The Knowsley B&B

The bedroom and bathroom were clean.

Me and my friend stayed here one night whilst coming to see a show at the Anfield. On locating the hotel we thought it was closed down due to the outside appearance being neglected and shutters being down on all first floor windows or doors. The area seemed and felt quite rough and the burnt out building across the road did not help this, though I appreciate that that probably wasn’t to do with the hotel. Next to the main entrance and buzzer to access the building was a small wall and the outside bins, which had a dead rat next to them around a metre or two away from the main door. Upon accessing the building and being given the main door code, we went to the first floor in search of a reception desk to ask some questions as when we spoke to over the door buzzer had just told us that our room key was on the outside of our door but we had not been told which room we were in. There was no reception desk or staff seen the duration of our stay, other than three workmen that were in and out. I stayed on the first floor as my friend went back downstairs to click the buzzer as that was the only way we could get in contact with any staff. When we got to our room, the door was open and the key was just sat on the desk. The room itself wasn’t a bad size, wasn’t badly cleaned and not were the bathrooms. Overall, definitely not worth the £75 price tag and would’ve rather spent and extra £20 on something nicer nearby. If the room was £20/30 I would’ve expected this and had less right to complain about it.
