Not a queen sized bed, 2 bed's together that you fall down the middle and uncomfortable, bathroom window didn't open and everything got wet when it steamed up, lovely building but needs modernisation.

Good Afternoon, DavidI apologise that your stay was not everything you expected. We take all feedback on board and act where possible. I can confirm that despite the bed being a zip and link it is still a queen sized bed. I hope you can return to Rainhill Hall in the near future and see our vast improvements. Many thanks,

Kept awake all night by people coming in and out of the place. Literally until at least 4am. You can hear everything thats going on throughout the whole building from your room. On top of this when i went to get a shower the following morning, no hot water. Wouldn't stay again.

Good Afternoon, IanWe are sorry to hear you didn't enjoy your stay at Rainhill Hall. We take all feedback on board and act where we can. I have looked at your reservation and seen that you were allocated R26. The water issue you encountered was due to age of the building. We do have continues hot water but that room does take a few seconds to warm up, but I can assure you the room does have hot water. Also the day you chose to stay was vastly busier than normal due to it being bank holiday. Again, we will take this feedback and continue to work towards improving our guests stay in the future. Many thanks,

Response from Libby - Reception on 7 Apr 2024
Good Afternoon, ShelbieSorry to hear your stay wasn't everything you expected. We take all feedback on board and act where we can. We unfortunately do not have a spa onsite anymore. It closed in June 2023. It was a separate company, we may get a new spa in the future but for now we do not advertise as a spa hotel. The room you were requested and allocated was the Bridal Suite which had just been redecorated and the flowers had been removed as they didn't fit the new décor. The bridal suite comes equipped with two bronze baths. This makes it different to the other rooms on offer. We could not have allowed you to use other rooms for the request of spa bath as you were not allocated any of those rooms. I can confirm that the bridal does come equipped with a queen sized bed. I do apologise for the cold water, due to the age of the building the hot water may take a few minutes to heat up. Again, I do apologise if this was not communicated to you. In regards to the mess in the car park. We are surrounded by woodlands, unfortunately its unavoidable where nature decides to land. We also have our fire alarm checked regularly, so I can assure you the alarms are not faulty. I do hope you give Rainhill Hall another chance in the future and you can see the improvements we are continuing to make. Many thanks,

Have stayed here couple of times before so know the hotel is lovely. Wasn't so impressed with our allocated room this time though. I booked a luxury room and expected it to be a little luxurious, but unfortunately it wasn't. Room was quite small and narrow and a little dated and the window didn't open at all which made the room really stuffy resulting in condensation dripping on to the window sill in the morning. overall lovely hotel, but expected more for a 'luxury room'.

Very poor hotel
Second visit to this hotel, first visit ok although the shower had no shower curtain so the floor got soaked and was slippery, complained to receptionist but they were not interested, saying no one else had complained. Open to a slip claim there. This second visit was worse still. Room 24, no heating in the toilet and in winter was freezing. Ladybugs not liking the cold outside decided to crawl through the poorly sealed windows and enjoyed flying around the room. Probably about 20. Venue had an event on that didn’t finish until after midnight. Room 24 is near to the function room and next to a disabled toilet which was being used all night by party guests. Couldn’t call reception to ask for the party to have some consideration for paying guests trying to sleep as there is no phone in the room. It was classed as a disabled room so if anyone gets in trouble in room 24, I hope you have your own mobile phone handy. Luckily we’re not disabled but had to get out of bed at 23:30 to walk to reception to find out when the music and screaming would stop. Again reception not interested and told us the party was booked until midnight. Eventually quietened down at about 12:30. Sunday breakfast is from 08:30, arrived at 08:30 as needed to get away early but had to wait as a party was just finishing off their breakfast at 08:30……! and there were no spare tables for two. Second and last visit to this poorly, uninterested “hotel”. No doubt this review will not be posted.

Good evening Clive,We are sorry to hear that you didn't enjoy either of your stays with us.In regards to the shower curtains, we don't have these as they aren't the most hygienic and the lack of warmth in the bathroom is just a result of the time of year unfortunately. We do have portable heaters that upon request we are more than happy to offer to guests. As we are in a woodland area, insects do sometimes find their way into the building unfortunately. We will always move guests to a different bedroom in this circumstance providing we have available rooms.We do regularly host functions in our hotel, and we are sorry to hear that this disturbed you. Again, we are always willing to provide guests with an alternative bedroom in this case that is maybe further from the function room if we have them available. We do not have telephones in any of our bedrooms, and we do not advertise that we do. Our telephone number can be located on our welcome letter that all guests receive when checking in, along with on our website and confirmation emails that are sent after making a reservation.We apologise greatly for the issues at breakfast. Sometimes guests come down slightly earlier than the arranged breakfast times, and of course if the staff have set up and are ready to serve they will do so rather than turning people away. I understand that there should've been more available tables, and I will be passing this onto the breakfast staff. The staff that appeared to be "uninterested" will be informed of your experience with them during your stay and this will be addressed. We apologise profusely that your stay wasn't everything you hoped for, and all issues you encountered will be passed on to the relevant management teams so that action can be taken. Feedback is always appreciated and taken on board and of course, we will act wherever possible.Kind regards,Rose-Reception team

A characterful hotel with an interesting history. Rainhill is famous for Stevenson’s Rocket, so an interesting area, as well as convenient for Liverpool by car. The room we had was quirky - e.g. two large baths with jacuzzi jets! A comfortable night’s sleep in a good bed. However, a large queue for breakfast and poor communication from breakfast staff about this led to our decision to check out earlier than we planned to in order to have breakfast elsewhere.

Weekend getaway!
We had an amazing weekend at the Rainhill hotel and Spa. From Friday to Monday morning. Staff Caitlin at the desk was amazing. We changed our room on arrival without any stress. Clean room with massive space, jacuzzi, toiletries, dining area and TV screen were spot on. We hosted 20guests for a evening dinner party in a private room on Sunday and everyone loved the food. Staffs attitudes and care towards us and our guest were exceptional especially Beth who was very friendly and helpful. Caroline was another staff who went above and beyond, we had great experience in general. I would highly recommend this hotel for any events and couples getaway.
