Food as you say limited but plenty to fill you up and the price is extremely good for such a well run hotel. I really enjoyed your filming of the gorgeous surroundings ( forgot to say how much I loved your shots of the historical buildings in Liverpool) Have a great day and thank you ❤️x

    Handy for the bars in Old Town. Stayed 20+ years ago. Not much seems to have changed. It was like a Spanish Fawlty Towers. Staff and customers mainly Spanish. Difficult to get a room when a festival is on or beginning/end of season.

    Hi Paul,
    We stayed at the Marconi last year, for two nights? The room was clean and spacious as we had a corner room, but when I checked for a fridge, I was told you don’t get a fridge with a basic room 😂😂I was fuming as we’ve never been any where where there’s no mini fridge!!
    Never mind I went for breakfast and the place was filthy!! I mean every plate I picked up had food on it, I complained and was told they have new staff!! The cutlery was even worse!! When I went to get some food I went for bacon and it was burnt!! I moved the bacon to get some that wasn’t from the back when I was shouted at by the cook, he was Moroccan and was so rude and loud that a Spanish man shouted at him and told him that he should not shout at the guests!! He even said to me that the place was very dirty in the restaurant, I made a complaint to the owner as it is family owned to be told that their kitchen staff are new? I said that is no excuse to have dirty plates and burn food, and a cook shouting at a guest, they gave me my money back for the food and said they were having the restaurant refurbished!! The hotel itself is very clean and the front rooms are brilliant, which they said I could have when I rebook, the sun terrace upstairs is beautiful and the views are amazing!! It is how ever not for the less mobile or for families with younger children, apart from no fridge in a basic room and the dirty plates and cutlery it is a really nice cheap hotel .😂
