on arrival i was greeted by a member of staff who explained everything to me including the car parking .this is free to guests but you must register as you could incur a parking penalty. the staff were some of the most helpful that i have encountered and they helped me locate both discounted and free trips within easy walk of the hostel. the hostel is a mere 5 minutes walk from the albert docks and less than 15 mins from the cavern club. a snack during the day was tasty and reasonably priced but the breakfast was plentiful and super value for the money. my six person room was clean , comfortable and came with shower and full ablusions. i also made use of their spacious and ample cycle shed. this is a lockable building and very secure. the whole of liverpool city centre is close by and most things are within easy walking distance. a very enjoyable stay.
