Avis : Embassie Backpackers

Friendly and helpful staff. Just that there are not many sockets to charge electrical devices.

I arrived late in the middle of the night from the Liverpool airport and couldn't check-in until around 7-7:30 a.m. I was mostly grateful to just have a place to lay my head down and catch up on some much needed sleep. Thankfully, the family that runs the hostel was very friendly and supportive when I came in. Everyone at the hostel was very nice and I felt "at home" right away. I appreciated that. I certainly enjoy the feeling of being "welcomed" rather than feeling uneasy and watched which can happen in many other cities and countries. Like others have mentioned, the overall building could use some renovations but it is sufficient enough for one or two nights. The location is ideal. If you are looking to get a quick glance or preview of the center of the city, it is very convenient to walk to. I was glad to have access to most of the main sites as well as the waterfront (near the Tate and Liverpool Museum) by foot without having to get on a bus.

It was basic and the bedroom was small but everything was smooth and did what was promised. It was super cheap and good as a place to flop if briefly in Liverpool.
