Staff were very pleasant. The classic double room was decent, no frills, but did the job. Downside is we stayed on Saturday evening and had the worst nights sleep in any hotel I have ever stayed in. The noise coming from by the Cavern Club and outside the hotel was unbearable - extremely loud drumming until 2am. I called front desk who advised this is normal and what you should expect from city centre hotels. From experience, I appreciate you may encounter some noise from city centre but this was not typical city centre noise, this was like being in a nightclub that you couldn’t leave! The rooms/windows do not have sufficient sound proofing given this level of noise. It is a shame really because the hotel itself is fine but based on the noise and the lack of care by the hotel to address it, I would not stay here again.
