I can’t say enough good things about this amazing hostel! The staff were great, Tim the owner was so lovely and so kind! He gave such great advice about where to go and what to do! The facilities are clean and comfortable. The bathroom is so clean and the shower was probably the best one I’ve been in since traveling, so big and clean. The beds were super comfortable and the room was very nice and clean. Tim even let me do laundry for free when all across Ireland and the UK they wanted almost 10 pounds, what a gem! The people who are staying there are so great, fun and welcoming, I had a blast! The area to hang out is small but it’s good to get to know people and have a great time! 100/100 would recommend!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    This is one of the best hostels I stayed in....clean, comfortable bunk beds and nice en suite bathroom (we paid the extra for private 6 berth bedroom and bathroom). The location is great, opposite Albert Docks and bonus point it is only 10 min walk from bus/coach stn.

    My favourite hostel in Liverpool, stayed here many times over the years. Great location (central, but distant enough from the noisy nightlife areas). Clean, safe and comfortable. Nice friendly staff. Was very fortunate to recieve an upgrade and stay in a private room instead of a dorm. Will definitely stay here again, as I often come to Liverpool.

    It's a budget backpackers hostel, a cheap and cheerful kind of place. The facilities are a little run down and the place is a little dirty, but the charm is in its heart. They take good care of you and make you feel at home. The communcal spaces were also really nice and the staff are excellent. You feel safe because of them, they're really nice guys.

    Best hostel in Liverpool. Cheap. Clean. Comfortable. Staff are always lovely and now recognise me when I turn up. Hostel room I had didn’t have bunks. Extra bonus, no concussion 😂. Each bed has a plug and a lamp, other guests in room were friendly. wish they had places on Saturday as the hotel I picked wasn’t half as nice as this one. Close to city centre right near Bold street. Perfect for me as I stay here for gigs and shows. Defo will be back.

    Great location - slap-bang in the middle of Liverpool. Parking was right around the back (although hardly a secure car-park). Room was fine, if a bit dated and spartan. A cheap hotel in price and experience. Ideal for me as I was staying for one night only on a budget, but would not recommend anyone seeking a quality stay.

    It was a fab location for where we wanted to be. Ticked the boxes for a cheap & cheerful stay, whilst enjoying the night life of Liverpool. Had a great time with other guests back at the hostel, meeting people from all over. Go with an open mind to enjoy yourself & no preconceived ideas of luxury for the price you pay.

    Very central to town, easy to move around and central for us. Cheap stay and comfortable. Safe as a family. Room was small but it was just what we wanted for our stay.
