It's difficult to find a suitable hotel arrangement when you're travelling as a 3 - who sleeps…read morewhere, and is a hotel room really going to big enough to keep everyone happy when you're spending a few quiet hours between shopping and your evening meal? This is where serviced apartments come in very handy. They give you the space you need and lets you relax a little bit more than a hotel. After all, no one's coming knocking at 8am to try and clean... Staycity is located on Duke Street, so mere moments away from Liverpool One and parallel to Bold/Lever/Seel/Fleet, where you'll find a hub of independent activity. It's easy to find and makes it very easy to pop back during the day and drop off your shopping bags if required! Service from the front desk staff was super friendly throughout our stay. As it's 24 hours, they're always there if you need something, and both check in and check out were very simple. Noise wasn't a huge issue whilst staying as, although we could hear people in the hallway, you couldn't hear anything above or either side of you. We also managed to avoid actually seeing anyone other than the front desk staff during our stay, which made it feel a bit more like home! The apartment itself was nice, with a twin room and sofa bed, and kitchen area with fridge, washing machine etc. The kitchen itself was well equipped enough, though there was no baking tray which proved slightly difficult at one point. The bathroom was a nice size though the smell of bleach was really overpowering when we first arrived and didn't exactly fade during our stay. The courtyard is currently under construction so there wasn't exactly an excellent view, though the weather wasn't balcony-ready anyway! There are many benefits to this particular serviced apartment but I think the price would keep many people away. The hotel scene in Liverpool isn't great at the best of times, with even the Premier Inn and the like coming out as too expensive for many, and I don't think Staycity will be changing that any time soon.

Terrible for tenants. Please please save yourself the trouble and look elsewhere. Landlords -…read moreplease don't put your tenants through this expensive nightmare (or see your house fall apart because they ignore tenant complaints)! I've rented from around a dozen places across the country and this branch of RR is the worst by a long long way. I paid my exhorbitant fees (around £210) and applied to a house in Preston 6 weeks before I wanted to move in. The day before RR told me my contract wasn't ready and I needed to wait a week - forcing me into a hotel for 7 nights. Once I moved in they completely stopped replying to emails and phone calls. It took complains to head office and 3 months to even get a reply to simple questions. The shower and toilet started leaking at different points, which happens - but RR took weeks to contact the landlord, weeks to send anybody out to look, and none of those things were fixed when I moved out 6 months later. Next the roof started to leak, causing damp and mould in 2 rooms. Again, it happens, but RR still hadn't even arranged anybody to look at it nearly 3 months later when I moved out. When I tried to move out, I gave my notice but was told I'd be kicked out earlier than my notice date. It took weeks of emails and phone calls (while I was on holiday) for RR to finally admit they made a mistake and couldn't kick me out of a random day of their choosing. Now, a month after moving out I still don't have my deposit back and I've just been told they sent it to the wrong account number. There are many other things that are too boring, long, complicated and frustrating to type out here. For the record, no deductions were made from my deposit - I'm a good tenant! The owners were great when I finally got to speak to them, and we were able to sort everything out in one phone call as soon as we stopped involving RR! Avoid at all costs.

The service we had from Reeds Rains in Preston was fantastic-up to the point we signed the rental…read moreagreement and unlocked the 7 months of hell we were getting ourselves into. The house was filthy on the day of move in comparing to when we first viewed the home. They had the nerve to lie to us and tell us it was clean beforehand, the branch manager saying "I used to be a squaddie, I know clean." The walls were marked and unpainted and the carpets smelled of wet dog. We cleaned it as best we could and made a home of it out of determination. A very impersonal service culminated with an oven that did not work or ignite properly, and multiple week long gaps of a "serviceman" coming out and tinkering with it, saying it was fixed, only for it to break again the next day. The home was originally advertised as "white goods included." The house was basically full of old useless garbage, rusty cutlery, a damaged microwave, and the first Dyson model hoover ever, all of which DID NOT WORK. We were not allowed to throw any of it away and had to resort to boxing it up in the shed. Towards the end of our tenancy they constantly bombarded us with new viewings, and repeatedly called to "confirm" appointments we had not agreed to. When we left the home we cleaned it well and it was in a far better condition than when we arrived. The landlord subsequently had elected to keep half of our deposit as "a removal fee" for items we apparently left there. We left nothing of ours, so no doubt they are talking about their own useless garbage which we wanted to throw in the skip (where it belongs) the whole time. Do yourself a favor. If you are going to let with anybody, dont do it with Reeds Rains. They are a corporate robot who care nothing for Tenants. The service is biased in favor of the landlord only and they will help the landlord do all they can to rip you off. You are not a paying customer to them you are a commodity.

The room not suitable for to cater 3 couples at all !! including a broken window. Prostitutes hanging about the bar addressing staff by first name in their linked hotel where we sat when waiting 7hours for someone to be around with a key. 24 hour concierge??? HA yeah right !!! Being charged for the first nights stay for a room in which we never got to sleep in due to the mistake of the business ! The room was nothing like the photos , its an actual pitty i did not take photos of the state that the appartment enterance was in , also not the building in the picture we were POINTED(lack of customer care) down a roadway to a different building and handed keys to open. Window was broke in the room - told we could not have another room till later that day after already having to hang around ALL NIGHT for somebody to be back at reception! In the end we did not stay with the hotel, and after trying to speak with management who was not available to speak untill monday which was absolute BULLSH*T because they knew our flight back to dublin was that day, we got in writting that we would be refunded the E200 deposit that we left. On arrival back to dublin i checked the account to find that the hotel had still not given back our 200 PLUS they decided to charge us an additional E250 ? So in total that was E450 for somewhere that we did not recieve any service at all and we were actually over charged as it wasnt the deal that we booked in for in the first place it was supposed to be alot cheaper !!! And with that the managment of the premises was an absolute nightmare to deal with - RUDE RUDE RUDE!

As retirement complexes go, this place is pretty cool. Not that I'm overly familiar with such…read moreplaces (yet) you understand... my father-in-law moved up here from Nantwich and really enjoys his wee flat. There are several separate 3-storey buildings set in the well-groomed grounds of the complex, each with their own self-contained apartments. Everything is accessed by key fob so it's very secure, and the apartments are very well proportioned and laid out. They even get postal service right to the door! . The main building at the entrance houses the administration, restaurant area, gym, hair salon and other communal amenities, and a guest room that you can rent at very reasonable rates when you come to visit your elderly relative. We've used this facility a few times now and it's much better than staying in a budget hotel.
