Great 2 night break. The upgraded privilege room with its panoramic views of the Mersey and Liver building were great. Super king bed was very comfortable. Staff great. Breakfast was good but could be a bit warmer.

One of the most stunning and iconic cathedral buildings in the world. I'm not religious, but I can see how a building like this can be incredibly powerful for a lot of people. Really recommend a visit, and definitely take the time to go to the crypt - a huge brick underground space that was originally going to be part of the second largest cathedral ever built, before the second world war put paid to that.
