Poshtel
"We had a huge room in this lovely, quirky hotel. Staff were really helpful and the breakfast was great. Loved the little steam punk details. Would definitely stay again. To note that parking is on the street but it ’s perfectly safe."

Only 1 very small minor thing, the shower curtains didn't go all the way to the floor. All in all it was a great place to stay in ..."
