Hi Guest, We agree if your a backpacker and travelling the world then stay with us for a budget stay where 99% is free, we update damaged areas from the weekend an unable to totally close the dorm since we are always booked due to our fair price policy. Guests make their own beds when prices are so low inc breakfast and internet, we are alway happy to recommend a higer charging hostel or dorm where the beds are made for you. All dorm have new hot showers, we will investigate your review today and resolve any non hot water problems, often guests may not know to switch on the hot water switch after another has turned it off. Just ask the staff if in doubt when travelling. Glad you enjoyed the breakfast and we thank you for the review. Happy Travels Hostel Booking Desk

They put a new heater in the shower on the second day of my stay there, so from that day on everything was O.K.

It was a great hostel, lots of character, everyone was very friendly and it had a nice environment. It is begining to look a little dated, but we didn't let it take anything away from what was a great stay.

Hi Guest, We are grateful for the review and may you choose us when visiting Liverpool or recommend us to a friend. The dated look is under review with management so if you return in May then things will look very different. Happy Travels Hostel Bookings

Good breakfast, the light of the bathroom was not working. A bit far to get to the city center.

Hi Guest, Yes we are 15-20 min walk from the landmark city radio tower where all the night life is but we do market this on hostelworld. Good you liked the breakfast and we sorted the light when a guest told us, next time just let the staff know at any hostel you stay so it can be resolved asap. Well hapy travels and may we see you again. Hostel Team

Heater was broken and it was very cold. There wasn't hot water in the shower, but faucet was working. I loved that breakfast and internet was included into price.

Dear Guest, The heater in the 10 bed are working, staff turn them on in the morning and leave them on low at night during the winter months. If these had been switched off by a guest, then ask a member of staff to turn back on, we don’t expect any guest to freeze because we offer low prices, we apologies for this error… Glad to hear you enjoyed everything else at the hostel.

Our room was in the basement, right under the hostel's common room. It was very big, but dirty and because of the common room above us it was very noisy. I found it quite unacceptable. We didn't feel comfortable at all, although we often sleep in hostels and are experienced on that score. We left the hostel after one night because we rather wanted to pay for another hostel than stay one more night in the Everton. The staff showed a lack of understanding for this matter.

This hostel was very dirty, the bathroom hadn't been cleaned and there were cigarette butts on the floor of the bedroom. The matrresses were ripped and stained and the top bunks were sagging down almost dangerously (They were on the verge on breaking and someone would fall through). The staff said what they had to but were not very friendly. The breakfast was free which is good but there wasn't enough for everyone. I would not stay here again.

Hello, The whole hostel and bathrooms get cleaned everyday starting from 11AM when you stay here you will see the cleaner going around everyday, We also do not allow any guest to smoke inside the hostel or they will be charged for doing so. You are the first person to come and say to us that the mattresses are ripped, We also wash our bed sheets every day starting from 10AM you will notice when you stay that we wash them in the common room until late at night. Next time please if you notice a bunk bed is breaking then please let us know so we can fix it ASAP. If you do not tell us about it then you are letting yourself stay in danger. As it happens we checked the beds in your room and found no major problem but we did tighten up the screws again just to be safe. And also we are a very cheap hostel. We put breakfast out from 7AM until 10AM (Bread, Milk, Jam, Tea, Coffee, Hot Chocolate, Marmalade, Peanut butter, Apples, Oranges, Bananas, 6 different types of cerials, and more etc.) All for free. We can't keep giving and giving more to the guest that is why we have a time. But we do top it up. We are very sorry that you did not have a good stay with us, and if you do ever want to stay again we will make sure that we can make your stay the best we can! Thank you for staying with us. Everton Hostel Team.

That 's the best hostel I have ever stayed in Europe!! Please keep your staff, since they are very helpful and friendly. I asked so many things to them and they patiently listened me and tried their best to sort out my problems, it was excellent! But I think check in time might be a bit earlier... anyway if I come to Liverpool again it is for sure I will stay in Everton Road Hostel!

Great bathrooms, ensuites in every dorm (I believe). Our dorm also had a fridge/sink in there, great for storing our food close to us. Kitchen downstairs is really only a kettle and a microwave, a little disappointing - don't expect much from it. Location was pretty poor, 10-15 minute walk to anything really. The city was at least 25 minutes walk. Cheap private hire cabs though (3 pound to the city). Really good character, beatles and music murals everywhere!

The only thing that I disliked was the charge of £5 for arriving after 10pm. Two things about it: it is the first time I see a hostel charging for arriving before midnight; and secondly the website is unclear about the charge, at some point is suggests there will not be charge if we advise the arrival time (which I did), but despite having done so I was charged 5 extra when checking in. If you keep on charging this just be clear as the conf. email didn't mentione the extra 5 in the balance

Hello, When you book with us through Hostel World it clearly states and has always stated about the extra charge. I will paste here what it says "Late Check-in after 22:00 will incur a charge of £5 for each hour if unable to check-in before 22:00 daily. Check in until 02:00AM (As not to wake other guest) Check out until 11:00AM but can be extended (cost in-cured)." Please always read the Hostel Property Information when you book for a hostel on Hostel World so you will know about stuff like this, We can't guarantee that everyone will read it but its on the website to be read. We are sorry that you did not like the extra charge and we Thank You for staying with us. Everton Hostel Team.

I stayed in this hostel for so many times, you get a great service for the money you pay. Staff is great, specially this spanish girl called Concha, she was so nice and helped me as much as she could. The bed was confortable and the room was clean. Really good atmosphere I would would back.

The main down fall was that the shower and toilet facilities in our room were dirty. The shower didn't not work, had tiles off the wall and smelt bad. As we were shown our room there was a person still leaving it so I don't even think it had been cleaned. The next closet shower was upstairs and in the communal room. There was no hot water.

The best thing about this hostel is the price. I consider myself an easy-going person, but even for me there were lots of things lacking, things that are not difficult to improve: the facilities are not bad, but were messy and needed repairs. The kitchen in the 10 bed bedroom would be great if it was better taken care of. I see no point in having an old stove when a small microwave would be better. The bathroom was dismantled. There is no reception, and I am sorry for the people who work there.

This is not a comfortable, long stay kinda place. It was perfect for me for one night passing through as it is 24 hour, extremely cheap and had free street parking but if you have medium-high standards I'd probably stay elsewhere. It was warm and provided a half-arsed breaky but the bathrooms were terrible. Shower was a cold single trickle.

The other customers staying at the hostel had no intention of sleeping and showed no consideration for anyone else who did. The hostel was extremely rowdy from 1am til 7am almost continuously! I think the 2 young women running it are extremely vulnerable if any of the drunk young men staying there decided to kick off. They have no authority with such clientele and are shown no respect as the people in charge. The facilities were fine and the 2 women mentioned were pleasant and helpful.

For £10 the hostel did the job as It was so where to sleep but that was about it really. There was a party going on around the Hostel for most of the night while I was there. Its warm, dry and there was a bed for me.

This is a really great hostel, our room has its own kitchen, washing machine, bathroom, sofa and table, it was like an appartment! The breakfast is really complete, the manager book for us a taxi cab with credit card because we didnt have cash, a really good hostel, we just stay 1 night, we would like to stay longer!
