Great hostel, not far from the station. Nice staff, good place, great experience... would recommend for students, back-packers and so on.

Everything was really good apart from being asked to hand the credit card over until the next morning. Everywhere else I have stayed, the reception ask for credit card details, not the card itself over night. I have read lots of times to never hand the card over and I thought it was illegal to ask for it as a deposit. Apart from this, everything was good.

I had never stayed in a hostel before so didnt know what to expect, but it was clean and very good valve. It was however more than 15 mins walk from town, the bus does stop out side the house though..

This was very much budget accomodation, but we were working to a tight budget so it suited our group. Our expectations were not high as it was very cheap in terms of cost however the location was within reasonable walking distance from the city centre. The rooms were basic, but the beds were fine and there was hot water and lots of facilities such as internet, Sky tv and a kitchen. Would use the hostel again.

It was everything fine, also I liked the free internet and breakfast. The only thing I didn't like much was that I think I was almost in the only one in the whole Hostel who wanted to sleep, I had to fly back home the next morning very early and could barely sleep. I think s the perfect place if you want to mess arround, but if you are wishing to sleep well and peacefully, you better look for another place.

Hi Rocio, Weekends are busy in Liverpool, you would better book a provate room and not share with other guests if you require sleep before a flight. If you had let us know then we would have moved you to a 4 bed dorm to reduce the impact of noise but all complaints are from guests in larger shared dorms. Let the hostel staff know where ever you travel and we hostels will continue to keep all happy. Happy Travels Hostel Team

The price you pay for a bed does not reflect the hostel. I would pay more to stay here again it has everything you would want. Have stayed here in the past and see some improvements. The Cat Everton just sets the place of nicely. Would highly recommend.

During my staying everything was fine. However,I think its a priority to check the tub, it was very dirty. My bed sheets where also a bit dirty and I found hair.

Hi Daniel, The dorms are cleaned in the morning, we dont clean after each guests during the day, if you find an area dirty in any hostel as you travel around the world then let the staff know, we will resolve any comment or complaint to keep our guests happy, we only hear of them online after the guest has stayed. Bed Linens are changed every morning, as you have seen the washers and dryers are free to use and we wash all day so I would only think hair could have dropped from the bed above but again let staff know and we can give you a replacement sheet. Was Liverpool good? did you enjoy the breakfast or the free cycles we have?

I strongly recommend this hostel. Delicious breakfast, comfortable and friendly environment. The receptionist was very helpful when we need to rush to go to the city centre. There are computers with free internet, big TV and a cat. Stay there!!!

This is a hostel worth visiting. Rooms of various sizes and each room has its own facilities including iron and washing machine. Place has character. While not in the centre not too far either. Great value for what you get. We will be heading back

Hi Dion, We advertise NOT in the city, we over look the city and its a 15-20 min walk depending on the speed of each guests. We advertise the busess or provide a taxi number by email when booking. Its a 50" but were glad you liked the common room and services. We have free cycles to use so let us know what extras you need or how we can help next time. Happy Travels Everton Hostel Team

This hostel was generally good. The facilities were fairly clean and the bathroom was well-stocked. The area was a little scary to walk in at night, and two local girls urged us to take a cab there because they didn't recommend to walk around there in the dark. This wasn't much of a problem because the hostel gave us the number to a very affordable cab company - literally like 5 or 6 quid total to get around. Overall, we had a pretty good stay.

The hostel which was a lot further from Lime St Station than stated on the information, there was no where to leave luggage securely when we arrived. The shared lounge was dirty, with laundry all over the floor. and dirty dishes. There was a kitten which was eating the left over food from breakfast and a rabbit in the garden, the kitten later came into our room. The staff were incredibly rude, one of whom was sleeping in our room. The room/bathroom was filthy and the window didn't open.

Hi cheryl hird, The hostel is as advertised and not in the city centre, for backpackers its an easy walk since most of our adventure is on foot at our luxury. All guests can leave luggage in the common room, use a locker on the first floor or we the staff can lock away until you need. IF guests arrive during the breakfast time then you will see food or plates around left by some guests and we the staff will remove once available. Guests can use the washer / dryers for free, we apologies for their washing but its not a HOTEL, we are a back packer hostel with many freebies so sometime some flexibility is appreciated by all backpackers. We may have the next door rabbit visit the garden and our hostel cat plays host to all who visit but if this was a problem then let staff know, every hostel you visit has staff would love to hear what guests like or dislike so we all continue to improve the service. We would like to hear more regarding the rude staff member to address this and ensure this does not reoccur and offer a complimentary stay with us to say sorry for the bad experience. Only rear windows open on the top section, front windows don't open to reduce the risk of accident since they are very heavy. Hostel Manager

There appeared to be double bookings which meant that two men let themselves in to our room (all girls) in the middle of the night. Not the cleanest place either - there was still food in our fridge and we had to wash everything before we used it. Some issues with paying on card on arrival too. Good if you need somewhere very cheap to stay.

Hi Ilona Alcock, There was no overbooking, you booked 8 people into a 10 bed which already had 2 guys (hence the possibility of dirty plates and fridge) on your arrival in the dorm after it was cleaned in the morning. See below: 27th Aug '11 2011-05-30 10 Bed Mixed Dorm Ensuite #10 BED 8P 27th Aug '11 2011-05-30 10 Bed Mixed Dorm Ensuite #10 BED 2P As you can see by facts, you booked shared dorms, the rooms are and were cleaned prior to your arrival. Cleaning is completed by mid day, check-in is from 3PM daily so there is a possibility that if you check-in later in the day then the room could be dirty but if you let the staff know then we can address this on request. We don't continue to check the dorms for privacy unless requested by guests. We have a card machine that accepts all cards with out any known problems and we accept UK cash, we cannot understand why the review is so inaccurate and request that you contact us to discuss and we can offer complimentary stay to compensate for the bad experience.

Just one word, this hostel is amazing. You have a lot of facilities very appreciable like internet or breakfast: toast, jam, cheese, tea, cofee..You are sure your stomach is full when you begin your day. The atmosphere is really nice. You feel like in your home with a lot of friends. During my travel, it was my home. The staff is good and very friendly: Tom, Darwen, Curtis and the cat everton. They answer for all your questions. If u need an information, ask Tom. You need a hug, ask Everton....
