The hotel is conveniently located right in the city centre, providing easy access to excellent Speke restaurants. The rooms are spacious and modern, offering great value for money. The friendly staff enhance the overall experience. However, the noisy surroundings can be bothersome especially during peak hours.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location was fantastic, right near the city center and surrounded by excellent Speke restaurants. The rooms were cozy and clean, and the staff was incredibly friendly. However, the dining experience left a bit to be desired with limited light bites available. The facilities, especially the on-site pool, were top-notch. The value for money was reasonable, although some amenities required additional fees.
