The property is advertised on the site as having a pool which you have to pay for access to and they do not allow under 18 in. Extremely misleading.

IMPORTANT : It is £30 to use the POOL ! Pool and Sauna/Steam Room etc. and Pool use costs £30 The Website does state this if you open a few Drop-Down menus. Unless you're looking for it -you won't open the text. It is very much the proverbial 'small print' I just booked using Tesco Vouchers saw the hotel, Bar & Pool/Sauna photos and assumed this would be free to Hotel Guests. NEVER ASSUME It's the first time I've come across this - so I will be wise next time. The Hotel is ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS in all other aspects however. I was just disappointed with this cost. £30 is daylight robbery.

Didn’t feel like 5 star. The pillows were very cheap as was the duvet and the gym was closed at 8pm and only open at 7am which you don’t expect from a 5* hotel. My room was a weird U shape and felt cold and stark as the main light had cool bulbs in it. If I was staying for leisure, I’d have been very disappointed

Lovely new hotel in a great location. However, to charge £30 to use the pool and gym as a hotel guest is a disgrace. As a frequent traveller on business this is how I unwind after travelling etc. Due to this, I will not stay here again. Sort out your pricing for the facilities!

We truly enjoyed our stay at the hotel. Upon arrival, we were offered canapés while we waited to check in. The doorman asked why we were visiting, and when I mentioned it was for my wife’s birthday, he kindly returned with a gift of chocolates for her. We loved the high ceilings in our room, and it was beautifully decorated. The bar area was stunning, and we enjoyed our drinks, although the £30 for two cocktails felt a bit pricey. I would definitely recommend this hotel; it deserves 5 stars! Additionally, the parking across the road for £13 for 24 hours was very convenient. The only downside was that using the pool required an extra fee.

Lovely hotel but let down by one greedy policy - that being to charge residents to use the pool. Using the pool between 8am and 10am, you are charged £30 each, at all other times, that charge increases to £50 each. Given the cost to stay here, you would expect access to the pool to be complimentary for residents.

We have been to the bar in the hotel many times and although a lovely place the service is so slow - at times its painful. But, for my wifes birthday we decided as it was a lovely hotel to stay over for the night. Check in was great and the guy to showed us to room (i think has name was jude) was brilliant - a credit to the hotel The room was not great, very small and compact, on arrival into the room it was dirty with plastic wrappers on the floor and used room keys on the t station what made it worse was the show cushions had a crusty white stain on them.... they should have been binned and not placed on a bed for somebody else. Overall the room was okay but the cleanliness was poor The bathroom was lovely and the shower was hot but the drains absolutely stunk!! For the whole duration the bathroom stunk, our time in the room was minimal so we just chose to get on with it We got ready for a night out and went down for a drink where once again the service awful and around a 10 minute wait sat at the bar before managing to ask for a drink, other customers were visibly fruatrated as i said above it was painful - we finished our drinks and left for the evening After eating out we returned to the hotel the bar was quiet (around 10:30pm) so service was quicker to be fair We addressed our concerns with concierge upon checkout and she was apologetic and listenned to our concerns For such a lovely premium hotel i feel there are much better options around

Nice hotel but look beneath the surface and had a few issues. Room AC didn’t work properly and was sweating at 25 deg so had to move rooms. Funny drain smell in the bathroom in the mornings and service at the lobby bar area felt under staffed, took a very long time to order drinks and staff seemed a bit too busy to cope. Breakfast was very good and standard of the rooms was potentially excellent. I think they know they have issues with tiles and boxings being cut open in the bathrooms. Overall 6/10 would probably book elsewhere next time.

Fantastic stay and was made to feel very welcome! The hotel looked stunning with all of the Christmas decorations and the staff were super lovely, kind and helpful. The ambiance at the hotel is very relaxing and would thoroughly recommend this as a hotel to stay in if you are visiting Liverpool. My only slight critique would be that the grout on the lower tiles in the shower were a bit dirty and discoloured which for a hotel of this standard I would have expected the shower to be completely clean but it wouldn’t prevent me staying at the hotel again as everything else was great.

However I went off-peak at 08.00 for £30 which is a bit better. Had 2 requests while there. One for Decaf T-bags and another as we needed toilet rolls. Both requests were met with delivery to room within 10 mins. Excellent service. The whole experience was first class. Thank you

The service at the check in could only be described as boring, coach your team to engage properly rather than asking silly questions, also to read the room. Hotel was not full, but I reckon they put me in the broom cupboard, was shocking for the price i paid. In the toilet, had to squeeze past a wall and sink to get into the toilet.

Was disappointed in this hotel. We booked a one night stay then were told we had to pay extra to use the swimming pool £50 per person. The interior was beautiful but the service did not match. Breakfast was a shambles. We were given a menu but had to then ask someone to take our order. The hot food was eventually served but the order was wrong. Had to wait again then served wrong again. Only ordered the regular breakfast with fried egg and no tomato. But was served with scrambled egg and tomato. On the second attempt it still had tomato on the plate. My order (eggs Benedict) never arrived so I had a croissant with my coffee while my husband ate his reheated breakfast. Twenty minutes later when we had given up on my breakfast, the order arrived but I declined as it looked dry as though reheated. No real apology given Very disappointing. Had much better service and quality of food in Premier Inn the previous night.

The building and interior is lovely, but this didn't make up for the poor communication between teams was poor and we had a bad experience overall. We were charged for something extra after checking out, even though it was confirmed that we wouldn't (twice!). When we called the hotel we were told it was a technical issue and that we would either get a refund or a call back. We didn't receive a call so we had to keep chasing for this charge that was supposedly communicated!! It took weeks to get a clear response.

What an amazing place for business trips in the week. Reasonable rates Mon to Thurs and accessible with plenty of parking nearby which wont take long to find. Time out to 10kms 30 to 40 mins in any direction. Food and Drink are expensive and there are supplements to the already pricy Breakfast cost, But if your not staying for pleasure, then there are (as you would expect more places within the budget you need. 5 mins and you are eating. Bar/Drawing room though. The staff are all 5 Star trained and it shows. Guests are of a high calibre so you feel respected and you yourself respect. So prob finest hotel I've stayed in in a long time, and I do see a great many. Eco didn't hit me as something massively promoted, though I do not know what measures they have placed not customer facing, so please take this as a "could do a bit more, not over the top though)
