The Embassie

From the second you walk in the owners treat you like family, and really make you feel at home. The hostel was clean, and the beds are comfortable. It's only a 20-minute walk from the city centre and all of the museums that you may be coming to see. There really is a sense of community at this hostel from both the owners and the others working. It would be too much to type to get down to specifics but my 3-day stay at the Embassie was truly unforgettable, and I really can say that I've created a lifelong bond with this hostel. If you plan on going up to Liverpool or anywhere in that area, go to the Embassie, you won't regret it.

Okay. So this needs to be made clear. This is not the place where you will find squeaky clean stuff with a staff available to serve you well like those already rich hostel chains. It is a completely different experience. You won't feel like you are alone there. The sense of community and vibe which they have built there is quite applauding. Cleanliness  is not at the best definitely but definitely you will find someone to make you feel home around the living area. Only book if you are flexible and don't mind to leave out the expectations of bang-on commercial  service to you. They provide breakfast stuff which is very flexible and available all around the day. The guy at the reception is there to make sure you don't miss out on a lovely stay. So be open to a new experience. You won't  be disappointed.

Really wasn't as bad as reviewers made it out to be. It's a bed for less than 20£ a night, so I found very little to be upset about. Just wear earplugs if you don't like noise, a mask if you don't like sunlight, and lock up your things if you're paranoid about them being stolen. Only thing was the lock on my door didn't have battery but it seemed to be a safe place regardless, and very community-centric. Staff were really kind and accomodating as well. It just got a little cold at night.

Was staying here almost a year ago to the day,nearly twenty years after my previous stay here. Thoroughly recommend this place to other people. As others will testify it's very walkable to the centre of Liverpool and close to Lime Street for the trains. I intend to return, and definitely quicker than nineteen years.
