Liverpool's WILDEST Hen & Stag Parties: Infinity Partypads Await!
Liverpool's Wildest Hen & Stag Parties: Infinity Partypads Await! – A Rave Review (and a Few Rants!)
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because I'm about to spill the tea (or maybe a whole damn teapot of cocktails) on Liverpool's supposed "Infinity Partypads." Let me tell you, the marketing screams "epic hen/stag do Nirvana," but the reality? Well, sometimes it’s more like… well, let’s just say it’s interesting.
(Metadata Snippet: Liverpool Hen Do, Liverpool Stag Do, Party Accommodation Liverpool, Infinity Partypads Review, Weekend Getaway, Accessible Accommodation Liverpool, Spa Weekend Liverpool, Luxury Party Accommodation)
First off, the accessibility thing. Okay, let’s be real. I’m not personally a wheelchair user, and thankfully didn't need to scrutinize Accessibility in detail. But the website claims to have Facilities for disabled guests, so I'm assuming ramps and elevators and all that jazz are present. (Someone please comment below and give me the real tea if you know!). This is a HUGE deal, though, and they better not be fibbing on this point. It’s 2024; inclusive experiences are non-negotiable.
Internet access, glorious Internet. You know, because you absolutely need to Insta-story your questionable karaoke performance. They advertise Free Wi-Fi in all rooms!, which is a godsend. And yes, there’s mention of Internet [LAN] too. (Who uses LAN anymore?! Is this the 90s, guys?) The Wi-Fi was… okay. Let's just leave it at that. It works, but don't expect to smoothly stream HD movies while your mate's attempting the splits on the rooftop terrace (more on that later).
Now, let's get to the actual fun. The Things to do section? Let's just say Infinity Partypads are not skimping here. They promise a good time, and they do try, bless 'em.
Wellness Wows (and Woes):
- Spa/Sauna/Steamroom: Okay, the spa. Oooooh, the spa. First time I went, I thought I'd died and gone to heaven. Body scrub, Body wrap, Massage, a Pool with view, Sauna, Spa, and Steamroom. The works! The second time… well, let’s just say the steam room smelled faintly of questionable cleaning products and the pool view (which they make a big deal of in the ads!) was more "overlooking a slightly grubby car park" than "tranquil oasis." Opinion: C'mon, guys! Don’t promise me the Taj Mahal Spa experience and give me a slightly sad leisure centre.
- Fitness center: The Gym/fitness thing? Basic machines. Nothing to write home about. Unless you want to write home about the slightly rusty treadmill.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: The Sustenance of a Good Time:
- Dining, drinking, and snacking: This is where things get interesting… and a bit chaotic. They have Restaurants, a Bar (crucial!), a Poolside bar (essential!), a Coffee shop, and even a Snack bar. Promises! Promises!
- Breakfast: They tout Breakfast service, and even Breakfast in room and Breakfast takeaway service. Western breakfast, Asian breakfast! But the buffet… oh, the buffet. Let's just say the scrambled eggs had a certain… texture. And the sausages? Well, let's just say I politely declined the second one. Luckily they have a Coffee/tea in restaurant option – desperately needed to combat the morning after blues.
- A la carte in restaurant - good, I imagine, for those with a discerning palate. Happy hour - also essential.
- Room service [24-hour] - thank heavens.
- Alternative meal arrangement - helpful, and potentially essential.
- Desserts in restaurant - the key to my heart!
- Salad in restaurant/Soup in restaurant: Fine. Whatever. Needed after the deep fried everything.
The Rooms Themselves: Glitz and Glamour (and Maybe a Few Grubby Corners):
- Available in all rooms: Air conditioning, Alarm clock, Bathrobes: Score!
- Bathroom phone: Seriously?! Like, you're that important that someone might need to call you mid-shower? I found it hilarious. And slightly unsettling.
- Bathtub, Blackout curtains, Carpeting, Closet, Coffee/tea maker, Complimentary tea, Daily housekeeping, Desk, Extra long bed, Free bottled water: Standard, and good.
