Hatters Hostel Liverpool

Clean room, easy checkout and very friendly staff

I was initially worried about mixed dormitories then I thought I'd strike it lucky and stay with a couple of gorgeous Spanish girls who walk around in knickers and have naked pillow fights. Unfortunately I stayed with a couple of drinks and a nice Japanese lad, who I spoke Japanese to. Yes I speak it a bit. Now for the review. You pay for what you get and I think that as it's an old building from 1860 and a hostel it's bound to be a bit worn down. However, staff are friendly as are the people and I enjoyed my stay. Never tried breakfast but I went in the bar area which was nice. When I plan a night out in Liverpool I will stay here instead of a taxi home. Some of the reviews are people being too fussy, it's absolutely fine if you want to crash somewhere for really really cheap. You can also go Tesco down the road and bring to the bar your drinks and food. Great place just don't expect the Ritz and don't expect quietness in the corridors as obviously people have been drinking. Ironically they sell ear plugs in the reception area but I didn't need them as a bottle of wine sends me to sleep straight away. Try it, it's a unique and different place. Oh and you can put valuables in lockers but bring your own padlock.

Postcode in the confirmation email was incorrect. It’s a social hostel, where the bathroom showers need to be replaced. Sufficient for a party weekend away but can be quite noisy in the rooms from the hallway and neighbouring rooms. The WiFi is pretty slow but the beds were comfy. The bar needs a card machine installed rather than having to pay for drinks at Reception!

The hostel was only a few minute's walk from the train station and the town centre which was perfect. The room was very basic, a little tired, but fine for one night.

Enjoyed my stay. Would stay again.
