O'Tooles - Liverpool City Council ONLY

The shared accommodation stays quiet, with only three rooms on each of its three floors, unlike some nearby hostels. CCTV monitors access to the facility and all floors, there’s a helpful concierge available 24 hours, and the fire control and prevention setup is outstanding. Rooms are clean, with a nice bathroom, modern decor, blinds, laminate floors, double glazing, a good view, a smart TV, and adequate internet. Cleaners come daily, change towels and empty bins, and handle extra cleaning requests. The rooms get a deeper clean weekly. For getting around, it’s a five-minute walk from Home and Bargain and Costco, both excellent-value supermarkets, with an Asda pretty close in smithdown and a 24-hour garage round the corner on Vulcan street. Town centre, Liverpool Docks, and all the tourist attractions are a 15-minute walk away. I can’t compliment the setup enough. Downsides: the shower is a little weak, my laptop table wobbles a bit, and there isn’t much storage, so it suits backpackers or people with few possessions. The pretty cleaners don’t speak much English, so I’m afraid a date is nigh improbable.
