Liverpool hotel guests have expressed their satisfaction as the city takes second place in a national league table of hotel customer satisfaction.
The city received a respectable 7.54/10 score from the feedback on online reservation service hotel.info, just behind Sheffield who topped the table with 7.60/10.
Guests who have booked a hotel at www.hotel.info evaluate the hotel after their departure on the basis of a points' system (0 to 10).
In the overall evaluation such things as room quality, friendliness of the staff, cleanliness, noise, value for money and the breakfast and gastronomy played an important role.
London came tenth with a measly 6.58, which is worrying as the capital makes the final preparations for the 2012 Olympics.
