Hatters Hostel

January 4. 2012

Well I have been staying at Hatters Hostel for two days, and one night now. It is a great place and I highly recommend it. It is located centrally near every main attraction I can think of, at least for me. The staff were incredibly helpful, kind, and knowledgeable of the area and were just great company. There is a continental breakfast offered each morning and an activity/theme night everyday. The days I was there, it was pizza night and then pancake night.

It is about a 5 to 10 minute walk to the shopping center, as well as a 15-minute walk from the Maritime and the Tate Museum.

I met some great girls while at Hatters. We went together to the shopping center, learned some new card games and just had a blast. I highly recommend going to see The Tate Museum, and if you have the time and GBP to go on the Fab Four Cab Tour, if you get a group of people you can split the costs and it is very cheap at the end. I wish I could have gone, but I was really tired after all the airport stress.

On our first night in Liverpool we went to the Philharmonic pub, a great place. It was designed by the same person who designed the Titanic, and it really shows. There is a class, grace and sentiment it gives to you once you see it. It is truly very beautiful, we were talking to ourselves that this couldn’t be the right pub, we were scared to just touch the doorknob. It is located on Hope Street and if you are ever in the Liverpool area you have to go and see it.

Tonight a girl from Australia and I went to a Chinese restaurant called ARCH located at 45-49 Berry Street, Chinatown Liverpool. They offer sit-down dining or takeaway. The prices are really not that bad, for the amount of food, atmosphere and service. My friend and I ordered one appetizer and main course each and then once we split the bill in the end. All together we spent only 14 GBP for the dinner, drinks and the appetizers. The Chinese food was some of the best I have had in a long time.
Well I go to go to bed, I have to be up early so I can be up in time for our cab and so that I can get some sleep so I can be ready for tomorrow.
