The hotel was beautiful and very spacious, providing everything we needed. Fresh towels and linen daily were a nice touch, although a hairdryer was only available from reception. The location is brilliant, right beside the famous Penny Lane and very easy to reach the city center by bus. Dining options nearby are good, and the hotel is perfect for those wanting proximity to the airport and town center.

My stay at the hotel was overall pleasant. The rooms were tastefully decorated and a good size, though I had a few issues with getting a good night's sleep due to the bright light on the smoke alarm that bathed the room in a green glow. The staff were friendly and accommodating, and the facilities were clean and beautifully decorated with a Beatles theme. Despite the lack of a restaurant, the service was lovely and very obliging.

My stay at The Penny Lane Hotel was pleasant overall. The hotel had fresh towels and linen daily, which was a nice touch. However, the room door wasn't closed properly upon our early arrival. The quirky decor and lovely staff made for a memorable experience, and the hotel's location, though not providing great views, was conveniently close to a bus stop for easy access to the city center. The dining options were basic but made to order and satisfying. The lack of on-site parking and limited public parking were minor inconveniences.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The room with the four-poster bed overlooked a busy road junction, making it quite noisy all night. While the service was top-notch and very accommodating, the room itself was cramped and stuffy. The location, near the iconic Penny Lane, was a highlight, but the dining experience left something to be desired with greasy food. Overall, it's a lovely hotel with some drawbacks to consider.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of highs and lows. The rooms were really big and luxurious, clean, and warm, but they could feel cramped and stuffy at times, especially when the noise from the kitchen fan disrupted the peace. The service was top-notch, with extremely friendly and helpful staff that made my stay enjoyable. The location was convenient, just outside the city center, making it easy to access but offering a bit of peace at the same time. The dining experience was excellent, with fresh and delicious food served by friendly and helpful staff. The facilities, however, left something to be desired, but overall, the hotel offered good value for the money spent.
