DO NOT STAY HERE! I…read morehave stayed in hostels all across Europe and this is hands down the filthiest and most disgusting place I have ever been. You absolutely get what you pay for here, and I suggest looking at other hostels or Airbnb's if you ever visit Liverpool. Here are my complaints: 1. There was literally a hole in my mattress. Like someone punched a hole through the bed. 2. No one was available to check me in. They essentially left a key in my room and told me to deal with it. 3. The bathrooms are shared and unkempt. They smell like piss and none of the stalls had toilet paper. 4. The room smelled moldy. 5. The door did not lock. Now, I arrived to this hostel after a full workday, 3 hour drive to Pittsburgh, connecting flight through Reykjavik to Dublin, spent the entire day in Dublin, and then flew to Liverpool at 8 pm on the second day. Needless to say, I was completely exhausted and still considered leaving when I saw the state of the place. If I was a female, I would never ever have stayed here. This place is a shithole, and this is coming from someone who has a very low bar that needs to be met for me to be content.

I was pleasantly surprised by how enjoyable my stay here was. I booked a bed here purely for…read morereasons of minimizing cost and being as close to Anfield as possible. For reasons I can't quite recall, I wasn't able to stay a full 24 hours in the city when I came up from London. Essentially, I came up late at night, watched the Liverpool match the next day (it was an early kickoff) and caught the train back immediately afterward. Anyway, I found the Everton Hostel to be quite a cozy place in spite of its very unassuming exterior appearance (I remember that more than one home on the terrace had been boarded up). What really impressed me however was the friendliness of the staff and how well they accommodated my circumstances. I was given a ride from Lime Street station to the hostel very soon after arriving and was allowed to bypass the check out deadline due to the fact that I wouldn't be able to bring my belongings into the Liverpool match. In sum, this would be a very suitable place for anyone just looking to stay in the city long enough to catch a football match. However, for those looking to experience the city proper I would take a look at options closer to the city center.

Finally got a reply and was told they don't reserve bunks and that it's first come first served. That's not very accommodating. Luckily my reservation was fully refundable so I immediately canceled and made reservations at another place nearby. Actually found a hotel for nearly the same price.
