Guest Reviews
There room was absolutely perfect, so clean and the extra details were unreal!
Quirky and different, but exactly what we were looking for. Theme is romantic and the roll top bath for 2 is a great touch. Clean and comfortable room with everything you need. Perfect stay thanks Impossible
The bed and the pillows were the most comfy I've ever slept on.
The hotel was awesome - such a cool atmosphere and the bedroom (a Sublime room) was so extravagant. Everything from the moody but art deco decoration to the amazing 4 poster bed was brilliant. The little battery candles on the mantle piece as well added an extra bit of romance. While the bathroom was small, this presented no issue as everything was still perfectly usable and fit for purpose. The "black out" curtain on the window was also lovely as it left the room in total darkness when it came time to sleep. We loved our stay here.
Very good position , quirky

Very unusual hotel well worth taking a look around if you get the chance. The theming was quite unique and the staff are very friendly. Added bonus of a bar just downstairs.
