Arrived at 2:25pm, and told reception I wanted to check in, but was told abruptly to come back as check-in was at 3pm. Most hotels would check if the room was ready, especially as so close to check-in time, but that didn't happen. I know it wasn't time to check-in but it could have been said in a nicer way.
Had a twin as was travelling solo. Beds a bit wobbly. One single had springs sticking out. Luckily there were 2 single beds. The other bed was comfortable but there were pink stains on the quilt cover. Bathroom bath mat on second night was covered in brown stains on one side, so used a hand towel instead. Didn't try breakfast, but had heard that it was very good. Good location next to Lime Street station. Walls quite thin as heard people talking a lot, and location of room was next to corridor fire doors, which banged loudly when people passed through them on way to and from rooms.
