Hotel O'Tooles Guest House (Liverpool, United Kingdom)

You can easily walk to city centre Liverpool in about twenty-five minutes from this industrial dock locale, and free parking is easily found down the road.  Public transportation links are a stroll away as well.  Views are over the Mersey River and surrounding area.  Quiet for the most part, but there are occasional rowdy/impolite guests/passers-by. (FYI: Although central, some felt walking alone was a risk here)

One of the receptionists is friendly and helpful, cheerfully checking guests in and showing them to their rooms.  This place could use more like him.

Comfortable and clean for the most part with cosy beds, decent bathrooms, hot showers and plenty of additional amenities available such as hair dryers, irons, towels - most for extra hire fees.    Some actually liked the quaint building and decor and felt it had lots of character.

This is a narrow, winding, crazy staircase.  Be careful and hold on, especially if you are carrying large or heavy luggage.  

You can hear the conversations in the room next door easily.  If you get rowdy types in there, don't plan on sleeping much.

This place reminds some travellers of a hostel rather than a hotel and the prices are much too high for what is provided. Outdated decor and amenities throughout the premises, holes in walls, cobwebs in the corners, unlock-able windows (not safe at all) and most areas need a good scrub. You have to pay extra for towels. Wi-Fi doesn't work. Breakfast may or may not be available, even though this is called a "Bed and Breakfast" - it costs an additional fee whenever it is available. Bathrooms may need a splash of bleach before you feel comfortable in them.
