Embassie Backpackers, hotel in Chester

The Embassie is a 200 years old, vintage mansion and the first hostel in Liverpool. Located in the Georgian Quarter, the property is a 12 minutes walk from the city center.

The location is within the Georgian sector, which is stunning architecturally. The room was large and spacious with tall ceiling. Female toiletry facilities were on a separate floor to the mixed sex facilities below (one man overlooked the large FEMALES sign). I was unable to reach the accommodation until after midnight. With 24-hour security they kindly accommodated me after the cut off check-in time. Breakfast consisted of help-yourself fresh bread, toasted if you wanted, a whole range of spreads, breakfast cereal, dairy and plant-based milks in the fridge, fruit, etc.

Looking for a hostel?
Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    Great location, beautiful building inside and out. The staff were so friendly and helpful. Very clean room and good value for money. Bed really comfy :) We wouldn’t hesitate to book again! Let us check in a bit early and kept our luggage in a safe place on our last day so we could explore for longer.

    Staff were very friendly and the hotel is in a great location next to the canal. It's a short walk along the canal and up past the lock keepers arms and straight down a high street right into the city centre. We parked the car in the hotel car park which was safe and secure. Breakfast was buffet style and was very nice and plenty of everything.

    The property was in a great location, within walking distance to the city centre. Check in was easy and had a perfect (free) parking spot on the street outside. Was cheap and cheerful, ideal for our one night stay.

    The staff were friendly and helpful. Great location for access to everything. Good to have use of a washer and dryer, and I loved having a fridge and being able to prepare meals in the evenings. Comfortable and spacious room. Overall I felt it was a safe and comfortable stay at a budget price. Definitely a good choice if you're staying more than a couple of days. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff.