- Hair dryer, High floor, In-room safe box, Interconnecting room(s) available, Internet access – LAN, Internet access – wireless, Ironing facilities, Laptop workspace, Linens, Mini bar, Mirror, Non-smoking, On-demand movies, Private bathroom, Reading light, Refrigerator, Safety/security feature, Satellite/cable channels: all the things you will want.
- Separate shower/bathtub, Shower, Slippers, Smoke detector, Socket near the bed, Sofa, Soundproofing, Telephone, Toiletries, Towels, Umbrella: essentials.
- Visual alarm, Wake-up service, Wi-Fi [free], Window that opens: good stuff.
The rooms, despite all the stuff, were… mixed. Some were fabulous. Seriously luxurious. Some were a bit… tired. I blame the sheer volume of parties passing through. Room decorations seemed a bit random. One room had a full-on disco ball, another just a slightly sad-looking vase.
Cleanliness and Safety: The Serious Stuff:
Okay, I’ll be brutally honest. Cleanliness is clearly a focus these days. They’ve got all the buzzwords to reassure you. Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas, Hand sanitizer, Hygiene certification, Individually-wrapped food options, Physical distancing of at least 1 meter, Professional-grade sanitizing services, Room sanitization opt-out available, Rooms sanitized between stays, Safe dining setup, Sanitized kitchen and tableware items, Staff trained in safety protocol, Sterilizing equipment. But sometimes, you can feel where corners are cut. It depends on the room!
On the plus side, there's CCTV in common areas and CCTV outside property, which is reassuring (especially when people are, shall we say, celebrating). There’s often a Front desk [24-hour]. They've got Fire extinguisher, Non-smoking rooms, Smoke alarms, and Security [24-hour].
Services and Conveniences: The Helping Hands:
- Air conditioning in public area, Audio-visual equipment for special events, Business facilities, Cash withdrawal, Concierge, Contactless check-in/out, Convenience store, Currency exchange: all the bells and whistles.
- Daily housekeeping, Doorman, Dry cleaning, Elevator, Facilities for disabled guests, Food delivery, Gift/souvenir shop, Indoor venue for special events, Invoice provided, Ironing service, Laundry service, Luggage storage, Meeting/banquet facilities, Meetings, Meeting stationery: good if you are using the place for more than just debauchery.
- On-site event hosting, Outdoor venue for special events, Projector/LED display, Safety deposit boxes, Seminars, Shrine, Smoking area, Terrace, Wi-Fi for special events, Xerox/fax in business center: good if you need it.
For the Kids (Bless Their Little Cotton Socks):
- Babysitting service, Family/child friendly, Kids facilities, Kids meal: Not really applicable to a hen/stag do, right? But good, I guess, if the bride/groom really insists on bringing their nephew?
Getting Around:
- Airport transfer, Bicycle parking, Car park [free of charge], Car park [on-site], Car power charging station, Taxi service, Valet parking: Easy peasy, lemon squeezy.
Quirks and Imperfections: The Real Life Stuff:
Okay, here's where the real stories come out.
- The Rooftop Terrace Fiasco: One time, we booked a room with a rooftop terrace. Amazing, right? Prosecco, sunshine, and panoramic views of the city! Except, that's not quite how it played out. Firstly, the "panoramic views" were partially obscured by a rather unsightly air conditioning unit. Secondly, after a few too many cocktails, one of the girls attempted a questionable dance move and nearly fell off the edge. Luckily, she was fine — just a slightly bruised ego (and maybe a broken nail). Verdict: Inspect the terrace thoroughly before you start your shenanigans.
- The Lost Luggage Saga: My friend lost her favorite sequined top (essential hen-do garb) somewhere between the bar and the elevator. Despite a valiant search by the hotel staff (bless them!), it was never found. **Verdict:
Alright, buckle up, buttercups! This isn't your sanitized, pre-packaged itinerary. This is a real-life chronicle of the chaos and hilarity that is a hen and stag do in Liverpool. We're talking Infinity Partypads, Liverpool, and let's be honest, probably copious amounts of gin. Get ready for the beautiful mess.
