I return to Velvet Hotel time after time. The staff are always friendly and super helpful no matter what time you check in or out. The rooms are unique with incredible decor - I look forward to finding out if I've been allocated a different room each time I stay. I'm not sure I want to recommend it too highly as it might be booked up when I want to stay next time!

Check in was quick, received an upgrade to a Duplex Suite, which I didn’t know until I got to the room. Hotel is well located, few mins walk from Piccadilly, and into the city. Suite was lovely. Had its own bar area, well Stocked fridge and snacks. Big bathroom with a great bath, separate shower. And an upstairs toilet next to the bed on the mezzanine level. The room was a welcome change the usual bland hotel rooms I’m used to in the larger chains. Will defo be back:

In the heart of the gay village, this was the perfect location for my visit. A safe and walkable to so many areas of the city. A vibrant nightlife just outside the door, yet my room was so quiet you wouldn't know it.

Amazing location and very welcoming staff. No issues with noise on the back side of the hotel and I loved the gorgeous large room with a glass canopy (complete with very functional shades). Only drawbacks were 1) the WiFi was rather weak and 2) the room could have used a bit more of a gay touch to the bathroom amenities (wink)
