Hard Days Night Hotel Liverpool, Hard Days Night Suite

The location is brilliant. The staff were great. The reason for three stars on service was not the staff but the food. The breakfast was terrible, give it a miss. We went for breakfast about half nine, the breakfast stops serving at ten. I would expect the same standard of food no matter what the time. The scrambled eggs were terrible, if you threw them on the floor they’d bounce back on your plate, selections were running out. Just not good enough for a four star hotel. Don’t get me wrong the room was spotless and the service was great and I’ll be back but I wouldn’t have a meal there, we had an evening meal and we ordered the steak platter, the steak was cold and under cooked for what we requested. This was about nine o clock and they just served a coach party but surely paying guest should be served with the same standards as a big party. Mind you I don’t know if they had the same standard of food.

Mixed bag. Beds were very uncomfortable with no padding on mattress. Pillows were flat. Towels and bedding were thin and not soft. We had a king bed which was two twin beds pushed together. The shower in our first room was incredibly small making it impossible to bend our legs and/or bend at the waist to wash. I would equate the size to what you might have in a camper van. Our first room was a “deluxe” balcony room and the noise from live music on Mathew St. was simply unbearable and went on until 0200. I will say that the front desk manager tried to be accommodating but could not move us into a new room until the second night. The second room was quieter but the music was still heard. If staying here I would say your best bet would be to request a room as far from Mathew St side of hotel as possible unless you plan on being out all night. The breakfast is all self-service and lackluster. Canned fruit and very limited options in general. We tried the breakfast one day but ended up at the McDonalds around the corner. Elevators are slow and tiny. With two people and two pieces of luggage the elevator was at capacity. There was a bartender from the Belfast area on Saturday night. I did not get his name but he was very friendly and helpful. Likewise the front desk manager we dealt with was also making an effort to be helpful which was appreciated. If you’re looking for a hotel close to the nightlife and shopping, and need a lot of Beatles pictures, this might be your place. If you want to relax and rest comfortably this hotel would not be your best bet. Out travel agent booked this property and I’m not sure of the cost per night, but I would say it is a budget level hotel at best.