The Liverpool Carnage: A Hen & Stag Do (Probably Involving a Broken Heel)
Day 1: Arrival & The Titanic-Sized Hangover (Metaphorically Speaking, Hopefully)
- 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM: Arrive in Liverpool. (John Lennon Airport - JLA, obviously.)
- The Reality: Okay, so, getting off the plane, I’m already regretting the questionable decisions that led to this. Flying with a group of 20 is like herding cats. Especially when Brenda from accounts is convinced her emotional support chihuahua, "Princess Sparkle", is also entitled to extra legroom. Security was a nightmare. I swear, Brenda's chihuahua set off the metal detector four times. Four. Times. This is going to be a long weekend.
- 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM: Transfer to Infinity Partypads. Check-in, drop bags, and make a desperate plea to the gods for a decent night's sleep.
- The Reality: Finding the Partypads was easy enough, but navigating the narrow cobbled streets with suitcases the size of small cars? Absolute carnage. We're greeted by the owner, a bloke named Mark (pretty sure he's seen it all before), who gives us the keys and a knowing look. He probably figures we'll wreck the place – and he's probably right. The rooms look alright, standard party pad fare, but I spotted a suspicious stain on the sofa. Note to self: avoid sitting on the sofa.
- 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM: Settling in and the first obligatory Prosecco-fueled toast.
- The Reality: We're already popping Prosecco like it's going out of style. Sarah, the bride, is surprisingly composed. She's either in denial or genuinely excited, I can't tell. Someone spilled a whole bottle on the kitchen floor. We're off to a great start. Also, I just saw someone sneakily order a takeaway kebab before the "healthy" hen do activities begin. Genius.
- 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM: Scouse-themed scavenger hunt around the city center. (Prepare for embarrassing costumes).
- The Reality: Oh. My. God. The costumes. I’m not going to go into details, but let's just say, Brenda's chihuahua, Princess Sparkle, managed to sneak into a tiny replica of a Beatles wig. Bless her. The scavenger hunt itself was actually pretty fun, even though we got completely lost at one point and ended up in a shop selling nothing but novelty rubber ducks. We may have caused minor chaos in a local pub during a lip-sync battle. Don’t ask. One of our group, Liam, managed to fall into a fountain with his full costume on. The costume in question: a giant inflatable sausage.
- 7:00 PM - 8:00 PM: Dinner at a restaurant with "real scouse" (Hoping it is edible).
- The Reality: We're at a place called "The Scouse House." The scouse itself? Actually pretty good, which is saying something after the day we've had. The atmosphere is a little…rowdy. And I mean rowdy. There are more hen and stag groups in here than I've ever seen in one place. It's pure Liverpool energy, and after a few pints, I'm starting to love it.
- 8:00 PM - Late: Pub Crawl and Karaoke. (Prepare for the inevitable off-key singing and questionable dance moves).
- The Reality: Okay, the pub crawl. This is where things went from chaotic to legendary. Karaoke was an absolute disaster. I had a terrible rendition of "Livin' on a Prayer" (I blame the pre-drinks). Brenda’s chihuahua Princess Sparkle actually attempted to "sing" along. We ended up in a sticky-floored dive bar till gone midnight. A total stranger bought me a tequila shot for my birthday… I felt amazing. My heel however, was a casualty. It snapped. I don't know how, but I hobbled on, embracing the night (and my future limp). Ended up "dancing" on a table. Then another.
- The Emotional Rollercoaster: The mood was electric. Everyone was laughing, flirting, and generally making fools of themselves. I haven't felt this free in years. It was pure, unadulterated joy, even the bits that went wrong.
- Late: Stagger back to Partypads, attempt sleep, fail.
