Leasowe Castle Hotel, Star Camber

I stayed here whilst visiting Liverpool as it was a lot cheaper than staying in Liverpool and because it seemed more interesting. I really liked it and would do the same again. The rooms (I stayed in 32 and 43) were clean, warm, comfortable, well decorated and quiet. The hotel is full of interesting rooms and corners, plus history on the building, the lighthouse and the ship named after the building. Breakfast was nothing special but it was ok and the server very friendly. But top marks go to the customer service from Dale on reception; would give him ten stars if that was possible. Recommended.

On a tour, not staying although I had visited years ago for a business event. It has lovely views and includes the interior decorations from The Star Chamber, which is enough to excite anyone with an interest in the monarchy and the law. It is a stunning room, with charming, fresh views of green and sky. Open spaces and a cozy bar to enjoy too.

We enjoyed our stay and would gladly visit again. Our very clean room was one of the cheaper ones but it was spacious and well appointed. We enjoyed a quick drink in the bar and found the prices very reasonable and the young man serving us polite, friendly and helpful. There was a well cooked breakfast made the next morning using good quality ingredients. It was provided with table service in a pleasant dining room. We usually read reviews before booking, but on this occasion we're glad we didn't because they would have put us off and we would not have stayed. As it happens, although we booked in a hurry and then read the reviews, leaving us dreading our visit, happily our expectations were confounded. We are at a loss to recognise the hotel from some of the negative comments, which have baffled us. It is true, as others have said, that the hotel asks for a £200 deposit but, to be fair, this unusual policy is stated on the hotel's website and the deposit was refunded in full within a few hours of us checking out. This is a charming hotel with attentive, hardworking staff, offering a good service.
