Adelphi Hotel

When looking at some of the bad reviews I was a bit worried, however the hotel exceeded my expectations. My room was on the 5th floor, so in the "cheap end" - however it was not run down and everything worked fine. The hotel must have been spectacular during its heyday, and the main public rooms still show the former glory. I was wondering why there were not many people there, as I thoroughly enjoyed sitting and working there in the evening, listening to nice soothing classical music. The check-in was fast and the staff were friendly. (The people in line before me had problems, as they did not have any ID with them, but it must be noted, that the hotel had sent me an information well before that the ID will be required.) I particularly liked the kind night porter with whom I had a good chat about the history of the hotel, and who gave me a booklet with more information. Cheers!

Spacious room, comfortable bed, excellent cleanliness, and attentive staff. Perfect location, just a five-minute walk from the train station and close to many tourist attractions. The bathroom was renovated, with an excellent shower and good water pressure. The breakfast, which was not included in our booking, is very well served and reasonably priced.

I actually loved the faded grandeur. I am sure many hotels would not let the room I had in that state but for me it added to the uniqueness. And The wardrobe/ cupboard was fantastic being reminiscent of a proper linen press of 100 years ago. Honestly I love the fact that it has not been modernised and updated. It has a slight old world colonial feel about it. It’s not anonymous like most hotels. However, If you want a modern bathroom with no flaking paint, and no emergency temporary tatty tape around the wc this room would not be for you but it made ME smile. Reception staff were great. I met a cleaning lady as I left and she was friendly. Location is good and there is a very convenient car park

The breakfast was buffet-style, which is the best because you can choose whatever you like. There was a great selection to choose from, with various fruit, yogurt, assorted cereals, muffins, a wide selection of cooked foods (sausages, bacon, eggs, hash browns, mushrooms, tomatoes, beans, etc) as well as bread (with self service toaster optional) tea, coffee and fruit juices. All very tasty and in plentiful supply. I would also like to add that the staff were very helpful and friendly. On the day we checked out, we had some time to spare before our journey home, so we left our luggage in the hotel and went to the Anfield Stadium tour. Whilst there, I received a phone call from a member of the Adelphi Hotel's staff, to tell me that the cleaner had found my Passport in the room we'd stayed in, I had forgotten that I put it in a drawer. I am so grateful to the staff for finding it and ensuring its safe return to me.

Once again I had an overnight stay at the Adelphi . In fact I’m booked for Monday evening also . The Adelphi is always my 1st choice for a midweek stay if I have an early train from lime street station . Room was again spotlessly clean , always a hint of faded grandeur but bed was comfy , sheets crisp , room was quite large . Decent view from my window . Bath was nice & deep , water warm . Plenty of good towels & tea & coffee . All in all a good stay !
