Embassie Liverpool Backpackers isn't a hostel for parties and being super social. It is more of a quiet hostel.
The Location
Embassie hostel is approximately a twenty-minute walk from the bus station and the train station, inland from the water. It is in a nice suburban area and is quiet. There are buses that can transport you to the centre if you don't feel like the walk. There isn't much in the way of shops nearby, however, there is a Tesco Express close by for food.
Rooms and Bathrooms
The rooms here are large and spacious. Each bed has a locker allocated to it; there are no keys to them, however. There are other, small lockers downstairs that can be used if you have your own lock. There are no door keys allocated; but there are coded security doors on each bedroom and on the front door, but usually you have to ring the front doorbell to get someone to let you in. The beds are comfortable to sleep in and are supplied with clean linen.
There are gender-segregated bathrooms; they are kept fairly neat and tidy. The showers are good and they provide you with towels as well.
Common Spaces
In general, the common areas feel quite junked up, like they need a massive clean-out. There are some areas of the house that need a good deep clean, as they feel a bit grimy. There is a small kitchenette on the main floor as you enter the house with some tables, where people generally tend to hang out. There is an outside patio area for smoking and general chilling out too if the weather is nice. Downstairs, you will find a larger, more industrial-sized kitchen for cooking and a larger common area with a pool table, computer, some books, and a table where you can eat. They give you free breakfast in the morning and free tea and coffee all day, which is a bonus. There were not a great deal of people about during the stay; the people there are nice and social enough, but it's not a party place.
Summary
As it's an old house, it's quite rundown, but for the most part if you are looking to stay a night or two and are on a budget, it is an ok place to stay.

Description
The Embassie Hostel is a beautiful terrace house built in 1820 in the unspoilt Georgian square used in the filming of "In the Name of the Father". You will notice a flagpole on the front of the house because, until 1986,this was the home of the Consulate of Venezuela - and that is why it is called the "Embassie".
The location is ideal for travellers to Liverpool. It is located in a lovely residential area, directly across the street from Falkner Square Park ( you saw it in the film!) and just a 10 minute walk to the city centre of Liverpool and all the wonderful history, music, museums and nightlife this exciting city offers.
