CASTLE LODGE GUEST HOUSE 86-88 SHEIL RD L6 3AF, Liverpool

The guest house sits on Sheil Road, about 2 km from John Moores University and within a 30-40 minute walk or short bus/taxi ride (£8-9 Uber) to the city centre. Anfield Stadium is easily reached on foot in 10-20 minutes, ideal for match days. The M62 motorway is less than 10 minutes by car, and the property is on a direct bus route to the city centre. The surrounding area has a McDonald's, takeaway options, and a supermarket within a short walk. The guest house has secure entry with a fob system and CCTV.

Each room has a flat-screen TV, ironing facilities, kettle, and hairdryer. Free toiletries are provided. Room types include double, twin, quadruple, family, and studio (some with a washing machine and kitchen utensils). Family rooms are spacious and can sleep up to 6-7 people. A single room with a shared bathroom is available. Rooms on upper floors may require stairs; a lift serves lower floors. Some rooms have been noted as warm and may benefit from the provided fan. Noise from the main road and other rooms can be an issue, particularly in front-facing rooms. Basic cleanliness standards have varied, so prospective bookers may want to check recent room photos.

Breakfast is included and buffet-style in a dedicated dining room. Choices include cereals, yogurt, fresh fruit, toast, and a selection of spreads, plus tea and coffee. There is no hot food or restaurant on site; nearby takeaways and a McDonald's are within a 5-minute walk. For a fuller cooked breakfast or wider variety, the city centre offers many cafés and restaurants about a 15-minute drive or short taxi ride away.

The guest house does not offer wellness facilities such as a spa, sauna, or swimming pool. A dedicated basement room provides leisure activities: a Liverpool-themed shrine with a pool table, dart board, and a projector TV with comfortable seating. This area is available to guests and can be a social hub, especially for football fans.
