    My parents met whilst both working at The Adelphi in the early 1960’s. Three decades later we visited Liverpool for a familyreunion and stayed at The Adelphi in a suite (with jacuzzi) on an upper floor for the weekend and it was lovely. However we used to go to a cafe around corner for breakfast as it was good value then. Nowadays if we visit family in Liverpool we prefer to stay at The Premier Inn at Albert Dock - lovely staff and great service. Great city with friendly people. 😊

    I stayed at the Adelphi in December. It was an emergency booking made online at an hour's notice after a disaster with another accommodation I had booked and I arrived at 9.00 pm. My room was fine. It was clean and comfortable although the windows were very draughty. The breakfast was fine and it was cheap and in a great location as I was departing from Lime Street that morning. While it did not compare with the Leonardo where I had spent the previous night it was good value for money.

    My husband and I really love it that you love Liverpool as much as we do. We come from the south of England but we feel more at home in Liverpool. Liverpool is very welcoming and we love it that everywhere you go there's a pub buzzing and we've never seen any trouble with drunk people. If we bump into you up there one day we will definitely say hi! ❤

      Me and my partner love Liverpool. We stayed in the Adelphi once and loved it. We had a massive room with hallway 4 poster bed lounge area. Did feel a bit spooky but that just added extra to the extra I would definitely stay there again. The lounge area is beautiful we sat on the leather sofa chilling and people watching whilst having a few drinks. And watching the football in the bar area. Just perfect.

    Even up until the 1970s the Adelphi had a little touch of class. Although I have never stayed there. When I was young my mates and I would wear our best clothes to go there for a couple of drinks before we went to one of the clubs. How times have changed.

    I stayed there 5 or 6 years ago. I, like an idiot, left a cash bag containing around £4000 from a church collection when we left and drove on to Bangor, North Wales. I didn't discover this until next morning. I rang the hotel to find that a member of the cleaning staff had handed the bag in immediately. I couldn't be giving away church money, so when I drove straight back to collect the bag, I left the cleaner £50 out of my own pocket. Can't complain about the honesty of the staff. Not the best place to stay, and the breakfast experience was like a cattle market, awful. But some things make up for a lot in other ways.

You get out there and enjoy yourself, and as far as being bothered about how people see you, who cares it's your life you live it how you want. As for Helen what can I say she is definitely a good match for you, she's not afraid of anything, and I'm sure she's helped you out when you've been low, you make a good pair, bouncing off each other, I particularly liked the blog you did on Bolton, cause that's my home town, the market place was so good years ago, it was full of little proper shops, and then someone came along and ripped the soul out of it and made it into boutiques, anyway don't want to rant, but keep going bigger and stronger,

    Thanks James to you and Helen for another great and entertaining video. Don't think I would stay in The Adelphi because it does look creepy. We have been to Liverpool a number of times and it is one of our favourite cities. Would love to visit that restaurant you were in the next time we go. Keep up the great work both of you. Love to you both.❤😊

    Liverpool looks such a great place to visit and the interior of those pubs was amazing. Well done for staying in that room, the pillow alone would have me running for the hills and as for the shower gel, I dont know how you did it 😮

    The hotel has a long history, Trigger the horse stayed there, as well as Charles Dickens and Winston Churchill.John Lennons Dad worked there. Free as a bird, the video was filmed in there.Such a shame, it was once a beauty, and the height of luxury.

    I used to get the bus home from Lewis’s dept store ,the big grey building caddy cornered to the Adelphi in the 1960s .It was very posh then ,I always wanted to go in but there were always doormen in the front.I eventually went in the reception area in the 1980s it was looking shabby then .Did you happen to see the men’s toilets ? I hear the room is all done in marble .havnt been in there myself.

    We've stayed at the Adelphi a few times, the price and location are great but the rooms are not. The worst we stopped in was a windowless basement room, that was scary.
    In December we're going to try the Liner hotel for a change.
    We love Liverpool, so much to do and see, the pubs are fantastic.

    The room you had was a cabin room. Cunard / The white star line, wanted to prepare their wealthy passengers for their voyage. The Adelphi was a stunner back then, and only for the very rich.

      My Dad's first job was as a Bell Boy in 1935 at the age of 13. Hotel was a place where many American film star would stay, using the passenger lines from New York to Liverpool to get to London /Europe. He ended up working on the White Star /Cunard ships

    Lovely……..but staying there why just why 😂
    I stayed there when I was invited to the Hillsboro charity gig ( my friend was involved)me and my daughter were so excited to be staying in Liverpool and wanted to go to a club mainly the Cavern but after dinner the first night we wasn’t allowed 😮😂, we come from London 🤷‍♀️but my mates hubby said it was too dangerous for us to go alone , we were right peed off !!!
    Me and my grown up daughters went back for a weekend for my 50th and had a great time…the people were very friendly……..what shocked me was the fact that men held doors for us not like at home when they let the door slam in your face 😂🙄
    Plus the Cavern was magical and they sang Hey Jude for me (embarrassing )
    We didn’t stay at your hotel but in a Travelodge by the Mersey …..bloody lovely to go to the Beatles museum ect ect…..

    Glad you enjoyed The Big House (nobody calls it by its real name, The Vines) and The Phil. The folklore surrounding McKenzie’s Pyramid is that he was an avid gambler and was entombed sitting in a chair at his card table with a hand of cards. Supposedly playing the Devil for his soul.

    Spent 1 night in room 503 on a military do in Liverpool.
    There was no water, the bath was backed up and you couldnt flush the toilet.
    Rudely awoken by loud chanting (possibly religious) at 2am
    Terrible smell emanating from behind the radiator
    That was in 1998
    God only knows what its like now, although it doesnt seem to have had a lick of paint
    Glad to see you again guys
