When is check-in/out? Can you store my bags?

Our check-in commences at 3pm and extends into the mystical hours of the night. As for check-out, it is a moment of bittersweet sorcery, as the clock strikes 11am the magic of your stay must come to a close and you must return to the mundane world beyond.

We don’t want the weight of your worldly possessions to impede upon your magical journey. Thus, you can securely store your luggage from 11.30am inside your booked room on the day of your arrival. However, we must be notified prior to this.

Am I allowed an Early Check-in or a Late Check-out?

If you need an early check from 12am onwards or a Late check-out till 12am, please CALL us the day before your arrival in order to accommodate your request. We may allow only one request per day. If you have booked via third parties such as booking.com, there is a £10 fee for an early check-in, based on availability.

Can I pay directly in the hotel?

There is no Reception hence no possibility to make payments in the hotel. All the payments must be done online or over the phone.

How do I check the availability?

The only way to check the availability is from our website. Please fill the dates you are interested and the list of the available rooms will show up.
