Adelphi

As a regular visitor to Liverpool (originally from there and go back to see family), I had the misfortune to stay at the Adelphi Hotel for a night a couple of years back. My sister and I shared a twin room, which if I was being polite would called careworn, and if I was feeling less generous I would say was downright shabby. The dust on the furniture was ridiculous, the bathroom looked dirty and smelled and there was a smell of dampness pervading the whole room. Our Dad had booked the room for us and attached his card details to the room asking us to make ourselves comfortable and use whatever we wanted and charge it to him (we're not princesses, ...  Read the complete review

One Friday last February I was in a minibus with 5 fellow Manchester students (4 nice and normal, one rather odd 35 year old, but let's not go there). We were off to spend the weekend at the student volunteers uk annual conference which was being held at Liverpool's Adelphi hotel. First the boring facts : the hotel is about 2 mins walk from Liverpool Lime Street. I wasn't driving (I was in the back eating chocolate and gossiping and totally not paying attention) but I know we got slightly lost when we left the motorway. Still, get yourself an A-Z and you'll be fine. For more details, the official website is : ...  Read the complete review

As a foreigner and a former student of Liverpool University it was my dream to visit Liverpool again and show my beloved city to my best friend. I took this trip but with a difference. My 4 years sweetest dream became my worst nightmare, because of choosing staying at Adelphi Hotel, which by the way is the worst hotel in the whole world ever. When we checked in, the receptionist- while sucking his caramel- asked for my card to swipe for security, and he asked me to sign for ₤490, money that the room was about to cost for a 7- nights stay. I did so, and I got the key for our room, which was on the 7th floor. When the door of the lift opened I couldn’t ...  Read the complete review

When I saw the price I could get a double room in the Adelphi on the web, I was amazed. I thought it must be some off-peak, midweek price but I was staying in Liverpool for a night so I though I'd give it a go. Unfortunately I was flying into Liverpool relatively early in the morning and had to wait for 2:30pm check in but once we got to check in at 3pm I was relieved that I'd soon be getting rid of my bags and a short rest. Going up to the room I realized I was wrong as the cleaner stopped us from entering since it had not yet been cleaned! We eventually managed to get her to let us in to leave our bags, seeing the room covered in Pizza boxes and ...  Read the complete review

I thought the Adelphi was a luxury hotel, so I took my girlfriend there for a romantic weekend break. I have never been more wrong in my life. We waited for 30 mins to check-in as there was only one person on the desk (at 8 o'clock on a friday night). As we went up to the room, the carpet was ratty and there were cigarette butts on the floor, which we thought was odd. In the room we were stunned and I didn't know whether to laugh or get annoyed. The bed-spread was singed and dirty, the radiator (that looked like it had been salvaged from the Ark) was rusty and had sharp edges and the television was propped up at one corner with a folded piece ...  Read the complete review
