to store your bags but you’d need a lock to fully secure it.
Random artwork all over the hostel and rooms, a bit weird style if you ask me. Overall this place is conveniently located and has okay accommodations but probably better off elsewhere that’s a bit nicer and friendlier.

Totally not what I expected for a hostel, good. Bar and good food. The problem/​selling point is Matthew street is literally on the doorstop. The noise will mean a hard nights sleep

One of the best hostels I’ve ever stayed in to date. Fresh modern and clean. A good mixture of local and international staff, who were all very helpful. Lifts, bag storage, secure lockers, kitchen facilities, chill out area and a bar.
They are a short walk from the train station, and about the same distance to the Albert Docks. So very well located, and conveniently with a taxi rank right outside should you need one.
I didn’t have time in the mornings to try their breakfasts, as I was up and out early each day of my stay.
I will however highly recommend them and certainly stay again when next in Liverpool.
Point to note:
Rooms on the back of the building are above several night clubs which play loud music all night every night of my stay — Fri, Sat, Sun, Mon. So if you are a light sleeper the other side of the building may be better for you.

Everyone was super friendly and accommodating, and it was one of the rare places we found that was easy for a wheelchair to get around. Great location too! I would definitely recommend it for anyone going to Liverpool.

Best hostel I’ve stayed at to date. Incredible street art, friendly staff, clean rooms and comfy beds. Loved the place.
