    • Staying at this hotel was a truly stygian experience .Yes, it is a grand building in a great position but the quality of the accommodation, standards of cleanliness and service leave much to be desired. In Liverpool the hotel is avoided like the plague by many ever since a fly on the wall documentary confirmed just how bad it really was. It many ways it is very similar to the Pennsylvania Hotel in New York - grand from the outside but the pits inside! So how come some people think it's O.K ? Well... both the Penn and Adelphi do have some decent rooms. If you are lucky enough to get one you will probably forgive the other shortcomings. Asking to see the room before you check in and declining if it looks crap may get you a better room if they have one available. A final tip avoid checking in very early or late as better rooms are most likely to be available within the first few hours of their checking out time.

    Pros : Good location, plenty of history, quite cheap, nice architecture

    Cons: Dire accommodation, poor service, shabby interior

    Grand old style, elegant hotel.
    handy for Liverpool city centre.
    Large covention facilities. The elegant public areas and banqueting halls have been faithfully restored to provide stunning facilities for up to 800 guests.

    The hotel's new stunning leisure centre caters for every need in its cool wood, steel and glass interior, while the original white marble pool has been refurbished and modernised.

    The Adelphi is considered as much part of Liverpool's heritage as the River Mersey. made famous by the TV series "Hotel"

    • Don't bother. This was once a grand hotel. Then they decided to do nothing with it for 50 years. Guess what? It looks very bad! The rooms are dilapidated, the food terrible and no real services or amenities.

    At night all hell breaks loose. Just outside (especially on the weekends) is a town centre full of deranged drunks who vomit in front of the hotel. Where they haven't thrown up, they throw food, drink bottles and other rubbish. It can be dangerous just getting into the hotel. Then you have the security guards who treat guests like criminals.

    Its not pretty here, so no picture. If you want to really stay in Liverpool centre, stay in the dock area. You can walk to the Centre, but no nightmares like this environment.

    One of the few hotels where a room without windows is a benefit. Yes, they do have such rooms.

    This is a fantastic hotel located at a stone's throw from Liverpool Lime Street Railway station.

    I got a special deal for a single room at 39 pounds per night at Lastminute.com. The usual deal is around 100 pounds.

    Pool, Gym, central location

    • Oddly, the oracle never spoke of hotel management - Liverpool
    Oddly, the oracle never spoke
    of hotel management
    by sourbugger
    Initial signs were not good - just inside the front door a bucket was catching raindrops coming through the stained ceiling.

    The room rack rate (nobody ever pays it) is around 160 pounds, but after inspecting a room we were glad that we had saved our pennies. The furnishings were very dated and a little frayed whilst the 'Four poster bed' looked so flimsy if anything more energetic than sleeping took place, then it would surely be matchwood within seconds.

    The Main public rooms are very 'over the top' and worth a look.

    The hotel is also famous for being used a few years ago in a BBC 'Fly on the wall' documentary. Famous scene including the old battleaxe of a general manager ejecting a fat hooker from reception and a wedding party where the best man declared 'This is a real Liverpool wedding, the tables will soon be cleared for the fighting'.

    Avoid unless a good re-fit occurs soon.

    • I'm a big Beatles fan, and to stay at this landmark hotel was a huge thrill for me. I read that the inside looks like a luxury ocean liner, and it's true. This recently restored hotel did indeed resemble a ship's interior.

    Our room was big, clean, and nicely appointed. Finding it, however, was another story. It was on the mezzanine level, and we felt like we were in the hotel from "The Shining" as we searched for our room.

    Weekend deal was a steal (60 Pounds a night)!

    We were very fortunate to get a very good deal on our room through a booking site last minute. I think we paid about 40 pounds for a standard room with no breakfast. When we checked in, we discovered how posh our room really was. The bedroom was huge and the ensuite bathroom was enormous with a jacuzzi tub!! What a treat!

    • The Adelphi Hotel was originally built in 1876 but was replaced in 1914 with the building that stands today. The Adelphi was built to accomodate wealthy passengers who where 'overnighting' before their transatlantic crossing.

    • Britannia Adelphi Hotel - Liverpool
    by Sheena_99
    Considering this is the most famouse Hotel in Liverpool, the pricing is actually very reasonable.
    Expect around 30-40 pounds per room per night incl breakfast!
    Just make sure you don't go during Grand National week....prices can rise up to 100pounds per person per night!!!

    The Adelphin Hotel is a classic! Dating back to the turn of the century (1900) it has retained its burgoise atmosphere....and old decorations!!! You feel trapped in a time warp when you sit in the foyer having afternoon tea...looking up at a ceiling that is 50ft high, while sitting on your Queen Victoria type chairs!!! Tacky is definately a word to describe this hotel....but certainly you have to experience it!!!
    Facilities include its own Gym/Sauna/Swimming Pool/etc.
    Nightclub/3 Bars/3 Restaurants.....and absolutely the most perfect spots slap bang in the city centre of Liverpool, with its close proximity to the train station, Department stores, buses, restaurants and nightclubs!!!
