Childwall Abbey, by Marstons Inns

Excellent staff. Very friendly. Room was very warm and a great size for the two of us for our stay duration.

Lovely room, corridor leading to room was a bit tired, but room was great, bed comfy, good shower. All good . I’ll be very happy to stay again.

This “hotel” is actually a very popular (and busy) pub-restaurant, with a few bedrooms upstairs. We paid £80 for one night in a suburb, so is very over-priced. Like so many hospitality venues currently, it is understaffed, and there is no staff member onsite during the night. The facility was generally dusty and looking tired, even though the bedrooms are fairly new. But they have noisy macerator pumps for the ensuite basin and WC, which has a poor flush and no toilet brush to compensate. The noise woke us during the night several times (we could also hear another room). The nice shower did not have any shelf to store shampoo etc and stupid American style small bath towels were supplied. For a hotel of this price, we would expect (from experience) tissues, shower cap and a safe, but none were there. One of our curtains was hanging off its rail and both were difficult to open and close. Until the streetlights went off at midnight, our room was not in darkness. For our clothes, there were no shelves or drawers, just hanging space. We had to live out of our suitcase, which had to be on the floor as there was nowhere else for it. Breakfast was served and minimal, nothing was laid out buffet style. There was no fruit available. All the rooms are up steep stairs, so there is no Accessibility. The good, attached car park is shown as having CCTV – but in the absence of anybody to monitor it overnight, this is useless. I would rate this hotel no more than 2-stars in the usual scale.

Very comfy bed; too much noise from the taps/plumbing & no way to stop it!!

A pleasant stay. Not far from bus stops into the city centre. The building is lovely. Maybe a little tired decor wise. Could be absolutely gorgeous with a refurb, then I guess the cost would be different and it may not be so reasonable :) it’s ok decor wise. Clean. Parking very close and is free. Pub grub available. Coffee sachets provided, not replenished in room on second day, asked for some at the bar ,and they were more than happy to provide some. Would stay again.

Was good