- The Reality: The night’s end was less a graceful exit, and more a stagger. Sleep? Forget it. The noise from the street was deafening, and my head was throbbing. But honestly, I wouldn't have traded it for anything.
Day 2: Recovery, Sightseeing, and Potential Further Mayhem
- Morning: Wake up, assess the damage. (Physically and mentally).
- The Reality: Oh dear god, my head…and I can't feel my left leg. Breakfast was a dry slice of toast with a single (and slightly lonely) fried egg. Then, I spent a good hour trying to find a replacement heel. No luck. I'm embracing my new, slightly more awkward, gait.
- Afternoon: Sightseeing: The Beatles Story, Albert Dock, and maybe a ferry to see the Liverpool skyline.
- The Reality: Managed to get myself to the Beatles Story. I'm not a huge Beatles fan, but it was surprisingly good. Even Brenda, who claimed to hate them, ended up humming "Here Comes the Sun." Albert Dock didn't hold my attention, but the boats were pretty. I would have loved to go on the ferry, but all my friends were too hungover.
- Evening: Fancy Dinner and the (hopefully) less destructive second night out.
- The Reality: We're attempting a "fancy" dinner. Emphasis on the attempt. The restaurant is nice, but the table next to us is also celebrating, and they're already up to… karaoke. We'll call it a tie between this night out and the prior one. My bad heel is feeling the strain.
- Late: Same Again, but somehow even more chaotic.
- The Reality: It was a bit of a blur. I think everyone was so exhausted, we couldn't even get into the same trouble as the night before. The entire group crashed at midnight. I woke up the next morning in someone else's bed. Don't ask.
Day 3: Departure & The Aftermath
- Morning: Pack up, clean up, and try to remember everything.
- The Reality: Packing was surprisingly easy. The hangover was manageable. The flat now looks like a bomb detonated. The clean-up was the worst part, but also the most satisfying.
- Afternoon: Head to JLA. Reflect on the weekend.
- The Reality: Airport. I saw the bride and groom holding hands as they went through security. They both looked tired, but happy. The chihuahua was again causing havoc.
- Evening: Arrive Home (exhausted but exhilarated).
- The Reality: Home. I went to bed and slept. I spent the day thinking about the weekend. Liverpool is pure chaos and beautiful. The relationships and the chaos, together… well-worth the pain. I would do it again in a heartbeat. And I’ll be getting that heel fixed.
This itinerary is a work in progress and probably a gross exaggeration. But hey, a hen and stag do is meant to be. Expect spontaneous decisions, questionable choices, and memories that will last a lifetime.

Liverpool Hen & Stag Do's: Forget the Rules, Embrace the Chaos! (Infinity Partypads Included - OMG!)
Okay, spill the tea! What makes a Liverpool hen or stag do with you guys… well, WILD? Like, *really* wild?
Right, so, “wild” is our middle name (probably). We don't do "beige" – ever. Forget the predictable pub crawls and cheesy clichés. We're talking about laser tag battles fuelled by questionable decisions (and even more questionable shots), private club nights that are hotter than a Scouse summer, and activities that'll have you screaming with laughter and possibly regretting your life choices... in the best way possible, obviously.
It's about creating memories that become legendary tales. Think late-night karaoke mishaps, dance-offs that end in tears (of joy, mostly!), and finding yourself hugging a complete stranger at 4 AM because you've become best friends in the space of a single song. That's our vibe.
Partypads? In-finity? What the heck are you talking about? Are these even legal?!
WHOA, hold your horses! "Infinity Partypads" is our code for awesome, you know? It’s… well, it’s a surprise! But picture this: Non-stop party power, access to some of the city's hottest spots without the hassle, and the ability to keep the good times rolling… indefinitely (hence, the infinity!). Think VIP treatment, exclusive deals, and a dedicated crew to make sure everything runs smoother than a well-oiled, glitter-covered machine. Don’t worry, it's TOTALLY legal. We're not selling anything… illicit.
