Reception staff were very welcoming and helpful. Location was perfect. Loved our stay and will be back.

Nick United Kingdom

Great decor, excellent location, big comfortable bed, great complimentary bathroom products

Lucio United Kingdom

Absolutely loved the decor in the room, it felt very plush and luxurious for such a great price. Great location, with it's own restaurant and bar. The restaurant felt very high-end and the food was lovely but it wasn't expensive. The bar also had a great atmosphere and feel. We booked the party package, which included a complimentary bottle of Prosecco on arrival. There were lots of great touches, such as the complimentary still/sparkling water in glass bottles, dinner mints, tea, coffee, hot chocolate, milk and biscuits.

Natalie United Kingdom

Really cool hotel with really nice rooms. Great location and great prices.

John United States of America

Location is easily accessible and the room itself was a surprise. Probably one of the most inviting rooms that I have ever stayed in and I've stayed in a lot! Staff were just as friendly and extremely helpful from check in to checkout. Overall, this place is an 11/10.

Scott United States of America

Great boutique hotel with quirky unique rooms Five minute walk from the train station and ten minute walk to Piccadilly gardens and shops Recommended

Chris United Kingdom

Everything was great! Especially loved the beautiful spacious shower. The bed was super comfortable as well. We only stayed for one night but we had a wonderful time and would absolutely return.

Ami United States of America

Staff at front desk was so friendly and accommodating. We also adored the 19 year old tending bar!

Kierstin United States of America
