The rooms are lovely, me and my partner stayed in the Suite room and it was perfect. Exactly what we needed. We came for a concert and a long weekend of shopping. Everything was clean, tidy and well presented. The staff were helpful and friendly, everyone was very polite. Check in was speedy despite a very large queue, and the luggage room was so so useful for before and after checkout. So very accommodating and a gorgeous building with lots of common areas. Towels, soap, very comfortable king size bed; we recommend indefinitely!

Perfect for our one night stay

Basic accommodation. Clean and comfortable. Good sized bathroom and decent shower with Shampoo/Conditioner supplied. Comfy Bed, good mattress. No tea and coffee in room or kettle. But it's just fine for a one night stay. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Alice

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Very slow and inefficient check in process, very small and hot room with no air con, fan or able to open windows fully. Very uncomfortable lumpy bed and pillow. Felt unsafe overnight, door didn’t feel particularly safe. Curtains don’t fit the window, so room extremely bright early morning. Walls really thin so could literally hear everything on the floor. Mould in the bathroom and shower doesn’t drain. Also, hostel I think has changed name? When I booked it was called PH Hostel, and recently I had received emails from Malacuna Liverpool. The pictures do not look like what I booked. The reception is completely different to what it looks online and the bedroom wasn’t like the picture. I’m really disappointed as it was a lot of money for what we paid and neither us slept due to light/noise/comfort.

Also I thought toiletries were included and they were not apart from hand soap . Room very clean and bed space nice and private. I thought Id booked a single sex room but it was mixed . I didnt really see my 3 male sharers who were no problem at all . The bed and bedding was comfy . Location also good very central

The lobby area was really nice and the staff were lovely. The communal areas were being constantly cleaned so that was great. We would have been really happy if we hadn't had to pay so much. The price had clearly been raised for the bank holiday weekend / festival weekend / Liverpool FC parade weekend and it wasn't reflective of the facilities. We couldn't sleep because you can hear everything through the walls and it's noisy all night, and the sheets were ripped in places, dust on the back cushions and hole punched in the bathroom door. None of this would have bothered us if we paid less but it was just overpriced for what it was unfortunately. Would 100% come back and recommend to people if the price was lower, but on this occasion we had no other options so had to pay the high price.

I wouldn’t suggest anyone stay here it’s a loud party hostel and the guests play music here all the time and the staff have to be told to go tell them to turn the music off at 8am in the morning so I wouldn’t recommend staying here also my shower door didn’t close so water was getting everywhere but if you can get over that then you can stay here but I won’t be again.

Clare

Liked: Staff & service
The staff were helpful on arrival, smoothing out a booking issue. One disappointing thing was that the kitchen facilities are no longer available (closed for a refurb, but other reviews suggest they've been closed over a month). I wasn't told before arriving in at check in, and this was part of my reason for my booking, and I spent a lot more money buying hot drinks over my visit, so this was frustrating. The location was good, the rooms were spacious, and although dated and an old building, the facilities were OK. My bunk bed was very creeky, low on the floor and not particularly comfortable (with a broken bedside shelf). It was nice to have a privacy curtain and plugs by the bed. When I was collecting my luggage, there was no staff and several people had been waiting 10 minutes to leave their bags, in the late morning. I tried the luggage room door handle and it was open. So the positive was that me and others could access the luggage room instead of waiting for staff to arrive, the negative was that the luggage was completely unsecured and people were frustrated they had been waiting needlessly for 10 minutes for staff to appear
