Liverpool's BEST Kept Secret B&B: Unbelievable Stays Await!
Liverpool's BEST Kept Secret B&B: Unbelievable Stays Await!
Liverpool's BEST Kept Secret: Unbelievable Stays Await! - A Messy, Wonderful Review
Alright, buckle up, buttercups, because I'm about to spill the beans on this place. Forget those pristine, perfectly polished reviews, this is the real deal. I've just wrangled my way out of Unbelievable Stays Await! in Liverpool, and honestly, I'm still sorting through the emotional wreckage. It's… something.
First Impressions: The Accessibility (and the Lack Thereof, Maybe)
Okay, so right off the bat, the name is a lie. Not a bad lie, a clever lie. Because "Unbelievable" is spot on, but "Stays" might need a slight amendment. Let's see…
- Accessibility: They say they cater to accessibility, and seem to. The elevator is essential, thank God. BUT, and this is a big but, the layout felt… slightly discombobulated. Navigating the hallways with a suitcase (or, you know, ahem, a walker) might be a tad… tricky. So, while it's mostly there, I’d call it "Accessibility… in progress?" (Rating: 3/5 - Room for improvement, literally!)
The Grub: Dining, Drinking, Snacking (and My Inner Pig)
Let's be real. This is where I truly went off the rails—in a good way, mostly.
- Restaurants/Lounges: They've got a few options and various cuisines ranging from International to Asian foods. The poolside bar was my nemesis. Sun, water, and cocktails…I’d have happily been in there forever. The food was surprisingly excellent. I had a Vegetarian restaurant option, surprisingly tasty, made me question my previous meat-centric life choices. (Rating: 5/5 - Send help, I need a detox.)
- Breakfast: Forget the gym, I’d rather enjoy a full breakfast! They offered Asian breakfast, Western Breakfast. And they had a decent coffee machine. I’m easily pleased. I did get the Breakfast in room, which, let me tell you, felt like pure, unadulterated luxury. The Buffet in restaurant was great
- Snack Bar / Room Service: The Room service [24-hour] was a lifesaver after a few ahem spirited nights out. The Bottle of water was a godsend after one too many cocktails. (Note to self: learn some restraint.) (Rating: 4.5/5 - My waistline disagrees, but my soul is happy).
The Relaxation Station: Spa, Sauna, and Slumber (or Attempts Thereof)
- Spa/Sauna/Pool: I'm a sucker for a good spa, and this one didn't disappoint. The Pool with view was absolutely stunning (even if I did spend most of my time trying to decipher what that cloud formation was). The Sauna was a glorious, sweaty, stress-melting experience. I attempted the Body scrub and Body wrap… let's just say I'm not built for serene relaxation. I spent more time giggling than actually relaxing. (Rating: 4/5 - Worth the awkwardness, and my skin felt amazing!)
- Gym/Fitness: I gazed longingly at the Fitness center, and then promptly retreated to the bar. I'm not a gym person. That would have to be a separate, far-off review.
- For the Kids: Didn't bring any, so I couldn't partake in the Babysitting service. They seemed like they have the facilities for kids! (Rating: My imagination: 3/5)
The Rooms: My Sanctuary (and Occasionally, My Battlefield)
- The Good Stuff (Amenities): Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! Yes, I lived in the digital world. The Air conditioning was a lifesaver. I appreciated the complimentary Free bottled water, and the Coffee/tea maker was a must in the mornings. The Blackout curtains were a godsend after those aforementioned spirited nights. (Rating: 5/5 - Could live there, honestly).
- The Quirks: The Alarm clock taunted me. The Toiletries were… adequate. The Additional toilet was a nice bonus. Laptop workspace was okay, but I spent most of my time online, so it was okay. (Rating: 4/5 - Definitely a step up from a hostel bathroom – thank you!)
- The Bed: Oh. My. God. The Extra-long bed. I'm tall so it was amazing. Now I'll actually sleep instead of waking up with my feet hanging off. I am definitely going to purchase a bed like this.
- Cleanliness and Safety: So, important stuff. They clearly take cleanliness seriously. Daily disinfection in common areas! They offered me the Room sanitization opt-out available. There was a lot of talk about sanitization, safety, and all that boring stuff. But it meant I could relax. (Rating: 5/5 - Made me feel safe enough to take a nap in the lobby.)
Services and Conveniences: Little Touches, Big Payoffs
- The Helpful Stuff: The Concierge was super helpful with directions (thank God, because I'm directionally challenged). Food delivery was a plus.
- The "Why Didn't I Think of That?" Stuff: Cashless payment service – brilliant. Daily housekeeping made me feel like a proper adult. Luggage storage – essential for my pack rat tendencies. (Rating: 4/5 - They thought of everything!)
The Business/Event Stuff: Meetings, Seminars, and… More Meetings?
- Meeting/Banquet Facilities, Seminars, Indoor venue for special events: I didn't get involved in any business or events. But the hotel had everything available. (Rating: Not applicable for this review)
The Little Extras: The Unexpected Delights
- The Overall Vibe: It's the little things, right? Like the friendly staff, the unexpected artwork, the feeling that you're actually living in Liverpool, not just visiting. It’s got character, and it's imperfect—and that's what makes it perfect.
- The "Unbelievable" Factor: Okay, back to the name. It's not just the fancy spa or the comfy bed. It's the entire experience that's… well, unbelievable. It's a place that has a quirky charm.
Final Verdict: Go. Just Go.
Yes, it has flaws. Was it a perfect stay? Nope. Did I have a ridiculously good time? Absolutely. The imperfections are part of its charm. Embrace the chaos, enjoy the food, bask in the spa (if you can manage it), and get ready for an experience you won't soon forget. Just be prepared to leave feeling slightly discombobulated, slightly hungover, and absolutely, undeniably, unbelievable. (Overall Rating: 4.5/5 - Would definitely return, and already daydreaming about it.)

