Britannia Adelphi Hotel

A grand old building in the centre of Liverpool. It really needs updating, there was a weird smell in the halls and the room, the carpets are grubby, the windows and sill were dirty, lumps were taken out of the paint work. A real pity.

Level it

Well located for the railway station

Check in was really easy and the room was very spacious

To say that this was the worst hotel I have ever stayed at would be an understatement. The place is falling apart. The first room I got was leaking from windows and ceiling onto the bed. The second room had a bit of a smell like damp. The ceiling in other parts of the building was also damp. The curtain in the bathroom was a shower curtain and just to say covered the window. If there is one thing I did like about the place it was the breakfast but that was it. Stay here at your own risk.

Brilliant location, perfect for lime street station and city centre. Nice old building in a nice setting. Good value, good service from reception staff. Room was tidy and clean. The hotel is a little dated and could do with some simple features such as flowers on a table in the corridors and artworks on the walls. The front doorway area smelt of smoke. There was no plug in the bathroom to allow me to have a bath and there was some leaking from the shower head handle. With some investment this could be a wonderful hotel. Currently a good value and clean place to stay with wonderful location

I am very happy, it was great

Completely false advertising online, the hotel is extremely run down, very poor service and very slow. The rooms are awful, we had 2 guest rooms and one of the two had the ceiling falling down in the corner should not be fit for sleeping in, the window in the other room was jammed open, as if it’s been open 10 years and never closed Extremely overpriced considering the state of the hotel, I do not recommend staying here, for £170 a night you can find somewhere much better Beds uncomfortable, only offer you 1 pillow, no plug sockets next to the beds for phone chargers, lamps in the rooms and no ceiling lights, one of the lamps didn’t even work as the bulb was blown, won’t be returning, Not much breakfast Choice considering the price of rooms, the juices tasted horrible and milk had a bad twang to it, never again

The room is good, higher ceilings. New shower room.

The room was spacious a clean, but was in a noisy lacation in the build. By the lifts and a hall door was continuely banging as other guest went to there rooms, also there was a bar opposite the hotel which had very loud music till 2am.

The hotel is very convenient for getting to the railway station, shopping, restaurants and buses, everything is within a five minute walk of the hotel. The only thing I can say about the hotel is that its a bit dated and could do with modern windows, but because its a listed building this could be very expensive.

I got exactly as I expected a small room clean and affordable in the centre of the town. Down stairs was unexpected but beautiful part of history with luxurious sitting rooms

Although the building is amazing, the room was bare with not even night lamps on night tables and looking very run down. Bathroom was renovated but shower had nowhere to put soap or shampoo bottle. Only one double elevator for a lot of guests housed on 5-6 floors

This hotel is a unique building full of faded grandeur with an interesting history. Cheap and central for Liverpool it provided a bed to sleep in. There is no servicing of rooms during your stay and if you need any new towels, tea or milk etc you must fetch it from reception. My first room was enormous but had a water leak from the roof that looked as if it had been there a very long time, and the shower was cold. The problem was not fixed despite assurances from reception and as a result I was moved to another room. The marble lined corridors were magnificent but could have done with a hoover, and as they had no windows or access to fresh air they were very musty smelling. I have no problem with less servicing of rooms, but I stayed 4 days with my friend in a twin room and I would have liked a cloth and cleaning product so I could wipe around the sink and shower once I had used it and some way of cleaning our coffee cups too. The Concierge was the best, really friendly and knowledgable with a lovely sense of humour and plenty of anecdotes. The hotel is central to all attractions and they are all within walking distance. The area around the hotel is not nice, to enter it you must navigate all the people sitting outside smoking, this makes the entrance and reception smell too. I had a lovely break in Liverpool and probably got what I paid for, I would look for something a little more modern next time.

Friendly staff

Pet friendly and clean room. Lovely comfortable bed. Shower did not drain very well and we could not have a long shower as the base started to fill with water and overflow!! We were woken at 7am to banging and hammering!! The breakfast for substantial and good. We will return despite these issues.

This must be the best value hotel in Liverpool - great location, nice big room, modern bathroom with great shower, good breakfast, helpful staff. Unbearable for the money.

Everything was good.

Very tired and very basic. The rooms are nothing like the photos.

Room was a little bit shabby and in need of some TLC. But it was clean, and the hotel is perfectly positioned for a trip to the city.
