Quick info
About Mr Smith's Old Stanley Arms
Mr Smith's Old Stanley Arms is a pub with en suite rooms upstairs, sitting on Prescot Rd in Liverpool and giving guests the short trip from the bar to bed. A cooked full English breakfast is served to those staying over, and beer comes on draught at the bar, Carling among the taps. At the rear, a back yard holds a large play area alongside plenty of seating, and the same space can be booked for private functions such as a baby shower. The pub works on a walk-in basis and opens daily.

Customer Review Summary
Most who stay overnight lead with the welcome, describing staff who feel like family and, in several accounts, went out of their way to help. Close behind are the rooms: repeatedly called spotlessly clean with very comfortable beds, one guest singling out an en suite, and several note the exterior does not hint at what is inside. The cooked breakfast draws its own praise, with one guest recommending the full English for its fresh, high quality ingredients. Drinkers describe a tidy, warm room, cheap pints of Carling, and a large back yard with plenty of seating that one couple was given for a baby shower. Against this, one reviewer warns bluntly against staying, describing all night and all morning partying, including music at two in the morning, and no sleep at all. One regular suggests booking direct rather than through a booking site. Another mentions already having several return stays reserved across the year.

“About as bad as it gets. Do Not stay here, you will not sleep with the all night/all morning partying. The worst night sleep you could imagine at your expense, think 2am partying under your bed. Pay extra and stay elsewhere for your sanity”
- JOHN ATKINSON
“Best hotel on the planet, staff were so friendly, they helped so much Great en suite room”
- Simon Nugent
“What a legendary boozer. Tidy inside, very warm welcome from the landlady and the blokes sitting in there. Best of all pints of Carling are only £2.50 when i was in there (Wednesday) - can't go wrong! Update: they have rooms here so stayed the night for work, the rooms are spot on, even better when you can just go straigh from the bar to bed. Make sure you book direct and not through booking.com as they take a massive slice of the cash.”
