8/10 Very good! (813 reviews)
First of all the staff were great very welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. Unfortunately our first room had a plumbing issue (not too serious) and we were given an alternative room. Unfortunately the alternative room had a very loud fridge and was overlooked a club which stayed open until 6am so was very, very loud. I did ask to change again on the Saturday,but no other rooms were available. The hotel was decorated very well and is obviously catered towards stag nights, hen dos and groups, not the best place for a couple. However. Liverpool was great, the ibiIan restaurant across the square was superb, and there were loads of pubs and eateries within a few minutes walk. Great location but very expensive for the overall quality of the hotel and if you do stay, I'd recommend you ask for a room facing the square, rather than the road, otherwise be prepared for a very loud night. Again, great themed hotel, but just don't expect a quiet romantic stay.

We returned to this hotel as the location is perfect for us. We do find the rooms do run hot, you can of course open the window/door slightly but the noise levels quite high in the area. So instead we used the fan but that’s really loud, so just bear in mind if you are a light sleeper, this maybe a problem. Usually sleep with earplugs so it would have been fine, but I forgot them. We did try to get a drink at the bar before heading out but unfortunately there seemed to be just one member of staff on reception who was also on the bar? Because there was a queue for check in, we ended up leaving & heading out instead of carrying on waiting. We’d been sat there 10minutes with nobody acknowledging us so didn’t want to wait any longer. The rooms are pretty well soundproofed, you just hear the occasional door slamming but no room noise which is a huge bonus. As mentioned, location for us is spot on. We usually use one of the local car parks & book online to get a cheaper rate. We will return soon I’m sure.
