Would not recommend
Would not recommend - turned up and tried to check in, only to be told that my booking could not be found and that the hotel was closed for several weeks. After some discussion, my booking was accepted and i was allowed check in. No breakfast was available, despite this being included in my booking

Awful.
When I arrived to ask about parking which wasn't obvious, I was told that Throstles tried to contact me several times unsuccessfully to inform me the Kitchen was out of commission and food was not available and they offered an upgrade to my room. The local area has KFC, Dominos, McDonalds and several others, so I stayed. The upgrade was to a room with en suite! I might have missed that I didn't have that when booking. The shower was so small a child could only comfortable shower. The Internet for that room was there, but useless as the signal was so weak. I complained the first night about this, but on the second night it wasn't fixed. You have to contact the reception every time you want to leave the hotel because the front door needs to be unlocked. Summary; no breakfast; no internet and no shower.

Budget accommodation with welcoming staff
booked at short notice to attend a stag party weekend and couldn't fault the great staff and very welcome breakfasts. It was comfortable and clean and ideal for what we wanted for the location and price. Its not 'high end' but the staff make it a great place to stay - very hospitable indeed!

Very nice friendly and helpful owner. Good location 30min walk to town or a short taxi ride. Expensive for what it is but I found all hotels in Liverpool seem to be pricey.

The hotel has a certain dated feel to it but was comfortable and the main thing is it was clean. Staff overall very friendly and helpful where they could be.

Best staff ever but no parking on site.
On the bright side, the welcome was superb and all the staff as friendly and helpful as you could ever want. Breakfast was very good as well thank you. On the down side, the hotel does NOT have free parking on site though there are unsecured parking spaces nearby - in my opinion, the hotel description needs changing for that reason. The shower was tiny and when I turned around I turned the tap off lol but overall it was perfectly sited for our visit to Everton which we loved.

Nice hotel close to Goodison Park
This is a nice, independent hotel outside the business of downtown Liverpool. It is not a five star resort so don't stay here if that's what you are after. But if you want a clean room with great service at a good price, you can't beat this hotel. Kevin and the staff will do a great job taking care of you from breakfast to tourist ideas.

Little gem
This little gem of a hotel was fantastic. The owner made is feel very welcome and all our needs were catered for. He even gave us a map of the city and helped plan our routes so we would not get lost. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Cooked breakfast was 10/10. Fantastic choice from contanental to cooked with a choice of how you like your eggs. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone. Our first time visiting but certainly won't be our last.

good bed and breakfast
The hotel was a distance from train station, but, a number of city buses go from Queen's Square (near train station) right along Scotland Road making it quite easy to get around. Breakfast at the hotel was very nice and was a full English breakfast. Hotel staff were nice.

Great authentic alternative to regular chain hotel
My second visit. Certainly not my last. Well equipped rooms, cracking breakfast, superb friendly staff, and all only a 10-13 minute walk, short bus, or £3.50 cab ride away from the absolute centre of Liverpool. You get a very personal experience here, owned and run by proper old school scousers, and at half the price or less of most other hotels. We much prefer this than a characterless chain hotel you could find anywhere. Get over the fact that it's not in a pretty building or immediate area and you'll love the experience in this hotel. Enjoy.

Not spectacular but it's alright
This place is a small boutique hotel about 20 minutes walk from Liverpool city center but right next to a bus stop. The rooms are small, especially the bathroom and they're a bit dated. Still, a descent place and the staff are very friendly. The breakfast was really good. The owner hooked us up with a way to get seats for Liverpool games! Only one draw back, there's a bar right annexed to the hotel and because all the rooms are mostly on the first floor it can be loud till midnight or so on weekends. Apart from that, pretty good bed and breakfast. Not a four star rating though!

The outside of the Hotel was nothing like the picture on Hotel.com but you don't sleep on the outside. lol Enjoy stay staff very friendly and helpful. Ask for Breakfast to been grill and was done and the service and Breakfast was really lovely. Only think that we found was that because we smoked you have to buzz back into the Hotel. Apart from that I would tell Family and Friends.

Historic hotel, multi story, no lift.
Kevin, the owner, made every effort to assist my disabled, elderly parent up/down the stairs. All staff so helpful, friendly and willing to do whatever to make a guest's stay comfortable. They are all experts on Liverpool. Great, cooked to order, full English breakfast. Good, reasonably priced place, easy access to all parts of Liverpool. Must have no mobility issues due to stairs and no lift.

Central location
Throstles Nest Hotel was a very nice surprize as from the outside it is very deceiving and appears run down but once you get inside the front door it opens up to a new world. The service was good and food great. It is an older hotel and well kept.

Liverpool hotels were ridiculously expensive on this weekend. This place was the only one to have a room at a reasonable rate. Therefore its basic but reasonable

15 minutes walk from city centre...
...but in a very run down area. The hotel is about the only building nearby not boarded up. Hotel is on a dual carriage way. 15 minutes walk to city centre, but there is a nearby bus stop. Room adequate. Breakfast good, but early finish.
