Firstly, I wasn't expecting too much of this hotel given the price I was paying for 2 twin rooms. The Reception experience very good with friendly helpful staff. Rooms were adequate, clean and spacious. Pillows were poor and only 1 available for each twin bed although I probably could have requested more. Beds were comfortable and clean. TV and coffee / tea making facilities all good. Good heating in rooms. Good, powerful shower above the bath. Safe, ample carparking. During the second night there was excessive noise from other rooms well into the early hours. This wasn't confined to one floor either. I didn't complain as I gained the impression that there had been a wedding celebration or similar but it was unreasonable. This though is more the fault of the guests than the hotel. Parts of the hotel and my room were a little tired but there was evidence of refurbishment. Overall, not bad for a gents City Break at a reasonable price and within walking distance of the city centre.

Looks very grand in the pictures..doesnt look so special when you arrive.
Huge room with a tv in it the size of an Ipad.
Generally seemed clean but on closer inspection the grouting around the bath was black and while standing at the mirror in the morning i felt a drip of water only to look up & see the ceiling tile was mostly brown and wet and was dripping in. Not pleasant.
During the night we woke up sweltering, we thought we had turned the heating off but the radiator knob didnt work even though it had been turned off. We were so tired we just opened a window and went back to bed.
When i told the reception lady on check out she didnt apologise at all just said I should have told reception when i noticed. Customer Service is not her strong point and she should learn the word sorry. Each time she spoke to me she didnt await my response just put her head back down and stared at the diary on the desk. Quite rude.
At the end of the day the rooms should be checked before giving them to people. Who is going to move all there stuff & have upheaveal in the middle of the night for sake of a few hours?
All in all a bit of a let down.

Ok so this hotel is perhaps a little dated, although I hear they are soon to be updating. My husband and I have just spent a wonderful weekend at this hotel, great friendly staff who are always there if you need anything. Our room was clean and there were fresh towels each day. It was a great base for us in order to explore Liverpool and only a short drive by taxi into Liverpool centre, and a 30 minute walk for the more energetic (yes we did walk and it was lovely). Would we stay at the Devonshire again - ABSOLUTELY! The Bickleys (Staffordshire)

We were a little put off by some of the reviews and photos and contacted the hotel in advance. They were very helpful. Yes the hotel is a bit tired, but the room was very clean and comfortable. The staff were very helpful and friendly and the breakfast was good. We turned up late for breakfast on the last day and the waitress and chef stayed back to serve us. What you pay reflects what you get, I think some people want their cake and eat it. Overall it was excellent value for money
