Just a quick one, my birthday is coming up soon and a few of us are thinking of having a look over to Liverpool for the night......

Basically we're just getting cheap digs ie. TravelLodge but the nearest we can get is Wirral Eastham.

Is this a 'mare to get to town from?
I'm assuming there's a local train service (ie. a bit like the Metro we could use)

Any infor would be great.
Thanks

thats ******* miles away, and about £20 in a taxi proper nightmare

try hotel formula 1 or some others in city centre

There is a train that goes from there into town, until quite late, but I've no idea where in the Wirral that place is.
There's a youth hostel on the waterfront though - 10 minutes walk from town centre.
There's another travel lodge type of place along Aigburth road - about a fiver away from town in a taxi. 40-odd quid a night, if I remember rightly.

Hotel Formula 1 - is that the one just down the road from the youth hostel - opposite the Albert dock?

LOL just aswell I check, it reckons it's 5.6 miles from the centre

Tried Dockland and City Centre but there were both full.

Ian_S

yes its down by albert dock, not too sure on hotels living so near though, eastham is out past bromborough, it cost me £10 in taxi last time to wallasey from town so eastham is at least double that

Ian_S

asked about in work, told to try dolby hotel and campanile (spelling) both nearby to albert dock etc

Adelphi isnt that expensive. its crap but you get to watch the chavs fighting for free on the steps outside

The train services stops about 11:30 back from Liverpool, which is ****. Taxi drivers are less than willing to come over to the wirral. The cheapest local hotel to Eastham is prob. the Village in Bromborough, if you book a taxi via the Village they may well pick you from town. A tunnel bus service runs from Liverpool back to Birkenhead not sure of the timings though and get a cab from Bhead back to village hotel, only about 4 miles.

Those two are very close (next door) to the Albert Dock. They're not much but if its just for the night then go for it, quite cheap aswell. I think the last time i stayed in the Dolby it was £38.00 a night

PS I've not stayed in the Campanile

LOL bit OT but what the hell. . .

Liverpool is the only place in the UK that "travel inn" have installed bullet proof glass into the reception. (1 year old info)

And there's another one right next to it, just past the Casino.
I work in the watersports centre right next to there

Just back from a night out in L/pool last night (absolutely fooked ) We stayed at the Moathouse in the Albert DOcks, cost us £60 for a room, right in the city centre, not the best Moathouse I've ever stayed in but its close to where everythin was. Would recommend u organise a meal in a restaurant somewhere as the food wasnt the best. They have a deal with the NCP car park next door that gives u 24hr parking for £5.50.
