What guests think

At Childwall Abbey, Liverpool by Marston's Inns, guests frequently praise the friendly, helpful staff and the characterful on-site pub, with many noting good value food and a relaxed suburban base within easy reach of Liverpool and Anfield.

Rooms are generally comfortable and clean but often described as basic or dated, with recurring comments about noise from the lively pub or late events and occasional issues like hot rooms, plumbing noises, or awkward power outlet placement. Dining feedback leans positive for tasty pub meals, though breakfast timing and availability caused frustrations for several stays, and there were isolated complaints about slow or inconsistent service and a closed kitchen. Overall, expect a friendly, good-value pub-with-rooms experience in a quiet suburb, with character and convenience outweighing some dated features and potential noise.

Check in was a bit of a task but this was probably due to staff being tied up with a funeral / wake that was in progress at the time. Room was clean, bed was super big and super comfy. Very pleasant pub with decent beer and value for money food. Will definitely return

Room was very clean, bed was comfortable, had everything needed including tea/coffee/biscuits. Bathroom was clean with plenty of towels but tired. Room and bathroom in need of decorating particularly the windows. Staff encountered were pleasant. Easy access. Parking area was not well lit so slightly worried about leaving my car. Did not sample food or drinks. Good value and worked well for my requirements.

Average, The busy Pub below creates a enjoyable atmospheric atmosphere however the noise travels through the rooms and can make it difficult for peace and quiet. Service was grand, although the majority of the stay was people free due to QR codes, Online Check In, Checkout etc

This was an adorable hotel! The room was clean and smelled fresh. The staff was friendly and helpful with navigating around Liverpool. The restaurant/bar downstairs was a pleasant atmosphere. They hosted a variety of events if you wanted to do something without having to leave the property. Even with everything going on it never disrupted our rest.

Location Quiet area on the outskirts of Liverpool. Shops within walking distance. Plenty of parking. 20min drive to city centre. Room Clean and cosy, though could do with a slight refresh and more power outlets. Service Staff were welcoming and helpful. Price Bargain. Overall Worth a look if planning on staying in the area.

Staff were excellent and couldn’t help enough, room was clean and mostly functional, our only gripe being a hair dryer and mirror with no plug socket to plug it in! Just two sockets on the far side of the room and way to far to reach or then use the mirror! Overall though a great friendly pub with guest rooms that did exactly what we needed during our stay!

We had a great stay at the Childwall Abbey Hotel. We stayed there as we were going to Anfield. It was only £12 for a taxi to the ground. Hotel was clean, tidy and staff were lovely. Especially Steven who gave us great tips on Beatles places to visit. Including Strawberry Fields and Lennons house which is 5mins away from Hotel. Will go back if we are lucky enough to get more football tickets.

I stay in the single room. Mattress was broke. And dipped in the middle. I had an awful night sleep. Dark hairs still in the shower, not as clean as previous stays. I’ve stayed before and it’s been fine but this time unfortunately wasn’t great. I also had to miss out on breakfast, usually it’s 730am but when I went to go down at 730am there was a sign saying breakfast at 8am. But I had to leave at 8am. Overall a bit of a shame, the pub was great though, I had a lovely dinner and staff were fab.

The hotel is badly in need of refurbishment. We stayed in the Henry Irving room which was oppressively hot and noisy. Smell from the cooking downstairs was in the room all evening. The staff were pleasant and helpful and the bedding and towels spotlessly clean. Beautiful building but in need of major update.

We stayed on Saturday 23rd in Room 7. Every time you used the tap or flushed the toilet there was a epically loud noise of the system drawing the water. This not being bad enough when we got up in the morning for our 8am departure, we ran the shower for 30mins and it never got hot!!! We tried turning up passed the 38oC mark and noting, we tried the opposite way a still nothing. This meant our onward travel was showerless!!! Last night, the advertised closing time was 23:00 for the bar downstairs but the party night kept going until at least midnight! Then the banging closed of every fire door. It was torture!!!

Very comfortable BUT having ordered and paid for a Full English Breakfast, I discovered on arrival that the serving time for Breakfast on Saturdays was LATER 8.30am than my required departure time: 8.00-8.15am. Arrangements were set-up for a Continental-style breakfast BUT that did not happen: staff not available until just AFTER 8.00am. So, no breakfast provided, despite payment. No refund yet ...

I was woken up at around 4:30AM by a couple of people who sounded like staff (though possibly were other guests) banging around and talking very loudly outside my window. The breakfast was disappointing. My napkin arrived soggy having been sitting in I guess some rain-water-filled basket that was never poured out. Very dry veggie sausages and I thought 2 "flat top" mushrooms meant portobello, but I received only a handful of button... No one came to ask how it was or I would have told them. The inn chain uses some weird surveillance-y data tracking when booking and even when just trying to use their WiFi. Some patrons in the pub/event space were polite, others seemed provincial, judgy of people from elsewhere. It was unfortunate the cable didn't have Premier League football channels. The abbey was nice and the forest nearby is fine. The abbey seems to house some sort of evangelical minister talking about damnation though. Staff not taking COVID prevention measures like masking and the room window only opened a bit.
