St Helens Hotel Reviews

Fantastic, friendly and attentive staff, 5 star …

5 / 5

An excellent hotel, receptionist remembered me calling to inform them I’d be late. Bar staff friendly. Had hand gel at reception with notices around the hotel to wash hands, very well done. The girl clearing up breakfast dishes was on the ball, constantly tending to the Buffett breakfast to keep it fresh. So handy for Liverpool city only 25 minutes and literally just of the M6. Also left my kids blanket in the room, went back a few hours later and it was put aside for me. Nice twin bedded room, clean and very comfortable Some 5 star establishments might learn something for the fabulous hotel. …An excellent hotel, receptionist remembered me calling to inform them I’d be late.

Room was great as was the breakfast. Unfortunately the room I was in was close to the road and as a light sleeper traffic noise stopped me from having a good night’s rest. Would happily book again but ask for a room in a quieter part of the hotel.…

Great stay, fab location couldnt get more central. Apartment had everything we needed, shower and bed were fantastic. The kitchen was well equiped and spotless. Building work going on outside but the double glazing was pretty good and didn't disturb us. The pool and jacuzzi were lovely and the staff were polite and helpful. Free welcome drink in the bar/restaurant attached where we had an amazing cocktail. Only slight negative the sofa looked a little worn but overall a great find, would definitely go back and would recommend if you want to be able to cook and have somewhere a but roomier to relax in than a normal hotel room.…Great stay, fab location couldnt get more central.
