Fabulous Birthday gift

Lovely hotel with lots of history attached to it, it was the home of Stuart Sutcliffe (the '5th Beatle'). Lots of interesting memorabilia around the hotel, a must for any Beatles fan! Nice room, spotlessly clean. Excellent breakfast, loads of food, all perfectly cooked. Really friendly staff. Right opposite Sefton Park, which is a beautiful place to wander around, (to walk off the breakfast!). We drove into the centre of Liverpool during the day, cost of parking varied between £10-£13, and used Uber's on the evening, £11-£12. We would definitely stay here again when visiting Liverpool.

Best Birthday Trip.

We had a three day trip to Edinburgh. We stayed at the Palmerston suites we were greeted by the very polite Ramana. After reading reviews of where we were staying honestly we were not looking forward to it. But on arrival at our room we were pleasantly surprised. A nice big window I lovely comfortable bed with white bedding a very useful kitchenette and a bathroom that was much needed. In fact it had everything we needed clean and well presented. If we come back to Edinburgh, I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again. Edinburgh was amazing the architecture the buildings the scenery the garden is absolutely fantastic. We loved it all.
