This place has a good kitchen and carpark which is tops. There's food service if you dont want to cook your own. Very clean and good showers. Main problem is the forever present Global Gossip rubbish at the YHA, which charges a stupid amount (5 pounds a day!) access for wifi and 50p / 10 mins on the terminals. Time to get up to date and realise internet costs almost nothing and Global Gossip is a massive rip off merchant. So BYO a dongle or use your phones data and this is a top place to stay ;)

Hostel was very good, breakfast was brilliant and the staff were spot on. I priced another hostel up around Everton Road I think, they were charging an extra £5 for every hour to check in after 10pm or something. YHA had none of that bull, will defo be the first place I look to when travelling to Liverpool again

Nice and pretty clean hostel. You need a small padlock to lock your stuff in the cupboard...The only irritating thing was internet connection which doesn't work properly and you have to paid for it! Otherwise really good value for money!

Beds comfortable. Ok for a night. Not a social hostel with any activities so not the place to meet people. Staff that checked me in wasn't informative did not explain wifi or offer me option to buy breakfast. I'm sorry but Ian looks disinterested and clearly does not like his job but if you catch him when he is ok he is alright person. James was helpful with local information. Brochures were out of date the bike hire company doesn't exist anymore! I wouldn't stay again ESP for the overpriced £26

We all really enjoyed our staff at the YHA Liverpool, the rooms where clean and tidy but it was the staff who were the icing on the cake. The customer service we received from Kerry on reception was amazing there wasn't enough she could do for us what a star.

Really friendly and helpful staff. Nicely located for the docks and the Baltic Fleet. Quality of the room was good for a hostel (I have been in worse Hotels). Breakfast was excellent. Would definately stay again if/when in Liverpool

Stayed here twice. For places like the Echo Arena and Albert Docks you could not ask for a better location. Other major tourist destinations (Cavern etc) are within about 15 mins walk. Staff are friendly and helpful. My only problem was the drunken football fans who came in to the dorm at 3am and proceeded to talk in full voice as if they were still in the pub. That isn't a criticism on the hostel though...just one of those things you have to be prepared for sometimes in this type of place.

A good place to stay for just a night. Good for me, because there was a busstop to the airport nearby. It looks a bit shabby; loose floortiles and so on. And really noisy. Not my roommates but neighbours upstairs kept me up all night. Close to Albert Dock, but not close to the city centre. I will try a differtent hostel next time I am in Liverpool... (Hatters was better...)

The staff was soooooo friendly!!! The room was clean and bright. Although the breakfast has £4.95 charge, it's really worth. The typical British breakfast was nice. The place is good. Close to the riverside and city centre. But maybe it's kinda difficult to find there. But I didn't know there was £3 extra charge per day until I got there. And the wifi was not free. It's a good hostel for short stay(1 or 2 days)

Room was basic which was expected and facilities were ok. Some more clarity around the additional £3 per room charge (for non-members of the YHA) would have been nice which is a fault of HostelWorld and not the hostel itself. Would try to claim this money back but it was in the small print (which nobody reads!). Sadly I won't be using Hostelworld again.

The receptionist charge us £3.50 extra because we didn't have the Hostel Card, and we didn't read it before in any webpage, so we were dissapointed.
