Liverpool International Inn

The Liverpool International Inn is very conveniently located -- down a small lane just off busy Hardman Street. It's also just a short stroll away from many of Liverpool's attractions (the Philharmonic is just down the road, as is L.I.P.A) and is about a ten-minute walk from the centre of town.

The hostel is big and spacious -- the lay-out is very well spaced out so despite its size there is a quiet and peaceful atmosphere. The dorm rooms are also generously sized and have a toilet/shower room included. There are no lockers provided but you can give valuables to reception to mind. There is also a washer/dryer (for a small fee) but unfortunately this was out of order. There is an internet cafe next door which charges a reasonable fee per half hour (although in town you can use the internet for free at the main library).

At the end of the long hall of the International Inn is a shared kitchen (free coffee/tea/toast) with cooking facilities, and next door to this is a large common room with a TV, pool table, and table-soccer to keep you entertained. The staff are friendly and helpful, and there reception is staffed twenty-four hours.

The hostel is moderately clean -- the common room and the kitchen see the worst of the mess, and while the bathrooms are tatty and a bit worn-down, they aren't too bad. All in all, the International Inn is a friendly and well located place to stay and good value for money.
