Mixed feelings
Pros:

Great breakfast Friendly bar and breakfast staff. Clean and different

Cons:

A small bed and not the king sized in the description.
I am not a fan of glass portioned toilets visible to all corners of the room because of the mirrors
One tea-bag in the draw. I know times are hard but....
Shutters above ceiling skylight were open with no way of closing, so we were awake at 6.30am with sun streaming in.

Something different to the Norm.

Quirky fun stay
Pros:

This is a quirky place and advertises it well. If you like chain hotels then this is not the place for you.
This was a Monday night stay, so very quiet and probably not reflective of the weekend, but it seems like it would be a lot of fun then.

Cons:

Anything would be rather picky here. Bubble bath for the open bath maybe and probably not enough tea bags for the tea drinking monsters we are. 😆
