“Eclectic, funky hotel with rooms designed by different artists. Each room is as whacky as the next - the themes jump from time, to space, to travel. The sculptures in the lobby and philosophy in the stairwell accompany the guests en route rather like an art gallery in which you can stay the night. ”

Hotel Review
With a railway line so close that it almost collides, this privately owned hotel needs to work extra hard to attract its guests – and it certainly does. Each room is designed and decorated by a different artist (who receives a small ‘royalty’ every time it’s used) and each is completely unique; the website tells all. Try for a non-railway room, though double glazing does much to dampen the noise. Breakfast is taken in the brasserie next door. Great fun.