But the truth is, I can't really fully describe it. It's like… a feeling. A feeling of freedom? Of being utterly, unapologetically *spoiled* rotten? You'll get it when you experience it. Just trust me.
I'm planning this for my best friend/sibling. What's the ONE thing I ABSOLUTELY need to know to make it epic?
Okay, listen up. The ONE thing? Embrace the chaos. Seriously. The more you try to control things, the more the universe (and Liverpool!) will throw curveballs your way. And that's where the real fun starts, I mean, let's be honest, you can't control your mates… ever.
Example: I once planned a REALLY fancy stag do. Luxury cars, gourmet meals, the works! And what happened? The groom, bless him, got locked in the hotel bathroom for three hours before the first activity! He had to be rescued by a hotel porter with a coat hanger. We still laugh about it. He now swears by being early to bed, and I honestly think the lack of control is what made the whole thing AMAZING. Embrace the unexpected. Roll with the punches. And bring extra Advil.
My friend is a vegetarian/vegan/has a million dietary requirements. Can you handle that?
Absolutely! We're all about inclusivity! Well, except on the karaoke. If you can't sing, you better be funny. Otherwise, be prepared to be booed off, but we'll still love you! We work with various venues and caterers who are experts at accommodating all sorts of dietary needs. Just tell us what you need, and we'll make it happen. Gluten-free, halal, vegan – bring it on! We're probably going to have to learn about the latest culinary trends, but that's part of the fun, isn't it?
I had a hen do once, every single person had an allergy. And the bride had every condition you could think of! We made it work, and the food was AMAZING. It was a bloody triumph. And yes, the bride did find her love. That might be the most vegan wedding in Liverpool history!
What if we want something… *unique*, shall we say? Beyond the typical activities?
Unique? Honey, you've come to the right place! We thrive on *unique*! Forget the predictable paint-and-sip, or the afternoon tea that's as bland as a wet week in January. We're talking about activities you won't find anywhere else. Think private cocktail masterclasses with a twist (maybe a blind taste test with hilarious consequences?), themed treasure hunts across the city (prepare to embarrass yourselves!), and even… well, let's just say we've got some contacts. ;)
I once arranged a '80s-themed stag do. Yeah, it was epic (and I'm still finding sequin fallout from the costumes). I had one of them on the last day, and one lad nearly dropped a whole cheesecake after doing a dance, they were so happy and over excited.
I'm worried about the budget. Liverpool can be pricey!
Money, money, money… it makes the world go round, doesn’t it? Liverpool *can* be pricey, but we're all about offering options to suit different bank balances. We have all sorts of packages, from "budget-friendly badass" to "luxury-laden lunacy". We can tailor everything to fit your budget, and we're always on the lookout for the best deals. Think of us as your personal party-planning superheroes, saving your wallet while simultaneously delivering an unforgettable experience.
Honestly, I get it though. Saving up for a hen or stag can be a right pain in the backside. So, we work really hard to find that sweet spot between amazing and affordable. We are here to get it done, whatever your needs or budget.
I'm completely overwhelmed by planning. Can you help me, or will I have to do it all myself?
Overwhelmed? Drowning in spreadsheets and stress balls? Let us take the reins! That's what we're here for! We'll handle all the nitty-gritty details, from booking accommodation and activities to arranging transport and ensuring everyone knows where they need to be (and when!). We're like your party-planning fairy godmothers/godfathers – ready to make your life easier and your party a roaring success.
Honestly, planning a hen or stag do is a nightmare. And the pressure! Oh, the pressure! Just breathe, pass it over to us, and let us create the magic!
What if things go wrong? Because, well, they always do…
Ah, the million-dollar question! Things *will* go wrong. It's practically guaranteed. That's part of the fun, you know? We are the real deals but we are humans. We're not perfect, but we always have a plan B, C, D… Sometimes we'll just improvise! We're masters of damage control. Late arrival? Got it covered. Lost phone? We'll find it. Someone overindulged? We'll get them safely home (hopefully). We're yourHotel Hop Now
