Adelphi Hotel (Liverpool)

...site we come across the Adelphi hotel, it was historically interesting; the hotel was built for the passengers of the Titanic and has been restored with great care (apparently). So now to tell my tale of my visit to the Adelphi… We arrived at Liverpool Lime street station and soon found the way out onto Lime Street, as we walked along the street our first impressions weren’t good. The city seemed dirty and run down and not inviting at all: We carried ...
...arrived at the hotel. The first thing you noticed it the fact it is stand a lone, with roads running in front, and to the two sides: while at the rear another part of the hotel (bars I think) and a post office prevent the road slightly further on from making the hotel an island. The building itself is quite imposing, although there are a lot of road works right opposite the hotel at the moment in preparation for the city of culture bid 2008. Again ...

Review of Adelphi Hotel (Liverpool)

...and we were pleased that Adelphi was the choice of hotel. 4* star luxery, and we had dinner and breakfast to look forward to. How wrong was I to look forward to it. My first impressions of the hotel was good, its exterior and reception area is stunning. But that's the only plus point of the hotel. A silly moan but the lifts are extremely slow, so there ends up being queues from the lift doors to the reception desk. Stepping out of the lift doors ...
...I travelled up 4 floors, I'd travelled back 4 decades!! The decoration was dark, dingy with horrid flowery decoration. Rubbish littered every corner and the the carpet just needed a good hoover!! The hotel room doors strangely open outwards, and then inside there's no lock, apart from a small chain. You then find yourself in a small foyer with a dusty cupboard to your right, the bathroom is front of you and the bedroom/sitting area to your left. ...

Review of Adelphi Hotel (Liverpool)

...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 : http://www.britannia-hotels.co.uk/locations/adelphi.html Now we've got ...
...what it's really like. It was, well, old. Ancient in fact. The rooms didn't seem to realise that we were living in the 21st century. They were kinda musty, they creaked and you could never be certain something wasn't going to crawl out from the dust under the beds. Some of the paintwork was chipped and peeling and though the bathrooms were clean, they were not sparkling. The rooms were too hot and the bathrooms too cold which was an interesting combination..... ...

Review of Adelphi Hotel (Liverpool)

...We have stayed in the Adelphi 4 times - not all out of choice, and definately wouldn't be our 1st choice, by any means. The 1st time we stayed there, about 8 years ago, we loved it. We had a very large room (there was only a twin available), with settees, a table, writing desk, TV and obviously beds. The price was reasonable. We therefore recommended it to friends on our next stay. This time with a double bedded room, it was tiny, but still cleanish. ...
...room number) In fairness the Adelphi staff eventually escorted him to his room. We again stayed there last weekend, with 2 children. The room was not anywhere near what we expected for £97 (which doesn't include breakfast) We were told that there would be a sofa bed for one of the children, which definately did not look like any sofa bed I've seen. The children were just happy to have gone to the footbal match, luckily, and didn't care where they ...

Review of Adelphi Hotel (Liverpool)

...the TV series documenting The Adelphi will need no reminding of the levels service that are sometimes available if you're unlucky. It's a real shame because the hotel has so much potential. It is a beautiful building that is part of Liverpool's vast cultural heritage. Unless you're very much into impressive architecture and are used to staying at Faulty Towers, do not book a stay here! ...

Review of Adelphi Hotel (Liverpool)

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. ...
...It's such a shame that such a magnificent building (and it is from the outside), with such a long and colourful history, has been allowed to deteriorate to the disgrace I encountered. I wouldn't ever stay at the Adelphi or any other hotel in the same chain again. ...

Review of Adelphi Hotel (Liverpool)

...I have always visited the Adelphi Hotel which I reckon is a superb hotel and is not that expensive. If you judge in terms of value for money it is really good value.There are often special or mid week breaks offered by the Britannia group of hotels and they are at rates much below the rack rate. The public rooms at the Adelphi are sumptuous to say the least.You can imagine all the shipping tycoons and wealthy merchants and their families sipping ...

Review of Adelphi Hotel (Liverpool)

After staying at the Adelphi Hotel, it looks very grand on the outside. however, when you enter, the hotel seems to look very old and not very tempting. the reception area is quite modern however once you pass this, the furniture is old and so is the decortation. this hotel is more for people of the older generation and people who are staying in Liverpool for maybe one night, it is not receommended for families or young couples. the rooms are very ...

Review of Adelphi Hotel (Liverpool)

The Adelphi Hotel is a Liverpool insitution just like the Liver Birds. It is a splendid hotel,with splendid facilities,and considering its quality, the prices are quite reasonable,particularly if you take advantage of special offers.I have also found it a great place to eat at. On my last trip I had the special Sunday lunch-a three course meal-which was absoltutely marvellous value for money. The service at this long established hotel is very good ...
...handy for the town centre shops and only a short walk to the Pier Head.If you want a short break or a mid week break in Liverpool and at the same time want to enjoy luxurious accommodation you should seriously consider staying at the Adelphi Hotel.It is a first-rate place. ...

Review of Adelphi Hotel (Liverpool)

Having stayed at the Adelphi whilst in Liverpool for business purposes, I can only recommend others who may go their not to. The building itself seems grand enough from the exterior, but the interior reeks somewhat of having a 'faded glory'. Whilst all the fixtures and fittings were in order there was not the same range of services afforded in more modern hotels. The main problem I have however, is with the staffing. In every single case, each staff ...
