“Good hostel, lovely hosts”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 October 2009

This is a good hostel for a budget stay in Liverpool. At the moment, the guesthouse is being done up so there's no common or breakfast room for guests. While my room was fitted everything I needed including a TV, fridge, microwave, I would still have liked not to have to live entirely in my room! Having said that, the house was clean and my hosts were very friendly and helpful.

“Excellent value for money”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 April 2008

Stayed here for two nights whilst in Liverpool for the Grand National. Although the guest house is in the suburbs rather than the centre of town, a taxi to the racecourse was quick and reasonably priced. Rooms were clean and well-equipped and the owners were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast delivered to the room as the dining room was being renovated. Overall recommended as a cheap base in Liverpool as long you're not expecting any five-star trimmings.

“Friendly, welcoming guest house”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 June 2007

My boyfriend and I stayed here for 1 night, but found Ellan Vannin guest house most welcoming. Breakfast was delicious and arrived at the time we stated. Bob was very helpful in giving us thorough directions to our coach station after our stay. Great hospitality over the weekend. We will most certainly come back.

“A Real dump”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 June 2007

We didn't even stay it was that bad, we paid a deposit in good faith expecting the guest house to be clean and comfortable. When we pulled up most of the houses in the street were empty or boarded up, the guest looked really grubby and curtains were hanging off their curtain poles. There were two scrap cars in the drive under covers and the back garden was full of rubbish. We were showed two horrible rooms and the place stunk of grease and fat. I can only think that the other residents were homeless people. We did not feel safe staying in the guest house and just returned home instead. We were in shock all the way home.......

It is hard to respond to this
review in light of the many untruths but we will do our best. Firstly,
we regard our guesthouse as being very comfortable, clean and good
value for money. It certainly does not smell of grease and fat, in
fact we do not even own a deep fat fryer! As to the other houses in
the street, we have no control over them, except to say that our
neighbours are extremely houseproud and have spent a lot of money in
restoring their properties. There is only one house in the road that
is empty and in a state of repair and I believe it has recently been
purchased and work is to start on it shortly. As to the guesthouse
looking grubby, admittedly we are working on the porch at present and
it has had the paint removed ready for a new coat of paint. This may
have given the impression of not being particulary clean and as for
the curtains hanging off the rods, we have yet to find them so. We do
advertise off road parking, but at present space is limited as our
"classic cars" are outside under wraps to protect the paintwork, until
the garaging which is being prepared at the rear of the property has
been completed. A space for a car was offered, but as the guests had
come with two cars we assured them that they were perfectly safe on
the road. The rear of the property, does have what may be termed
rubbish, but is in fact builders rubble from our recent renovations
and will be removed with a skip soon, though how this impacts upon a
one night's stay, within a clean and comfortable guest house we have
yet to find out.

Thank you for reading this.
