I know £20 for a twin room isn't expensive and the "you get what you pay for", however, seriously, unless you are coming direct from the Calais Jungle and are only staying in Liverpool for Asylum reasons then please don't stay at this "hotel/pub".
I'm sure they have heating, hot water and WIFI in the Calais Jungle, they don't here.
If you want to true Haloween experience where you will spend the entire night petrified that you'll be mugged by the local gangs of kids or your car will be vandalised than this is the place to be. Seriously, I've done 3 tours of Afghan and felt much safer (and relaxed)
I'm not dising the local area as an "outsider" as I was dragged up in Tuebrook, I just didn't realise how bad it is now, no wonder I joined the Army at 16!
If you feel the cop station opposite will give you "piece of mind" that you'll be safe, it won't, it just means their response time to your impending incident with the local kids will be reduced, to about 3 hours.
Life is to short to have to experience places like this, just stay away, stay at home, do anything else. Just don't book here.
