Advantages: breathtaking, romantic, gorgeous rooms

Disadvantages: quite pricey

Wow, what a hotel... if anyone wants a special treat, has a special ocassion or just fancies a romantic getaway then this is the place for you. I got a really great deal and only paid £80 for the room through a late booking site. I called beforehand to ask them to arrange some champagne in the room amd the staff were really helpful and made sure it was on ice for when |I arrived.
The hotel is an old prison building and it has been maintained to still have that feel. The rooms are the old prison cells and are absolutely breathtaking. the decor is so impressive, the walls are all of thick stone with heavy metal beams everywhere. There is a dvd player and stereo in each room and the bathrooms are just as luxurious. Believe it or not, even though very luxurious they even although dogs!
We went for a drink in the bar before going to the theatre and the cocktails were great in a lovely atmosphere although quite expensive. There is also a bar only accesible by one lift that feels like a very private members club with waiter service and high vaulted ceilings. All in all an amazing hotel situated right in the city centre. An experience not to be forgotton.

Summary: An amazing hotel for a special treat