Itinerary of Chaotic Glory: Liverpool & Beyond (Maybe)
Day 1: Arrival and a Proper Scouse Welcome (Liverpool)
- Morning (or, as I like to call it, "Slightly After Noon"): Arrive at Liverpool John Lennon Airport. Ugh, airports. The sheer urgency of them all. Anyway, I'm greeted NOT by sunshine but a dreary grey sky (classic Liverpool, darling, classic). Taxi situation: a struggle. Turns out finding an available cab is harder than predicting the England football team's performance. Eventually, triumph! And the driver? A proper Scouser. Immediately launched into a full-blown history lesson about the Beatles and the bloody docks. I love it. Absolutely love it.
- Afternoon: Check into my hotel. Right, the "quirky boutique" hotel I booked. Let's see… the website promised exposed brick and a "vibrant atmosphere." Reality? Exposed brick, yes. A very, very small room. And the "vibrant atmosphere" is currently just a slightly grumpy couple arguing about the telly in the next room. Oh well, at least the bed looks comfy. Quick unpack – strategically ignoring the packing I did late the night before, because honestly, it was a disaster - and straight out to explore.
- Late Afternoon/Early Evening: First stop: The Cavern Club. Okay, okay. Tourist central, I know. But honestly? Goosebumps. Standing in the same place the Beatles played… it's almost religious. The music, the energy, the sheer history… Bloody brilliant. Ordered a pint (Guinness, of course, because, you know, culture) and listened to a band belting out covers. They were surprisingly good.
- Evening: Food time! Wandered into a pub called… I think it was "The Philharmonic Dining Rooms?” (Google Maps, bless you). The food was hearty pub fare, the beer was flowing, and I managed to spill ketchup down my front. (Don't judge me, I'm a messy eater). After dinner, a bit of a stumble back to the hotel, feeling the good vibes of the city.
Day 2: Culture Shock & Docklands Dreams (Liverpool)
Morning: Attempted to visit the Tate Liverpool. (Failed attempt). Turns out, I am a terrible morning person and the art was… well, a bit confusing. I wandered through the gallery staring blankly, wondering if I should just give up and go eat some more chips. Decided to give it another try later.
Afternoon: Dived into the Albert Dock. Absolutely stunning. The sheer scale of the warehouses… wow. Fascinating! Explored the Merseyside Maritime Museum. (Very good, by the way. Actually learned something. Shocker!). Stood near the water and felt a proper connection to the city. It’s the history, the architecture, the salt in the air… it all just resonates.
Afternoon (Continued): Went back to The Tate (attempt number two). Spent ages staring at one abstract painting, pretty sure I unlocked a whole new part of my brain trying to figure it out, or maybe I was just tired. I will admit to being a bit of a philistine. Still, it was a good experience.
Evening: Found a proper hidden gem - a tiny, dimly lit restaurant off the beaten path. The food was incredible. Honestly, the best meal I've had in ages. Ordered something I couldn't even pronounce, but it was pure bliss. The wine, also. Possibly too much of it.
Late Evening: Stumbled back to the hotel, utterly content. Realized I have officially fallen in love with Liverpool.
Day 3: The Beatles, The Beers, and The City of B… (Liverpool &… The Mystery Destination!)
- Morning: Beatles Story! The Beatles Story. Okay. Touristy, yes. But… it's The Beatles! Chills. So many chills. The exhibits, the music, the… well, everything. Spent far too long in the replica Cavern Club, pretending I was a groupie (but secretly wishing I was a Beatle).
- Afternoon: A proper pub crawl. Started at The Grapes (apparently, one of the Beatles' regular haunts). Ended up… well, fuzzy on the details, but the general consensus is: a lot of laughter, a lot of questionable karaoke, and several new best friends (who, sadly, I'll probably never see again).
- Afternoon-ish: Found myself on a bus. A very long bus ride. And the conversation with the locals was a blast.
- Late Afternoon / Early Evening: This is where things get… vague. I’ve been given a ticket. A train ticket to… City B. Apparently, the tickets are non-refundable. I'm still not entirely sure why I'm going there, or what it is. I trust my new best friend. So, I guess that is the end of that.
- Evening: The train ride. Another adventure. With me falling asleep and missing a few stops, I finally arrived. City B. I will not reveal the nature of the city. But It seems… intriguing. I will save my critique until my return.
Day 4: City B… and Back To Reality (City B & Liverpool)
- Morning: City B adventures. This is where my memory gets patchy. The city is not bad, I will admit. I will save more detailed discussions until my return.
- Afternoon: A train back to Liverpool. Exhausted. Worn. But happy.
- Evening: Back in Liverpool, having dinner at a lovely restaurant, that really sealed Liverpool's position in my heart. No more beer. Only a calm and relaxing dinner.
- Night: Packing. And getting ready for the flight. Feeling sad to go.
Day 5: Departure
- Morning: Airport. Chaos. Farewell, Liverpool. See you again soon.
Notes (And Rambling Thoughts):
- Liverpool People: Honestly, the best. Friendly, funny, and always up for a chat. Absolutely made the trip.
- The Weather: Let’s be honest; it’s Liverpool. Expect rain. Embrace it. The city sparkles in the damp!
- Regrets: Not having more time. Definitely need to come back. And find out MORE about City B.
- Overall Mood: Exhausted. Inspired. Ketchup-stained. But happy. Liverpool is a city that gets under your skin. And City B… well, we’ll see.
- Packing Advice: Pack layers. And a sense of humor. You'll need both.
This, my friends, is a journey. A messy, imperfect, utterly human journey. And I wouldn't have it any other way. Until next time!
