Lock in a great price for Velvet Hotel - rated 8.9 by recent guests.

to get started.

Great location, nice cozy room and helpful staff. What else to to ask for.

Krunoslav, Germany

The rooms were a decent size and the hotel was very clean.

Daniel, United Kingdom

I just loved the room. It was the old and the new blended perfectly. The glass windows above the bed added to the ambience. A very cosy feeling. Huge bathroom. Lots of amenities.

Ellen, Australia

Always exceeds my expectations! Rooms are stunning, and staff are amazing

Stacey, United Kingdom

The staff were excellent really helpful and welcoming. Beautiful room with comfy bed. Loved that there was fresh milk to use.

Lucy, Ireland

The room was lovely and cozy. The bed was the most comfortable bed I ever slept on, not too soft and not too firm. Also, having both soft and firm pillows is an amazing idea as I always struggle with pillow in hotels because most of the are just too soft and go flat.

Eszter, United Kingdom

Interesting duplex suite - great Marco Pierre White restaurant Fresh milk and sliced lime and lemon in the mini bar - the latter a welcome first - never seen that in any top hotel in the world

David, United Kingdom

Really comfortable bed , Room contained everything you could need or want , the staff were excellent and could not have been more pleasant of helpful

Paul, United Kingdom

Very clean and tidy plenty of attractions around not far from the city centre

Sean, United Kingdom

Fantastic individual decorated rooms. We got the double shower which was special. Ideal location for what we wanted. Very clean and quiet.

The noise outside the hotel was very disturbing and I struggled to get to sleep until approx 3am due to shouting and arguing outside.

“An amazing hotel!”
- • Couple
- • Velvet King Room
- • Stayed 2 nights
For the price, I think it would be a lot better if there was a shared kitchen for the hotel guests so they have the chance to prepare meals if they dont want to spend a lot of money dining in the restuarant for several days as the hotel itself isn't very cheap so this way guests could save some money by making meals themselves. Even if it's a microwave and a mini hob that's already a good opportunity for the quests.
The room was lovely and cozy. The bed was the most comfortable bed I ever slept on, not too soft and not too firm. Also, having both soft and firm pillows is an amazing idea as I always struggle with pillow in hotels because most of the are just too soft and go flat.

The room was fabulous. I did not expect it to be so big. The room was very stylish and I loved the colour scheme, black & gold. The wardrobe was large and spacious, with an ironing board and a hairdryer. There were actual glasses and not plastic cups. Also I loved the products, L'Occitane. There was a fully stocked mini fridge and a coffee machine I do not usually eat a full breakfast but in this case i did. I am a veggie and the breakfast was filling. Also had toast and cereal with coffee. I took advantage of 2 for 1 cocktails in the bar, The staff were lovely and very helpful. It was a glamourous room. I would stay again.
