From the moment we arrived, we felt genuinely welcome. Both Dave and his mom were incredibly friendly and went above and beyond to ensure our stay was comfortable and enjoyable. Our room was clean, cosy, and offered a lovely view of the iconic Liver Building. The location was perfect – just a short five-minute walk to the Mersey and the Ferry. Plenty of seating was available in the lounge area and there is also a pool table. Breakfast each morning was freshly cooked and absolutely delicious. We truly appreciated the warm hospitality and thoughtful touches throughout our stay. We would be delighted to return later this year and will definitely be booking again. Thank you for a memorable experience! From Shaz and Daz x

We had a wonderful stay at this family-run hotel. Dave and his mother are truly exceptional hosts—warm, welcoming, and always ready to offer helpful advice about getting around the city, where to eat, and what to see. Their hospitality made us feel right at home. One of the highlights of our stay was the breakfast—it was hands down the best English breakfast we've ever had. The quality of the food and attention to detail were outstanding. The room was comfortable overall, but the bathroom was quite small, which made moving around inside a bit inconvenient. The lighting in the bathroom was also a little dim, though that’s something that could be easily improved.

The only other minor downside is the location. We hadn’t realized it could be a bit tricky to get across the river; your options are a ferry (which stops running after 6 p.m.), a combination of bus and metro, or a taxi. It's not a major issue, but it can be a little inconvenient. That said, the quieter neighborhood offers an authentic local feel, away from the typical tourist crowds.

Had a lovely stay at the Liver View Hotel. 5 minutes walk from the ferry to Liverpool. Rooms were very clean and nicely decorated. I had a few full English breakfasts during our stay, which were very good.. David was very helpfull and able to advise us on travel in and around Liverpool. He was also able to loan us Metro cards for transport, which covered ferry, train and bus transport around Liverpool for a single fee of £6.30 per day (at the time of writing). Would definitely recommend and book again if the need arose.

Nothing

An absolute hidden gem! The rooms were well-rennovated and clean. I forgot the gentleman who owns the location's name, but he was incredibly knowledgeable about the area, provided a metro card, and helped me with my bag. The location is ideal for a ferry ride -- I was going to Belfast -- and easy walking access to where I needed to get. Next time back in Liverpool I'll be looking to stay here.

Maybe the entrance wasn't immediately obvious? I'm really struggling to find something to complain about (and I'm an American).

So impressed from start to end of stay; place is immaculately clean and room tastefully elegant; great welcome by owner and local information shared; literally 5 mins around corner from ferry across to Liverpool; beds sooo comfy; breakfast ample and perfectly cooked; 3 ply loo paper (it's the little things eh!); free wifi; 4 x double plugs; extra mile with left behind item (thank you😁) will definitely recommend and be back!

Not a lot could be done about hot weather as we prefer a cooler bedroom. Perhaps close blinds during day😎

The staff were so friendly. We were met first with the cutest dog. And then Dave, who carried our bag up to our room. Both Dave and his mum were the two people we encountered for our stay. They were the nicest people. The room was ideal for what we needed for the weekend. Dave lent us a metro card to top up so we could travel to Liverpool and back. The bed was super comfortable. The room was warm and quiet. The hotel was just a base, and perfectly located to the bus and ferry station just across the road. We chose the hotel because I wanted car parking. But turned out to be a brilliant location and we plan to return.

There was nothing we didn't like.

We were really lucky with the weather, sunshine and blue sky all day Saturday, Sunday started dull but then cleared. Easy to find, ample parking, Dave the main guy is great, really friendly, helpful and does everything, he makes a great breakfast, he was having to cope on his own, as his helper was away, Dave managed very well. Dave gave us tips for using the metro card for travelling, which we used for the "Ferry Across the Mersey" and saved us money, this can be used on trains and buses too. The bed is super comfortable. The hotel's location is 5 minutes walk to the ferry terminal and easy to use which we did on the Friday and Saturday, and a Uber on return journey which is between £14 and £20 depending on the time, be careful one guy tried to charge use £30 due to tunnel crossing but we knew he was ripping us off as its only £2.90 for a car to use the tunnel. Would stay in this location again as enjoyed the ferry crossing which made the weekend bit more interesting If you can go to the Moonshine saloon experience, we had a brilliant time

The room lighting was a little dark but i think that due to me needing glasses to pop my make up on.

Had a good stay at The Liver View for two nights to visit a relative in Birkenhead. Room had a comfortable bed, with nice, clean bedding, a great shower and tea & coffee facilities. The breakfast provided by Dave was exceptional, a wide choice of cooked breakfast as well as cereals, orange juice etc. It was all beautifully presented on white tableware in an inviting dining area. Dave is friendly and really helpful with information about getting around the area, best value transport passes etc and more. The property is well placed right near the Seacombe Ferry terminal to go over to Liverpool and buses to take you into Birkenhead centre and other Wirral destinations, Chester as well as over to Liverpool. I had a walk one evening along the nearby promenade to see the Liverpool skyline at night which was lovely.

The only issue for me was on the first evening I arrived I was hoping to walk to get something to eat. The nearest pub The Ferry which looked fine with a view of the Mersey unfortunately stopped serving at 7.30 pm on a Friday night, which was disappointing. There is however an option to go to New Brighton a short bus ride away or a two mile walk along the promenade.

This was a great find, very close to the ferry terminal. Dave and his mum were so friendly and welcoming. The room we had was very comfortable with a view over to the Liver building, as per the Hotel name. The bathroom was modern and clean with a bit shower cubicle. Tea and coffee facilities in the room was a nice touch. Breakfast was freshly cooked to order, plus cereals available to help yourself to. Plenty of parking available round the back, first come first served. It was an absolute pleasure to stay there and would definitely recommend.

It would have been nice to have an on-site bar, but that may come in time.

Cheryl made us very welcome and went over and above with helpful itineraries to make best use of our time in the area. Breakfasts - full English were delicious. The location couldn’t have been better for the ferry - 5 mins walking. Although our time was short the hotel (and ample free parking) ensured we managed to fulfil all our sightseeing plans. A very comfy bed and having a kettle in the room. It was very good value for what we paid. Thanks for the ice, Cheryl.

I’m spoilt at home and prefer a bath sheet to a bath towel. Also being able to have the use of a fan in the room would have been good in the hot nights. Leaving the windows open meant hearing traffic when it started up in the morning.
