Top National Waterways Museum Hotel Reviews

Crowne Plaza Liverpool - John Lennon Airport by IHG

8/10 Good

"Helpful staff, big room, nice bed, nice shower, but no hotel air con on the warmest wknd of the year so far?! Killer!"

The Mill Hotel & Spa

4/10 Poor

"A lot of money for the standards. Broken glass near the outside seating areas clearly left from the night before. The hotel is dated and could do with being modernised. The full English breakfast was awful - undercooked, fatty and tasteless bacon, poor quality sausages, cold toast, no mushrooms was just unappealing."

Hampton by Hilton Liverpool/John Lennon Airport

2/10 Terrible

"This was, unfortunately, the worst hotel experience I have ever had. I rarely leave negative reviews, but my stay was so disappointing that I felt compelled to share my experience. This was my first visit to Liverpool for an event, and I would like to start by recognising Richard at the front desk on Friday, 22 May 2026. He was extremely helpful in guiding me to the hotel car park and made me feel welcome and at ease after a long journey. The front desk team, particularly Richard and the night shift manager, were the only positive aspects of my stay. The biggest issue was the breakfast service and the attitude of the kitchen staff. During check-in, I was informed that breakfast was served from 4:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m., with hot food available from 6:00 a.m. On Saturday, 23 May, I went for breakfast at approximately 8:30 a.m. and asked a member of staff whether I needed to be checked in before entering the breakfast area. Her response was cold and dismissive, with no eye contact, smile, or attempt to be welcoming. She directed me to another colleague, who displayed a similarly unfriendly attitude. When I reached the buffet area, many of the hot food trays were empty. There were no scrambled eggs, mushrooms, croissants, or beans available. I informed a member of staff, who said she would check with the kitchen. However, there was no sense of urgency or concern, despite breakfast service still having an hour and a half remaining. I waited approximately 15 minutes before some."

Brook Hall Hotel

4/10 Poor

"This should have been lovely, spa bath in room, bathrobes etc but unfortunately it was disappointing. Tied decor, no bathroom lock, the noisiest flush on a toilet I’ve ever heard, bath plug didn’t fit properly so water drained away, window handle broken so it couldn’t be opened (it was over 30degrees that day). The reception area smelled like a carvery which was off putting. My biggest issue was that we booked a room specifically for the 3 single beds but it was made up as a double and a single which was not what we wanted."

Inglewood Manor

6/10 Okay

"We were very unimpressed with the state of the building. We were in a tiny room in the attic with a bathroom that had no air con or extraction or any window that would open. The main room had a single socket that was practicably useful but from which it was impossible to position a fan to point at the beds. The patio area outside had broken glass on it that they seemed oblivious to until we raised it. It was cleared up half an hour later. There was torn wallpaper in one of the corridors. Overall, the quality of the building fell below what I had experienced on previous stays. We were entitled to a 20% Expedia discount which wasn't factored into our check out bill until I queried it. Had I not queried it, I don't believe that I would have had my discount. Food quality was good. The number of unavailable items was a concern. Both of our starters were not available. At breakfast, Eggs Benedict was off because they had run out of muffins. How does a competent procurement operation run out of muffins? It's not like they have a shelf life measured in hours! The hotel is a wedding venue. The material in the bar seemed to indicate a (starting?) price of about £10,000 yet the bar could not do basic cocktails. Four were available: all from a cannister through a bartop tap. There were 3 types of Martini and a Strawberry Daiquiri. We tried the Strawberry Daiquiri and it tasted synthetic. I had stayed here before without problem but not again"

Macdonald Craxton Wood Hotel & Spa, Chester

10/10 Excellent

"We took our grandchildren for the evening. The only downside was we arrived at 6.10 and the pool for the children closed at 6. Had we known, we’d have arrived earlier. The room was a bit dated but clean and big. There were 3 beds so it was comfortable and spotless. The staff were absolutely lovely. We went in the pool the following day and it was gorgeous. The kids loved it. The products throughout were Elemis which was a luxury. We will definitely be going again."
