    quirky decor
    ideal location
    uncomfortably warm room
    cramped bathroom
    weak shower pressure

    The quirky decor created a unique atmosphere that I thoroughly enjoyed. The location is ideal, with easy access to all the main attractions nearby. the room felt uncomfortably warm and lacked air circulation, making it hard to relax. The bathroom was notably cramped, and the shower pressure was quite weak, limiting a refreshing experience.

    great breakfast

    staying at black hole was a delight. the jail theme is so unique and the furnishings are beautifully done. our double room was not only modern but also spotlessly clean, with a great shower and comfy bed. the communal room downstairs was perfect for enjoying delicious breakfasts with lots of choices.

    Unique decor themed around a prison, complete with cell numbers and peep-hole doors, creates an interesting atmosphere. Breakfast offers a wide variety, including a hearty full English that fuels a day of exploration.

    No onsite parking means a bit of a trek to the multi-storey car park, which could be a hassle, especially with inclement weather. Missing tea and coffee facilities in the room might leave some feeling a bit deprived, although there is a coffee machine on the ground floor, which was out of order during my stay. Pillows were softer than I prefer, and the lack of a chair in one room made it less comfortable for lounging.

    Charming and quirky stay

    Had a fab time exploring Winchester! The spiral staircase was a nice touch and really added to the vibe. Breakfast was a treat! Lots to choose from, especially loved the full English. Only bummer was the small bathroom—fine for me, but might be tight for some. Staff were super friendly too!

    fantastic breakfast
    traffic noise

    Had a fantastic weekend with friends! The rooms were quirky and very clean, and the bathrooms were top-notch. We visited the beautiful cathedral and enjoyed the peaceful park nearby. A heads up, check in is at 3 pm, but there’s a cozy pub next door to hang out while you wait. Don't miss the breakfast!

    We noticed some traffic noise during the day since the place is near a busy road, but it was quiet at night. this didn’t affect our stay negatively.

    Unique Stay with Character and Comfort!

    I enjoyed my stay, especially the cozy communal kitchen where I made late-night snacks. The staff were incredibly helpful, and I loved the quirky decor inspired by prison cells. For a great meal, don't miss The Black Rat next door, the dining experience was a highlight!

    Unique and Friendly Experience

    I had a fantastic stay in a quirky, cell-like room that was very clean and comfortable. The staff were exceptionally welcoming and made breakfast a treat with freshly cooked offerings. The rooftop terrace provided stunning views of the city, which was a highlight of my visit. Just a heads-up, the lack of designated parking could be inconvenient if you're driving.
