Funky decor but no air con!
Pros:

Funky eclectic decor - makes a nice change from the usual chain hotels' corporate style, it looks a fun place to stay!

Cons:

My room was really small, at the top of the building with no air conditioning, and only a fan that wafted hot air around - had the worst nights sleep imaginable - I guess the price you pay for "artisan" and not the management's fault as they say they cant install air con because its a victorian building - but definitley not a place to to stay in a heat wave!!!

Fijn sfeervol hotel!
Pros:

Fijn hotel, goede sfeer, bijzondere inrichting. Geen standaard hotel maar iets bijzonders en dat geeft het echt een plus!
Heel vriendelijk en behulpzaam personeel. (Met uitzondering van de wat knorrige bediening bij het ontbijt)

Cons:

Het ontbijt was fors aan de prijs voor wat je kreeg. Maar goed, alles in de UK is fors aan de prijs....

Wij hadden een kamer aan de voorkant op de begane grond. Daarom durfden we de ramen niet open te laten staan als we weg waren, maar ook 's nachts sliep het toch niet helemaal rustigmet het idee dat er zo iemand binnen kon stappen. En in verband met de warmte wilden we de ramen echt open! Bovendien ligt het hotel aan een drukke straat en vanaf 's ochtends vroeg was het verkeerslawaai erg aanwezig.

Great location!
Pros:

Excellent location with shops, cafes and bars nearby. Lovely neighbourhood. Bus stop outside went straight into the city centre. Room was tiny but very clean. Bed and pillows were very comfy.

Cons:

Room very tiny. No wardrobe just a few hooks/hangers on the wall. Disgusted that we were charged 15 pounds per night for parking in their own carpark but had little alternative. Would have been great if breakfast had been included.

Pros:

Das Haus liegt perfekt und ist wunderschön eingerichtet. Der Frühstücksraum ist in einem Wintergarten und hat ein tolle Atmosphäre. Der junge Mann am Empfang war sehr freundlich.

Cons:

Unser Zimmer war sehr klein, wir hatten zu zweit ein 140 cm breites Bett. Ich hatte das Gefühl, dass es eigentlich ein Einzelzimmer war.
