"The overall aspect of the property was misleading, the property wasn't of a standard that I would expect from a Vrbo property or any rental property, the cleanliness was far from acceptable, massive cobwebs in a few rooms, stains on carpets, rugs that we really a bad trip hazards, the one at the top of the stairs which we moved, sofa bed not fit for purpose, stains on bedding, dishwasher didn't clean properly, no welcome pack, lights in the small bedroom wasn't working, mold and grime build up...

Top Runcorn Hotel Reviews

Novotel Liverpool Centre

10/10 Excellent

"We arrived to a fab welcome, staff were so polite helpful and friendly. Check in process was brilliant. Room was spotless beds were comfy, breakfast tasty! Location of hotel is brilliant for the shops and sights. Hanover st qpark is a two min walk and safe parking. I forgot to pre book parking so this would have given us a discount but that was my fault for not reading the conf properly. We left a couple of items (iPad and tshirt) and they messaged to say they’d been found in the room, luckily we were still in the area so could nip back and get them. How lovely is that! Should mention kids stay and eat free, Faultless stay, enjoyed every second and honesty and friendliness of the team is great! Thanks Novotel we will be back x"

Titanic Hotel Liverpool

10/10 Excellent

"This was our first trip to Liverpool and we were blown away with the city but also the hotel. It was so well maintained, the staff were super friendly, the rooms were huge. Would highly recommend staying here!"

Hope Street Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We loved the hotel, there was nothing to fault (we had a free upgrade). It was a special anniversary so everything was beyond our expectation. Everything was tastefully designed. The room was beautiful, well lit, well furnished and the bed was so comfortable. There was a large bathroom and walk in shower. We stayed on the3rd floor facing Philharmonic Hall and there was negligible noise from the road below and none from the rooms around us even though the hotel appeared to full or close to full on a Friday evening. The food in The London carriage Works restaurant was excellent and breakfast the next day was good too. Lastly, the staff were polite and kind without being obsequious."

The Resident Liverpool

10/10 Excellent

"Very quiet despite being in the centre of things. Excellent toiletries, great having iron and board, brilliant little kitchen area in cupboard. Lovely staff."

Adelphi Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I love the Adelphi Hotel,staff are very pleasant and helpful,the hotel is full of charm and the location is fantastic"

The Mill Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good

"We had a lovely stay for our wedding anniversary. The Mill is excellently placed for the City centre, 5 minutes walk & you're in the shopping area. The staff were all friendly. The room was clean and tidy. The robes that we paid extra for were not used as they were not soft, but rather hard and well washed. The towels however were great. The bed was a bit soft for our liking. The room was very warm and we couldn't find a thermostat to lower the temperature. Breakfast was great, plenty of selections. Overall a very pleasant stay and would visit again."

The Edwardian Manchester, A Radisson Collection Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I had a wonderful 2 days at this hotel. The spa area was beautiful and relaxing. It was busy which was nice. The breakfast was really nice and Josh and another gentleman that helped me with my servicing my breakfast. The location was very good and I would definitely book this hotel again."

Leonardo Hotel Manchester Central

8/10 Good

"Excellent location convenient for central Manchester and Oxford Road station. Room comfortable with everything needed for a one night stay. Effective air con, unlike many hotels. Very calm and relaxing decor. Bathroom was something of a letdown with a cheap, and not particularly warm shower - a non slip mat would have been useful. We were pleased with the restaurant. The menu is a bit limited but the meals were of good quality and reasonably priced considering the location. Decent range of breakfast options though several of the ‘hot’ items were lukewarm/cold. One final point - the ‘shop’ in reception. The prices are extortionate. No wonder the shelves were full. Ok, there’s paying for convenience, but this was ridiculous - there’s a Sainsbury’s Local at the end of the street……"
