Horrible to the point I left even after I booked just wasted my money had do book a much cleaner space
Pros:

Only the nice gestures like free prosecco, slippers and coffee e.t.c

Cons:

It was dirty and you aren’t told beforehand that you’ll be staying in an underground room with those windows people look at you from the pavement. So you really don’t get a view unless u wanna see peoples feet walk past..
Also there was left over poo residue in the toilet which is absolutely nasty and it was a foul smell upon arrival mixed with cleaning chemicals which helps insinuates that someone used the toilet and it wasn’t clean properly, which is weird cause they said no one used the room in a long time

Unique hotel, well worth a visit, but be prepared to be warm if you’re in a basement room
Pros:

The hotel is small, friendly, quirky, unique and really quite luxurious. Wonderful bed with big fluffy pillows and high quality linen. The milk and cookies before bed was an unexpected treat, as were the free tea and coffee facilities provided in the basement sitting area. Hairdryer, styling wand and straighteners provided in a Cow Hollow tote…. Lanvin toiletries and big white fluffy towels and…. free slippers and ear plugs to take home! Staff were friendly and helpful. - nothing too much. And breakfast in bed. - what a treat!

Cons:

The room was perfect for.a single traveller but would have been crowded with 2 and I didn’t like that I couldn’t open a window - the room got a bit stuffy but a fan was provided to cool it down somewhat. It was a little noisy during the evening with guests returning but that didn’t last for long.
