Eviivo Small, Liverpool Hotels

I was looking for a budget hotel to stay in after a night out in Southport. I wasn't expecting much when I booked The Albert & Victoria but was surprised when I arrived. I had booked a single room which was a little on the small side but it had a good sized bed, well equipped en suite, fresh clean sheets & towels. The hotel is in a good location on the Southport promenade & about a 5 minute walk from the town centre. This is an old building so is a little bit of a warren, & as far as I could tell there was no lift, but there are rooms on the ground floor for people who have difficulty with stairs.

This is the second time we have stayed here and it was great. For the price you pay compared to other places, it is great value. It can seem quite far from the town center but minicabs during the day cost about £5 and in the evening (mostly early hours) it cost approx £10. We took our car and they had their own car park. Breakfast was great. All you can eat croissants, bread, yogurts, fruit, tea, coffee, juice etc and you could have it whatever time you wanted and also take it back to your room. You do need to share the toilet and shower but this was never a problem and it was always empty when we wanted to use it.

This hotel was exactly as advertised ,very clean and the breakfast was very good and lots of it, we enjoyed our stay which only enhanced our visit to southport thank you for the good service.

We stayed here for a friends birthday as a couple. It is a slightly weird set up - you get emailed a security code to the front door and your bedroom door. There is no deadlock on the inside of the door - so whilst I am sure they change the code every day (??) I was a bit nervous. The rooms could also do with a safe or something similar. All that said, the rooms were clean, spacious and warm. When we arrived there was no off street parking, as there is probably only space for 3 cars on the front. So we parked a few meters away on a side road.

I would definitely recommend this B&B. Great value for money.
